THE CAR HAS LEAKED SINCE WE BOUGHT IT. WE HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIME AT THE PLACE WE BOUGHT IT AND IT CONTINUES TO LEAK. RECENTLY, THE LEAK HAS STARTED TO AFFECT THE ELECTRICAL WORKINGS OF THE CAR. THE FLOOR HAS BEEN SATURATED WITH WATER AND WHEN APPROACHING A STOP, WATER WILL POUR FROM THE CEILING, SOAKING THE DRIVER AND REAR PASSENGERS. THE WATER WILL RUN DOWN THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD WHICH IMPACTS VISIBILITY. *TR

WATER HAS BEEN POURING IN THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. IT STARTED IN THE REAR OVERHEAD LIGHTS, DVD PLAYER AND HAS PROGRESSED TO THE FRONT OF THE INTERIOR, SOAKING THE DASH BOARD AND CAUSING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO MALFUNCTION. SO MUCH AS KILLING THE BATTERY, THE REAR DOOR OPENING ON ITS OWN, THE HEAT NOT RESPONDING TO THE FRONT . I SPOKE TO TECHNICIANS IN SALISBURY WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR, A GMC DEALERSHIP. HE HAS STATED MY WARRANTY HAD RUN OUT, NEVER STATING THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ACADIA. I THOUGHT IT WAS A SEAL PROBLEM AND SET OUT TO ORDER ONE FROM THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND WAS ADVISED IT THAT TIME, IT WAS PROBABLY THE DRAIN HOSES, OD COURSE THE PROBLEM WAS NOT IDENTIFIED AS BEING COMMON WITH THIS VEHICLE. BUT WAS TOLD TO "BLOW OUT THE DRAIN HOSES" I HAVE TO PUT PLASTIC OVER MY CAR TO PREVENT WATER FROM ENTERING, MY RESEARCH HAS DISCOVERED SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE GMC HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND BE MADE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. FIRST THE STRUTS WERE BLOWN, THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD GO FROM BRIGHT TO DIM, THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A CLICKING NOISE, THE WINDOWS LEAK...THIS CAR ONLY HAS 41,000 MILES I MEAN COME ON! NOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS COMPLETELY FAILED AND AFTER READING OTHER WEBSITES IT SOUNDS LIKE I WILL BE PAYING $4,000 DOLLARS. I AM A NEW MOM AND HAVE 3 STEP KIDS. I CAN'T FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR BECAUSE I'M WORRIED ABOUT IT BREAKING DOWN CONSTANTLY. NOW I HAVE TO DUMP ALL THIS MONEY THAT I DON'T HAVE INTO IT. I REALLY JUST WANT TO CUT MY LOSSES, BUT IS THAT REALLY THE BEST THING TO DO? I'M STUCK WITH THIS JUNKER CAR AND I COULDN'T FEEL MORE SORRY FOR ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I'M ABSOLUTELY MISERABLE. THANKS GMC YOU SUCK. *TR

THE WASHER FLUID LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON, NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE TAKEN IT FOR REPAIR THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT 8 MONTHS AFTER THE VEHICLE THREE MONTHS LATER AT THIS PRESENT TIME. AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR NOT EVEN A YEAR, THE TRANSMISSION HAS GIVEN OUT BEYOND REPAIR. I HAVE GOTTEN SEVERAL DIFFERENT PEOPLE TO LOOK AT IT, ITS BEYOND REPAIR (REBUILD). I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS I REALLY HOPE THIS HELPS, I DON'T THINK THE CUSTOMERS SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR OF THIS CONSTANT PROBLEM. *TR

TOOK 2007 GMC ACADIA IN BECAUSE AC BLOWER MOTOR WAS NOT WORKING. WHEN AC WAS TURNED ON IT WOULD MAKE A LOUD NOISE AND COULDN'T GET AIR TO FLOW. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE BLOWER MOTOR WENT OUT DUE TO WATER LEAKING IN THOUGH THE SIDE AND FRONT BODY PANELS. SINCE THE 36,000 BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY IS UP THIS LEAK IS NO LONGER COVERED. WE HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT BECAUSE THE MOTOR WENT OUT DUE TO A WATER LEAK THE BLOWER MOTOR IS NOT COVERED. SO WE HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR SOMETHING THAT IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE TO BEGIN WITH. I HAVE ALSO HAD WATER LEAK IN THROUGH THE INSIDE AIRBAG SQUARE, I HOPE THAT THIS INFLATES IF I NEED THEM. *TR
