when accelerating onto the freeway, hit 55mph and the car just stopped going. it would not go into any gear, turned off car and it still wouldnt go into gear. AAA showed up said "oh, we see this in the acadia all the time" plugged something in under the dash, the check engine light went off and he said "there you go, now it'll work fine, just dont give it hard gas when getting up to speed" turns out the code was a tranny code that when he cleared it the tranny would then work. Its bad enough i have to deal with this leaking A/C unit, 3 cans a week, and that smell is terrible, i cant even get the car up to speed when entering the freeway traffic. please make gmc fix these issues, i know im not the only one with both issues. Thank you.
My 2007 GMC Acadia spontaneously caught fire while driving. No warning lights and or notifications came on. My car began to fill with smoke from the floorboard and smoke came from the hood. The front end of the car was fully engulfed in a matter of minutes, total loss.
GMC please take accountability for the sunroof leak issue! years of data, almost 100 complaints, someone should already know about this and have a solution! my car has serious leaking issues from the sunroof above the driver, electrical to cabin doesn't always work except dash lights, and headlights/turn signals work sporadically. The locks work when they're in the mood. Also means ac/heat works sometimes..I live up North and it's 24 today. My windshield wiper fluid remains empty because it randomly turns on and drains out: Which also means replacing my wipers is a bad idea because they randomly turn on for at most an hour and dry wiping the window...and destroying the wiper blades. All wheel drive won't work, despite mechanic seeing no issues. I've taken down the mounts and tried to flush the draining tubes myself..and they're clear with no leaks when I tested the tubes. I don't know what to do. I wish I could afford to fix this, because we need this vehicle; everyday I'm scared to drive it! we won't drive at night for the risk of the headlights shutting off, and always fingers crossed my turn signals will function today. I have kids! my families not rich, we can't afford another vehicle or the costly repair, being that I'm a single mom barely buying bread and paying rent as it is since my hours got cut from covid. I only wanted a safe vehicle, I didn't realize I had to be specific and ask for one with headlights and electronics working appropriately, too. I'll be sure to next time I buy a car...whenever that lucky day occurs. Please pray for us.
The contact owns a 2007 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that he purchased the vehicle two months ago.

Shortly after purchasing 2007 Acadia it rained and my front floorboards flooded due to the sunroof clogging up. It overflowed into the car bc it couldn't drain. Transmission shutters at 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear only at low speeds or under tension. Navigation keeps saying disc read error. Supposed to be able to get 2 free disc with the life of the car but it nearly impossible to get. I hate this car. I have had nothing but problems with it since we have gotten it. I am almost due to upgrade and I will not be getting an Acadia.
While driving on the interstate going 60 mph the SUV jerked and then the RPM accelerated and then slowed down. I had to take my foot off the accelerator. I was almost hit by a 18 wheeler. It really happens when I have the air conditioner on.
Overdrive function faulty in transmission. During cold weather stability trac kicks in and will not regain power even though there is no bad road conditions (such as snow, ice, or rain) it seems to activate when the weather is cold. It barley moves inhibiting normal traffic flow which is very dangerous. Fixed moon roof leaks causing the electrical components to malfunction and rain water drips on passengers and thoroughly soaks the carpets leaving a mildew smell.
The contact owns a 2007 GMC Acadia. While driving various speeds, the vehicle jerked and hesitated when switching gears. The failure was also present while driving in reverse. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not assist. The local dealer was not notified. The failure mileage was 61,000.
We got this 2007 GMC Acadia at 100,230 miles on August 2014. Now it has around 133,800 miles. At 115,000 miles it stated to have issues where it said stability track. The traction control turns off by itself and not sure if the stability and this are the same thing. Some electric parts have already failed. The charging outlet and electric windows don't work right. The passenger side can not be put down by driver side. The rear right side can only be put down of up by the driver. The left rear does not work when the driver puts it down or up. The power in the lift gate in the back has gone out. It only opens or closes manually. There was also a recall with the lift gate and we got it fixed. After it was fixed then a while later it would close on us and it almost hit us but we reacted fast. It only closed on us about three times then it stopped working. It was recall 15240.the safety issue is that the steering wheel gets hard to turn when making a turn or U turn. It has happened many times as I am driving. One time is almost made me crash into a car. I have taken it to two mechanics and it has engine and transmission codes. For just the transmission codes it will cost me up to $4,000. According to the carfax records it has had internal transmission repairs at 53,543 miles. I feel like this car post a safety issue because of the steering wheel problem. We have had this car for 3years and we have experienced many problems with it. GM should pay for this faulty parts.

The contact owns a 2007 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was applied numerous times. In addition, the transmission failed to function properly when shifting and various warning indicators illuminated. Within a week of owning the vehicle, it was taken to the dealer (shoreline auto group Inc, 2275 N state rd, ionia, mi 48846, (616) 523-6882). The dealer kept the vehicle for over a month due to no sound for the turn signals, various warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel, and the vehicle was slow to pick up speed. The dealer was unable to replicate and diagnose the failure for over a month. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for further diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failures months later to determine if they may be able to provide a solution to repair the vehicle. The approximate failure mileage was 14,000.
I had problems with the transmission when my vehicle had around 61,000 miles. Vehicle was not going over 25 mph and sometime it did not run at all. I took it several times to the dealer, actually a town truck had to take it because it was very dangerous to drive it. It took a lot of time and effort for me to finally get my GMC Acadia fixed. That was in 2015. Two years later I had problems with my transmission again, my GMC has now 104,000 miles. I went back to the GMC dealer where it was repaired before, but they told me that guarantee had ended 2 months ago and I had to pay $1,021 to get the transmission fixed. I'm also having problems with hood lift and the headlight swith is not working
2016 both front and back ac had to be replaced, currently transmission is slipping, rear lift gate, after recall fix, still won't shut -takes up to 3-4 times to close lift gate when nothing is in the way, dvd/cd player stopped working in 2015
