DRIVING MY 2007 GMC ACADIA. WENT TO PASS A SLOWER VEHICLE, PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO PASS AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT HAYWIRE AND THE ACCELERATOR STUCK. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL TO GET IT STOPPED. THE RPMS WERE IN THE 4000S. THEN THE ACCELERATION WOULD STOP AND START AGAIN OVER TO 4000. LUCKILY WHEN I PASSED THE VEHICLE THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME OR I WOULD HAVE HAD A MAJOR ACCIDENT WITH THE ACCELERATION OUT OF CONTROL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT TWO OF THE TIMING CHAINS WERE VERY WORN AND THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE CLUTCH PRESSURE CONTROL WITH HARSH SHIFTS IN DRIVE RANGE 3RD AND/OR 5TH GEAR. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME THE GMC DEALER 'FLASHED' (REPROGRAMMED) THE TRANSMISSION, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT ACTING UP WHEN THE CAR WAS TAKEN INTO THE SHOP. IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT ADDRESSED "PROPERLY", I BELIEVE SOMEONE SOMEWHERE WILL BE INJURED OR KILLED. THE CONDITION MY VEHICLE EXHIBITED LEAVES ME WITH A VERY UNEASY FEELING. *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

MY FAMILY AND I WERE TRAVELING ON I-20 BACK FROM COLUMBIA IN MY 2007 GMC ACADIA. I NOTICED A WHINING NOISE, TIGHTEN IN THE STEERING, TOLD MY HUSBAND THAT WE NEED TO STOP FOR GAS AND CHECK THE FLUIDS. YIELDING AT THE NEXT EXIT I COULD NOT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I FINALLY WITH ALL MY STRENGTH TURN THE VEHICLE INTO A HESS GAS STATION. WE CHECK FLUIDS AND CALLED ONSTAR FOR A DIAGNOSTICS REPORT. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP TOLD US THAT THEY DID NOT SEE ANYTHING IN THE MAJOR PARTS BUT DID TRY TO CALL A GM DEALERSHIP (KING CADILLAC). KING WAS NOT OPEN AND WOULD SCHEDULE AN APPT ON MONDAY. MY HUSBAND DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHICH WE LEFT FOR EARLY DROP OFF. RECEIVED A CALL FROM TECHNICAL ON MONDAY PM, WHICH STATED IT WAS THE POWER STEERING PUMP. ASKED HIM ABOUT IF THERE WAS ANY COMPLAINT OR RECALLS ON THE PUMP BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS REPLACE BACK AT 14,000 MILES. THIS WOULD BE THE 3RD PUMP THAT HAS BEEN PUT ON THIS CAR. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING AND NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN ON SEPT. 10, 2008 FOR THIS PROBLEM AND MANY COMPLAINTS SINCE 2008. *TR

I PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM GMC DEALERSHIP A 2007 GMC ACADIA. ABOUT A YEAR LATER AFTER HEAVY RAINS, I HAD WATER LEAKING FROM THE SUNROOF AND DVD PLAYER AREA. I DID RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT BAD ROOF DRAIN TUBES. TOOK ACADIA INTO DEALERSHIP FEB20, 2009 TO GET INSTALLED/REPAIRED. YEAR LATER, FEB 18, 2010, HAD TO AGAIN, TAKE ACADIA INTO DEALERSHIP FOR SAME ISSUE. WATER COMING THRU LIGHT FIXTURES NOW. BUT THEY REPLACED SEAL ON SUNROOF. ON MAY 17,2010, RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE AGAIN, WATER LEAKING INTO CAR. SAID THEY WATER TESTED CAR AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS. (THEY TOLD ME IT'S BECAUSE I PARK MY CAR ON A INCLINE DRIVEWAY.) ARRIVED TO TAKE MY CAR HOME, BUT THEY STOPPED ME BECAUSE WHEN THEY WASHED MY CAR, THEY NOTICED WATER LEAKING FROM THE ROOF (SAME AREAS AS BEFORE). THEY "FIXED" THE PROBLEM AGAIN, AND RETURNED ACADIA TO ME. AND YESTERDAY, 2 MONTHS LATER, I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SAME WATER LEAK ISSUE. AGAIN, TOLD ME NOT TO PARK ON INCLINE. THEY RESEALED REAR SUNROOF, REMOVED HEADLINER AND SUNROOF FRAME AND SEALED DRAIN HOLES PER BULLETIN. SAME DAY THERE WAS RAINS, AND NO MORE THAN 6 HOURS LATER, ACADIA IS STILL LEAKING WATER ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. CARPET SOAKING WET AND THE SMELL OF MILDEW IS SETTING IN. TOTAL OF 4 ATTEMPTS TO FIX LEAKING WATER IN ACADIA. NOT FIXED YET. (FOR THE RECORD, THE ACADIA IS A GREAT CROSSOVER VEHICLE. THE ONLY ISSUE I HAVE WITH IT IS THE LEAKING ROOF.) *TR

The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge. The recall began on November 15, 2016. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782, and Saturn customer service at 1-800-553-6000.

DP12003 · Loss Of Headlamp Illumination

Opened Jun 4, 2012 · Closed Jul 24, 2014

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Exterior Lighting:headlights

As of July 16, 2014, out of a population of 248,453 subject vehicles, NHTSA received 473 consumer complaints of inoperative head lamp. Many of these complaints indicated that the head lamp harness suffered damage from overheating. After reviewing the complaints, ODI found: -69% (328) alleged that a single head lamp was inoperative. -18% (86) alleged that both head lamps were inoperative but not at the same time. -9% (41) alleged that both head lamps were inoperative but the complaints did not indicate whether the failures had occurred at the same time. -4% (17) alleged that both head lamps were inoperative at the same time. -One additional complaint cited wire harness damage to both sides but did not specify an outage -No crashes or loss of vehicle control were reported. -Any alleged thermal damages were limited to melting of the head lamp harness and the head lamp housing. -A head lamp would intermittently fail to come on or flickers before becoming completely inoperative. For the seventeen complaints that alleged simultaneous failure of both head lamps while attempting to turn them on or while driving, the head lamp failures likely had occurred one at a time. The subject vehicle's head lamps are connected in a parallel circuit and each circuit is fused. Therefore, failure of one head lamp or its harness should not affect the other head lamp operation. Over the last 25 years, ODI has opened numerous defect investigations of the loss of headlamp illumination.Investigations that resulted in safety recalls involved simultaneous loss of illumination from both headlamps. NHTSA does not consider the loss of a single headlamp as presenting an unreasonable safety risk-such failures are readily detectable by the driver while allowing the vehicle to retain forward visibility and conspicuity from the remaining headlamp.There is typically enough time between the failure of the first headlamp and the second during which the vehicle operator can obtain the needed repairs. Based on the information currently available, NHTSA does not believe that the headlamp condition as alleged by the petitioner indicates the likelihood of a safety-related defect that would warrant a formal investigation.Therefore, in view of the need to allocate and prioritize NHTSA's limited resources to best accomplish the agency's safety mission, the petition is denied.Further specifics can be found in the Federal Register Notice ODI complaint ID numbers are referenced on the next page.
