JUST PURCHASED 2007 GMC ACADIA 2 WEEKS AGO AND DISCOVERED A MAJOR SUNROOF LEAK. THE LEAK IS VERY BAD. THEN I FOUND OUT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE NOW I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT I AM MAKING PAYMENTS ON WITH A PROBLEM THAT I'M SURE WILL LEAD TO OTHER MAJOR PROBLEMS. *TR

LEFT FOR WORK IN THE MORNING WITH HEAVY WET SNOW FALLING BEHIND RAIN, AND PULLED OUT DRIVEWAY GOT A FEW BLOCKS DOWN AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING. *TR

WIPERS QUIT WORKING AT 40MPH IN A FREEZING FOG/RAIN. I LIFTED HOOD AND COULD SEE WIPER LINKAGE DANGLING INSIDE COWL OF VEHICLE. I HAVE READ AND SEEN THAT THIS IS A OPEN RECALL FOR VEHICLE IN STATES WITH COMMON WINTER WEATHER. *TR

FRONT AND REAR WIPER AND SPRAY CONTROL WORKING BACKWARDS. THE FRONT CONTROL SWITCH ACTIVATES THE FRONT WIPERS AND REAR SPRAY AND THE REAR CONTROL SWITCH OPERATES THE REAR WIPERS AND FRONT SPRAY. THIS APPEARS TO HAVE OCCURRED AFTER SERVICE RECALL FOR HEATING AND SNOW/ICE ISSUES AS IT WORKED PROPERLY BEFORE THE SERVICE. *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

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ACADIA. THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION AND ACTIVATED THE WINDSHIELD WASHER. THE FLUID DISPENSED QUICKLY AND FORCEFULLY FROM THE RESERVOIR AND FAILED TO DISENGAGE.

THE AUTHORIZED DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE DUE TO A MISUNDERSTANDING. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND WILL BE TAKEN TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR THE RECALL REPAIR.

RECALL ON MY GMC 2007 ACADIA FOR LEAKING SUNROOF. RECALL WORK DONE ON 09/24/08. REPLACED "FAULTY DRAIN TUBES" RECALL #08207.

TOOK TRUCK IN TO BE REPAIRED THAT DAY. THEY COULD NOT GET TO IT FOR 3 DAYS, WORK WAS DONE ON 04/06/09. I WAS TOLD THE PROCEDURES THEY HAD TO PERFORM THE RECALL BACK IN SEPT. WERE INCORRECT, THEREFORE CAUSING THE PROBLEM/LEAKING. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAPPENED TO. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE "RECALL ON THE RECALL" AND AS A RESULT, MY SUNROOF LEAKED AND FILLED MY TRUCK WITH WATER AND WHO KNOWS WHAT TYPE OF DAMAGE WILL RESULT BECAUSE OF IT. ELECTRICAL? WILL MY AIRBAG WORK? MOLD? I WAS TOLD THERE WILL BE NO DAMAGE AS A RESULT BUT HOW CAN THAT BE GUARANTEED? *TR

ON TWO OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING MY CAR ON A SNOWY DAY, ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING, ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR CRASH.
