WHEN ACCELERATING, MY CAR SEEMS TO 'SLIP' OR 'STUTTER' BEFORE CLICKING INTO GEAR. THIS HAPPENED IN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP NEVER ACKNOWLEDGED IT WHEN I WOULD BRING IT IN TO GET CHECKED. AFTER A FEW YEARS OF OWNING IT I NOW KNOW THAT IT IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE VERY COMMON WITH THE GMC ACADIA. I HAVE READ THAT IT IS A FAULTY WAVE PLATE. NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS BUT NOW WITH ONLY 50,000 ON MY CAR IT IS REALLY BAD. IT BARELY MADE IT HOME LAST NIGHT. TRANSMISSION IS TOTALLY SLIPPING AND EVEN WHEN JUST DRIVING ALONG AT THE SAME SPEED IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE. THE GAS REVVED LIKE I WAS IN NEUTRAL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I HAD A CARLOAD OF GIRLS ON A TRIP TO THE MOUNTAINS. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE UNTIL THIS CAUSES AN ACCIDENT AND CASUALTIES! GMC NEEDS TO STEP UP AND GET THIS PART RECALLED. IT IS A FAULTY PART AND THEY NEED TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT!!! *TR

POWER TRAIN
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND APPROACHED A STOP SIGN. ONCE SHE TRIED GOING AGAIN THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND WE HAD TO TOW IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT @ 68,000 MILES? ALSO THE WATERPUMP, POWERSTEERING PUMP. MASTER CYLINDER, AS WELL AS SOMETHING WITH AN AIR BAG CONNECTOR. THE AIR BAG CONNECTOR HAS BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS SINCE WE BOUGHT IT TWO YEARS AGO AS A GM CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE. I AM NOT SURE HOW THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. *TR
