SINCE PURCHASE OF CAR NEW IT WOULD MAKE A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE, WHICH COULD BE FELT ON DRIVER SIDE FLOOR. COULD NEVER DUPLICATE FOR TECH. EVERYTIME IT IN SHOP THEY CHECKED THE PROBLEM. FINALLY AT 20,000 MILES THEY DECIDED TO CHANGE ENTIRE RACK, THOUGHT THIS WOULD FIX PROBLEM. IT DIDN'T. CLUNK GOT LOUDER AND LOUDER, BUT OF COURSE STILL COULD NOT DUPLICATE FOR TECH. AT 45,000 THEY CHANGED RACK AGAIN. I GUESS THIS CAR HAS A DISPOSABLE RACK. LUCKY FOR ME I HAD A CLAIM NUMBER WITH GENERAL MOTORS AND IT WAS COVERED. ON APPROX 12/22 PUT CAR IN PARK ON A FLAT SURFACE. CAR MOVED APPROX 4FT, HAD TO PUT BRAKE ON TO STOP. THEN A FEW DAYS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. WAS TOLD BY TECH 1ST TIME I IT'S A CHARACTERISTIC OF ACADIA. WHEN I CONTACTED GM THEY SAY THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD THIS AND THE TECH COULD NOT DUPLICATE. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE. GM OFFERED ME 2,000 FOR ME TO BUY A NEW CAR BUY A NEW CAR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I BELIEVE I HAVE SOME TYPE OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I STARTED TESTING DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS SUCH AS THE DRIVER SEATBELT. I PURPOSELY DROVE SEVERAL MILES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WITH THE SEATBELT OVER ME, BUT NOT ENGAGED AND THE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON. MY AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT CAME ONE FOR SERVICE, THEY SERVICED IT, IT CAME BACK ON, THEY REPLACED A SEATBELT COMPONENT, THE LIGHT WAS OFF, BUT CAME BACK ON, THEY DID ANOTHER REPLACEMENT AND THE LIGHT IS NOW OFF. MY FRONTEND WAS MAKING FUNNY NOISE WHEN MAKING TURNS, THEY REPLACED MY RACK AND PINION. MY SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ONE, THEY FIXED IT, THEY CAME ON AGAIN, THEY KEPT MY VEHICLE FOR A DAY AND FIXED IT. THEY ARE BACK ON AGAIN ALONG WITH THE ABS LIGHT AND NOW I'M TOLD THAT I PROBABLY NEED A BREAK JOB. BREAKS WERE NOT MENTIONED THE OTHER TIMES. MY ELECTRONIC KEY PAD DETERIORATED AND NO LONGER WORKS, THEY SAID IT WAS USER HANDLING, MY OTHER KEY PAD IS NOT MALFUNCTIONING, YOU CAN SEE WERE THE PAD IS BEGINING TO SINK IN, BUT THEY SAID IT'S MY HANDLING. THE CASE IS CHIPPED AND THE CHIPPING HAS OCCURRED IN THE SAME PLACE ON BOTH KEY PADS. MY MIDDLE SEAT PASSENGER SIDE CASE CAME APART TWICE, EACH TIME THEY FIXED IT, IT'S NOW BROKEN, AND I WAS TOLD THEY DON'T REPAIR BROKEN PARTS. I AM STILL UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, BUT GMC WILL NOT REPLACE MY KEY PADS, AND THE SERVICE TECH SAYS HE WILL TRY REALLY HARD TO GET MY SEAT COVERED. THE TINT ON MY WINDOWS HAVE BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES AND STILL IS NOT CORRECT. MY DVD PLAYER DOES NOT PLAY CORRECTLY AND HAS NOT BEEN FIXED SINCE IT'S BEEN IN MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS A 2009 ACADIA. I HAD A LEAK IN THE TRUNK, THEY FIXED THAT. AIR PRESSURE WILL NOT STAY CONSISTENT, WAS TOLD BY SERVICE ADVISOR TO OVER INFLATE TO COMPENSATE, WHICH IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THE OWNERS MANUAL STATES. TIRE PRESSURE ISSUES NEEDED SENSOR REPLACED AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE IS AN EXPENSIVE PIECE OF JUNK. *TR
