MY 2008 GMC ACADIA SLT2 MODEL HAS WATER LEAKING INTO THE PASSENGER CABIN. THE WATER LEAKS ARE COMING FROM THE SEAT BELT RETRACTION AREA ON THE PILLARS LEADING DOWN FROM THE ROOF AND ALSO ON THE PILLARS AT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WHERE THE AIRBAGS ARE LOCATED. I ALSO HAVE WATER SOAKING THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER RUGS, IT APPEARS WATER IS RUNNING DOWN THE FIRE WALL FROM THE FRONT POSSIBLY DOWN THE PILLARS. THE ROOD HEADLINER IS GETTING WET AT EACH SPOT WHERE THE ROOF PILLARS MEET THE HEADLINER. I AM QUITE CONCERNED ABOUT WATER AFFECTING THE ELECTRONICS, FUSE BOX, AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MOLD. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL SQUEAKS WHEN I DEPRESS IT AND I ATTRIBUTE THIS TO THE WATER HITTING AREAS IT SHOULD NOT BE. I PURCHASED THIS CAR WITH 1,275 MILES ON IT AS A CERTIFIED PRE OWNED VEHICLE ON 12/12/07 AND I AM BRINGING IT BACK TO THE DEALER TOMORROW 12/26/07 TO SEE WHAT THEY PLAN ON DOING TO REMEDY SAME. I HAVE READ OF VARIOUS OTHER EXPERIENCES WITH WATER LEAKS AFFECTING THE FUSE BOX AND ELECTRONICS FOR OVERALL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. I FEEL UNSAFE. I'VE READ SOMETHING ABOUT A TSB # 07-08-57-002A BUT I DO NOT SEE IT LISTED ON YOUR SITE, I WILL LOOK FURTHER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY VEHICLE SAT OUT IN THE RAIN OVER NIGHT AND THE NEXT DAY WHEN I GOT TO WORK I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, SO I GOT BACK IN THE CAR AND ALL LIGHTS WERE OFF ONLY THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. I TURNED THE KEY OVER AND THEN BACK AND THEN AT THAT POINT THE ENGINE STOPPED. WHEN I RETURNED TO MY CAR THAT EVENING AFTER WORK MY CAR WAS DEAD. IT TOOK TWO GUYS 30 MINUTES TO GET MY BATTERY TO CHARGE. ONCE MY BATTERY WAS CHARGED MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT REMAINED ON. THE NEXT MORNING MY CAR WAS DEAD WHEN I TURNED THE KEY ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TURNED ON AND I COULD NOT GET THE KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY SITTING IN MY GARAGE AND WE ARE TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT STEP TO TAKE IF WE SHOULD GET IT TOWED TO A DEALER TO LOOK AT, BUT LOOKING AT OTHER REVIEWS IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION AT THE DEALERSHIP. IN THE PAST AND ON THIS OCCASION MY VEHICLE WAS LEAKING WATER MAINLY ABOVE THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR AREA. I OFTEN WOULD NOTICE WATER ON THE PASSENGER FLOOR AND WATER IN THE THIRD ROW LIGHTS CEILING AREA. SO I AM ASSUMING MY ELECTRONICS ARE WET AND WHEN THEY DRY OUT MY CAR WILL ACT NORMAL AGAIN. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL OR SOME TYPE OF REMEDY FOR THIS. I GUESS FROM NOW ON MY VEHICLE NEEDS TO GO IN THE GARAGE, BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MY FAMILY IS ON A TRIP. I CAN NOT RELY ON MY CAR SO NOT SURE WHAT THE POINT OF KEEPING IT IS, BUT I SURE DON'T WANT TO KEEP PASSING MY CAR OFF ON SOME OTHER POOR PERSON. THERE NEEDS TO BE A REMEDY. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A RELIABLE CAR AND I AM ALSO WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY FOR MY FAMILY WITH ELECTRICAL SHORTS AND FIRE HAZARD DUE TO THE WATER LEAKAGE PROBLEMS. *TR
