I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. FIRST THE STRUTS WERE BLOWN, THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD GO FROM BRIGHT TO DIM, THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A CLICKING NOISE, THE WINDOWS LEAK...THIS CAR ONLY HAS 41,000 MILES I MEAN COME ON! NOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS COMPLETELY FAILED AND AFTER READING OTHER WEBSITES IT SOUNDS LIKE I WILL BE PAYING $4,000 DOLLARS. I AM A NEW MOM AND HAVE 3 STEP KIDS. I CAN'T FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR BECAUSE I'M WORRIED ABOUT IT BREAKING DOWN CONSTANTLY. NOW I HAVE TO DUMP ALL THIS MONEY THAT I DON'T HAVE INTO IT. I REALLY JUST WANT TO CUT MY LOSSES, BUT IS THAT REALLY THE BEST THING TO DO? I'M STUCK WITH THIS JUNKER CAR AND I COULDN'T FEEL MORE SORRY FOR ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I'M ABSOLUTELY MISERABLE. THANKS GMC YOU SUCK. *TR
2009
STEERING
I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE POWER STEERING IN MY 2009 ACADIA. IT LOOSES POWER FOR A FEW SECONDS ALMOST EVERY TIME I MAKE A TURN NOW. IT IS EXTREMELY SCARY IF I AM IN BUSY TRAFFIC. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT I NEED TO HAVE THE WHOLE POWER STEERING PARTS REPLACED. $1700!!... WHICH IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO IS A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT THERE ARE MORE THAN ONE COMPONENT FOR THE POWER STEERING AND THAT THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO REPLACE IT ALL BECAUSE IT IS EASIER THAN ACTUALLY FIGURING OUT WHICH PART IS REALLY CAUSING THE PROBLEM AND JUST REPLACING THAT PART. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT I CAN'T TRUST THE DEALERSHIP TO TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM CORRECTLY. WE HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING AND FINDING OUT THAT MANY 2009 ACADIA OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. OBVIOUSLY GMC NEEDS TO COVER THE COSTS OF ISSUES LIKE THESE THAT ARE HAPPENING TO NOT JUST 1 OWNER BUT SEVERAL!! *TR
