MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IN THE WALMART PARKING LOT AND WENT THROUGH A PUDDLE OF WATER CAUSING THE POWER STEERING TO STOP WORKING. I TOLD HER TO STAY THERE UNTIL I COULD GET THERE TO MEET HER. WHEN I ARRIVED, I DROVE THE VEHICLE THROUGH ABOUT AN INCH OF STANDING WATER IN THE SAME PARKING LOT AND THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONE MORE TIME SINCE THEN WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 25 MPH ON A ROAD NEAR OUR HOME. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2011 GMC ACADIA (DENALI) HAS NOW BEEN TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES (AND LIKELY AN UPCOMING 4TH) DUE TO THE RIGHT FRONT POWER DOOR LOCK AND WINDOW (AND REAR HATCH) WORKING INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE PAST YEAR. THEY HAVE TRIED TO REPLACED THE DOOR MODULE AND REPROGRAMMED IT. THE NEXT TIME, THEY REPLACED BOTH THE MALE AND FEMALE TERMINALS IN THE CONNECTOR AND APPLIED SOME GREASE. NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT THEY DID THE THIRD TIME. MY CONCERN IS THAT IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN ALTHOUGH AFTER 24 HOURS IT WAS FINE. I UNDERSTAND GM CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL OUT FOR SUVS BUT FOR MORE OLDER VEHICLES = FIRE, SMOKE, OTHER ARE LINKED TO ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE DOOR UNIT. JUST WONDERING IF MY VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE EVEN THOUGH ITS 5 YEARS NEWER. THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AS OF YET. *TR
