ON MONDAY, WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR, I STARTED NOTICING THAT THE CAR WAS NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY. I DID NOT THINK MUCH ABOUT IT. THEN ON THE WED OF THAT WEEK AS I WAS DRIVING IN A MAJOR CITY DOWNTOWN AREA FOR THE MORNING COMMUTE, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON... I WAS AT A STOP TRIED TO ACCELERATE AND THE RPM'S REVVED. STEPPED ON THE GAS AND THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO 1 TO 2 MILES AN HOUR THEN SPEED UP ... DEALER SAID THAT THERE WERE "MANY PARTS IN THE PAN" AND THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. $3600 PLUS TAX OR HAVE IT REBUILT $3300 PLUS TAX. CALLED GM AFTER READING THE VARIOUS POST ON EDMUNDS ABOUT THE ACADIA PROBLEMS. THEY WERE VERY NICE AND OPENED A CLAIM BUT AS OF YET, NO ONE EVER CALLED ME BACK. WHEN THEY OPENED THE CLAIM THEY SAID SOMEONE WOULD BE IN TOUCH WITHIN 2 BUSINESS DAYS (AND THEY WOULD SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO ON SAVING ME SOME MONEY ON THE BILL) AS I WAS DUE BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP TO PICK UP MY CAR. *TR
