“The windshield wipers stopped mid windshield after I had taken into the shop that day I called to let them know if they perhaps unhooked somthing, except they worked for a few miles. I took it back and they said I needed to by a new motor. My husband said it was unhooked, but the wipers stick up about 1/3 of the way on the windshield”

“Seat belt sensor warning light comes on at start-up. Goes off and on when moving. The patterns are unpredictable. Sometimes it consistently turns on and off. Other times it may not display at all. I did discover a recall related to this model - recall id # 47176, effective feb 21, 2007. The local dealer however reported my model is not covered.”

“2007 Gmc Acadia slt-1 passenger air bag light goes on and off while driving. And the display in the dash says passenger air bag needs servicing. I contacted Gmc and they said they had no recalls listed for my vehicle based on my VIN number but have found several websites that says there should be an open recall based on my vehicles year, make, and model.”

“We purchased a used 07 Gmc Acadia from a local dealership and the airbag light kept going on and off by itself. I asked the dealer to check the recall list for our vehicle, however they stated all the recalls had been done. We had to pay $500.00 to fix the problem.”

NHTSA complaint #10466904, filed 2012-07, 91,400 miles

“I purchased this vehicle from a dealer, I instantly fell in love with it. Loved the room and all the features. I have owed this for less than a year. One day I had noticed water coming into the vehicle. I noticed it mainly under the drivers floor. It looked minor since the rugs are black and I have rubber floor mats. The real issue happen while driving my airbag light came on and on my message center stated to service air bags. I didnt have a chance to address the issue since this happen around the holidays. I decided not to drive my Gmc until I could get into a GM dealer. …”
