“Gmc please take accountability for the sunroof leak issue! Years of data, almost 100 complaints, someone should already know about this and have a solution! My car has serious leaking issues from the sunroof above the driver, electrical to cabin doesn't always work except dash lights, and headlights/turn signals work sporadically. The locks work when they're in the mood. Also means AC/heat works sometimes..I live up north and it's 24 today. …”
NHTSA complaint #11386060, filed 2021-01, 216,000 miles“We were driving and smelled a burning smell coming from the drivers door. The drivers side windows switch, door lock switch would not work. We took it to our mechanic and he determined that the drivers side switch had burned up and melted to the door wiring harness. The switch and harness both had to be replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #10484118, filed 2012-11, 63,009 miles“The car has leaked since we bought it. We have had it in the shop several time at the place we bought it and it continues to leak. Recently, the leak has started to affect the electrical workings of the car. The floor has been saturated with water and when approaching a stop, water will pour from the ceiling, soaking the driver and rear passengers. The water will run down the inside of the windshield which impacts visibility.”
NHTSA complaint #10597916, filed 2014-06, 60,000 miles“While traveling along a speedy freeway my check engine light came on along with the following messages, check gauges, traction control off, service traction control, service stabilititrak, engine power reduced. My vehicle dropped from 70 miles per hour to 45 miles per hour in less than ten seconds. When stopped on the side of the freeway my vehicle began to shake before I turned off he car. Turning off the car resets the problem, but it came back four more times.”
NHTSA complaint #10671937, filed 2015-01, 94,000 miles“The car has had electrical and engine problems since we purchased it due to water leaks from a flawed sunroof design. Even after a recall to fix the sunroof to prevent water leaks; it continues to leak and damage electrical and engine systems. This is an ongoing problem and is a widespread concern for the 2007-2008 Gmc acadias. I would like someone to investigate this problem. I believe it is a safety concern because the leaks occur in the area where there are airbags. …”
