“My 2007 Gmc Acadia spontaneously caught fire while driving. No warning lights and or notifications came on. My car began to fill with smoke from the floorboard and smoke came from the hood. The front end of the car was fully engulfed in a matter of minutes, total loss.”
NHTSA complaint #11405586, filed 2021-03, 186,000 miles“Vehicle. Would not shift out of first gear. Would get to almost 5 RPM before it finally shifted. When it did shift out, it shifted hard. Problemed started in august 2012 after we purchased and her it is july 2015. Dealership said they can't find anything wrong. The gas peddle did get stuck one time when the vehicle. Wouldn't shift out. Now my parking break has a leak and is always saying that the break is on.”
NHTSA complaint #10732005, filed 2015-07, 73,000 miles“My transmission went out after 58,000 miles and 5 years and 5 months. So I am over my warranty by 5 months and am out $3300. In doing some research, there seems be an abnormally high incident of transmission failures on the 2007 Gmc Acadia. Some bloggers indicate that the Acadia models have big issues before the 2010 model. Is there a systematic issue that Gmc needs to address or am I just unlucky?”
NHTSA complaint #10475714, filed 2012-09, 58,000 miles“Went to back out of my garage and the car wouldn't go. Had to have the transmission replaced. We had not been experiencing any issues with the car regarding the transmission in the days before it quit working. Other than the check engine light coming on for a few min and then went off about 5 min later about 2 days before it quit working. I love this car but disappointed that our transmission went out at 81,246 miles.”
