Is your vehicle AWD or FWD?
Thanks,
help track down a source.
Anybody else have this issue and have any recommendations?
So far, no other problems.
I also have the FWD, and just spent $800.00 on off road tires because it wont make it up the smallest of dirt hills and does not go through any amount of snow or mud without getting stuck. This is not like a FWD Honda, and tires did not help.
I have had full size 4WD SUV's for years and thought this mid sized car might be a nice change. The gas mileage is only slightly better and my kids hate sitting in it. I already mentioned the traction issues. This is not an SUV, and this is the last GMC I will ever own. I'm sure I'm going to take a huge hit from looking at all of your comments posted here, but when they finished with it this time, I am getting a used Sequoia.
I would be extremely careful before looking at the GMC Acadia, Chevy Traverse, Saturn Outlook, or Buick Enclave they are all the same vehicle.
Has anyone else heard of this type of problem?
*Too many water leaks to count
*Getting about 10 mpg
*Dashboard has come apart in three places after being replaced twice
*Drivers seat has come apart from seat base
*Ambient temp reads 118 degrees most days
*XM radio goes to preview channel at startup
*Drivers side mirror will not hold its position
*Third row seatbelt will not snap into holder
find anything wrong. The car has been in the shop at total of 38 days. The ignition had to be replace early on and the check engine light has been a recuring problem. any one else
have the stalling problem? Any Transmission problems? I agree with mikekris, this is a real safety issue.
When I went to have the oil changed at 52000 miles, the GMC dealer noticed that I had a transmission oil leak and I was down quite a bit on the fluid. The concern for owners is that this leak is by the torque converter and the leak only happens at speed, meaning you will not find a drip in the driveway so I was totally unaware of the problem. I was fortunate that I am religious about changing the oil since the next trip that week would have done my transmission in. The seals were replaced under warranty. If you are at 50K miles, and low on transmission fluid, this is what is going on and the Dealers are aware of this problem
-Axel Seals @ 20,000km
-A/C drain keeps plugging resulting in water flowing around in vents
-Power Windows died
-Front fan died, likely due to the water/condensation running around in there
-Getting set (waiting for part) for GM to take the engine out for the third time in 57,000kms. This time is the cam chain/timing chain issue. Other time were for various sensors.
-Check engine light comes on every 5 days or so.
Long story short, piece of garbage. Thank God it's a lease. 7 more months and they can have it back. I pity the poor guy/gal that they sell it to used.
