Check Engine Light On problems of the 2007 GMC Acadia

While driving at 55 mph three warnings came on "reduced engine power" "service stabilitrak" and "traction control off" then, the speed began to decline and I could not go more than 35 mph. Got the car to a safe place to stop and when I put in park a sputtering in the engine could be felt. I turned off and when I started it to bring it in for service it ran fine but check engine light was still on. A very similar incident occurred just over a year ago. Repair was to replace the throttle body. Also mention of the tps sensor on the throttle. I have not had the current issue fixed yet.

After taking my vehicle to phil moore Buick GMC on 10/16/2014 and paying $1341. 10 for repairs after a check engine light indicator, the check engine light came on again on 10/20/2014 and caused the vehicle to slow from 60 miles per hour to 20 miles per hour on the highway. When the vehicle was returned to the dealership on10/21/2015, I was told there were additional repairs needed on the engine at an estimated cost of $2789. 18. Because repairs had just been completed on the same area 5 days earlier, I called the gm corporation and I was informed that repairs to the engine should have been covered under a recall and the dealership should have noticed the recall at the time of service.

On my way home from work, in the middle of tunnel truck turn on check engine light, in panel " reduced engine power" and reduced the velocity by itself to 10mph. I turn it off and on again , started running but in less than 1 minute running, did the same problem.

When beginning to drive our vehicle from church the check engine light came on and vehicle would not downshift, and speed would not get above 30 mph. When brought to the dealership the following day, we were told we would need a new transmission. The vehicle only has 50k and should not have had this issue, and it is a transmission safety issue. Had we been on a busy highway and this incident occurred, a major accident could have taken place. Other sites have listed numerous complaints about the same transmission problem occurring in various Acadia's as well. A recall should have been issued and gm should pay for the full repair as it is over $4,000.

Car shut down while I was driving. After awhile it started back up but it would only go on first gear so I could go more than 20mph. Then when I went home, the check engine light came on and the reverse did not work. I have read alot of complaints about the same problem with 2007 Acadias. I hope these cars get recalled because some people might not be as lucky as I was were there weren't any cars around or in the interstate.

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.

I was driving home from work around 5:05pm on the 5 north freeway going about 65 mph. All of a sudden my check engine light went on and I felt a sudden loss of power in my acceleration. As I stepped on the gas more to keep up with the flow of traffic, the rpm needle jumped up to between 4 and 6 on my gauge, but my vehicle wasn't going any faster so I had to steer to the right to get to the exit. I was barely able to exit without almost getting rear ended but I had no choice as my vehicle would not go over 40mph. After getting it checked at the nearest shop, I was told that it was a stuck solenoid. After I got that fixed, 4 months later, same problem, but now the dealership is telling me they will have to rebuild my transmission due to a broken wave plate, which will cost me at least $2800, which I don't have.

I was driving to the store, going down hill on the right side of the road. Mid-way down a message appeared on the computer saying "engine failure, power off" and the car just shut down with out warning. No matter how hard I pressed on the gas the car was shut off. The steering went out as well and I had to stand in the seat to use all my power to turn the wheel. Previous to this, the check engine light had not been on, no advance warning of this. I had both of my children in the car at the time. Luckily there was a bp gas station with garage at the bottom of the hill, I was able to coast the car into the gas station where they ran diagnostic testing and repaired my car and reset the sensors. Nine months later I was driving with both of my children again, in north east washington DC when out of no where the same message appeared. I was able to pull the car over to the side of the road and restart the engine one time. I turned around to go home and on the drive home the same thing happened on a less of an incline of a hill. The car shut down completely towards the top of the hill going down. Same as before, no gas and no steering ability. I was too scared to leave the car on the side as cars coming over the hill would not have time to stop before hitting us. I put the car in neutral and tried to glide down the hill to the shell station. The car cut out completely and lost all momentum so I had to push the car into the gas station and wait 3 hours for the tow truck to arrive. It went back to the bp station from February and had a new battery and several other items replaced. I bought this car new in 2007 and have had countless breakdowns and replacements- two transmissions within the first 3 years and repairs. I keep up with car maintenance regularly and do no neglect anything.

Check engine light / stabilitrak warning light leading to discovery the engine cylinder head and valves were damaged and needed to be replaced. Total repair took 33 days. Apparently this is an ongoing problem with this gm engine. Numerous internet sites state improperly manufactured camshaft components are the possible cause. My camshafts were not replaced, but I do suspect they were probably the cause based on present information available to me.

My first 2007 awd Acadia broke down after owning it for 20 minutes check engine light came on and it wouldn't move. Spent more time in the garage. When I got it back a week later it started to shut off while I was driving it but it only did it when I was stopped and made right turns on main roads. The car would shut off while driving but it would restart again. Got a replacement car had to pay 2,000 more for it and the replacement Acadia is doing the same thing. Its a death trap we could get killed pulling on a highway and the car shuts off and when they hook it up to diagnostic machine it says nothing shows up. It has been in for the software upgrades and a week later its shutting off again and has alot of hesitation. I have had it with GMC I just want my money back they lost my trust I should of stayed with my Jeep liberty which was a great vehicle with no problems.
