general problems of the 2007 GMC Acadia - part 2

2007 GMC Acadia all warning lights come on and sterring gets very hard to turn. This is third event since oct 2009 and the dealership has "fixed" it each time.

Water entering interior of the vehicle. Points of entry include: side air bag openings, foot emergency brake(which is located near vehicle electrical components) shoulder seat belt openings and through dvd screen. This is the second time my vehicle has been service for this complaint. The headliner was removed and repairs have been attempted. My concern are with the damage to air bag output in emergency due to water, electrical component damage such as dvd player and electrical component by emergency brake and also the moisture the interior of the vehicle has been exposed to for mold and mildew.

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. I think there is a structural defect that may not be able to be repaired and it presents a safety hazard for all who drive these vehicles. Please investigate this problem. Do not let GMC sweep this under the rug!.

I experienced water leaking and running down the inside of both of the front doors. In addition, the dash lights faded in and out intermittently, the clock loses time, the nav and radio screen blacks out, and the stability trak service light comes on. They "fixed" the water leak by extending the drain hoses on the sunroof. All of the electrical problems were found to be related to the leaks in the sunroof. On sept. 18the of the same year, I returned the vehicle to have a recall on the sunroof drains performed. I advised that I was still having the same electrical issues. A dimmer switch was ordered. On Feb. 20, 2012 I started my vehicle and heard a faint pinging noise like a dying smoke alarm emitting from the passenger dash area. I took it to a GMC center and was told that water had leaked behind the dash, causing corrosion and a short in the ip fuse box. I had to pay almost $1,000 to have the leak sealed (design flaw) and had to have a new electrical block installed. I called and complained to gm that I should not have to pay for damage that resulted from 1) a poor design and 2) damage that should not have happened since I had taken the vehicle in twice on prior leaks which were supposed to have been fixed. It has been three weeks and I am still getting the run around from gm. Now they claim it wasn't the sunroof leaking, but the door. A leak is a leak and it should have been checked on the prior service visits. Apparently the leaking has been going on for quite sometime. I see that others have had this same bad experience. Here we bailed out a company that won't back up its product.

Sunroof leaks in to electric system, thank god driving on side street, brakes locked up and was able to get to side of road. Dealer westboro GMC tried to fix leak x 4 but leak continues, brake stability problem,remote start, mold, car pulls to right when brakes applied, just to name a few of the electric problems caused by water running in to electric system. Dealer washed there hands of it. I now own a $40,000 lemon .
