general problems of the 2007 GMC Acadia

Both daytime running lights have melted the bulb sockets and the bulb housing. The sockets have melted so bad that you cannot remove the bulb and the housing has melted so bad that the housing will no longer hold the bulb in place. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that you cannot turn the lights either on or off because the dial defaults to automatic which will use the daytime running lights automatically unless you physically turn them off each time you turn the car off. This set of circumstances causes a serious fire hazard! this issue needs to be resolved immediately. The photo without a bulb is the left daytime running light housing and the photo of the bulb goes in that housing. The photos with the bulb still in the housing are of the right running light. The housing is completely melted and a substance has melted out of the socket and into the housing. I fear that these circumstances with cause a first and jeopardize the safety of me, my wife and my children.

Left front headlamp inoperative. Requires $1200. In repairs. Vehicle unable to be driven at night. This is the most recent issue. Since buying the vehicle new. We have had major engine failure. Transmission failure. Water leaks from moon roof. Which effected the emergency brake monitor system. Recalled washer system . The issue with the headlamp is a defect in design. Though there is a recall for non hid. The wiring on the hid systems is having the same issues. Gm refused to repair the vehicle. Even though it a known defect. I am a master automotive technician and have been for 26 years. I will provide expert testimony along with the cause of defect. This is a safety concern from 2 aspects fire and safely driving the vehicle.

No recall for defective transmissions? bought 2007 Acadiar used, 2600 miles /felt transmission problems early on. Very noticeable jerk at 40mph. In and out of dealership since. Last few months car has been in to dealer frequently re car bucking at stop lights really rough thought engine going to die. Every time nothing showed in codes, emergency trip to doctor/heavy traffic main artery/can't get over 20mph/engine screaming/ make it to dr. (omg) towed to dealership. Transmission gone. I could have had a serious accident. Finally heard something about a wave plate. For 5 yrs I've said something wrong. No one said these were constant problems with Acadias. They issued recalls for a leak in the sun roof. No recall for defective transmissions? known defective wave plates? I have extended warranty, but many don't. Warranty or not, this safety hazard should be fixed by GMC at their expense. A recall is mandated. Just ask the owners. . .

The contact owns a 2007 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that the daytime running lights were continuously burning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the bulb was overheating causing the housing to melt on both the passenger and driver side. As a result, the head light assembly needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 32,000 and the current mileage was 45,600.

My passenger side head light went out on my 2007 GMC Acadia. I took it to the dealer it is not under warranty any longer it has 45,000 miles on it. This will be the 3rd time ive needed my head lights to be replaced and they tell me that the harness is melted. From reading online I seem to not be the only one with this same issue. The dealer told me they will have to let me know how much it will cost to replace.

Low beam wire harness melted with a risk of fire due to wrong wattage bulb according to gm dealership. Circuit protection was inadequate to prevent such a common failure mode. Harness has not yet been replaced.
