Transmission keeps slipping and sliding out of gear (it work sometime smoothly )especially when I'm driving.
Transmission failure. We were driving out of town on an interstate highway approximately 65 mph and engine suddenly revved indicating that the transmission was disengaged. Could not accelerate and had to coast to the side of the road in a construction zone. There was no warning of the impending failure other than some transmission slippage earlier in the trip. Transmission did not work at all in drive or reverse. Had to be towed to an out of town shop and rent a car to get back home. Repair shop stated that transmission had failed and needed to be replaced (approx. $4,500) and that it was a common problem. Shocking that it failed at such low mileage. We were advise by our local repair shop to contact gm but they have not contacted us back. We have no choice but to get the repairs done so we have the vehicle back. I just wanted to include our incident along with the many other complaints. We will warn other Acadia owners who we know of the problem (acadias are common where we live) and the many other problems that it has (based on the numerous other complaints and service bulletins).
Driving on highway on labor day. Suddenly my GMC Acadia transmission starts slipping and I am in heavy traffic. My vehicle starts slowing down and I have no control of speed. Lucky for me and my son I was able to maneuver my car to the side of the road without creating an accident. I look online to find that this is a common problem for many cars with this transmission. Why is this not a recall??.
Was passing a slower moving vehicle when transmission started slipping severely. Pulled into parking lot and then vehicle wouldn't move at first. A couple of the gears seemed to slip in drive and reverse had a shutter. Took it to a gm dealer and they said its a wave plate in the transmission that is messed up.
The transmission started slipping when I merged onto the highway. The engine rpm would spike to 4,000 or 5,000 even though the car was not accelerating. I drove the car right to the dealership which was only a mile away. The dealership later called back and stated that I need a new transmission. This is for a car with only 55,000 miles on it! these cars seem to have a common premature failure with a wave plate that is internal to the transmission. I had no choice but to purchase a new transmission.
I have a 2007 GMC Acadia the transmission is slipping. The dealer told me is a valve body inside transmission, need to replaced whole transmission don't have warranty so the amount is 2600. 00 just the transmission no labor. Now I was reading and there's many cases like this they are saying the parts they used to build trans are made in china that's why there slipping and having trouble with it. Need u guys to check on this power train problem before some one gets hurt while driving it is dangerous. My wife was driving with my boys inside every single one of them got scared and say that they don't like this truck no more thank you.
10/27/2014 - 2007 GMC Acadia transmission slips continually until it had a complete failure at 111,000. I called gm and opened claim. Google Acadia transmission problems, why has this transmission not been recalled? gm failed to harden these wave plates in the 2007 & 2008 GMC Acadia . There are documented failures out there as soon as 25,000 miles. This transmission is such a piece of junk. The local transmission shop works on this transmission more than any other. Please help us the bill for transmittion to be fixed is almost $4500.
2007 GMC Acadia transmission slips continually until it had a complete failure at 127,000 needing 2,3,5 and reverse wave plates. Google Acadia transmission problems, why has this transmission not been recalled? gm failed to harden these wave plates in the 2007 & 2008 GMC Acadia along with the clone cars in the gm line up. There are documented failures out there as soon as 25,000 miles. This transmission is such a piece of junk. The local transmission shop works on this transmission more than any other. Did the NHTSA stop holding gm accountable for gross negligence after the bailout? I guess the only recourse is to take matters into our own hands like Mini cooper drivers and become part of a class action lawsuit.
