general problems of the 2008 GMC Acadia

The contact owns a 2008 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that while driving approximately 15 mph, the steering wheel seized. The vehicle regained its steering function on its own a few moments later. The failure recurred on an intermittent basis. Also, the front passenger side window would not close when the button on the driver’s side door panel was depressed. The passenger side window would only close if the button on the passenger side door panel was used. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 72,000.

This is in regards to the window seal on the driver and passenger window. It holds water in the seal and has a very strong offensive mold/mildew odor. Each time you roll down either window the smell is so strong that your allergies are immediately affected. I don't think it is healthy to constantly smell mold when you're driving your vehicle. I took it to the dealer a couple of times and they agreed that it was horrible, but only suggested that I take an air hose and blow out the trapped water. That doesn't work because each time it rains or you wash your vehicle it smells again. I hate driving a newer vehicle that smells like a molded trash container. I would like a better solution for this never ending problem.

The side view mirror on the driver's side has not worked properly for at least six months. The dealer from whom the car was purchased has gone out or business and I took it to a dealer in delray beach, FL. On January 9th the dealer found the problem and ordered a new switch. It has not been received, to date. The dealer maintains that gm has the part on back order and can find none available anywhere in the u. S. This is clearly a safety hazard as the mirror cannot be adjusted to see on-coming traffic on the driver's side.
