Tl-the contact owns a 2008 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that when the vehicle was purchased used back in 08/2009 water was leaking onto the passanger side when the vehicle made turns. The contact went to the dealer j & j motor sales 6524 lake michigan dr, allendale, mi 49401 (616) 895-5184 and they could not find any leaks or diagnose the issue. The contact also checked on their own but could not find out the source of where the leak was coming from. Recently the water had been collecting underneath where the blower fan was located on the passanger side and caused it to short out. The contact almost had an accident from the window no being able to be deforsted in the morning. The manufacturer had not been contacted yet. The failure milage was 176,000. Tf.

I purchased a 2008 GMC Acadia and in the winter the wipers won't turn on, I live in eastern washington where we get a lot of snow and ice and I see your recall didn't include any part of wa state and I feel it should include eastern wa state. Our temps here get below 0 at times! I need my wipers to work all the time in this part of wa.

The contact owns a 2008 GMC Acadia. While driving various speeds and depressing the brake pedal to come to a stop, water poured down from the headliner and passenger side windshield. The failure recurred three times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the line to clear the air through needed to be blown out. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 94,000.

Wiper linkage failure at highway speed during rain. Original recall # 08091 work performed in 2008 by dealer, but linkage failed again 2015. Independent shop performed repair - but gm refuses to reimburse for known windshield linkage issue, even though recall covers this known defect.

Windshield wipers disconnected during heavy snow fall. This is a major safety issue.

I have been told a million times now that I have a headlight out. It's my daytime running light on the passenger side. So when we went to change the light bulb we noticed that it looked burnt so we cleaned it up and changed the bulb. A few weeks later the light did the same thing but would work once in a while. We took it apart again today to find the same thing that the harness was again burnt looking. This is an extremely common problems with the Acadias. I think it is gm's responsibility to fix it.

Wipers are inoperative. Linkage came off wiper motor. Brought to place of purchase and they said the part may have been recalled.

I was driving in heavy snow in virginia when my windshield wipers suddenly failed and I had 0 visibility. I almost got into accident because snow accumulated that quickly on the windshield. Until I found a safe place to stop and wait for help, I had my daughter get out of the car every time I stopped to manually clean the windshield with her hands. I was finally able to stop in a parking lot and waited for a friend to come pick me up. Recall 08091 that hundreds of GMC Acadia owners have complained about should apply to my vehicle.

While driving the car, I felt water drip from overhead and heard sloshing noises. Shortly thereafter, water began leaking from airbag indicia. Though the vehicle was turned off and key removed, the engine continued to run. Imagine how unsafe to turn off a vehicle, remove the key and the engine to remain running. Before I could get to service, the temperature plummeted to below zero, and I could not get the defroster to work. I scraped the interior of the windows, but without heat, fogged again. Zero visibility. The dealer said there were multiple points where water was seeping into the car, wreaking havoc with the electrical system, including hvac, defroster. Service tech said there was "blower mower" failure. After some research, I discovered my vehicle had same problems as GMC Acadia campaign 08207, with failure of sunroof part 25930220, which affected limited VIN numbers. We also discovered the airbags are not working from the water damage to the electrical system. The current status of this getting repaired is unknown -- obvious safety concerns! in addition, I had noticed floor mats being damp, but assumed a consequence of the snow and rain. I am convinced that the leak/damp floor mats is reason for the mildew/mold smell. Each of these problems are well documented in their tsbs. I was also shocked to find so many similar complaints! please, please review the correlation between tsbs electrical system failures and repairs to the leaking hose. Of course, GMC denies this is their problem, and says repairs will all be at my expense. Finally, I am not the first person to have this problem! surely, the fact that I (and many, many others) are having the exact leak problems as referenced in GMC campaign 08207 indicates that problem went beyond those VIN#s. They are hiding a big problem. Help!!.

Blower motor inoperative. Replaced 08/12/11 and 06/06/12. It has an intermittent problem at the moment. Living in the north in the winter time it is impossible to defrost the window if the blower motor doesn't work.

The contact owns a 2008 GMC Acadia. The contact received a recall notice and was informed by the dealer that the parts were unavailable for the repair. The dealer stated that they would call him once the parts arrived. On a separate occasion, one of the windshield wipers failed. The dealer repaired the wiper according to a recall; however, it still failed to operate. The failure has not been remedied. The NHTSA campaign id number was unknown. The failure and current mileages were 16,319.

I was taking my daughter to florida for cheer leading competition; I was just outside of illinois when the check airbag light and message screen came on thankfully the light went off but came back on on our way back to chicago and kept coming on and off. Took it to dealer but they only said that the harness was tight they only wiggled it and light went off but came back a couple of days later. Then the power steering started making noise dealer said they didn't hear anything and didn't do anything and noise is getting louder. Then suspension stared it making noise. Took it to dealer and had tie rods replaced. Then the service airbag problem came back and this time didn't go away. Took it to the dealer and they said that the harness was to tight and they rerouted it so it wasn't tight anymore. Worked for a couple of days and its on again but I didn't take it back and now is past its warranty. Then head lamp went out. Had to pay dealer $180 (rip off) next the other head light went out. My nephew replaced it in less than 10 min. Now there is a recall for that head light problem. Then wipers arm came loose from motor I had my cousin fix it for me. Now I have had the check engine light on for a couple of weeks took it to autozone came back with the code to replace the canister purge solenoid now I have the transmission problem, it started to act funny shifting pretty hard some times and then a few days ago I was driving on the freeway coming home when I notice the rpms at about 45000 and it wouldn't change gears and the fuel gauge started going nuts I don't know why and had to drive it home on the same gear. Took it to autozone and came back with the same code for the solenoid plus p0700/p0716/p0717 for the transmission. Now my Acadia is just sitting on my driveway no money to fix it and driving my 15 year old truck hoping GMC does something about this nightmare.
