The car was parked and off when the lift gate malfunctioned. Opened the liftgate using the button on the gate, it opened fully paused open, then suddenly dropped 1/3 of the way closed on top of my husband, it opened again and then closed quickly on it's own. It repeated the same action again when we tried opening. After we turned off the power liftgate using the button in the dash we could open the life however we had to hold the gate up, it would slam down if we let go of the gate. The life gate struts were found to be leaking and repaired. It is the exact same problem as found in the recalled 2010-2012 Acadias.
Passenger side carpeting and foam are soaked from a leakage somewhere. The fuse panel under glove box is soaked and not working correctly. Water is almost making its way into battery under passenger side rear floor. Rust has formed under the shifting console. Car is moldy. No one can tell me what is happening but thousands of complaints online regarding GMC Acadia all have this problem. My vehicle is useless 20,000 in the driveway and cannot drive. Not to mention me and my kids have been driving in mold for who knows how long. GMC needs to fix this issue before they have a class action lawsuit on their hands.
