I noticed that when driving on an expressway and would attempt to pass a slower moving vehicle, as I would move into the passing lane and attempt to accelerate, the car would hesitate for a few seconds, lose speed, then suddenly downshift and accelerate at an unexpected rate. I also noticed that the car would unexpectedly accelerate or decelerate under normal driving conditions. I bought the vehicle to the dealer for repair, they responded that they could find nothing wrong, but the what I was experiencing was characteristic of the 6-speed transmission on the vehicle. The problem continued and I found it dangerous. I returned the vehicle and the dealer's remedy was to "reset the transmission computer. " during this time, I also noticed that the "service stabilitrac and traction control" warning would come on. It dosen't matter if your driving or idle or in park these warnings and problems still exist. The dealer fixed one wheel sensor but the problem still occurs. The service airbag warning lights still comes on there was a recall for that I had it fixed but warning still comes on. This vehicle has had so many recalls automatic lift gate, air bag warnings, power steering pump and hose. The rack & pinion will need to be replaced in the vehicles short life span, all of the suspension parts bushings will have to be replaced at some point so this means control arm, sway bar sway, sway bar links toe links of course with these issues you will have to replace struts and shocks, etc. . . How can government/general motors sell a vehicle this expensive and have so many problems these vehicles are unsafe to drive something needs to be done about this before someone gets seriously hurt. My 08 GMC Acadia is pure garbage someone needs to be held accountable because these vehicles have major mechanical and electrical issues, recalls and are unsafe to be driving.

I own a 2007 Acadia I've had this for the past 3 1/2 years when I bought it the dealer had to put struts in the front because they were bad. Since then it started to sway all over the road, you actually get sick in the back seat, I've brought it back numerous times to get recalls done and have recieved quotes to replace and try parts to see if it will stop it from swaying costing almost $4000 and it still does the same thing. I've recently brought it back to the dealer because of the same issues and now they're replacing the struts for the 4th time and telling me I need another $4000 worth of work done to include sway bar, control arms, well pretty much the whole stabilization and suspension system. Which I'm guessing should of been done 3 years ago when this all started. How do I get the dealer to go good on this.
