The air bags light came on with no reason truck never being in a crash, the abs and the off road light is on too, the break lights are on while you don't step on the pedal and they go off when you step on it...

The headlights don't work even after replacing. It rains in the vehicle from the sunroof. The gas tank isn't registering even after fixing it. So the engine doesn't know how much to put out etc etc and it makes the car jerk horribly. This vehicle is a fire hazard due to raining inside on everything upfront. I have kids I pray nothing happens!!

Vehicle has a sunroof drainage issue. Water leaks in through the corners of the sunroof and spills into the dashboard and under the carpeting. The vehicle has suffered electrical damage, corrosion, and mold because of the sunroof drainage issue. I have seen forums with hundreds of other owners who have suffered the same exact sunroof drainage problem with their 2007-2008 GMC Acadias. GMC says my vehicle is not listed in the recall, but I find that laughable. There are way too many Acadia owners that have this exact issue for it not to be a problem with all Acadias.

There is water that comes down into the wiring harness of all of the doors. I am able to take the wiring harnesses off and tons of water dumps out. This has corroded many of the electrical components. The corrosion has led to locks windows mirrors and speakers not working. Please recall this.....

My passenger airbag light has been on since I got the car in March of 2020. I have just replaced my low beam headlights October of 2020 and now the driver side lights doesn't work. On the dashboard the light that's suppose to show when your bright's are on, doesn't come on anymore and I was in motion when I realized they had stopped working.

Bought this vehicle used, was fine and was a great car for months until the battery would not keep a charge. Took it to auto zone they tested my battery and alternator all was good they charged up my battery for me. The battery lasted two days next time I went to start it it was dead. Would have to drive it every day to keep a charge on it. Eventually went and bought a brand new battery. Only after a few days the battery was dead again. On a brand new battery it would need to be drove everyday to keep a charge. It's to the point where I will have to jump it to drive it and then it wont even keep a charge for a hour. Brand new battery. Nothing wrong with the alternator. No lights, etc. Being left on. Not sure what to do with it. Need my car.

The radio randomly stopped working a few weeks ago and the signal light you can't hear. No beeps at all are being heard since the radio stopped working. It turns on but you can't hear anything. You also can't hear any of the sensors if they light up on the dash.

This vehicle will all of a sudden start swaying from side to side and the stabilitrak light will come on. In addition, the transmission will suddenly seize up, losing acceleration and nearly causing a crash. The engine will also state that it is overheating, all of a sudden and the vehicle will shut itself off and smoke will start coming from the engine. This has happened while going between 35 and 65 mph. On the streets and highways. My children in the bucket seats in the back were sleep and their heads hit the window. They sustained injury. That was on a regular street and the speed limit was 35 mph. I was within or slightly under the speed limit when the vehicle started swaying unexpectedly. When the road is wet, it will sway from side to side on simple curves in the road. I have had the transmission replaced twice. Due to the safety concerns and fear of my family being fatally injured, it was around christmas time. I have had to park the vehicle. I have contacted GMC by phone several times with no response in return. I spoke with someone and was informed to report it to NHTSA. Maybe something can be done about this before a death occurs.

Stability track warning light keeps coming on I was told by my mechanic that it could be the sensor so I had it replaced with a factory brand GMC sensor and I'm still having the same problem. Also my passenger side air bag keeps saying it needs to be serviced but it's never been deployed and no one has an answer for why this warning keeps coming up the stability track warning comes on as I'm driving every time after about 10 to 15 minutes and the passenger side air bag warning comes on as soon as I start the vehicle engine. And also I have a problem with code P0700 it keeps turning on my check engine light and I had it fixed but it still keeps turning on. Rattling noise in idle

Even though I have been told the recall on the liftgate was performed the liftgate still closes on its own and has hit me and others multiple times in the head.
