GMC please take accountability for the sunroof leak issue! years of data, almost 100 complaints, someone should already know about this and have a solution! my car has serious leaking issues from the sunroof above the driver, electrical to cabin doesn't always work except dash lights, and headlights/turn signals work sporadically. The locks work when they're in the mood. Also means ac/heat works sometimes..I live up North and it's 24 today. My windshield wiper fluid remains empty because it randomly turns on and drains out: Which also means replacing my wipers is a bad idea because they randomly turn on for at most an hour and dry wiping the window...and destroying the wiper blades. All wheel drive won't work, despite mechanic seeing no issues. I've taken down the mounts and tried to flush the draining tubes myself..and they're clear with no leaks when I tested the tubes. I don't know what to do. I wish I could afford to fix this, because we need this vehicle; everyday I'm scared to drive it! we won't drive at night for the risk of the headlights shutting off, and always fingers crossed my turn signals will function today. I have kids! my families not rich, we can't afford another vehicle or the costly repair, being that I'm a single mom barely buying bread and paying rent as it is since my hours got cut from covid. I only wanted a safe vehicle, I didn't realize I had to be specific and ask for one with headlights and electronics working appropriately, too. I'll be sure to next time I buy a car...whenever that lucky day occurs. Please pray for us.

Corroded fuse block causes the SUV to not start periodically and requires several attempts before starting. I researched and this is a common problem with windshield and sunroof drains. Very expensive for owner to bare costs to repair.

Vehicle was at idle for 10 minutes before putting it in to drive on the evening of 3/3/2018. Began driving the vehicle and the stability/traction control light immediately came and began to shake violently on acceleration. All the dash lights began to flicker and then all electrical eventually died within 30 seconds of putting the vehicle in to drive. Once the car was safely pulled over, I noticed smoke coming from under the hood that had the smell of plastic or burnt wires. I popped the hood and the smoke was coming from the fuse box area. Thankfully the car didn't catch on fire. Some history on this vehicle; it was brought in to our local GMC dealership around September 2016 with stability trac control issues which was causing the car to hesitate roughly at idle and acceleration. After investigating, the dealer found that it was a loose wire on the bottom of the fuse box that was causing the problem; which they fixed and the problem never came back until the evening of our incident when the stc light came on; followed by the electrical failure throughout the entire vehicle... I'll put my money on that fuse box again as being the culprit. Aaa (battery systems technician) came out this morning to take a look at it and when he tried to run tests on the battery but the GMC was back feeding power in to his cables and melted them and the connector on his truck. He said that he thinks that it's the fuse box (without knowing history) but has never seen anything like this and suggested that we take it to a shop. It doesn't look like there are any recalls relating to this so this will be out of pocket to keep my family safe. Car will be headed to the shop soon but dreading the thought of that bill I don't feel we should have to pay on seeing is that this is a big safety issue.

The contact owns a 2007 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was applied numerous times. In addition, the transmission failed to function properly when shifting and various warning indicators illuminated. Within a week of owning the vehicle, it was taken to the dealer (shoreline auto group Inc, 2275 N state rd, ionia, mi 48846, (616) 523-6882). The dealer kept the vehicle for over a month due to no sound for the turn signals, various warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel, and the vehicle was slow to pick up speed. The dealer was unable to replicate and diagnose the failure for over a month. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for further diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified of the failures months later to determine if they may be able to provide a solution to repair the vehicle. The approximate failure mileage was 14,000.

The Acadia had a recall on the sunroof for leaking large amounts of water into the interior of the vehicle during inclement weather. My Acadia had this problem and water leaked into the front passenger side of the vehicle down the frame adjacent to the door and window through the passenger side dash into the floor area. There is a fuse box located in this area as well as a very large electrical connector that connects two portions of the wiring harness. The exposure of this component to water has resulted in corrosion occurring with this connector. This is a major connector affecting multiple systems of the vehicle. The system giving me the largest cause for concern is the door locks. On a daily basis the locks won't respond to the lock/unlock button on any of the doors not will I respond to the lock/unlock button on the key remote. This poses a significant egress danger as the only way to unlock any of the doors is to manually put up the lock. This is for every door, all four of them. I have an infant in the back seat of the vehicle and in an emergency situation it would require me to literally crawl from the front driver seat to the rear seat, manually unlock the door and then attempt to exit the vehicle. This electrical connector as the fault due to corrosion from water has been occurring not just to me, it has been occurring to many owners that suffered from leaking roofs on their brand new vehicles. I feel that GMC needs to step up and acknowledge the safety hazard they created and should be held responsible. By the NHTSA if they will not do it themselves.
