During times of heavy rain or when driving through a car wash, water enters vehicle interior. Water can be heard moving around in headliner of rear while vehicle being driven. With vehicle in motion water can be seen leaking out of air bag label on driver side panel between windshield and door. Inspected drain tubes from sunroof and found them to be completely clogged. Upon clearing debris clogging the tubes an exessive amount of water came shooting out and tubes drained for about an hour a non stop stream. Approximately a week or so later, started having problems starting vehicle. Tested battery and it was fine. Tested alternator and starter, both fine. Two weeks later car wouldn't start again. Upon aaa arriving to jump my vehicle we discovered the entire battery compartment behind passenger seat was completely filled and battery submerged in water.

I own a 2008 GMC Acadia I have had it used since Jan 2015 I have had it in dealership almost every 3 months since I bought it. I was recently driving and had a fire in the passenger heated seat where my daughter was sitting and it burned a small hole in her jeans so far GMC is checking to see if its a defective equipment failure or not? in the mean time my sunroof has quit working and now my roof is leaking and my car smells like mold. The whole electrical system is going crazy with flashes of interior lights. I also had the vehicle stop on me in the middle of parking and found out the power steering pump needed to be replaced. They need to have a recall on these vehicles because our children ride with us and they are unsafe especially now that her jeans are burned and she has a small pink spot from the heated seat. The dealership told me today likely the seat wont be replaced and if its not I will be contacting me a lawyer. My children S safety come first. Hopefully the will also do a recall on the electrical equipment and the sunroof leaking because our vehicles are not safe after water gets onto all the electrical devices and shorts out and may cause a fire next.

This vehicle leaks through the sunroof and it goes all around the interior of the vehicle. Since it leaks inside I'm afraid it is going to reach the electrical components of the vehicle. It also leaks around where the battery is at an it can cause a shortage. Water also falls in through all the way to the carpet where the driver and passenger side, I don't know if the rear rows are affected. This makes the car have a ugly smell and sometimes I can't even breathe in my own car-- it smells extremely humid and horrible. The water that leaks in also leaves nasty marks around the interior roof of the car that really makes me feel depressed as soon as I open my door and see it. This problem really concerns me and I've also see multiple reviews of people with the same vehicle that have this problem. I can't drive my car in the rain or take it through the car wash without water leaking inside, and I hope one day it doesn't cause a fire in the electrical components.

Transmission wave plate issues....the car shifts into different gears and about caused an accident. Took it to a mechanic and it is a transmission wave plate that needs replaced. Going to cost us around $4000. Just spent 1000 dollars to fix the power seats that quit working also.

I purchased a new 2008 GMC Acadia in Sept. Of 2007 and I have had several problems with is sense buying. The biggest problem is my second row of seating it has a 60/40 split and the 60 portion pops up all the time even when an adult is sitting on it. I have taken to two different GMC dealerships 7 times and no one can find anything wrong. I even contacted GM's main office and they said they can not do anything until the service dept. Finds a problem. Their only suggestion was to take it to a third dealer and see if they can find what's wrong. I feel that is a very unfair to me because that just means I have to drive further to find a dealer and waste more time on something that should have been fixed a year and a half ago. I have 3 kids and they can not even sit on that seat because you never know when its going to catapult them up and into the back of the drivers seat. We can't even put our youngest carseat in the seat. This has just been very upsetting and I am tired of dealing with GM and the salesperson I bought the car from is the one who suggested I contact you. Again we bought this car brand new. The other things that are wrong is I still have water leaking in the top of the drivers window when it's sitting during a hard rain, , my fan motor for the A/C and heat goes up and down all by it's self and paint is peeling off the hood. These are things I guess I can deal with but the seat has got to get corrected. I hope you can help, thank you and look forward to hearing from someone.
