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.

When it rains either heavily or for long periods in chicago my gmc tends to flood in the passenger floor and by the tv and 3rd row lights. I have had this issue since we bought the vehicle in 2013. I have had this car for 6 years and I have taken in to a dealership once and they quoted me close to $500 to do a test and let water rain on the car and see if it is a manufacture or owner faulty issue. I did not jump on top of my car and create a problem so that my car gets flooded or to cause this that I have to always place a towel and leave my windows open after so that it does not fog the entire car. I have 4 children and droplets have fallen on my 7 month old baby while I'm driving. No one can sit in the passenger side. I have had my car detailed in the past so the molding smell doesn't cause my kids to want to throw up. Airbags say service airbags when they hasn't opened and hasn't gotten into an accident in that car. It frighten me that I'm driving a unsafe car with 4 children. I cannot make a repair of that amount nor should I be responsible to have that tested out.

I had problems with the transmission when my vehicle had around 61,000 miles. Vehicle was not going over 25 MPH and sometime it did not run at all. I took it several times to the dealer, actually a town truck had to take it because it was very dangerous to drive it. It took a lot of time and effort for me to finally get my gmc acadia fixed. That was in 2015. Two years later I had problems with my transmission again, my gmc has now 104,000 miles. I went back to the gmc dealer where it was repaired before, but they told me that guarantee had ended 2 months ago and I had to pay $1,021 to get the transmission fixed. I'm also having problems with hood lift and the headlight swith is not working

The sunroof leaks and causes electrical problems. Suddenly while driving the power steering gears, rack, and bushings are defective causing the power steering to go out during low speeds. Tried having it replaced under the recall, however, 9 months later the same thing happened and nobody wants to fix it or allows for the dealer to replace it again. This is a major safety feature that should never be acceptable! Also, the transmission already had to be replaced and is going out again. The manufacture made a faulty vehicle and should be held accountable for these parts and the labor not to mention the inconvenience of having to fight with the dealer and gm to get the problem corrected.
