Filed Oct 1, 2020 · Driver assistance · 156,000 miles · IN

Driving on the freeway the check stability control warning flashes and the motor gets really loud. Cleaned the ground wires and the motor is no longer making the loud noise or jerking but not my seat heaters no longer work and now the battery light flashes but just 2 months ago I replaced the battery and alternator! All of this happens while driving!

2007 gmc acadia, service traction control and stabilitrack keeps popping up. It loses the power steering off and on if you drive it in the rain at any speed. Windows can not be controlled by drivers master buttons. Vehicle has 173000 miles on it. Purchased used from buckeye nissan. Noticed issues right away but their mechanic said there is nothing coming up when they hook up the diagnostics. No warranty when purchased used, this is my first vehicle purchase. I was able to drive the vehicle for a year then got the service traction control and stabilitrack reading and the vehicle would not go over 5 MPH. Still paying payments on the vehicle, I could not afford to take it to a mechanic so I purchased a cheap car from a friend and the acadia sat in my drive way for 2 years. After I paid it off I started to look into repairing it. I put a new battery in it after it sat for so long and it started right up and drove like there was never an issue. I have since replaced the torque converter. Still get engine light and traction control turns off and service stabilitrack reading but has not had it slow down to 5 MPH again. Now if I drive in the rain the power steering cuts in and out and is extremely dangerous as it happens at any speed. I have seen several reviews on this vehicle that say the same as mine. The worst part is that gm is aware of these issues but will not assist in repair if the vehicle has over a certain amount of miles on it.

Overdrive function faulty in transmission. During cold weather stability trac kicks in and will not regain power even though there is no bad road conditions (such as snow, ice, or rain) it seems to activate when the weather is cold. It barley moves inhibiting normal traffic flow which is very dangerous. Fixed moon roof leaks causing the electrical components to malfunction and rain water drips on passengers and thoroughly soaks the carpets leaving a mildew smell.

While driving at 55 MPH three warnings came on "reduced engine power" "service stabilitrak" and "traction control off" then, the speed began to decline and I could not go more than 35 MPH. Got the car to a safe place to stop and when I put in park a sputtering in the engine could be felt. I turned off and when I started it to bring it in for service it ran fine but check engine light was still on. A very similar incident occurred just over a year ago. Repair was to replace the throttle body. Also mention of the tps sensor on the throttle. I have not had the current issue fixed yet.

Within 24 hrs of buying the vehicle my exhaust system fell off going down the highway. All the lights but the check engine light works on the dashboard. When you stop or accelerate the driver's seat moves forward or backwards slightly. Traction control does not work after the second week of owning it. When receiving for loaner vehicles all of them did not have working engine lights.
