when accelerating onto the freeway, hit 55mph and the car just stopped going. it would not go into any gear, turned off car and it still wouldnt go into gear. AAA showed up said "oh, we see this in the acadia all the time" plugged something in under the dash, the check engine light went off and he said "there you go, now it'll work fine, just dont give it hard gas when getting up to speed" turns out the code was a tranny code that when he cleared it the tranny would then work. Its bad enough i have to deal with this leaking A/C unit, 3 cans a week, and that smell is terrible, i cant even get the car up to speed when entering the freeway traffic. please make gmc fix these issues, i know im not the only one with both issues. Thank you.

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.

Tamaka recall, my 2007 gmc acadia, lost power driving down the road. I was doing about 55 MPH and lost all acceleration and my car would not move above 20 MPH.. Thankfully I wasn't hurt but was scary bc other people were behind me and my car slowed down so fast! After further review this seems to be a huge issue with this vehicle, and to me seems like a huge safety hazard. I still have to have my car looked at but now the engine light is no longer on. I feel that this vehicle is very unsafe to drive when you could be driving down the freeway and lose power... Then when taken to the shop the car seems to be in good working order only until it does it again. This would be one thing if this was a one person case but this is a many person case! Thank you

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.
