2007 GMC Acadia lights problems

Filed Nov 7, 2017 · Body, Lights · 61,000 miles · CA

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

Both daytime running lights have melted the bulb sockets and the bulb housing. The sockets have melted so bad that you cannot remove the bulb and the housing has melted so bad that the housing will no longer hold the bulb in place. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that you cannot turn the lights either on or off because the dial defaults to automatic which will use the daytime running lights automatically unless you physically turn them off each time you turn the car off. This set of circumstances causes a serious fire hazard! This issue needs to be resolved immediately. The photo without a bulb is the left daytime running light housing and the photo of the bulb goes in that housing. The photos with the bulb still in the housing are of the right running light. The housing is completely melted and a substance has melted out of the socket and into the housing. I fear that these circumstances with cause a first and jeopardize the safety of me, my wife and my children.

Recently I noticed one of my daytime running lights was not working so when I scheduled my vehicle for service I asked the gm dealer to replace the light. Upon their investigation the dealer reported that the headlight wires had fused or melted together and that it would an estimated $800 to fix! They also mentioned the other lamp was starting to have the same issue and its only a matter of time. I was more concerned that the wires lamp/light wires were "fused" together and shorting out! This seams to be more of a safety issue with the risk of fire or loss of both headlights! Furthermore, it is outrageous for a replacement of a daytime running light to be $800 dollars! Can the federal safety agency please investigate and help resolve this safety hazard and poor product performance and look at the risk analysis that was performed?

1-heated washer removed, catalyst converter replaced, timing chain issue, fuel pump, head lights all replace due to defect and now @ 89,500 I have a major transmission issue a po752 code has been noted and the car is 5.5 years old and believe this is a defect gmc is aware of and failed to fix, even sugggested by amaaco the TCM may even need replacing. Feel like this car has been one defect after another which LED to other defects happening and premature wear and tear on other parts.

No recall for defective transmissions? Bought 2007 acadiar used, 2600 miles /felt transmission problems early on. Very noticeable jerk at 40mph. In and out of dealership since. Last few months car has been in to dealer frequently re car bucking at stop lights really rough thought engine going to die. Every time nothing showed in codes, emergency trip to doctor/heavy traffic main artery/can't get over 20mph/engine screaming/ make it to dr. (omg) towed to dealership. Transmission gone. I could have had a serious accident. Finally heard something about a wave plate. For 5 yrs I've said something wrong. No one said these were constant problems with acadias. They issued recalls for a leak in the sun roof. No recall for defective transmissions? Known defective wave plates? I have extended warranty, but many don't. Warranty or not, this safety hazard should be fixed by gmc at their expense. A recall is mandated. Just ask the owners. . .

Low beam headlights go out. I've also taken the vehicle in many times for noise in the steering column. Eventually, I lose my power steering. Everytime, they tell me there is a leak or steering gear problem and it has been repaired but it continues to happen. Im taking it in for the 4th or 5th time now to repair the squeak in the steering. This vehicle is 5 years old and its been in the shop more than any other car that I have owned.
