Our 2007 gmc acadia began slipping and stutter stepping in reverse. If on a hill it was very noticeable and felt like you were slipping on ice before reverse gear would engage. Then on slow acceleration form a traffic light slippage would occur and a rough change in the gear exchange for normal traffic speed. Had it diagnosed at a reputable local repair shop and they said it was a warped wave plate and a new or rebuilt transmission was required, the repair cost with warranty would be 4,225.00. We took it to the dealer where we purchased the acadia. They also diagnosed it as a defective wave plate, recommending a new transmission or at least to rebuild it. New transmission to cost 5,890.00 the wave plate on the 2007 acadia'shave caused a great many problems for other owners and its reported they were not properly heat treated when manufactured. They break apart after just so many engages caused when shifting and almost always shortly after the 50,000 mile warranty. Filed a complaint with gm requesting assistance with repairs due to a faulty part they should have been aware of. They said they would get back to me, but never did. We repaired it at the local repair shop costing 4,225.23 cents with a 5 year 100,000 mile warranty.

10/27/2014 - 2007 gmc acadia transmission slips continually until it had a complete failure at 111,000. I called gm and opened claim. Google acadia transmission problems, why has this transmission not been recalled? Gm failed to harden these wave plates in the 2007 & 2008 gmc acadia . There are documented failures out there as soon as 25,000 miles. This transmission is such a piece of junk. The local transmission shop works on this transmission more than any other. Please help us the bill for transmittion to be fixed is almost $4500

2007 gmc acadia transmission slips continually until it had a complete failure at 127,000 needing 2,3,5 and reverse wave plates. Google acadia transmission problems, why has this transmission not been recalled? Gm failed to harden these wave plates in the 2007 & 2008 gmc acadia along with the clone cars in the gm line up. There are documented failures out there as soon as 25,000 miles. This transmission is such a piece of junk. The local transmission shop works on this transmission more than any other. Did the federal safety agency stop holding gm accountable for gross negligence after the bailout? I guess the only recourse is to take matters into our own hands like mini cooper drivers and become part of a class action lawsuit.

Transmission failure. We were driving out of town on an interstate highway approximately 65 MPH and engine suddenly revved indicating that the transmission was disengaged. Could not accelerate and had to coast to the side of the road in a construction zone. There was no warning of the impending failure other than some transmission slippage earlier in the trip. Transmission did not work at all in drive or reverse. Had to be towed to an out of town shop and rent a car to get back home. Repair shop stated that transmission had failed and needed to be replaced (approx. $4,500) and that it was a common problem. Shocking that it failed at such low mileage. We were advise by our local repair shop to contact gm but they have not contacted us back. We have no choice but to get the repairs done so we have the vehicle back. I just wanted to include our incident along with the many other complaints. We will warn other acadia owners who we know of the problem (acadias are common where we live) and the many other problems that it has (based on the numerous other complaints and service bulletins).

Driving on highway on labor day. Suddenly my gmc acadia transmission starts slipping and I am in heavy traffic. My vehicle starts slowing down and I have no control of speed. Lucky for me and my son I was able to maneuver my car to the side of the road without creating an accident. I look online to find that this is a common problem for many cars with this transmission. Why is this not a recall??

Transmission slipping jerks and bumps when shifting. Passengers noted there was issues also. Loses power going up hills. Took it to cochran pontiac for two years and did not correct situation, since there were no codes on the computer even though the car had no power and was jerking. Engine light, antilock braking, no rear sensors, and the fuel gauge lights are now on after another dealer fixed transmission and I had to pay $1,500 and I should have not paid anything. I did not have these lights on my dash board when I went to get the transmission fixed and the dealer has not fixed them. Recently, my car lost power and died on a blind dangerous curve and shut down the engine. I was afraid to get hit and felt my car was unsafe. We put gas in and would not start and engine was hot. I had to have it towed to dealer after two weeks from getting the transmission repaired and told dealer transmission has noises in it and engine was hot and car would not start. They called and said it was out of gas and runs now, however, they did not address the issues noted above for all of the lights that were on the dash board. The gas was not the issue before car was towed since we put gas in there when it broke down. This 2007 acadia has had issues since 2011 that continue to present and this SUV is known to have many recalls and is unsafe. The car was taken to the dealer numerous times with complaints by the customer.

I have a 2007 gmc acadia. I have had to have multiple work don on the transmission and yesterday it slipped out of gear while driving. I tried to accelerate and the engine revved and the rpms went high but the transmission would not shift. Had I been on the highway at a high speed this could have been the cause of a serious accident. I took it to my dealer and they said the transmission control module had went bad and it cost me $1400.00...at 83,00 miles???? I think gmc should take responsibility for the terrible workmanship of their transmissions in the 2007 acadia.
