Wipers quit working at 40mph in a freezing fog/rain. I lifted hood and could see wiper linkage dangling inside cowl of vehicle. I have read and seen that this is a open recall for vehicle in states with common winter weather.
2007 GMC Acadia visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 27 of 27, newest first, as owners wrote them.
We were driving and smelled a burning smell coming from the drivers door. The drivers side windows switch, door lock switch would not work. We took it to our mechanic and he determined that the drivers side switch had burned up and melted to the door wiring harness. The switch and harness both had to be replaced.
I have had several problems with this vehicle. The washer fluid light is always on, no matter how many times I have taken it for repair the power steering went out 8 months after the vehicle three months later at this present time. After having the vehicle for not even a year, the transmission has given out beyond repair. I have gotten several different people to look at it, its beyond repair (rebuild). I have done a lot of research and found that many people have had the same problems I really hope this helps, I don't think the customers should be responsible for the repair of this constant problem.

2007 gmc acadia. Consumer expresses discontent in regards to several repairs and malfunctions with the vehicle *tgw the heater core leaked, the check engine light illuminated due to a faulty tuning valve, the auxiliary A/C evaportor was leaking and had to e replaced, the water pump, engine mount, and torque converter all had to be replaced, as well as the master cylinder which was leaking. Also, the ABS light and stabiltrak lights illuminated.
Front and rear wiper and spray control working backwards. The front control switch activates the front wipers and rear spray and the rear control switch operates the rear wipers and front spray. This appears to have occurred after service recall for heating and snow/ice issues as it worked properly before the service.
Took 2007 gmc acadia in because AC blower motor was not working. When AC was turned on it would make a loud noise and couldn't get air to flow. They determined that the blower motor went out due to water leaking in though the side and front body panels. Since the 36,000 bumper to bumper warranty is up this leak is no longer covered. We have the extended warranty, but because the motor went out due to a water leak the blower motor is not covered. So we have to pay out of pocket for something that is clearly defective to begin with. I have also had water leak in through the inside airbag square, I hope that this inflates if I need them.

Recall on my gmc 2007 acadia for leaking sunroof. Recall work done on 09/24/08. Replaced "faulty drain tubes" recall #08207. A few months later, on 04/03/09, my car was leaking water onto the dashboard, from the dome lights, window airbag. The water was pooled in my dome lights (8 total lights). Took truck in to be repaired that day. They could not get to it for 3 days, work was done on 04/06/09. I was told the procedures they had to perform the recall back in sept. Were incorrect, therefore causing the problem/leaking. I was also told that I was not the only one this happened to. I was not notified of the "recall on the recall" and as a result, my sunroof leaked and filled my truck with water and who knows what type of damage will result because of it. Electrical? Will my airbag work? Mold? I was told there will be no damage as a result but how can that be guaranteed?

I owned a 2007 acadia and had 4 sunroof leaks and gm bought it back because it was a lemon. The last time it leaked the sunroof glass was replaced along with the seal, that seamed to fix the problem. I currently own a 2008 acadia and there has been no problems with water leaks.

On two occasions while driving my car on a snowy day, on a major highway my windshield wipers stopped working, almost causing a major crash. The dealer stated that the rod that connects the wipers to the motor broke off causing the wipers to stop. I had to have the car flatbed to a gmc dealer. There is no recall on the failure. The dealer just keeps making the same connection. This failure makes driving my car on bad weather days very dangerous. My wife is afraid to drive this car in bad weather.
