Is the 2008 GMC Acadia a used car?
I bought my 2008 GMC Acadia from a GM dealership as a used vehicle with 50,000 miles on it. Less than one year later all hell breaks loose. During a rain storm while driving, water started pouring into the interior through the seatbelts, airbags and sunroof. The next morning, all of the computers in the car went crazy and the car wouldn’t turn on.
Why is my GMC Acadia still at the dealer?
I still have no answer for this elusive problem. Actually our Acadia is still at the dealer as several other issues came up: the same ABS/service traction and stabilitrak light, the electric cooling fans running continuously even when vehicle is cold such as on 1st start up of the day and a broken lumbar support function driver seat.
How does service stabilitrac work on a GMC Acadia?
I was nearing home and was only about 2 miles from home when I heard the chimes and then the message flashed across the DIC… it went off momentarily and then reappeared with the ABS light as well however no CEL which I think is a good sign. I was dreading what was coming next like….loss of power but it drove fine.
