2010 GMC Acadia power train problems

“power train came up on a computer check witch looks like the same problem that is already on here my engine light is on as long as my abs and track control light stable light is on”

“2010 GMC Acadia transmission had to be replaced due to faulty wave plate. I have seen many others with this same problem. GM is aware of the issue and even issued a special warranty for 2007-2009 models. 2010 models are having this same issue. GM should stand behind their products and issue a recall. This cost us over $3000.”

“THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS. WHEN YOU START THE VEHICLE IT SOMETIMES STARTS IN THE WRONG GEAR AND NEEDS TO BE SHUT OFF AN RESTARTED, OTHERWISE IT RUNS ON TOO MANY RPM. AT TIMES WHEN PUSHING ON THE GAS, AFTER A STOP AT A LIGHT, IT DOES NOT MOVE FOR A WHILE. WHEN IT DOES MOVE IT JERKS AND ABRUPTLY STARTS. THE RUNNING DAY HEAD LAMP OVERHEATS AND BURNS OUT THE LIGHT BULB, CAUSING IT TO EXPLODE.”

“FIRST PROBLEM IS THAT THE POWER STEERING IS HARD TO TURN WHEN NOT MOVING OR WHILE DRIVING AT SLOWER SPEEDS AS IF THERE IS NO POWER STEERING AT ALL. SECOND PROBLEM IS THE TRANSMISSION OCCASIONALLY WILL NOT SHIFT FROM 1ST GEAR WHICH WILL CAUSE ME TO PULL OVER TO A COMPLETE STOP THEN ACCELERATE AGAIN ALLOWING IT TO SHIFT.”

“MY ACADIA STARTED ACTING UP AND SHIFTING GEARS HARD WHEN GOING UP MOUNTAINS THEN IT STARTED NOT WANTING TO CHANGE GEARS FROM 3 TO 4 AND THE CODE RAN WAS SHIFTER STUCK ALSO ONCE GETTING IT IN THE SHOP WAS READING 3 OTHER TRANSMISSION CODES AND WAS TOLD MY TRANSMISSION WILL NEED TO BE REBUILT FOR $2800.00 I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THIS VEHICLE WHEN MADE WAS NOTORIOUS FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES AND THAT GM WAS COVERING THE PROBLEM UP TO 100K MILES MINE NOW HAS 168K BUT I WAS NEVER TOLD AND IT DIDN'T SHOW AS A RECALL TO HAVE ANYTHING DONE ABOUT THIS. AS A SINGLE MOTHER OF 3 $2800. ISN'T EASY TO JUST COME UP WITH ESPECIALLY AFTER HAVING HAS OTHER PROBLEMS THAT HAD TO BE FIXED. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS?”

“POWER CHAIN WENT OUT WHILE TAKING A CORNER AND ALMOST PUT MY HUSBAND AND DAUGHTER IN THE DITCH, HE STOPPED AND ALMOST GOT REAR-ENDED. MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE, THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT.”
