Problem Reports

Driving along at 55mph on highway in cruise control, transmission slipped out of gear into like 3rd gear, limped it home 60 miles (real joy). Ran code reader on it P0700 and P0717. Reset codes, came right back 2 houses down. Read all the threads on-line, limped 8 miles over 2 hours to the dealer turning off car and restarting, erasing codes when that didn't work, wished I lived near tall bridge to throw this POS off of since this is our 3rd major issue after owning this SLT2 for less than 2 years! We were lucky enough to experience the water leaking sunroof and seam issues you can search on and the car has mold we can't get rid of. Wave plate shot and needs to be replaced. My super conservative Dad even is telling me to sell the POS the day I get it back and eat the loss and buy non-GM. Funny coming from a WWII vet who owned nothing but GM's over the past 60 years. GM is not the same as it was. I see a Honda in the near future.

our acadia will not go in reverse. my wife has to sit for at least 5 minutes before it will finally engage. what a piece of shit! if have spent at least 2k on this car since we purchased it 3 years ago. i will never buy another one of these cars again!!!

First, loud noise coming from transmission, engine reving, no reverse. Dropped off @ dealership. Broken waveplate, trans needed rebuilt. When complete, a saturn outlook sitting outside with the same exact problem.I hope we're good now?

Car wasn't shifting properly. Broke down completely to a stand still (with my 3 kids in the car miles away from my home) and needed to be towed. Diagnosis from dealership: 3-5-R WAVE PLATE BROKEN. Transmission was repaired and reassembled. This seems to be a common problem with this vehicle. Class Action law suit??

Just happened yesterday; in the rain, stranded with our 3 small children, on the side of the road. Our code reader shows: P0700, 0796, 2723. Should be interesting to hear what shall come of this on Monday...
