Leaking axle seal, vibration on acceleration, hesitation and revving at times??

What is your question?

My brand new car has done this since 6 months after purchase, dealer claims they can't duplicate, but the axle seal has been replaced twice now in 2 years, it only has 36000 miles and has been back 10 times, I believe since we also notice but was also dismissed and "not seen by mechanic" see a drop of transmission fluid on seam of the case that the transmission has been leaking from case and axle seal. I believe the transmission has suffered some damage but don't know if because it is intermittent but fairly regular under everyday driving conditions if this is a sign of bigger transmission problems?

What makes this problem better or worse?

Hard to say, turbo issue is noticed when I am at highway speeds needing pull out to pass but not pushing hard on gas will see rpms rev and turbo doesn't kick in

How long has your 2018 GMC Terrain had this problem?

years now - brought to dealer 10 times for same issues

Hello, my best advice would be to review your concern with the service manager at the dealership. They would be in the best position to help you diagnose and repair your concern, and address any problems you are having. The axle seal issue could be continuing (if that's what's wrong) due to a problem with the shaft that is inserted. If there are any imperfections where the seal sits, then it could continue to get damaged. As far as the turbocharger -- not related to the axle, but if this is a problem, you should bring this up also. The vehicle could still have warranty coverage. Good luck!
