WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, I FELT WATER DRIP FROM OVERHEAD AND HEARD SLOSHING NOISES. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, WATER BEGAN LEAKING FROM AIRBAG INDICIA. THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND KEY REMOVED, THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RUN. IMAGINE HOW UNSAFE TO TURN OFF A VEHICLE, REMOVE THE KEY AND THE ENGINE TO REMAIN RUNNING. BEFORE I COULD GET TO SERVICE, THE TEMPERATURE PLUMMETED TO BELOW ZERO, AND I COULD NOT GET THE DEFROSTER TO WORK. I SCRAPED THE INTERIOR OF THE WINDOWS, BUT WITHOUT HEAT, FOGGED AGAIN. ZERO VISIBILITY. THE DEALER SAID THERE WERE MULTIPLE POINTS WHERE WATER WAS SEEPING INTO THE CAR, WREAKING HAVOC WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, INCLUDING HVAC, DEFROSTER. SERVICE TECH SAID THERE WAS "BLOWER MOWER" FAILURE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I DISCOVERED MY VEHICLE HAD SAME PROBLEMS AS GMC ACADIA CAMPAIGN 08207, WITH FAILURE OF SUNROOF PART 25930220, WHICH AFFECTED LIMITED VIN NUMBERS. WE ALSO DISCOVERED THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT WORKING FROM THE WATER DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THE CURRENT STATUS OF THIS GETTING REPAIRED IS UNKNOWN -- OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS! IN ADDITION, I HAD NOTICED FLOOR MATS BEING DAMP, BUT ASSUMED A CONSEQUENCE OF THE SNOW AND RAIN. I AM CONVINCED THAT THE LEAK/DAMP FLOOR MATS IS REASON FOR THE MILDEW/MOLD SMELL. EACH OF THESE PROBLEMS ARE WELL DOCUMENTED IN THEIR TSBS. I WAS ALSO SHOCKED TO FIND SO MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS! PLEASE, PLEASE REVIEW THE CORRELATION BETWEEN TSBS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURES AND REPAIRS TO THE LEAKING HOSE. OF COURSE, GMC DENIES THIS IS THEIR PROBLEM, AND SAYS REPAIRS WILL ALL BE AT MY EXPENSE. FINALLY, I AM NOT THE FIRST PERSON TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM! SURELY, THE FACT THAT I (AND MANY, MANY OTHERS) ARE HAVING THE EXACT LEAK PROBLEMS AS REFERENCED IN GMC CAMPAIGN 08207 INDICATES THAT PROBLEM WENT BEYOND THOSE VIN#S. THEY ARE HIDING A BIG PROBLEM. HELP!!

I WAS DRIVING IN HEAVY SNOW IN VIRGINIA WHEN MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS SUDDENLY FAILED AND I HAD 0 VISIBILITY. I ALMOST GOT INTO ACCIDENT BECAUSE SNOW ACCUMULATED THAT QUICKLY ON THE WINDSHIELD. UNTIL I FOUND A SAFE PLACE TO STOP AND WAIT FOR HELP, I HAD MY DAUGHTER GET OUT OF THE CAR EVERY TIME I STOPPED TO MANUALLY CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD WITH HER HANDS. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP IN A PARKING LOT AND WAITED FOR A FRIEND TO COME PICK ME UP. RECALL 08091 THAT HUNDREDS OF GMC ACADIA OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT SHOULD APPLY TO MY VEHICLE.

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO THE WINDOW SEAL ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER WINDOW. IT HOLDS WATER IN THE SEAL AND HAS A VERY STRONG OFFENSIVE MOLD/MILDEW ODOR. EACH TIME YOU ROLL DOWN EITHER WINDOW THE SMELL IS SO STRONG THAT YOUR ALLERGIES ARE IMMEDIATELY AFFECTED. I DON'T THINK IT IS HEALTHY TO CONSTANTLY SMELL MOLD WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEY AGREED THAT IT WAS HORRIBLE, BUT ONLY SUGGESTED THAT I TAKE AN AIR HOSE AND BLOW OUT THE TRAPPED WATER. THAT DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE EACH TIME IT RAINS OR YOU WASH YOUR VEHICLE IT SMELLS AGAIN. I HATE DRIVING A NEWER VEHICLE THAT SMELLS LIKE A MOLDED TRASH CONTAINER. I WOULD LIKE A BETTER SOLUTION FOR THIS NEVER ENDING PROBLEM.
