I have also noticed other 2008 GMC Acadia owners with the same safety issue: Service Stabilitrak; Reduced Engine Power. When this happens, my car literally shakes and there's loss of control of the car! In my personal opinion, this is a safety issue and there needs to be a recall, at the very least! I've heard everything from it could be a throttle body issue, to change your oil?? All I can say to GM is that they better be darn glad that I wasn't traveling at a high rate of speed (when it first happened--and it has happened on several occasions) and that I was the only one in my car. If it happens when my children are in the car, God have mercy on your soul.
Recall this now, before someone is seriously injured. Oh, one more thing: I have sent "messages" to GM via Facebook and they didn't offer to help at all. They offered to make a phone call to have my car brought in for service. Really?? Thanks, but I'm fairly certain I know how to pick up a phone and make the call myself.
started tachometer showing full then back 0 & off engine
Actually i'm suffering much for my acadia, i bought her in saudi second hand dealer of american cars.
but i encountered 3 problems...
1. after 30 minutes running engine suddenly off and ( showing traction is off on the panel ) then i reset the system by turning off the ignition switch lock the the car for 30 seconds then start again,,, then it will take only 3 or 10 or 6 random but not more than 10 minutes engine is always off.. then i found that module located front is very hot...
2. This the second problem, i start the engine then sudden start but the tachometer indicator showing reading moving to full and returning back right away to zero and at the same time the engine also is off.
3. The third problem when it is raining i found too much water inside the car but i didn't find any dropping of water on the ceiling or roof during the rainning time.
