  Our 2007 GMC Acadia has been in the shop for transmission repairs 6 times in less than 2 years. We decided to contact the BBB to have the auto either replaced or repurchase. During the time of the repairs where made the Acadia was still under warranty. We filled the required paperwork and got an arbitration process going, which took about 2 month but by that time the vehicle was out of warranty. We pled our case with the BBB and GM.
 
 After multiple transmission repairs, GM stated that the vehicle was safe to drive and that if it wasn't then why where we still driving it. Mind you that the transmission went out once when going down hill, very scary moment go thing the breaks where good. The BBB was well aware of all the repairs that where made during my tenure of ownership, they where also aware of the transmission repairs that done during the prior owners. I did not know that the car had been having transmission problems since mile 16 (I bought it Certified Used with 50,000 mies).
 
 My wife and I thought we had a case. After the arbitration hearing the BBB contacted an independent inspector. The inspector concluded that their was a vibration internally in the transmission, which causes the Acadia to violently shake at speeds above 60 mph.

  Did I mention the vehicle had just had the torque converter replaced about 10 days prior to the inspection by a certified GMC dealership. Well we just got the conclusion or final word from the BBB. They want us to take the vehicle to a auto shop of our choice and have the "vibration at speed's above 60 mph fixed." I'm in a lost of words, what else can they do if they couldn't fix it by the 6th time.

 This is just a summary of the events.
