"P0017 and p0008 error codes: my wife loves her acadia! dealership has done recalls, replaced rack and pinion and ps pump."
"I own a 2010 gmc acadia. the code that was being thrown was p0008. i had to have the chains and actuators replaced in the engine. after paying for that the check engine light is back on again, so the vehicle is back at the shop again."
"My acadia is throwing p0008 code. it began having power issues not being able to accelerate and pulling up the smallest hills. all of this started going 70mph down the interstate. not a good spot or time to decelerate. also started having a very rough idle."
"Check engine light is on. vehicle is showing a p0008 code with 92,000 miles this is a crankshaft misalignment that i was told means the timing chain will need to be replaced. this is apparently a widespread issue amongst gmc acadia owners."
"My check engine light came on and i thought it was the gas cap as it continued to go on and off. i had someone check the codes and it came back with p0017 and p0008. in addition now the a/c button won't stay on. it blinks then turns off."

Get a proper diagnosis
A code alone doesn't tell you the exact failed part. A diagnostic at a shop ($50-$150) pinpoints the root cause before you spend money on parts.
