Review
The GMC Acadia is an engineering nightmare. The transmission has known issues that GM will not back up when it goes bad. The interior has these large holes in the floor that the seat should slide on but just end up filled with junk. A headlight out on this vehicle is an expensive trip to the dealer because it is not something an owner can change. Do not buy this vehicle or GM for that matter if this is how the stand behind their cars.

My Acadia is 2007I was very exited about this new suv back in 2007 when I bought it. At 28000 water pump died/at 42000 transmission died at 60000 ac and power strng died for every single issue i went to the dealer that I bought it and mostly of the issues were not fixed and what ever was fixe I had to pay for it trnsmission was not able to figure out. engine light was on i dropped to the dealer and for days and weeks and would work for couple of the months and again same story would not shift to higher gear.power steering saves me money to dont use the fitness center because I work out by steering my acadia that's how bad it is. I own tahoe Hummer
and cadillac srx but acadia was bad choice

Ok, so we bought new in April 2007.
After 150,000km our Acadia had pretty much zero problems!
We have only been changing different oils/fluids (engine, transmission, power steering) and air filter.
Breaks are still original - amazing!
Only one problem in year 2 fixed under warranty: dirty sensor (vehicle pretty much shut down on highway).
Will be getting 3rd set of tires this summer.
So tire wear has been great.
My wife mostly drives this vehicle, about 65% highway.
Regardless, the reliability so far has been extraordinary!
We also own a Toyota Sienna and Mercedes Benz E500 and Acadia has been most trouble free by far.
Just thought would share given all negative reviews.

Bought the car new. At 20,000 miles engine was removed to repair the timing chain sensor. A/C broke on a trip from Cleveland to Chicago. Recall to delete the heated wiper fluid option (+$100 check). More timing chain issues at 36,000 miles. Rear liftgate malfunctioned: would not close/would not stay closed. A/C broke again on very same trip again. Transmission failure-after a month at the dealer, new transmission was installed. A/c broke for the 3rd time on a short two-hour trip at 58,000. I waved the white flag and bought a 2011 Land Rover LR4. Acadia had lots of neat features far to many issues and an under powered engine.

This car is, by far, the worst vehicle we've ever owned.
After owning a Yukon Delani, I was looking forward to buying another GMC.
Huge mistake, this will be the last GMC we will ever buy.
The water pump has gone out, it's had a flurry of random electrical problems, the airbag only is on about 1/2 the time someone is in the passenger seat and now the tranny is blown at less than 60k.
I'm shocked GMC is selling such an unreliable car to consumers.
I've been broken down on the side of the road twice now.
They need to recall these cars and reimburse those of us who have to put in new trannys (according to the dealership doing our repairs, GM is FULLY aware of the issue and doesn't care).

We purchased an SLT2 FWD in April 2007.
We have 47,000 miles on the vehicle.
We did experience a water pump issue that was covered under the 100K mileage warranty.
Other than that, the Acadia has been trouble free.
We just returned from a 2,100 mile trip to Colorado from California and back through the Nevada and Utah deserts where the temperature was 105 degrees.
The Acadia was great.
I realize some owners have experienced issues that I'm sure GM is attempting to address.
This vehicle is built by Americans for Americans as well as others.
I only wish I'd ordered AWD and a tow package (for bikes).
Our mileage was 18.52 mpg matching exactly what the DIC indicated.
Buy and Acadia

we bought this SUV in 2007, it now has 108,785 miles, the transmittion is acting up, somehow it remains in 3rd gear. if you have an Acadia be sure to take it to the dealer before 100,000 miles to have it checked out. the repair cost $3,751. I contacted GMC customer service, at first they didn't want to help me with my issue, but I am hoping and praying for them to change their mind. I've had too many problems with this SUV, stay away from it, it has great looks, but quality is below standard for $35,000 SUV

As I have seen quite many people are disappointed with Acadia.
Especially sun roof leak, power steering rubbing noise, water pump leak.
I was lucky that I did not buy the one with a sun roof.
M Acadia had a water pump leak.
It has been replaced at 30k mileage for free under power train warranty.
The power steering rubbing noise happened after the bumper-to-bumper warranty.
However, after contacting the GMC Social Relation Department, GMC has split the cost.
That is a nicest thing of buying this vehicle. It shows GMC committed to customer satisfaction.

I purchased my 2007 Acadia last May and since that date it has been in the shop a lot.
The transmission had a lag so we had it in to get it repaired, they did some computer update and about a month later the transmission failed, so into the shop and a new rebuilt trani was put in, but still had the lag from 4th to 5th.
So in again to have it looked at.
The company increased the rpms so that there was no more lagging.
I have gone trouble free for a few months and now it is my steering.
Something to do with the inside mechanism of the steering colomn.
I am thinking that GM really made a lemon here.
Especially reading everyones complaints about the same things.

Our 2007 GMC Acadia has given us constant problems. We fell for the sleek design and interior comfort. At 6 months the transmission quit reversing in our driveway, It was replaced. Soon after we had constant electrical problems. The radio shorted out. The turn signals stopped. The headlamps shorted. Three of my four windows do not work (to expensive to fix). The airbags are deactivated. The stabilitrak has been a constant and ongoing issue with sensor issues. To date the engine has been dropped out of my car for repair 3 times. Today I am calling again today for a stabilitrak/check engine/ low engine performace signal, and it will probably be dropped another fourth and very costly time.
