The design won me over, but.....

I was looking for a good size SUV after wanting something AWD when trading in my 2015 Kia Optima EX.... The Acadia All Terrain SLE2 won me over and I love the way it looks and drives. I bought the one with the bench rear seat and dual sunroof. The V6 has plenty of power and the AWD system is amazing, in my opinion. I feel very safe driving this. Now for the bad, after 6,000 miles I got an error one day stating "Low Engine Power Mode"... immediately took it in and they replaced the electronic pedal system. Fixed the issue. A few miles later the driveshaft started making a ticking noise and got very loud after driving for a while, mainly over bumps and even the smallest ones it would make a noise... Not normal. The dealership replaced something due to a recall. Fixed the issue. Randomly the lights will all flash.. but since I can't duplicate it.. dealerships have no interest or idea what could have happened. The sunroof had to be realigned and still makes a cracking noise when closing and sometimes bounces back to open... I found water inside the rear glass when washing.. Today I get in after it had been raining all night and my passenger side has standing water... Brake plate on the driver side rattles like crazy.. I think this car had great "initial quality", but this will be my last GM product. I put 60,000 on my Kia from buying it new and not ONE problem.. $46,000 for this is way too much.... Too bad I can't trade it in since with 12,000 miles its worth about $20,000 less than what I paid for it.

Shift to park issue at 12,000 miles. Dealer fixed with a jumper harness. Now car has 22,000 miles and is 11 days out of the 3 year warranty and am having the same shift to park issue again. Smail GMC said the entire shifter assembly needs replaced because the jumper harness didn’t fix it. Cost is $620. GM is refusing to pay. No more GM products.
Love my Acadia

This is a great vehicle. Wanted power with V6 and got it. You want to know how to operate wipers etc? Read your manual! Or ask your dealer. I’ve read so many negative comments it makes me think the people have stock in foreign car companies or just dont know a fantastic vehicle when they are in one. Every vehicle has possibly minor problems-they are a mirage of mechanical parts. Fix it, quit grumbling and get over it. Foreign cars are not immune to repair! Im so sick of comparisons to foreign junk. People only recall bad not good. I love my dual sunroof and yes it sits up high enough to see the road ahead better than most vehicles. Shall I say the bigger the truck the smaller the man? Ouch. Awd no prob on my hilly driveway or Michigan pothole roads in the winter! Love love love my heated seats-wonderful. Using your turn signal as you ALWAYS should-mirror alerts you to blind spots (always double check as well). Rear back up camera excellent visual. Push a button rear hatch opens. I have an app on my phone that starts the vehicle. Roof rack, fold back mirrors and a sleek look. I see many happy drivers on the roads! I am one of them! See me smile! Oh and for all who say support troops, support USA and buy American based and built. That means Ford and GM. Sorry ye old jeeps. (We cant control where all the parts are made but figure ALL the vehicles share many of them-thats why many recalls are across many brands). Thanks for allowing me to express my opinion. Safe and happy travels!

I have had 7 SUVs, and this is the best ever. My gas mileage is better than predicted, almost 30 mpg for freewa thavel. Very smooth, quiet, comfortable ride. Styling good, not great. No service yet beyond oil changes and tire rotations.
