I bought a used 2008 SLT 2 AWD with every option on it for 29 K the vehicle had 37000 miles on it. Ater reading the reviews I was worried about the automatic transmission and water leakage so I had the dealer pull up a car fax and all the GMC service records, all recalls were taken care and only oil change and tire rotation in the service records. The vehicle runs great, good ride and the styling is awesome, I got a 5 year 100,000 bumper to bumper on it because of all the bells and whistles. After a month no complaints, a great GMC product.

This has been the worst "luxury" car I have ever owned. It has been one issue after another. Overall price of work done to this car ranged well over $12,000.00 in the past 3 years. It has been one issue after another, too many to list. Several technicians at the dealerships that this vehicle has ben to have told me to get rid of it ASAP. 2008 Acadias are known for being a pile of junk with one issue after another. GM should be ashamed for even allowing these vehicles to be sold. They are more than aware of the long list of expensive issues these vehicles have.

I'm sorry to say the 2008 Acadia will be my last GMC. I now have 90,000 miles on the car and have taken extremely good care of it. AC problems, transmission problems, daylight headlamp problems, NAV problems are just a few of the continuing problems with this car. I don't trust the car anymore to get me out of town as it has broke down twice and had to be towed. When you get a warning light on this car you had better be close to a GMC dealer because it will just quit in the middle of the street. Last week I received a recall notice from my GMC dealer. I just check GM's website and they say NO recall on my car. That's how messed up they are. Very sad.
