This car is crap, I bought this car less than 6 months ago. I loved it and the space, features, look, feel etc. The car lot I got it from in st peters, missouri are crooks!! Ok so the engine blew all 4 pistons. I took it to a shop to get the engine repaired (4800.00) when they finally found a good engine which was not easy to do they ran diagnostic, there was a very very long list of code errors from the tranny. They said a bunch of wires had been cut underneath it and the transmission transfer case was cracked (600.00) This was the 4th acadia they had to replace a engine in the last month. It still runs like crap, cant wait to get rid of it like a bad boyfriend. DO NOT BUY GMC I NEVER WILL!

ALL newer midsize SUVs and CARs that GMC are making have JUNK ENGINES!!!!!!! Its crap and youll never have an inexpensive fix. Headlights are CRAP ! Safety CRAP you have really bad blinds spots how these are made from the slides and REAR ! it made where youll have to use rear assist and that's CRAP. YOUVE BEEN WARNED. ACADIAS, TRAVERSE, EQUINOXS, ETC. JUST STAY AWAY FROM THEIR MIDSIZE CROSSOVER SUVs PERIOD! Especially if youre a single parent and poor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have had nothing but trouble out of this vehicle. Problems with transmission, electrical, gas tank and now brake fluid leaking. Another large bill. I am a General Motors employee and have a hard time telling people to purchase a GM vehicle and now after this issue will never recommend GM to anyone. GM you disappoint me.

I am 31 years old and this is the 3rd straight GM vehicle that I have owned. Bout my first one at 17. The Acadia is known for issues with its transmission, roof leaks, etc. I have to say that I have been 100% satisfied with mine. The only recommendation that I can think of would be to improve the mpg. I currently average about 18 mpg and that is a good combination of highway and city mileage. So that is more like what to expect. BUT! The Acadia is a very spacious family vehicle. So what exactly is everyone on here expecting?? 32mpg? For that, you're in the wrong market of vehicles anyways.

Consumer Reports compares this vehicle to others in its medium class and gives the negative review of poor mileage. Really? Even though it has almost twice as much luggage capacity and 23 cu. foot more cargo capacity than the Highlander, more cargo capacity than the Mazda CX-9, Pilot and Taurus and more powerful engine than all except the Mazda, it still gets better mileage than all others named here or in its class. Moving and pulling more for less is a big deal. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is 6400 lbs and it beats its competitors there by 500 lbs. while getting a 16/24 mpg. rating. I love the way it drives and performs. You want to get one of these if you want the most for the miles
