Beware of GMC ACADIA
I bought a 2008 GMC Acadia because I loved the styling and space for my 3 kids. It was great for a couple of years, but then the trouble started. I paid $1,100 to fix a steering problem (not under the warranty), then needed a re-built transmission at 62,000 mi and now at 83,000 mi the transmission is gone again. All the dealer says is "sorry, the warranty expired 4 months ago". This on top of electrical problems with the seats and headlights. This has broken any spirit I had to support American cars. I feel taken advantage of by GMC, who I fell is both unfair and unethical. The newer Acadias are reviewed more favorably, `but let's see in two years - BEWARE!!!

- SLT-1 4dr SUVMSRP: $8,995218 mi away
- SLT-1 4dr SUVMSRP: $6,500272 mi away
Don't even consider this vehicle!
If you are interested in an 08 Acadia do yourself a favor and RUN! All the problems with the first year 07's just continued with the 08's. I was back to the dealership every month the first year of ownership with problem after problem. The biggest problems being 10mpg fuel economy as well as multiple water leaks that could not be fixed. please be aware that if you decide to purchase and have problems, the only thing you will get out of GM customer service is a free oil change. Please learn from my mistake!
Stay away from GMC Acadia
Have more problems with a 2008 GMC Acadia than with my 2000 GMC Denali and 2003 GMC Envoy. I recommend staying away from General Motors completely. Quality of GMC cars has greatly reduced over the last 10 years.

Scared to own the Acadia anymore !
Got abt 60K on my Acadia 2008, then I sold. During ownership, I liked Acadia, and so did my family, space, comfort, features were irresistible.Never the less, my family did not know how much care and scare this vehicle consumes.It started with sunroof leak, no good fix at the dealer. strange messages like (Check gauges) when hit parking brakes or open glove box! (Service traction) for unknown reason. Engine mounts & front suspension can go easily and quickly on slightly rough roads, I heard many complaints from Acadia owners & seen many on the repair shops but when trany started to hunt for gears on cruze control & AC started to consume more power. I gave up and sold it
