Worst Vehicle I ever owned!

Bought this back in summer of 2012, used had about 20,000 miles on it. Buying this car was one of the worst decisions i ever made. Just 2 years after I bought it, the transmission blew out 3 times. The car itself was junk. Everytime after it rained, if I went up a hill, water would pour out on to my feet. Mold was growing under the hood. I do recommend this vehicle to anyone, very unreliable.

GMC Playing Games

I own a GMC Acadia, on a day that I was riding home from work. I hit a pot hold in the streets and my side air bags deployed von both sides. I called the company about the situation. They had me to take it to a dealership to get checked. After the expert checked it he stated that the airbags deployed correctly with sensors responding to a roll-over. My car had no damage to it at all, I hit a pot hold. They told me it was my fault and I had to get it repaired. I love the vehicle but this kind of service response is not what I or any other consumer needs to here. The sensors malfunctioned so GMC should be responsible in repairing the airbags but because they cost so much they leave me the lonely consumer to pay for it. Which I can not afford or fight them about. If not repair it at least replace the vehicle with another one, this would have not cost the Manufacture a dime. Hopefully more consumers complain about the business practice of GMC.

Check Engine light

We love our Acadia, beautiful design but unhappy with the Check Engine Light being on about 80% of the time since we have owned it: 5 months. Each time its on I take it in, and all 3 times they say its the emissions and each time I get one new part: canister with hoses, next time it was the purge valve, last time was the fuel tank sensor --and after the car was on the lift and the tank off -oops, wrong part, so I got a rental car at their expense. 2 days later, check engine light on again. I have asked for a new gas cap -as it also says 'tighten gas cap" (we do) and I guess it all depends on GM and what they say. If it comes on again after whatever they do this time, I want another car!!

G hit the jackpot with this puppy. This vehicle is a joy to drive and sports very stylish looks. At 6 feet 3 inches I am astonished at the interior roominess. I can even ride comfortably in the third row seats. My last vehicle was a 2007 Yukon and the third row seats were a joke. Car has lots of bells and whistle and the nav and sound systems are fantastic. I only wish GM would have used better quality plastic on the interior appointments given the price of the car. The engine is very responsive and the ride is very smooth. I test drove the 2009 Acura MDX and the Lexus RX 350 before buying. Both were nice but did not come close to the Arcdia in space, technogoly and smooth ride.
Transmission issues

After having my 2009 GMC Acadia at the dealership for a month with transmission issues it is once again going there. After the check engine light came back on exactly a week after having it back. I used my neighbors diagnostic tester and the code P0700 came up. So it’s being towed back tommorow morning. I have been trying to contact gmc for weeks since day one and nothing. A customer service rep called and left a message so I called her back and I haven’t heard anything back. So I emailed GMC and now I am writing a review. I don’t want to shame the company because gmc is a household name and it used to be good. I read that if you continue to try you might get a response. I hope it works. I would like to resolve this ASAP this car is my main vehicle for my family. *10-02-2018 UPDATE My car is back in the shop again with the sputter issue. In March we spent close to $6,000.00 on trans/catalytic converter repairs. We thought it was fixed. I just dropped it off this morning after contacting the dealership and gmcs customer service. On the bright side they helped me get a loaner car to drive my kids back and forth to school. UPDATE 10/4/18 I have my car back. It was the coil pack and a spark plug says The dealership. So far it is running okay. I will update if it happens again.
