We're the 2nd owners of this car; we picked it up at around 63k. In the last 1.5 years, we've definitely had a few things go wrong with it that were out of the norm. 1) Ignition coils 3 & 3 went bad and had to be replaced along with corresponding spark plugs. 2) 2 of the 3 seat belt housings in the 2nd row seats broke. Seat belt mechanism still worked though. 3) Rough idle due some minor sludging; this was remedied with a good fuel injector cleaning and oil change. 4) Catalytic converter kicked back a low performance code and was subsequently replaced. Good thing we bought it from to include an extended warranty which covered it all. Sad, but we really like the car otherwise.
DO NOT BUY

You will need to replace your transmission. Mine was $4800. Tons of electrical problems that are impossible to diagnose and drain your battery. I have to disconnect my battery just so it doesn’t die ovenrnight. The timing chain will eventually destroy your engine, probably another $5000. Headlights burn out every year or less. Horrendous gas mileage, I get maybe 15-16 and that’s being generous. Absolute waste of money even though everyone compliments the looks of it because it really is beautiful and can hold a lot of cargo. I can’t express how much I am disappointed with this GMC ACADIA. Don’t be fooled by its looks! Trust me! Money PIT! Don’t do it! And if you have one allready, get rid of it ASAP.

Great (but not perfect) vehicle

As another reviewer pointed out, the front seat headrest design isn't great. Fortunately, this is my wife's car. It replaced a Grand Caravan--AWD was a big selling feature, and did not disappoint last winter. Interior noise is surprisingly low. Gas mileage isn't great, but isn't that different from the Grand Caravan. If you're looking for a fuel miser, this definitely isn't the vehicle for you. The only other complaint is that the vehicle is so wide that many parking spaces are tight squeezes. This often leads to door dings.
MPG not as advertised

The Acadia is fun to drive and comfortable on 3 long trips we have made. It has lots of room for about anything, but the mpg we are getting is not even close to the advertised mpg. Made a trip to Canada and pulled my small aluminum boat and got only 12.25 mpg on 2500 miles. my overall mpg is now averaging 15.50. I only get 17 on the interstate with normal 65-70 speed. GM customer service did not seem to care what mpg we got, so just pushed me off and said sorry.
Poor Overall Vehicle
