I bought my 2009 GMC Acadia on December 27, 2010. Before I made may first payment my power steering went out. Got it back had it two weeks, and once again the power steering went out almost caused us to flip. It has been in the shop more than I have had it. It only has 24,000 miles. This car makes me very nervous! Not for sure I even want it back this round.
Do not buy this car!

Lots of electronic and mechanical issues. Many trips to the dealer. Rack and pinion went out $2200, 3 fuel injectors $1800, struts $400, lots of electrical sensors and mystery check engine issues. Would not buy another GMC!

Never have had such a bad experance before! Purchased this used SUV this last July from Gilbert Ford in Moscow, Id. Drove this car home and when I got on a country road, which is gravel the air conditioning started blowing dirt into the cabin. There is NO in cab air filter!!! Thus the whole enviorment, durt, allergens and fumes are taken into the cab with you. Complained to dealer and at this time still do NOT have a filter in place. After sale service is horrible at the above dealership. If your thinking of buying an Acadia older than a 2012 make sure there is an in cab filter if you want to be able to breath.
Acadia vs Yukon

I traded my '06 Yukon for a '09 Acadia. At the time gas was $$ and I felt compelled to get a better mileage vehicle. Oops! I paid more for the Acadia than I would have for another Yukon (with the factory and dealer spiffs they were giving back then). Turns out my Yukon got BETTER mileage! The Acadia is O.K., looks good, reliable, etc, but it is more like driving a van than an SUV. My only complaint is the acceleration hesitation in wet and cold weather, which nobody can seem to fix. Other than that, no problems at all in the first 20k miles. But, next time around, Im back to a Yukon.
I can’t wait to pay this thing off

I do love this truck only because I got everything I wanted, low miles, a sun roof and leather interior but oh my god the problems are horrific and I drive like an old lady. I stay up to date with everything inc oil changes, tire rotations and fluid checks monthly. First month we have it the back rear plate goes so dealership took care of it and luckily we got the free rental. Now a year later the transmission seems like it is slipping in 1000 to 2000 rpms the lever goes up and down and also the truck shakes when accelerating at these points. We have put so much into this truck and we are still upside down on the loan. I’m not too sure what to do with it next as the warranty is up. A new transmission will kill me and idk how to handle this one. I would never buy another Acadia for as long as I live. The interior is to die for though as you have the double sun roofs which one does not open at all and I think it’s just for decoration. We have the pull down t v/dvd player that came with earphones and a remote for the kids, third row seating which is awesome for those long trips with the pup. The two kids take up the second down and the pup has the back all to herself after we fold down that third row. The room in this thing is amazing and with the heated and cooling seats, it really is quite a treat. Mileage is terrible. Fill up is 25 gallons and u will be lucky to get 325 miles out of that. Mirrors go to night vision when it gets dark. Also I highly recommend changing out your headlights because factory sucks big time. It’s a nice interior and with the Bose system we have never had to change speakers at all. It’s just a huge money pit for everything else. The tire monitor system gets out of whack all the time and the oil gauge is always way off. Now the battery which is brand new fluctuates a lot and I mean going from 10 to 16 which I thought wasn’t normal but apparently several battery checks say it most definitely is.
