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.

Central lock defect

My new Acadia just became faulty. A month after I purchased it, the central lock broke down. After being sent to repair 3 times, the dealer still couldn't manage to figure out what was wrong. It would be great to open my acadia without using the key, driver door. It will also be great to get my kids in without having them wait outside in order for me to get in and open the windows to be able to unlock the doors manually.

Beware of Estimated MPG's

All around I love my new Acadia. But beware of the sticker estimated MPG's. The sticker says 17cty/24hwy, my actual so far has been 13cty/17hwy. If I had known this before my decision may have changed on buying an Acadia. All but the poor MPG's I love my new Acadia.

we liked everything about this vehicle. I rides just a bit harder than thee Enclave, but after owning a dodge Durango for five years we kind of liked a little bit of the truck/suv feel to it. We had to purchase a one year extended warranty to extend the life of the loan out to 72 months instead of 60, and also built into the loan dvd players in the head rest of the two front seat the come with wireless headsets for $1,650. This will keep the kids from fighting more.

I have been a Honda kinda guy. Taking a chance with GMC, love the vehicle at this point, with the exception of the MPG (overstated). As long as the reli bility is there down the road I will be fine, Anyone out there that can speak of the relibility on owning a 2007?
