Update: Now have 60K miles on my 8 year old Acadia & the extended warranty ran out last year... I'm getting rid of it before something else big/expensive goes wrong - which I expect to be soon!!! In 8 years it's been in the shop about a dozen times, & just had to have it towed a few months ago. All sorts of annoying things inside are breaking and mechanically, it's been one thing after another! And I take good care of my vehicles! Am getting a Honda Pilot or Toyota 4-Runner. This review was at 45k miles: Overall, while I like many of the practical, daily-use aspects of the Acadia, which is why I ended up buying this car (see fave features below), the mechanical unreliability would probably cause me not to buy a GMC again. I was hoping American car manufacturers had figured out the quality-thing. In the past, we've owned several Toyotas & Hondas and, while I'm "all American", next time I'll go back to the more reliable brands.

This was the most expensive mistake I have ever made. This vehicle requires constant trips to the dealership. I have had the timing chains done twice (under warranty), coil packs (1,3 & 5) engine de-sludged, recall after recall. The dealership suggested I consider if I want to invest any more money in this vehicle. I purchased this vehicle because of the size to accommodate my family. GMC disappoints BIG TIME. I will buy foreign when I unload this LEMON.

We are heading back to dealer again for repairs on our Acadia which we have owned for only 9 months. We have added roadside assistance to our speed dial after having to call for problems with battery, starter, and fuel pump. This is our first and last GMC purchase.
Nothing but transmission problems & noises

I have had nothing but issues with the transmission in my 2009 Acadia since I bought it. When the recall came out I had an issue with my transmission regarding some of the issues in included with the 3-5-R Waveplate recall but not all of them. I am now at 126k miles and GMC will do nothing to help me. I have talked to multiple people and the one person who gave her extension and said she would help, I cannot reach. What do I do? It is going to cost $3,000 to rebuild the transmission and my husbands truck is about to kick the bucket. My husband has a 2008 GMC avalanche and it has 315k miles on it!! Amazing truck. I am currently rethinking whether or not we will be spending any more money with GMC. Why put a deadline on a faulty item in a vehicle. If it's bad it's bad!! I think the service departments at the dealerships are told to make people happy but don't work too hard towards assisting them with warranty issues, this will take too much time. Get this, while my vehicle was in the shop for the hundredth time someone from the dealership called and offered me $6k for my car because the manager told him to. Are you joking?!! GM really needs to step up on this one or Toyota will be getting my husbands business and my daughters next year.

This car/truck is a very good vehicle for the money. I have not had any issues with features or functions everthing works as expected. My kids love the Acadia and I still gets double looks from people on the street. I looked at all the others Acura MDX, Mazda CX9, Lexus RX, Ford Flex and read all the reviews but kept coming back to the Acadia. The styling and features are very impressive.
