Great SUV

Traded in a loaded 2002 Trailblazer LTZ for the loaded Acadia SLT2. As much as I loved the LTZ, this one has it beat in every way (except the LTZ had the rain sensor wipers). Only 4 months old but the milage is better than the LTZ even with AWD. The headsup display is great as are the heated/cooled seats. Enough storage space with the rear seat folded down, but plenty more with the second row captain's seats folded down. Really soomth ride with plenty of power. The Nav system is superior to my old Garmin unit. Not crazy about the plastic chrome interior trim. Looks cheap. Could use an upgrade in this area. All in all more than satisfied.

Don't make the mistake of buying a GMC Acadia!

I purchased a GMC Acadia 3 years ago because I wanted a smaller SUV with captain seats in the 2nd row and an entertainment center. I bought a 2009 with 68,000 miles on it. I only made it a month before it was in the shop for repairs! Over the last 3 years, I have replaced 7 engine coils (the car only has 6!), 2 catalytic converters, struts, purge valve and much more! After spending $3,000 in the last month in repairs, I picked it up today from the dealership and didn't even make it a mile before the check engine light came on again and the car was acting crazy. Now, they tell me it's the torque converter and will be another $4,000. The car isn't even worth that much! Please don't make the mistake of purchasing a GMC Acadia for the convenience of the bucket seats and entertainment center (the DVD player also stopped working not long after I bought it!) I will never again own a GMC!

Worst car

My husband and I purchased a used 2009 GMC Acadia in 2014 (one previous owner) at 50k miles. Here we are in 2021 and we finally got rid of that piece of junk car. I can’t count the times it has been in the shop. Spark plugs had to be replaced in 2017. In 2019, we had to replace the catalytic converter. Last time we took it in bc of engine light on, timing belt had problems, several valves needed replacing, & a host of other annoying problems. And every time the check engine light came on, the car would shake once we would go above 40mph. It was the strangest thing. Avoid this car at all costs. Never again will we buy GMC!

Maintenance nightmare

It’s been in the shop about every 3 months for something. It started with Ignition coils , plugs and wires now timing chain and the transmission has never had power or response . The little things are the recalls The positives are size, comfortable and seems safe like a small tank with the all wheel drive and wide base

.Very unreliable car. I have had for over 3 years now with the folliwng problems. Steering gear box needed to be replced. Purge soleniod (part of exhaust system) needed to be replaced, leak in monn roof, had to replace two struts at $50k miles, had to replace the transmission at 55k miles. Worst car I have ever owned. Response from GM has been poor at best. They could care less about customer satisfaction. Will never buy a GM prodict again
