I purchased this vehicle because I had other friends who claimed they loved theirs. The convenience of the captain seats in the center was a major bonus. I feel the vehicle rides smooth, a bit small for my husband. That is the ONLY good thing about this vehicle. After hitting around 90k miles I have had nothing but problems. Cam shaft actuator misfires and ruined the timing belt - 3 times - in the matter of 2 years. I paid the first time at 2,000, the other 2 times were covered under the dealerships warranty. Not to mention they had my vehicle for close to a month and half because no dealership around could figure out what was wrong with it. Next issue.... my hatch randomly pops open. I will be driving and I hear it clicking like it wants to open while I'm driving! I have to have my oil changed every 1,500 miles or it starts "acting funny". Now, to top it off, my engine is leaking oil internally, therefore ruining the catalytic converter, and will randomly leave me stranded reading a code across the dashboard that the 'Engine Power Is Reduced'. This problem alone is 6,500.....without the cost of labor. My vehicle isn't even worth that much for a trade in. Quite frankly I feel like there are more problems than I could even mention, I would sit here writing a novel. Such a shame because it is a sharp looking vehicle with great commodities if it was reliable. I hope this helps someone looking at purchasing one of these vehicles, please do your research before getting into a money pit!!!!

Constant Problems

Unfortunately, one week after purchasing my GMC Acadia SLTII, one of the tires blew out and had to be replaced. It has gotten no better. This car gets the worse gas mileage of any vehicle I have ever owned. It gets less than 14 mpg, and is costing me an arm and a leg. The transmission constantly slips, and it has been in the shop for a broken water pump, non-cooling air conditioner and problems with the DVD player. The dealer has been very helpful upon each instance, however, I am sure they are getting tired of having to get me rental cars regularly since the car, still under warranty, is in the shop all of the time. I can't wait to get rid of this car, and will never buy GMC again.
Beats a Cadalliac SRX Hands Down

I've owned two Acadias now. A 2008 and a 2010. The 2008 was nice but I did not like the drive train. The 2010 is flat out amazing in terms of being in the right gear under stressful conditions. In a word, the vehicle is snappy. My wife and I absolutely love it. I recently drove an AWD Cadalliac SRX for a week in Michigan and while it was nice, the drive train was like my 2008 Acadia... slow to respond to throttle inputs. Really frustrating when you are in a SITUATION that requires immediate attention. Our 2010 Acadia would smoke the 2010 SRX in drivability tests. Our MPG is 18-20 depending on our driving mix. We've had it for 6 months.
Worst GM Car Ever and Last

I bought this Acadia new off the dealer's lot at the end of 2010 and thought I got a great deal. It now has 70K miles. Between recalls and service bulletins it's been in the shop close to 15 times. Since December alone, it's been in 5 times. First, for a Service Bulletin to replace a timing chain, then every two weeks since for some other trouble code or fault. GM should be ashamed to have their logo on this car. I've asked for a full refund due to the failure of the engineering not living up to the "Professional Grade" motto, but been laughed at. I've been a GM fan for 40 years and am now selling everything GM I won because GM has failed to make this right. Never again.
