Defective Acadia

Ok, this is my second Post. When we first got the Acadia it was great. But 3 weeks after we bought it. The Stability Control System and the Antilocking Braking System went out on us. That's when things got ugly. We took it back to the dealer and that's where it's been for the last 2 weeks working on the 3rd week. They can't tell us what's wrong with our vehicle. We have a brand new Acadia and can't drive it. All the dealer can say is that they are working with GMC and doing all they can to fix the issues. Not feeling too good about the GMC product right now.

No Engine Breaking

I recently purchased a 2010 Acadia, and it is already in the dealership. I noticed that when I am going up a hill and in drive, release my foot from the brake, the car rolls continuously backward without stopping. Same thing when I am on a decline with the car in reverse, the car rolls forward. The dealer said that this was "normal" however when compared to another acadia it did not do this. Also, the dealer also said that there is no engine breaking available in that model when it is in reverse. I consider this a pretty big safety hazard considering I have to floor it to get up a hill without hitting the guy behind me.

Happy with purchase

About 3,500 miles in 3 months on my AWD SLT 1 and am thus far quite happy with the purchase. Am getting just over the EPA rated gas mileage (mostly city driving) but mileage goes down quickly if running stop & go errands. Still, this is a large vehicle that gets far better mileage than many Crossovers and SUVs of similar size. Great interior design with exception of the complaint in suggested improvements. Biggest complaint is the shifting. Prior year models had issues, so 2010 was reprogrammed. It still needs improvement as it hunts at slow speeds. Engine braking is very noticeable when downshifting at slow speed. My prior GM vehicle did not have this issue.

Just bought the 2010 Acadia as a gift for my wife. We love the vehicle, it handles smooth, hugs the road, has a little get up and go when needed. Glad we added this vehicle to our garage.

Exactly What I Wanted

Very Pleased, 10/28/2009

I’m very pleased thus far. Easy to park, feels to be the right size overall. I have only 900 miles on it so far, took one long trip (700 miles) up & down desert mountain Interstates at 75-80MPH and averaged 22MPG. On a local freeway, mostly level at 70-75 I saw a high of 26MPG but mostly 24+ so as they say “Your mileage may vary.” Engine & transmission work very well. If you nail the throttle getting on the freeway and let the engine/trans do their thing, there’s plenty of power to get on the freeway that may result in a big ticket. The dash & controls are laid out very well. I have found no flaws in the paint or trim fit. I am very pleased & will update when I get more miles on it.
