Beautiful truck but consistent problems

While I LOVE the look and features of my Acadia Denali it always seems to have a problem. Mostly electrical. It’s been in the shop a few times already for the same issues. Traction control ABS turns off. service stabilitrak and airbag memos. And runs like crap; shaking like it has bad gas. Which it does not. Don’t know if this is a common problem but I’m very disappointed since I again LOVE the look and features of my vehicle.

Mileage is a Joke!

This vehicle was sold with EPA estimate of 17 city and 22 highway. We have about 10,000 miles on the vehicle, and are averaging around 14 or 15 city (have never gotten close to 17), and have yet to get over 19 MPG on the highway. Don't believe the EPA estimates on this vehicle! In addition, on the highway, it's under-powered. If you have cruise set at 75, it will slow down to around 70 before it downshifts. This results in a constant "leap frog" with other vehicles on the highway. Looks decent, but other than that, I regret this purchase.

I've had my 2013 Acadia for about 4 weeks. Great car. Very comfortable and easy to drive. Intell-link easy to use with very short learning curve. Gas milage is slightly better than advertised. Much better looking than the previous Acadia. I would recommend this car to anyone!

This was much more comfortable to drive than I expected. It handles well and the seat can be raised so it is comfortable even for us short folks
