Nice looking vehicle. We are satisfied with the Acadia so far with two pieces of advice. Look for the squeaking brake pedal. As may be noted in many threads it indicates a problem with the booster and replacement is the fix. Ours needed a master cylinder too, completed at time of purchase. Also despite it's appearance the ground clearance is low and it regularly contacts the undercarriage (rails) on speed bumps and driveways

This Acadia is my first (and sadly my last) American car. I've never had a car have so many problems in my life. It has been at the dealer being repaired more than I can count ever since we purchased it. It has had numerous problem relating to the electrical, cooling, and fuel systems. With the amount of money I've spent repairing this car, I could have purchased a much nicer German or Japanese car and not had the hassle.

For our new car, we were going to test drive an edge at ray seraphin ford, but when they wouldn't let us because there was snow on top of the car (:0), we decided to go right next door to Scranton GMC. I fell in love with it as soon as we drove it off of the lot because of all the features as well as smoothness of the ride! A few months later, after driving every other comparable car, we decided on the acadia! Ever since Hallowee 2011, we have taken the beloved acadia everywhere, and racked up 16,000 miles, all without ONE problem(except for one onstar issue, but that wasn't the car's fault). The GMC acadia fits any family like a new member and is the best crossover/ SUV choice out there!!!!
Transmission/Acceleration issues

Size, features, extras all were a perfect match for me and my family. We have 2 kids, now entering grade school, so the extra seat for carpool and their stuff was great, yet the car drives more like a minivan than a large SUV. Unfortunately, I've had the car for 3 months, the transmission seems to slip and jerk constantly and now, the most scary part - while accelerating from stop, the car sometimes takes 5 seconds to engage. This is 5 seconds for another car to T-Bone you in an intersection. My good wife dealt with it for several months, I experienced it myself this last week. Working with the dealer to return now.
Great for towing!
