Refresh Done Well

We previously drove a Buick Enclave for 5 years, so we knew what to expect with the Lambda platform which is shared between the Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave. The refresh has given this CUV what we consider a more truck like presence which appeals to both the male and female driver in our family. Fit and finish is what one would expect from GM with improvements made to the transmission in the Acadia (no more searching for gears up hills), less flashy wheel offerings and, better integrated telematics (bluetooth, nav, DVD). Overall one of the best values for the content and quality that GM now offers in this segment.
33000K miles and happy

Consumer Reports noted that this year and model could have climate control problems. In the three summers we have had the car, we did have to have the rear compressor replaced. It was covered undr warranty, so we were happy. Otherwise, we have really enjoyed having such a sturdy and safe car for our family to ride in. It is a blast driving the AWD in the snow!

We bought our AWD Acadia Denali in February, cashing in our GM rewards and trading in our 2010 Acura MDX. In 2010, we decided to trade our 2003 Acura MDX. We looked at our recent MDX and the Acadia, which we loved the looks of. Unfortunately, the cheap plastic interior was a deal breaker for us. We loved both MDX's, but the 3rd row was a joke and it didn't have enough cargo room for our family trips. We were thrilled to see the Acadia Denali redesigned for 2013! The interior is now on par with the MDX and while it's not quite as nimble or quick, it's still a lot of fun to drive. My husband and I both love this vehicle and so do the kids! It's a real eye catcher in the White Diamond, too!
Excellent all around SUV

Sunroof leaks

Only had our Acadia for 3 months rained all day one day while at work, on the way home water was leaking through one of the lights over the third row seats. It has been in the shop for a week now and STILL not fixed, spoke with the service manager today, and he is not sure when it will be ready. I read reviews from past model years that had some leaking problems, and apparently GMC has not fixed them yet.
Love My Acadia!!

Bought in 2013. Love the seating configuration and space inside. Love inside and out. Thinking it might be time for a new one. The only major con I have is the seatbelts. We have a GMC truck and the seat belts are great. This one the latch hitch is extremely hard and bulky. Reminds me of an older model. The part that is secured to the seat will not move hardly at all. It is so stiff that it can cause major damage when accidently sitting on it or trying to crawl through the back. Several gashes on the knees. The head rest curls forward to much. Wish that was a little more adjustable but understand it may be for safety purposes. Overall a great choice!

We are a family of 7, We wanted a SUV that would accommodate our family size but also be comfortable for our children while on a long drive. Needless to say, we came across the GMC Acadia, we liked the space, style and look it had but we needed something more kid friendly.. that's when we starting looking into the Acadia Denali, instantly we fell in LOVE! It was perfect not only stunning but also spacious with everything we wanted, DVD, Captain Seats, Double Sun/Moon Roofs, GPS etc, everything we could ever want, we found it in this Denali. We were even lucky enough to find it in the Pearl White color we imagined it. Its absolutely BEAUTIFUL, STUNNING AND CLASSY, its ELEGANT and GRACEFUL.. We are totally MESMERIZED by it.. Best SUV choice we could of ever made.

We bought a 2013 acadia SLT1 at the end of 2014 with 16k miles, the car was certified, which was a good thing, at around 30 k miles the steering booster pump had to be replaced, GM recall, maybe a year later, don't remember the mileage the engine module failed, but since the car was under warranty it got replaced for free, a 1200 to 1500 repair according with the dealer, about a year later, like on 2017, 1 of the day running lights went out, " THEY DONT BURN" according with the dealer, but they do, it was also replaced under warranty, the car has 65k miles today, October 2019, and there's a noticeable noise coming from the front end....I replaced all 4 struts and links, but the noise still there, I need to chase that noise a little more. Now the bright side! very comfortable, plenty of room for our family of 4, with room to spare when needed, comfortable ride, adequate power, good looking. I have to say that after all those repairs we haven't had more issues, I'm always on top as far as basic maintenance, since I do most of it, oil changes, transmission fluid changes, air filters brakes etc.

I love this car! I have had 0 issues with this car in the 7 yrs. I have had it. Plenty of room for my needs. 42K miles on it now, I still get compliments about how nice my car is. Went on a roughly 3K road trip and it was comfortable and handled the roads perfectly. I love it!
