After three years on a lease, we are keeping this truck. It's got everything, been reliable, and maintenance costs are low.

Great SUV alternative to a minivan

If you crossed a minivan and a luxury full-size SUV you would get the Acadia Denali. It doesn't replace either vehicle completely but comes very close in every category from driveability, utility, seating, economy, comfort, luxury, hauling, and year round traction.

Where do I start brought a 2014 Gmc Acadia Denali, because let's face it its a beautiful looking truck. However around the 50k mile marker we starting having transmission issues. Took it to the local gmc shop and they said it was nothing. Then back again around 53k, now I'm no mechanic but I know when a transmission is messed up. They basically found every which way to blame another part rather then the trans. Fast forward to 68k and low and behold the transmission goes. And as fate would have it its out of the manufacturer warranty. So the transmission was replaced took over a month with the vehicle in the shop and I get it back pull in the driveway and to my surprise the next morning my driveway is stained with transmission fluid. Get towed back to dealer for the 2nd transmission replacement. Get the car back 22 days later. And everything seems fine until I get stranded on the highway. Gas gage says full take empty. Now the radio has a mind of its own turns on and off at its own leisure. Now guess where vehicle is today back in shop with the transmission gasket in need of replacement. Along with motor mounts and the control arms. Mind you I have yet to kit 100k on this vehicle. I urge buys to stay away from this at all costs. If I can give it negative stars I would oh and p.s all the calipers had to be replaced also at around 36 thousand miles

What the hell is wrong with this "SUV"? Cheap and did I say cheap plastic interior! Looks pretty but feels like cheap plastic crap, with a shiny coat over top. I drove this vehicle as a rental for two days and was sorely disappointed. In fact this was a vehicle I was considering as my next purchase, not any longer. The transmission's response is seriously concerning. I'm not sure whether they skipped a step in assembling the vehicle's engine or if the ridiculous lazy lag is intended. I'm not surprised that so many consumers are forced to replace the transmission, as well as in the Acadia model. The transmission feels like it's going to break every time you accelerate past 40 MPH. Toyota here I come....

Purchased this vehicle with 10,000 miles from the dealership, in 2014. It had been driven by the wife of the dealership owner. With only 50,000 miles the power steering pump and steering rack needed to be replaced. Out of warranty at 36,000 miles so that cost was not covered. This is a known problem with earlier model years, with the same construction, and is the subject of a class action lawsuit. Had to replace the accelerator module. Problems with the ECM. Replaced struts, and shocks. Poor gas mileage and noisy to drive. Leather interior and other features are okay but do not offset the many mechanical problems.
