We purchased a 2014 GMC Acadia Denali with 37k mile for my wife about a month ago. We haven’t had time to see overall reliability, but so far so good. We will be taking it on a trip this weekend that’s about a 7 hour drive and we are looking forward to it! It has plenty of space, great entertainment, great comfortablity, great handling, great interior and over all we love it! Perfect for a family of four!

2014 GMC Acadia SLE-1 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

First, good luck at actually finding anything but a base SLE1 model if you actually need an 8 passenger AWD vehicle. The dealer searched and there were no SLE2, SLT's, or Denali AWD 8 passengers (or Buick Enclave's) within 500 miles on dealer lots and nothing in the production queue without having to wait for a special order (at much less of a discount). But after driving a 7 passenger Denali, we are glad we just took a base SLE as there really isn't that much to justify the 14k difference in price and huge difference in residual value. The problem is with the premium trims like Denali, there's really not that much 'Luxury' to justify the price difference.

This was my wife’s favorite car. It was the perfect size and had everything she wanted in an SUV. On her way to work, she rear ended a truck that was stopped half on/half off the road while she was traveling at 55mph. The impact was a partial front collision, one of the worst possible types. The front of the car folded completely absorbing the impact and all airbags deployed. The engine and transmission stayed perfectly in place. The passenger compartment was completely intact. All of the doors still open. While the car was a total loss, my wife and my children’s mother was unharmed. We will replace this car with an identical one.
Update #2.

I bought this 2014 Acadia in June 2014. In less then 12 months the oil filter mount cracked and leaked a lot of oil on my garage floor, the rear evaporator leaked and both were replaced under warranty. Then the right engine mount broke in 2015 and the rear evaporator leaked again out of warranty. They charged me $1000 and admitted their vendor was shipping faulty units. I argued this with GMC customer service and they gave me a gift certificate for $500 to only be spent in their accessories catalog. There was nothing on the Acadia page that anybody would want or I needed. Junk. Gas gauge has never read correctly and transmission has a lag that causes it to clunk laud enough to startle. Update: October 2019 the evaporator failed again. Now I just add R134A coolant myself and it’s good for 5 months. Suspension has a clunk on the right side. Dealer said it was a motor mount again and gave up and left. It sounds like a coil over unloading and snapping back into place in right rear. Forward collision warning sensor died. This is usually caused by a computer malfunction that is very expensive to repair. 9/3/2020: forward collision Warning repaired its self! While turning left the transmission goes slack then re-engages with a clank when I get back on the gas. The rear (aux) evaporator problem finally has a cause. It’s not poor workmanship. The failures are now known as bi metallic corrosion caused by micro level copper dust from the fan being blown into the evap. The fix is to replace the evaporator with an OEM part but the fan motor with a “sealed” after market motor. That means you can’t get it fixed at the dealer. Update 3/3/2022. No failures, however the suspension is very noisy. Inspection can find no problems. Aux evaporator is still faulty and I add 12 oz of 134A coolant every 6 months and it runs like new. Otherwise it’s a $1500 fix.

I bought my GMC Acadia Denali brand new and within the year the AC went out. Both the front the the rear evaporaters. They supposedly fixed it under warranty. It worked for a year and then went out again. They said they fixed it again, but I think they just added Freon because it went out again. I’m on the 5th time taking it in, but it’s not under warranty. They told me they couldn’t find anything wrong with it. I would not recommend the Acadia or traverse. I have friends who have the same issues with both cars.
