2015 GMC Acadia SLT-2 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
6 of 7 people found this review helpful
I purchased this car brand new 3 years ago. In the time I have owned it the ac has gone out twice, to the tune of $4000 of work in 3 years. The first time was picked up by the GMC warranty. This time I fortunately had an extended warranty that covered everything. There's no reason this should happen to a vehicle so new. Also about a month ago the Bluetooth stopped working. You can manually connect after several tries but it will no longer automatically connect to my phone. The tech from our local dealer couldn't find a problem he said. Very poor value for the cost of this vehicle.

It started falling apart from the plastics decorations inside from the start. The support at the dealer was not as I expected owning a prior Nissan were I got treated real good is not easy. My problem started at 90,000 miles the veihcle jumps when shifting into reverse. I told 3 different GMC dealerships the problem. I was told to do a transmission oil change, which I did to no avail. Later I was told by my insurance adjuster the 2015 has a power train warranty that protects it. Well that would have been nice if one of the three dealers would have seen into the issue before the 100,000. At that point I had passed it by 5 miles. To add to my review the AC has gone out since last year and my AMP has gone out causing the radios, blinkers and voice on the GPS to not work. I read other reviews seems they are common problems.

Our 2015 Arcida engine light came on at 38,000 miles just like someone planned it, WINK WINK! So after owning a 2009 Terrian I checked the oil......Same old story...oil was at least a quart low, oil was due to be changed but where did the oil go. Just like the 4 cylinder GMC the engine light pops on oil low here we go again, internal oil burn. Dealer actually told me they are suppose to burn oil because of overhead cam....after lots of arguments with GM we traded the Terrian in on the Arcadia. Here we go again......STAY AWAY FROM GMC SMALL ENGINES!!!!

2015 GMC Acadia Denali 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 6A)

I leased my 2015 Acadia Denali 3 years ago and I have lots to praise about this vehicle. Superbly enjoyable ride, great power and comfort on the road. Comfortable seats and roomy cabin. I don't know what vehicle the user that complained about the headrests is driving, perhaps they haven't figured out how to adjust them back? Or they have a newer model? Non issue for me. This car really lacks almost nothing, kids love the dvd system. Bose sound quality is very enjoyable, second only to an aftermarket system. I have hauled more stuff around in this car and have always had plenty of room to do it - even with two car seats in the middle-row captains chairs. Downsides, not as great on gas as I'd hoped - I average 18 mpg with lots of mixed city/freeway driving, bumper to bumper traffic and I drive a LOT. Navigation is quirky, voice activation far too slow to use - I'm impatient so I use google maps instead. Headphones that came with the car for the rear dvd system have never worked properly - despite changing batteries and fiddling with them constantly. This is super minor and I don't know if this is an iPhone thing, but every time I plug my phone into the USB - the music starts playing always on the same song. Alphabetically. DRIVES ME NUTS. So I use the ac/plug-in w/bluetooth for music instead. The reviewer who mentioned that the front collision warning is overly sensitive is correct - it often beeps from overpass shadows. Minor complaint for me, once I got over the heart palpitations it can cause. Very clear backup camera, love the alerts although it's made me a lazy driver lol. Love the heads up display and blindspot monitors. I've found the controls for audio, settings and all else (except Navi) very easy to use. Have had virtually no maintenance issues - minus a recent scare with the AC unit turning up low on freon this beginning of this summer, mechanic says if it happens again I may have to repair it to the tune of $800-900. Yikes. I really haven't owned it long enough to comment on the long term reliability - but this is my third lease and the first one with near zero maintenance headaches. All-in-all, I absolutely love my Acadia. I plan to turn it in at the end of my lease because I really want something a little smaller/more nimble and I need better gas mileage, the AC thing also has me a bit concerned - but if fuel economy is not an issue for you, I highly recommend this vehicle.

The transmission shift patterns are not up to par! Very Laggy! Will rev to 6K when shifting from 4th to 5th! Dealer says everything is normal.
