Love my Acadia - minus a few quirks

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.

I bought a 2015 Acadia slt in March 2018 with 75000 miles on it. Not being new I expected to have the occasional repair. Right off the bat the transmission was slipping between 2nd and third to the tune of 1000 to 1500 rpm’s. It would literally throw you forward when it did it as if you hammered the brakes. Luckily it was still under the now defunct 5 year 100000 mile warranty. Getting it fixed under warranty is a story for another time. The ac has been a problem the last few years of ownership. This car chews up and spits out bearings like no one’s business as well. I could go on but the moral of the story is gm could have made a really good vehicle with this car. I will likely turn to another car manufacturer before buying another gm product 2015 or newer.

Nothing but problems with our 2015 Acadia. It’s in the shop 3-4 times a year. Expensive repairs that need redone multiple times.

We were shopping for a SUV that would be able to tow a 4500 boat. We came very close in buying an Acadia until we looked at the competitiion. We chose a new 2015 Dodge Durango Limited because it offered significantly more options for the money and better towing capacity. The Durango also scored better in the Consumer Report ratings as well.
