I bought the car on a promise that they would fix the vibration problem, which seemed to be related to tires. The car gives you a chair massage as you drive, like a tire is out of balance. Car also pulled to the right. First trip, replaced one tire and aligned wheels. "car fixed"!!! Drove home still vibration problem but not as bad, car still pulled to right. Second Trip, re-balanced tires, second alignment. "car fixed". Drove home, pull is gone, car handles great. Still have vibration, although better than before. Am doing some trouble shooting myself before returning for third trip to dealer. Hopefully, I'll get to driver it to somewhere besides the dealership 50 miles away.

I had a 2012 Subaru Outback that had terrible engine problems - head gasket at 69k and a blown engine (threw a rod and spun a bearing) at 81k - despite regular oil changes and strict adherence to the maintenance schedule. I needed to get into a vehicle that is good in the snow and would have a useable third row (for my older teen children). I looked at the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander, but their 3rd row seats are useless. I know a few people that have GMC Acadias and love them. I did some research and settled on the 2016. I picked up my 2016 SLT-1 2 weeks ago and am really glad I chose this vehicle. First off, my kids love the car and the ride. They love the amount of space they have in both the rear and the third row - so much more than my old Outback. The ride is very comfortable - it soaks up the bumps on the road really great. When I was researching this vehicle I noted a few important things - the Acadia and the Ford Explorer both have 3rd row seats however, the GMC seats are much easier to fold down - which is really handy when you're trying to load groceries or other items. The Nav has road alerts which is really nice. The back up camera image is large and crisp. If you want blind spot warnings, you have to make sure your vehicle is equipped with it. I think it may only be available on the Denali trim level in this model year - I wasn't aware of that when I bought the vehicle, but I'm okay with that. I found that it drives like a big car rather than a truck. This is really impressive to me since it's such a roomy vehicle. It's really bright inside with the twin sunroofs. My kids like that they can listen to a different radio station than I am. The air conditioning gets cold really fast even in hot weather. It doesn't have Apple Carplay - something I'm also okay with. Even though it's a couple of years old, it still has a decent amount of tech in it to make it interesting. I can't wait to take it in the snow. Update: June 2021. Still love this car. I have had a couple of items that I've needed repaired but overall this is a great all around vehicle - carries people and cargo great. I've gotten up to 25+ mpg on the highway if I don't put my foot into it too much (and keep it on cruise). I plan on keeping this for a long time to come. My husband just told me yesterday it's probably the best vehicle I've ever owned.

After 25 years of buying and driving non-american cars, I decided to give the US a try. I bought a 2016 GMC Acadia SLT. Loved the middle aisle to the 3rd row, leather seats, drove very smooth. The past 2 years major items started to fail. The first major issue was the power steering pump failed - a $500. Then both front and rear AC failed due to leaks - $4000. Now the transmission is starting to slip. NEVER AGAIN BUY US CAR. They are just not ready yet.
