2017 GMC Acadia Denali 4dr SUV (3.6L 6cyl 6A)
2 of 3 people found this review helpful
Horn does not operate with normal driver pressure. Requires two hands. Try that when you NEED it. A definite safety issue that the dealer recognized but could not fix. No fix from GM. Needs to be recalled. Other Denalis on the lot were the same, and this problem has been reported by several others and also to the NHTSA.

Bought my dream car I have always wanted beginning of April 2020. On April 25 i started smelling anti-freeze inside the car (wth).. then on May 29 I turn my car off to get out and it is continuing to tell me to shift my car to park. I looked at the shiftter and its in park so i start it put it in drive then in park again, turn the car off and its telling me again to shift to park. i sat there for 15min until finally it recognized my car was in park. I had to spend the entire wkend dealing with this. called dealership monday morning to explain my problems and the women tells me oh yeah that is a known issue.. Are you kidding me.. my car has been at the dealership since monday at 11:30am and its friday at 10am and i get the call that your car needs a new heater core and a entire new shift assembly and the this is not covered under your warranty and its $1200.... i have had this car 4wks and have not even made my first car payment.. after flipping out and having a melt down GM offered to pay 50% and the dealership picked up the other 50%.. little does GM know im trading this in as soon as its fixed. bye GM cars. i had non stop issues with my equinox and now my acadia.. DONE

Someone should be fired

2017 GMC Acadia SL 4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

A 2 ton vehicle with a 4 cylinder? Someone at GM must have been dropped on their head. If I was the CEO and drove this car, I would literally fire the person that made this decision. Even more maddening is that the terrible 4 cylinder has an auto stop/start feature that you CANNOT disable. The seats are terrible. No lumbar support and no adjustment. You can either crank the seat up and forward or down and back. But as a tall person that needs it to be back all the way but up higher it’s incredibly uncomfortable. Power driver's seat and power lift gate should be standard equipment in 2017. The instrument cluster information screen has this eco index thing that makes no sense and is useless. Apple CarPlay is nice when it works but it constantly starts music automatically with no way to disable this. Also if you put a podcast on for example, as much as 5 minutes later the system might decide you should be listening to music on its own and switch it automatically. It happens just about every day. Some bugs to work out there. Calling this vehicle an SUV is really unfair to other real SUVs. The new Acadia is basically a minivan that is slightly higher than the average minivan. It’s really low to the ground. The cockpit feels like you're driving a sedan. It's narrow and feels small and tight. My wife and I have 2 other SUVs and both are higher off the ground than this. Cargo space is good when the 3rd row is down. When it is up, there is no cargo space. Oh, and if you wanted a roof rack the SL doesn't come with one so be prepared to buy your own. I really can’t say enough about how much I dislike this vehicle. It rides and handles fine but it definitely seems like they spared every expense. It’s a company vehicle so I just pay fringe benefit taxes, but that is just about where the accolades end. Some days it hardly seems worth it.

Nice...but missing niceties

Love the MPG and power. However the Denali trim at 50k dollars is missing rain sensor wipers, turn signal bulbs in side view mirrors , and the most glaring omission of all is no light in cargo area. I used my cell phone flashlight recently to unload cargo in the evening. At this price point GM should re think their lack of niceties. Long term review...still get compliments on ride at 35k and still on same tires and brakes....but do miss rain sensor wipers and locking storage place. Update Oct 2020....40k and running great...just replaced tires and dealer said brakes not needed yet. Still miss having a locking glove box and decent trunk lighting.
