We went from a 15' Traverse that was well equipped and loaded to our liking. Only reason we moved out of it was the mileage and the depreciation value once you enter said mileage. We chose to go with the 18' GMC Acadia because we did not like the new look or feel of the new Traverse's. We test drove one and it was awful. They are strikingly similar to the Ford Explorers as well - no thank you. Anyway - we loved the look and feel of the Acadia! It's been an ok ride - not one I would purchase ever again. Ours is currently at the dealer with a whole list of problems! Back window leaking, cup holders popped or never installed correctly, the dash in the windshield area popping up when it gets hot, the recirculate air smells like wet gym socks, one door handle the wrong color and scratches we never noticed when we took delivery until after I took it through the car wash - boom, there they were. Those said scratches are near the door handle that isn't the same color of the car. Just this past week, a weird noise started when starting the car like the starter is on it's way out. The drop in value itself is absolutely sickening as well! We pay $40,000+ for these vehicles yet they darn near drop in half with as little as 5000 miles on them yet dealers are still selling them at high dollar price tags but trade in values/resale values are a joke! The auto industry is clearly robbing people, no question about it and it should be illegal what they're doing and getting away with! Conclusion - I will not ever purchase another GMC again! They're very cheaply made compared to my previous Traverse. The molding inside is very sensitive and scratches very easily which is insane considering these are suppose to be family vehicles (hello, kids....??) The rear bumper also gets scratches very easily - insanely poor quality if you ask me and GMC is suppose to be your higher end brands - not at all! Very disappointed in GM and plan to call them with all our complaints! If we have one more issue with this 2018 Acadia - next we'll be acquiring a lawyer in the event we have purchased a LEMON! I have no problem holding GM accountable and can afford to do so!

Quality made vehicle! The only issue is the newer vehicles folding mirrors don't fold in flush to the windows completely like older models

2018 Acadia needs water pump @ 5,000 miles?

My Acadia just hit 1 year old and has only 5,000 miles on it. Just got back from a cross country trip (up & back 24 hours) and the engine starts squealing. Take it to a dealership on my trip and they think it should be ok to get home, they thought it was the timing belt. Get home, turn veh into the dealership and they told me I needed my water pump replaced. What? 1 year old, 5,000 miles. Have a feeling this will be a $45,000 lemon,

Love my new 2018 Acadia except no CD player. Sirius does not work in mountain areas and listening to spotty radio sucks and no alternative music without a CD player

The road noise at highway speeds is terrible; it drowns out the radio, conversation, etc. The electronics are overly complicated. The instrumentation is helter-skelter; you really have to look to find most items. The driver's safety electronics do not work consistently, and the Owner's Manual is not helpful in telling driver what to expect and when to expect it
