2019 Arcadia Denali was a lemon
I bought my 2019 GMC Arcadia Denali June of 2020 with 18000 miles.The 25 months or 10,000 miles I had the car in the shop more than 10 times for issues such as front suspension issue, sunroof issue,defrost never worked properly, airconditioning would work intermitently, air condition seat issues, as well as the last issue before I sold was the thermostat failed and car overheated.The car had alot of issues before it hit 28,000 miles.Luckily I was able to sell the vehicle while used car prices are high.This was the first and last GM product I will ever by.Also the shifter was replaced before I bought the car as well.

Great vehicle
It is a bit smaller than most 7 seaters, but larger than most 5 seat suvs, with better cargo space. I think it is a perfect compromise. I like that it is available with a 4 cylinder engine that gets very good mileage, for a large vehicle. It comes with pretty good options and is comfortable and roomy. When the third row is folded down it has much more cargo space than the Edge or the Grand Cherokee. Love it.

Love most things about it.
I've had my Acadia for about 1.5 years. It's a very smooth riding car and a perfect fit for my family. It has pretty much all the bells and whistles (except a few things listed below that I would expect in the top trim). I've had a few things go wrong. The transmission valve bodies had to be replaced at about 15,500 miles due to a shudder I noticed as I accelerated. Also, the drivers mirror had to be replaed as it was stuck in the tipped down position after going in reverse and then back into drive. Luckily, all that was covered under warranty. There are a few things I scratch my head about though. For example, there are no seat belt adjusters available. For someone who is only 5'4" I don't have any option to adjust the seatbelt and it cuts me across the neck. Yes, I can raise the seat but that's still not ideal for me. Also, manual folding mirrors only and no blinker in the mirrors. Really? For the top trim, I'm disappointed that these features aren't standard or even available. Those seem to be features you find in even base models on some cars/SUV's. I have about 18,200 on it now and the verdict is out on how long I'll keep it.
Great Vehicle
The ergonomics are great. It's a very comfortable ride. We are average sized people, and we have plenty of room. The safety features are helpful, and I recommend them. The touch screen controls are augmented by traditional buttons, which are all easy to use. Handling is very good. I thoroughly enjoy driving this SUV.
