Great SUV!!

2021 GMC Acadia SLE 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 9A)

I've had this SUV for 10 months now with about 9000 miles. One of the best riding vehicles I've ever owned (I've owned over 20 vehicles). I have the 2.0 Turbo engine which has plenty of power and great gas mileage. On a trip to Ocean City traveling at about 70mph for about 500 miles I average over 34 mpg. Transmission shifts smoothly. Vehicle is excellent during winter driving (live in the Western New York snow belt area).

Dangerous Cruise Control/Braking issue

When driving in Adaptive Cruise control, if you are on a curve or if a car in the right lane is going slower than you are, the Car will apply Brakes and bring you to the speed of the slow car. I have had it go from 75 to 50 almost immediately. also, when slowing up for a speed zone, you must not hold down the - reduce button on the cruise control. It will drop in 5 mph increments before you can release the button causing the Brakes to apply suddenly. Brakes are also very noisy....My Acadia has 5400 miles and sounds like the brake pads are worn out. Dealer says it is normall.

The Best Car I ever Bought!

I just acquired a 2021 GM Acadian AT4 and there isn’t a single feature I don’t like in the car. It is peppy, it has multiple mode options, a fantastic interior and entertainment system, great towing capability, smooth ride, comfortable ac system, beautiful double moonroof, etc., this car is amazing! I really thank GM for making me feel good every day!

With 600 plus miles, so far we like this vehicle. After reading about the transmission problems it makes me a little apprehensive. Just this morning wife called and said there was jerk in the trans shifting. I hope it's just her getting use to the front wheel drive. Time will tell.
