Early Front Camera Failure

Barely over 18,000 miles, out of warranty, and the front camera failed. Cost was $1,080 to fix. Sometimes when braking or accelerating, the transmission makes the Acadia lurch. Not often, but annoying when it does. Bought an extended warranty in addition to the repair bill since I have totally lost faith in GM and their lack of quality. The warranty will give me another four years bumper to bumper, but what a shame to have to do this. Warranty supervisor had his salesman try to convince me to buy a Honda, telling me it's known for reliability. They sell both brands. They offered me less than half what I paid for the Acadia on a trade, due to how fast this vehicle depreciates. And the Honda is sluggish. The Acadia zooms when you ask it to. So putting that into perspective, I think investing in an extended warranty was a better option. The only way I could post this review was to select the incorrect model, as Edmunds didn't show what I actually own: the Acadia SLT 6 cylinder 3.6L turbo 2-wheel drive.

Like the title says, this vehicle is comfortable for the driver and the 6 passengers on board. As a passenger, you can take a nap or take in the ride!

The Acadia works for general and work use—good travel vehicle with ride, room, and handling.
