2007 GMC Acadia consumer reviews

the ride is comfortable and we can fit all of the kids in without any problem. The only problem I have it the fan for the heat/ac seems to make an odd whirring noise. Overall, I love my car.

I have read the negative and I am sorry for all of you with Acadia trouble. I got mine brand new in 2007 and have never thought twice about it. It is the best vehicle I have ever owned and I have had more than 20. It is a great design inside and out, remote start and backup alarm for the blind spots. I always take pristine care of my vehicles and keep them up like brand new, so this one looks and even smells new although it is 3 years old. I would recommend these to anyone with a family or to a single mother or father, as they are designed for convenience to get to the 3rd row seats and can carry quite a lot of cargo as well. Happy motoring everyone!!!!

Wife's car fully loaded AWD. In the shop too much! 47K on it now. Left wife stranded at least 4 times & 2 times so dead onstar wouldn't work, had sticker in window so called from cell phone. In shop over a month straight on 1 occasion. Thought problems were due to the sunroof leak, so accepted that as final fix around 30K. At 37K back in the shop, again at 40K, 44K & 46K. Intermittent DVD problems since 8K, figured certain DVD's, after warranty expired got worse. Last problem water leaking in car at side windows, fix was $110 to adjust the alignment on doors & car has never been off road! All maintenance/repairs by GM dealer. Problem before that key wouldn't come out of the ignition, chaffed wire $150. Problem before that car wouldn't start, faulty engine sensor $250, sensor not covered under power train warranty, but negotiated that a bit due to all the prior problems (cost would've been $500). Problems began as: raw fuel smell in car when started on cold mornings (fixed but don't know what fix was), then starting problems, wipers would come on w/o reason, back wiper wouldn't shut off, traction control goes on/off w/o reason, car wouldn't turn off for a few minutes even w/Key removed! This car is an awesome car & it is a great overall design, roominess, way the center seats fold up for access to rear seats, love the heads up display & on-star. If car was more reliable it would be the best mid-sized SUV. We like it so much that we have dealt with all these problems, but at this point we are planning on replacing it. Been looking, but ACADIA still has the best overall design. Honestly feel like we are downgrading comforts to get something more reliable. Dislikes - all the mechanical/electrical problems, chrome around vents (too much glare on sunny days), DVD blocks rear view mirror, when it goes into traction control mode it makes weird noises. We'd be willing to try another ACADIA if GM acted like they cared & was going to give a reasonable price off of another, but it seems in even newer model reviews they haven't fixed the problems. Driven vehicles with better handling and performance. Almost put a 1 star overall, due to the reliability, but GMC did do a very good job of the design, has more interior room than most competitors with larger vehicles. Possibly one w/o a sunroof would be a good model but given the door adjustments needed at 47K...UGGGH!

I loved the look of the car and the inside of it is great for 2 kids BUT it has stayed in the shop ALOT. It had problems with a sunroof leak and not cranking for months. Lots of noise with steering wheel. OVERALL I love the comfort of the car but can not say it has been the best experience with performance.

I have had this vehicle for almost 2 years now and I have absolutely LOVED every minute of driving it. Extremely comfortable, stylish, and functional. Highly recommend.

I love my Acadia. It is a dream on the highway. Navigation and onstar are great. The only problem is that the dealer cannot stop the whining in my power steering.

I researched and speced out this vehicle before ordering. It does not have the navagation system or the towing package, but has every other option! I have owned it less than 2 years and it has been in the shop more times than I care to discuss. At 13,000 miles the transmission gears had to be replaced. I live in a flat area and have never towed anything, doesn't even have a trailer hitch. The repairs have ranged from minor to serious and many in between. I am currently waiting on new front fender liners since they have discovered a "design" flaw in the factory liners under the hood. When it rains (I live in Louisiana where it rains all the time!) the liners do not prohibit road water from splashing on the belts causing them to slip. As in alternator belt, etc. I have had electrical problems, mechanical problems, cosmetic (aka plastic cover) problems, safety (aka seat belt) problems and now I am having "temper" problems. My vehicle has 19,601 miles and I have no more confidence in it than a 10 year old Hyundia whoopdie!! If you are car shopping - buy an import!! You will be more likely to get your money's worth!

I have read the reviews on this site and most are favorable. I am not happy with my Acadia. The amount of money that I spent to get a tope of the line car and I only get average performance. The car has been in the shop more times than I care to talk about. After only 3,000 miles I noticed the front end had a popping noise as if the axle were breaking into pieces. I was told it was the strut supports and that the problem had been corrected. It has been in the shop three times since with the same complaint and they tell me they can not recreate the problem. Good thing this is only a lease. THe car shakes as if it is going to die at red lights. I have complained about this several times only to be told they can not recreate the problem. After spending nearly 45,000.00 on a vehicle I would expect near perfection. I have gotten far from it. Boy do I miss my Expedition.

Constantly in the service department shuts off making right turns for no reason. This car has been nothing but a nightmare and has caused so much stress in our family and could of killed our family. We have a replacement Acadia car and that breaks down as well this one waited till longer to do it around 6900km it does the same thing shuts off while I am turning right on highways. Luckily no one has been behind me. No one knows how to resolve the problem. It won't show up on the diagnostic machine so they don't know whats causing it. We will never buy another GM again.

My wife and I have lived with this SUV for six months and really like it. What a great road car! The miles pass and you don't get tired. On a recent trip of 200 miles I reset the trip computer at the start and couldn't believe the avg. mpg when I drove into my driveway (25.7mpg). For a 2 1/2 ton SUV on regular I thought that was great. We retired a '99 Lexus RX300 with 140K and shopped the Acadia against a new RX350 and a Nissan Marano. I've read the complaints about the trans, but I also understand that the engine is barely turning over in sixth gear at 60mph and that's how you can get great gas mileage. It still troubles my wife and GM I understand will reprogram the shift points, but if this alters the mpg in a negative way I'm not sure I want this done. My big complaint is NO BACKUP CAMERA!! option on the '07 model--Inexcusable! I only hope GM will offer a retro kit if you've got the NAV option. BTW the HUD is fantastic. I love the way it intergrates with the NAV system and projects your up comming turn with a decreasing bar graph and an arrow showing the direction of turn--NEAT!
