Bought this car used in 2021.

Bought this car used in 2021..ran ok for a year. Then in the summer of 2022 my timing chain went put. Cost 6 grand to fix. Fixed It then it went out again. Had it fixed a 2nd time. 3rd time it broke and damaged my engine. Put a new engine in it and with in a few months the engine would misfire like crazy. Then my throttle body went out. Then the catalytic converter went out. Had multiple body problems with the lateral arms going bad. Get a 1999 tahoe. Way better. Don't get this car if you value your money. Avoid at all costs.

Terrible

I bought this car used only had 100,00 miles on it. Was Soo sharp looking nice n clean on the inside. Sooo spacious!! I absolutely loved that I always had room for everybody!! My kids and my friends kids always had plenty of room!! Other then that this is by far been the worst car I have ever owned!! I am still pissed off at myself for not walking past this price of xxxx!! I think I have replaced everything you can think of on it and right now it's not even staying started! I've had it to 7 diff mechanics and none can seem to figure it out!! I have had it 3 years and I just had to finally stop putting money in it and get another car because it was drowning me n repair costs!!! One of thee worst mistakes I could have made was buying that suv!! Good luck

Nothing but problems

I have this vehicle worse mistake ever. Looks good from the outside nice inside but after having it 3 months had to out a new timing chain, the AC needs to be replace. Power steering pump is on its way out. Just locks on you . got the warranty but still DOESNT cover everything . only good thing is before the power steering started up I had enough room for my kids and their friends . that's the only good thing about it. Might look sharp looking but JUST take a picture and walk by ... I hate it. Nothing but issues since I got it. Time to get rid of it costing me to much to fix

One of the worst cars I've ever owned

I bought the car used and have since had to replace the engine twice and noe the airbags deployed from hitting a pothole and the seatbelts are locked. Pricey repair bills

I like the back up camera inside the rear view mir

Test drive before you buy.....so far it's good but it's expensive for gas to fill up was $70. And city plates is $301 and also the car is heavier than the ford explorer that's why everything is so expensive

Most unreliable vehicle I’ve ever owned!!!

This vehicle is really disappointing to me. I’ve invested more money in it than it’s worth. I will definitely be selling or trading it in.

Nice vehicle

This vehicle is exactly what I wanted. The exterior is a beautiful pearl white color and exterior is in mint condition. It has little to no prior issues with it.

Worst vehicle ever owned!!!

My mother bought this car used. Within the first month has to replace the engine. She has had to replace just about ever part under the hood. Some things several times. She keeps having to have work repeated over and over again on this vehicle. With the amount of money she has had to drop on this vehicle it could have done been paid off! Her engine isn’t 2 years old and blew up again. Mechanic says these vehicles are known for nothing but problems! Will never buy a gmc again!

Car Repairs

I bought my 2010 GMC Acadia about a year and a half ago. I really like it if it worked all the time. I had to have the air conditioner worked on. The dealer fixed the front but was going to cost $700. So I have no air in the back. It stopped in the middle of the road. It was the alternator. I’ve had it in the shop 3 times for the power steering pump. I have to take it back again for the same reason. I’m a single woman and I need a reliable vehicle. I don’t have money to put in it any more. I’m very dissatisfied.

Great comfort for a large family

The 2010 GMC Acadia is timeless. The design, feel, and ride make it seem like a much newer car. It has been very reliable to me and my family for the past seven years. It is still in great shape, is perfectly roadworthy now… And needs just a little work with the timing chain and axel.
