will NOT buy another GMC

GMC HATCHETT stinks GMC Really sucks Neither of the above stand behind the LEMON they sold me. Too many service visits to fix workmanship: new radiator, ac not cool, tires falling apart, elec issues that would not allow the car to be locked or stay locked, list goes on.

GMC, Acadia Denali, stay away from them.

So, get ready to spend $$$$. Do not leave car under direct sun if you have a sunroof. The heat bends the track and when you open the sunroof, it will break. Cost over $2,000 dollars. Thermostat, oh boy. To replace this one, get ready to pay over $1,400 dollars. Actuator on driver side and passenger side, cheap material. Vehicle only has 55 thousand miles, from 2017, both gone, over $800 dollars to fix. Transmission leak, again cheap materials, $1,400 dollars to fix. This is a vehicle with only 55 thousand miles, garaged and driven low mileage yet all these $$$$$$$$$$ coming out of the pocket. GMC, garbage, basura. No more for me, next I am going Toyota, or Mazda. Heck my 2023 Kia Sorento, first edition that came out, lasted me over 15 years with no issues.

Good car only some issues

Have had lots of problems with the wheel sensors. New tires and new sensors and still have the same issue. Shows tire low and it is not. Just car not even two years the air conditioning would not blow out cold air. The compressor in the back went out, need to be replaced. Side car waring lights come on sometimes even though no car anywhere near me. Fold in mirrors are a joke the driver side comes in and out, however the passenger side sticks. Dealer said yeah that happens. This car is garage kept!

No comparison

I am 84 years of age therefore I have owned several automobiles and cannot compare any other that I have owned to this Acadia. It has been the best overall transportation I have ever owned!

Perfect Size Car

This is the perfect sized car for me with 3rd row seating. When not in use the 2nd and 3rd rows lay down for extra storage. I like the exterior size too. It’s easy to maneuver in and out of parking.

Driver side wide roll roof bar

Drivers visibility impaired due to huge roof bar, have to look around to make left turns, annoying and dangerous, scary when you realize you cant see!

Love my 2017 Acadia

This car met all my needs and more. I love all the features, remote start, remote trunk release, blind spot detection, leather seats, and heated seats, just to name a few.

It's a great car but has many issues

The car drives great and is very comfortable. It has electrical and mechanical issues. It broke down several times since I bought it when it had only 45K miles. Now it's about 70K and already replaced many parts.
