  Satisfied Customer - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By spervman - February 15 - 8:14 pm

  I am 31 years old and this is the 3rd straight GM vehicle that I have owned. Bout my first one at 17. The Acadia is known for issues with its transmission, roof leaks, etc. I have to say that I have been 100% satisfied with mine. The only recommendation that I can think of would be to improve the mpg. I currently average about 18 mpg and that is a good combination of highway and city mileage. So that is more like what to expect. BUT! The Acadia is a very spacious family vehicle. So what exactly is everyone on here expecting?? 32mpg? For that, youre in the wrong market of vehicles anyways.

  GMC Acadia Junkmobile - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By bubb007 - October 31 - 2:36 pm

  Struts replaced X2 , tranny X2, brakes and rotors replaced X2, rear seat adjustment is horrible, original tires garbage. GMC engineers trying to figure out why airbag/seatbelt lights stay on all the time...cant assure me that the airbags will work correctly. Worst vehicle ever owned...in fact, Ive had $100 cars when I was a kid that were better quality and more dependable that this pile of scrap metal. Have 5 months left on my "Stupid Buy" and am certainly returning this vehicle (since GMC wont do anything to buy me out. They spent more money on transmission and struts that they would have to buy me out! Wouldnt buy another even if offered for the $100...like my cars of 30 years ago!

  Very Disappointed - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By maysdmm - September 22 - 6:38 pm

  I have had numerous problems with this car. Water pump, brakes, stabilitrak system, computer, gasket problems. I use to get 17 MPG in the city, now it has dropped to 13 MPG. Thankfully all of these are covered under the warranty. Love the style and design, but the reliability is pathetic.

  Totally dissapointed - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By jauno - September 20 - 8:57 pm

  Should have known better. Why did I but an american car. Traded my wifes 2002 Mitsubishi with 110k miles the never gave a single problem for a 2008 Acadia. What was I thinking the car has been in the repair shop more time then I can remember. Problems with brakes, rear gate, brakes, electrical short, had replace radiotar and latest the transmission. Its sad to say but from the get go I had my doubts about this car and because I didnt fell comfortable buying american, I had to spend another 2 grand on a extended warranty. I only purchase the car because wife fell in love the style and color of car. All I can tell you is that IIl never buy an american car again.

  Sad Sad - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By car_girl24 - June 10 - 9:43 am

  I have had my 2008 AWD Acadia for 8 months. I have stop driving it because it is averaging 11.5 mpg hwy. I traded a 2004 Pacific for this that I loved I just wanted more room. I loved the car for the first month then all of the sudden the gas mileage took a dump. On my first road trip it got 22 mpg Hwy and 16 mpg city. This is the best I have even seen out of it. I am now in the market for a different SUV. I have had no mechanical issues and it has 76,000 mi. But if you dont care about what kind of mileage you get out of a SUV I have to say this is a great truck. Very comfortable ride.

  Warning GMC doesnt care about customers who buy a used car! - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By clesliea - June 7 - 2:20 pm

  I bought a used 2008 (not from a dealer). Pristine condition with 19,000 miles. Quickly, I noticed very faint noise coming from the steering wheel while turning. GMC looked at it said there was a problem with the rack and pinion, steering column and steering stays to the tune of $2,000 w/ labor. My research says this is not uncommon for this model and year. I contacted GMC, they said they would review it for coverage but that because I bought it used they hadnt made any money off me. If I had bought new and it had the same miles they would help since I would have been considered a loyal customer. So much for my customer loyalty. Worried about future since it only has 19,000 miles.

  Tried to love the car - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By joev3 - May 29 - 8:21 am

  I liked the external look and interior space. I took very good care of the care, always garage kept and oil changes every 3-5k with synthetic oil. From the day I drove it out the ABS light went on - that was a loose connector. The Air bag light went on all the time. On long trips the A/C would stop and for a while before coming back on. One day after stoping the car and getting out - the radio stayed on - I had to restart the car and move the steering wheel and stop it again before it would finally go off. I could never get close to the MPG stated, usually in my other cars I am close or higher than the stated mpg. I think the Acadia has real electrical problems and overstated MPG. I real

  AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL!!!!!! - 2008 GMC Acadia
  By melanie1177 - December 15 - 7:02 pm

  Had to have rotors resurfaced at 19000 miles, Wont start if gas gauge is at quarter of a tank. Had to repair something with my brakes @ 19258 miles. Strut replacement, Stabilizer shaft link replaced Link or bushings,front stabilizer shaft replaced @ 41000 miles. Air bag light had come on they disconnected and applied grease...did not fix it@59000 miles. radio had to be replaced. Steering column had to be replace@ 70000 miles and now @ 72000 miles the steering rack and pinon is being replaced.Too many clicks in the front end. I hate the 6 speed, when driving its all or nothing which sucks up the gas. Mileage is AWFUL. This car has been nothing but a headache. Thank God for Extended Warranties.
