Overview & Reviews

The 2010 GMC Acadia gets new "Cashmere" leather upholstery on upscale models, slightly revised trim levels, standard 20-inch wheels on the top-of-the-line model and a USB jack for the optional Bose stereo. The six-speed transmission has also been reprogrammed for quicker downshifts.

• Compliant ride, all three rows are spacious, comfortable seats, cavernous cargo space, top crash-test scores.

• Forgettable interior materials, compromised outward visibility, size hampers maneuverability.

  Do not buy this car 2 - 2010 GMC Acadia
  By Erica - January 2 - 12:23 pm

  Cannot comment or add to my original review, so Im adding another one. I posted my review in October, 3 days after we got it back with a rebuilt engine, the motor was losing oil, bear in mind there was never an oil light, but we checked the oil every other day, we took a 2 hour trip, then had to drive another hour to help a friend, apparently that was just too much for the engine, in that time it had used up the oil and simply died on a random country road. Spun a bearing. Second motor in 6 months. No one will rebuild or sell this motor because they cant warranty it, its such poor quality. Id like to add that the traverse, escalade, Acadia, and enclave all have this motor. I wont be buying any of them either. When we get another motor in this car we will be taking it directly from the mechanic to be traded in. Ill have at least 6 grand added to the cost of a new vehicle, if I get the average trade in value for this hunk of junk.

  Do not buy this car - 2010 GMC Acadia
  By Erica - October 9 - 6:09 pm

  I searched for an suv to fit our family, looked at 14 different models, Acadia had it all. However, a week after I bought mine, one owner used, 108k miles, the alternator went out at $300 bucks. Two days later, it left us stranded when the timing chain guide broke, another $1800 and a month at the shop. I got it back and drove it 2 months before the engine blew because oil was not getting to the top of the engine. Had to borrow $4k, 5 months in the shop, got it back a week ago and currently have a check engine light, we are 4 hours from home. In addition to a recurring tire pressure Guage light, stabilitrack, and abs lights. Im beyond upside down in this ridiculous thing. And is not at all dependable. These are just the big things, the DVD player quit 3 days ago, among other little things. Do not buy this car.

  ugh...cant afford to keep American - 2010 GMC Acadia
  By cheryl - September 7 - 5:36 pm

  Dont buy this car! I will say I love the look of the crossover and the capacity as we are a very active family. It is roomie and can fit a a lot of everything and that is where my love ends. I was just quoted over $5600 in repairs! I have had numerous repairs, water pump, airbags, seat belt were the only items covered under recalls. I now have my A/C out, steering rack gear leaking, timing cover gasket and rear main seal all needing repair and the vehicle is 5 years old! Name me one Toyota, Honda or Nissan that would need that much work 5 years? My VW didnt even need that much in 15 years! Customer care is a joke. They hook you up with your dealer that you have already become intimate with because you are ALWAYS there. Nothing else. I think the foreign cars to learn from the cargo design of the Acadia and they would have a best seller. I know that I would buy it. As for GMC, General Motors and buying American...my family cant afford a substandard product and therefore will never purchase again. I tried...

  Worst GM Car Ever and Last - 2010 GMC Acadia
  By gmfannomore - April 2 - 11:20 am

  I bought this Acadia new off the dealers lot at the end of 2010 and thought I got a great deal. It now has 70K miles. Between recalls and service bulletins its been in the shop close to 15 times. Since December alone, its been in 5 times. First, for a Service Bulletin to replace a timing chain, then every two weeks since for some other trouble code or fault. GM should be ashamed to have their logo on this car. Ive asked for a full refund due to the failure of the engineering not living up to the "Professional Grade" motto, but been laughed at. Ive been a GM fan for 40 years and am now selling everything GM I won because GM has failed to make this right. Never again.

  GMC Acadia unreliable - 2010 GMC Acadia
  By gulfking2 - November 15 - 3:19 pm

  I purchased used 8/2013. 25,000 miles. We have had two recalls and one power steering pump failure notice. My steering felt like manual steering like the gmc letter described. Dealership and gmc agreed that my power steering boot tips broke and all power steering fluid leaked which caused my pump to seized. They didnt pay for my repairs. Lastly my driver side power window doesnt work and dealership technician told us the motor sometimes jams and to slam the door but not to hard to fix the problem and it works to my disbelief. I regret buying this car and hate all the problems and money it has cost during my 14 month of owning. I have 50,000 miles.
