I forgot to tell about the $ 500.00 CASH BACK OFFER OF GM. During all of the negotiations of my deal - NOBODY AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME ABOUT THE $ 500.00 CASH BACK OFFER OF GM. GM ADVERTISED A $ 500.00 CASH BACK OFFER IF YOU TOOK DELIVERY BY JUNE,2007. I bought my 2007 Acadia in May,2007. I qualified for the $500.00 CASH BACK OFFER - BUT< The dealer took it. I filed my complaint with the Customer Relationa Manager - GMC Customer Assistance Center - P.O. Box 33172 - Detroit, MI. 48232-5172. I sent him all of the paper work and description of the RAW DEAL that I got from the GMC Dealer. That was on May 30,2007. I waited and waited on the Consumer Managers reply. When I did not receive one - I filed a complaint with the BBB Auto Line Program - Council of Better Business Bureaus,Inc. in Arlington,Va. ( I followed the instructions as prescribed in the manual of the new Acadia).when you have a complaint. The Better Business Bureau in Arlington,V. turned the case over to the BBB in Charlotte,N.C. They contacted the Dealership and got a reply from the woman owner. I filed a rebuttal to her description. The Charlotte BBB opened the case on August 14,2007. The Charlotte BBB closed the case on October 11,2007. TODAY IS OCTOBER 22,2007 I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A DECISION FROM THE GM CONSUMER RELATIONS MANAGER IN DETROIT,MI. ON MY COMPLAINT??? ALTHOUGH THE CHARLOTTE BBB HAS CLOSED THE CASE - (Their web site says that they notified the dealer that they closed the case on October 11,2007) THE BBB HAS NOT NOTIFIED ME OF THEIR DECISION ON MY COMPLAINT??????? WELL, there it is neighbors. I thought that folks were supposed to deal with the customer in a fair,honest and truthful manner? Not so with my encounter with the people at GMC and the dealership, and the Better Business Bureau. TAKE NOTICE FROM THIS ENCOUNTER AND BE GUIDED ACCORDINGLY This is my last purchase of a GMC product - in the past,I believe I have purchased about 6 or 7 GM vehicles. 4 of them were NEW. I am currently trying to trade this 2007 Acadia for a - 2008 Toyota Highlander Limited. MAN,that's a beautiful vehicle.IF,ANYBODY HAS A DEAL,LET ME KNOW. Hope I have helped someone from getting taken for a ride. IF, you know what I mean? Replies to this message: vad1819 (Nov 09, 2007 12:21 pm)

Replying to: kimdvm1 (Apr 23, 2007 5:21 pm) The change holder in the fron seat arm rest pulls out and there is a deeper storage area underneath. I think there is one 12 volt outlet in there. I've been looking at these and depending on the trim level there can be a 12v and a three prong AC right under the radio. Some other options provide a three prong in the second row.

In my opinion Highlander soft and noisy car. Nothing even close "beautiful vehicle", GM much better car. It has more space in side and quit ride. About tires, they should be 35psi, you should get your diagnostic report on second day. My tires was 33-34 psi.
#67 of 67 07 Acadia Fuel guage reading by cmccoll Aug 10, 2008 (10:12 am)
I am wondering if anyone has experienced incorrrect fuel guage readings, and know of a correction for this. I burned 30 litres of fuel on a full tank approx 80 liters and the guauge tells me im below half. The guage has a tenancy to jump up at times to show more fuel in the tank. Any comments?
