I bought a 2008 slt-1, I have had it maybe a month. The mpg isn't as good as they said it was suppose to be, hoping the more it is broke in the better it is. The seats are terrible, the headrests push your head forward. My husband hates the Acadia, the seats are very uncomfortable, he wouldn't take a long trip in it. We had a Suburban, and he wishes we had that back. He said if he could have test drove it a hundred miles he wouldn't have bought it. Just driving around town you dont get a real feel for it. I drive 150 to 200 miles a day in it, and when I get home my neck is killing me, and the seats are to hard. They should have put the Suburban seats in it. For me the handling of it is great. We haven't had any other problems with it so far. Great for driving in town, I have been driving a 3/4 4x4 crew cab diesel pickup. I like my truck, but wanted something smaller. My husband is thinking of trading it in on a BMW , Lexus, Toyota, he hates it that much.

Sorry, I missed the page where you answered my question before I asked it. I will have them check that sunroof drain. Thanks |

The dealership said they had a bulletin on this -- when the hatch was opened it would settle into place with a loud clunking noise & a jerk. We also love our Acadia & haven't had the problems shown here. Hope this helps!! |

Replying to: kchef76 (Jan 28, 2008 1:27 pm) by 3-4 rpms do you mean 3000 to 4000? um, are you brake-torquing it trying to do some sort of dragstrip launch? !

First off let me say this in NOT a cold start problem. We have had our Acadia almost a year now and 2 weeks after purchase it started this problem. We could go out in the morning or after driving 400 miles, try to start it and it is dead, clicking sound or nothing at all, it has done it all. It has also died to the point that the remote entry wouldn't work, radio clock reset the whole nine yards. each time I need a jump after the jump it runs fine, no excessive driving required or battery charge needed. Could shut the car right off after the jump and it then it restarts just fine. I have had it in to the dealership and called onstar each time, and there is no recorded problem all sys. check come back normal. I even had the GM rep look at it...no help there. Battery has been replaced and it STILL does it. There is no memory codes in the computer...and no one is able to duplicate the problem so each time I bring it in to the dealer it is "fine". now I have it back and I am forced to drive it till dies again and then have it towed into the dealership. Hopefully it is convienant to me and my busy schedule and with small children I am nervous. I am currently in touch with BBB and the lemon law since i have had it in about 4 times for this same problem and no one seems to know what is wrong. I have never had the right turn stalling problem but I do get error messages about the traction control and stabilitrak needing service but then the computer never records these error messages either and the dealer can't fix what they don't know is wrong. also the nav. screen will go blank and the radio will shut off every once in a while when I start it and I need to shut off the car and restart it then it will turn back on...weird. My only answer to all this is that my acadia has multiple personality disorder...does anyone else have a "sybill" car???
