I bet there is a software issue re: shifting and I would call your dealer and have him contact the GMC regional rep if unresolved.

Please tell me someone is having this problem. I drove the Acadia today for the first time and LOVED IT!!! It has everything I am looking for. I am former Lexus driver and this SUV has me so impressed. However, driving it in the afternoon sun gives off terrible glare and reflection from the shine on the chrome trim around the A/C vents AND from the trim around the gear shifter. Also, you cant cover the dual sunroofs completely to sheild you from the sun. I live in Florida and the sun is intense. On a 2 hour trip my little one and I would both be sunburned! And its hard to find the SLT-2 without sunroofs! And the Glare! What do I do about the reflection on the Chrome??? Help! LOVE the Car but not the sun (so much

My Acadia has a very distinct hum when I am idling. Does anyone else hear this? I took it to my dealer and he said it was comparable to the Acadia on the lot. It is dissappointing because the overall road noise suppression is very good.

Jeff - No Hum for me, but plenty of other issues I'm dealing with. See "Acadia Check Engine Light" forum.

I have a FWD (not AWD) and have seen 22+ MPG indicated from the on board MPG display for highway driving. Given that I only had 350 miles on it at that point I am willing to give it a chance to see how it improves over the next 1000 miles. At the first oil change I plan on going to a full synthetic oil which should help a bit.
The AWD version will likely get at least 1 MPG less. Consider if you really need it.

"I currently have a BMW 740i (2000) and I get better combined #'s that what is being posted here and that is a bummer. I am getting 16.5 overall (city/hwy)."
Let me see if I understand what you are saying. You are surprised that a 5000 lb SUV with a large frontal cross-section gets worse mileage than your 4300 lb sedan that has a much smaller frontal cross-section?
That's just basic physics at work.

Chevy will have a version but probably not for another year.

I've noticed that when listening to the radio on FM, it continuesly fades in and out volume wise. has anyone else had this issue? It did happen after I went through a car-wash at a gas station, could that had just made it loose?

Does the antenna look intact and soundly attached to the roof at the rear? I have noticed that the FM reception doesn't seem as good for distance stations as in my other GM cars.

Brake-related rattle/knock?

Anyone notice or aware of a rattle/knocking that the dealer has identified as brake-related and, of course, "normal?" I've heard this from an Acadia and an Outlook owner.
