I got an early '07 AWD Acadia and have never been happier with a car. The dealer did reprogram the transmission which improved the high upshift greatly. I guess my only complain is the reluctance to down shify immediately from 6th gear on light throttle. One thing that would really help are paddle shifters on the steeing wheel like my wife's MINI. For a new model it's amazing.

I had my Acadia for 1 1/2 weeks before the check engine light came one. It only had 400 miles on it. Onstar ran check and told me to take it in. Per the dealer there was play in the cam shaft....they had it for 25 days. Took exactly 3weeks just for the parts to come in. I got it back on a Friday, and as soon as I drove off, I noticed a hum in the engine that wasn't there before. I took it back and they kept it 2days and told me it was a noisy power steering pump and there was a recall on that. Of course the part was on back order. But it came in today. So I will be taking it back on Tues. for repair. They have had my new car longer than I have!! I also feel like it shifts weird. Seems like it goes to 2.2 on the rpm and double shifts. They checked it out and said it is seemless shifting and that it doesn't register as anything wrong. Guess I will have to live with that. Seems that I am not the only one this has happened to. GM still has bugs to work out on this car. But it is beautiful!!

Replying to: cjulius (Feb 17, 2008 2:58 pm) I will be having it taken out soon to see if it will shut off without this device in the car. My brake pedal is squeaking crazy everything in the cars seems to squeaking. I did get the vibration in the brake pedal as well and the pedal went straight to the floor a few times. We are going for Toyoto or Hyundai for our next vehicles. I should of got the Toyoto Highlander its just that it looks so plain looking and the Acadia is a nice looking car. We are looking for a second vehicle a 2009 Toyoto Matrix at least this car will be good on gas. Constantly going to the gas station with the Acadia. Would like to trade this Acadia on the Toyoto Highlander but will have to suffer the loss of money.

| I want to start off by saying how much I love the Acadia and how it fits my family's needs. But I have had so many problems with mine. I think it may be a lemon. I had the following electrical issues: Rear power lift gate, heated passenger front seat, front passenger door lock, passenger front window. Also, the sky scape window sun shade broke. I was told by the dealer that some Acadia's made it off the assembly line without being properly sealed in some key areas. I would encourage all Acadia owners to run a hose on the roof of the vehical to check fo leaks. My leak was down behind the glovebox leaking directly onto a fuse box which probably caused all my electrical problems. | |
