I've had my 08 Acadia for 2 weeks. My wife is the main driver of the car, so after a couple days of having it, I finally got into it to take it for a drive and saw that there was already 100 miles on it. Thought that was strange but didn't think too much of it. After a week and a half my odometer read that the car had over 300 miles on it. My wife works less than a mile from our house, and we really haven't driven it anywhere. The gas light came on at 220 miles and she had to fill it already! Brought the car in to get checked out and they said they couldn't find anything wrong. They made me fill my tank (again) and reset the trip odometer so they could gauge the miles per gallon I'm getting. I see that a few people have had problems with their odometers apparently "jumping" miles. Is there any fix to this? Also, I'm really dissappointed with the way the car is running...it feels like it's holding back on me when I accelerate. Dealership said this is common for a V6, but I've never had one to compare it to. Is this the case? Thanks for anyone's help.

Replying to: jaz01 (Sep 07, 2008 2:06 pm) pulling feel from day 1, I have a 07 Acadia and it was in the shop 2 weeks after I bought it and went to the shop 5 more times after that. The dealer will tell you over and over their is no problem, but it's just a bunch of lies they feed you. The main thing they stay consistent about is to cover up the fact that a problem really does exit. I finally got tired of it and seeked a lemon law lawyer. I am now in the process of closing my case , Gm has agreed to buy back my vehicle. I would be glad to share any info once I am finished and can even supply you with the lemon law lawyer info if needed.

| Yesterday and today,on starting, the panel went thru its check steps but after that the entire panel was dark. Restarting caused the problem to go away. Any body else seen this? This is a 2008 Acadia about a year old, 5,000 miles. | |

Replying to: ntelly (Sep 08, 2008 7:05 am) you take it in they document the exact problem word from word, make sure the the dates are correct from the date you take it in to the actual day you pick it up. You need to call GMC customer service and start a complaint file, that way it is documented by them.

On Sept 8 I posted about my panel lights going dark. Turned out my grandson had 'dialed' the dash lights down to 'minimum'. LOL
