They've got the residual on my 2008 at around 28K, it'll be lucky to be worth half that in November 2010.
#451 of 495 Grinding noise driver's side front wheel by orrichard Jul 16, 2009 (5:54 pm)
I've had my 2008 Acadia for 23 months now and it's been in the dealership on 3 occassions regarding a very disturbing grinding noise that appears when turning left and applying the brakes. It seems to happen when traveling under 35 mph on a slight decline road and softly applying brakes during a left turn. It doesn't seem to happen all the time so the dealership says they can't diagnose the problems if they can't hear it. Any one figured out what this is yet? The noise is kind of scary and makes you think the wheel is going to fall off. HELP! Replies to this message: chaos42 (Jul 18, 2009 6:13 am)

Replying to: orrichard (Jul 16, 2009 5:54 pm) sweety thats what happened to me.my husband was making a right turn and the left wheel fell off and they tried to blame it on us. the rivets came loose from the tire i'm not completly sure how to explain it but after everything was said and done it was $7759.00 worth of damage.after they so called fixed it after having it for30 days it has not been right since.when we go over 60 mph the stirring wheel shakes.tell them to check by the wheels if your wheel falls off please post it because they said there was no record of this happening before so thats why GM didn' pay for it i had to go through my insurance.they didn't even supply us with a rental car. right now i have to go to court with these fools they know the vehicle is unsafe but they will deny,deny,deny i don't trust the dealership at all watch them!!!
#453 of 495 Engine Trouble with 09 Acadia by stlddplums Jul 19, 2009 (11:01 am)
I bought my Acadia 6 weeks ago and it's been in the shop twice already with a 3rd scheduled for next week. It's missing and jerking around whenever it feels like it. Just the other day my wife is on a 3 hr trip and it starts doing this and the check engine light came on. She took it to the local dealership and they told her that it misfired and so they just reset the code and told her to take it back to our dealer so they could look into it.   Has anyone else heard of this type of problem?
#454 of 495 SLT2 BLU by 1monstermofo Jul 20, 2009 (2:59 pm)
I purchased a 2007 acadia fully loaded. In Feb of this year (09) the stabili track sensor came on and the engine began making noise. I was able to drive the car into the dealer ship although under reduced power. The long and short is that GMC customer service has determined that I have abused the car by not having the last oil change record and that the car was run without oil. They will not honor the warranty and I am having the BBB take them to arbitration. I really was excited about this car when it first came out. I purchased to new cars in 07, one was a Lincoln and the other is this acadia. I wish I had bought two Lincoln's. Any one with similar problems I would love to hear your story.

#456 of 495 Re: Countdown has begun [goodmaj1] by 1monstermofo Jul 23, 2009 (1:45 pm)
Replying to: goodmaj1 (Jun 28, 2009 7:21 pm) Just a quick comment on the ford. I purchased two new cars in 07. One was the Acadia, (that now sits as 5000 pound paper weight) the other was the Lincoln MKZ. I almost bought the MKX, which is the cross over. it was to small for me but my wife loves her MKZ. It has never given us one bit of trouble. It is still to small for me but it is very comfortable for the family. Replies to this message: coltsfan (Jul 24, 2009 5:36 am)

Replying to: 1monstermofo (Jul 23, 2009 1:45 pm) I know exactly what you mean! I loved the Acadia - was just a perfect car - size, power, options, but it's turned out to be a complete failure. We didn't have all the problems I've seen listed here, but we were really afraid how the car would hold up long term. We really do like the Ford Edge, but it is smaller. If GM would get itself straighten out, the Acadia could be awesome! Maybe some day......
