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.

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......

I have the same problem with my 08. It shuts off when I am going about 68 miles an hours in cuise control. I have had it to the dealere 3 time for that issue and they say they cannot
find anything wrong. The car has been in the shop at total of 38 days. The ignition had to be replace early on and the check engine light has been a recuring problem. any one else
have the stalling problem? Any Transmission problems? I agree with mikekris, this is a real safety issue.

I have a 2007 acadia with 30,000 miles. I am now afraid to dive this car. Twice, the feul sensor has gone out. Which means that I was driving down a busy highway and all of a sudden I am going about 20 MPH. THis was most dangerous the other day when I was crossing a busy intersection and was almost hit when the car just wouldnt cross the street. The dealership has now had the car for 11 days and while they had it the air conditioning went out for the sencond time. I have had 2 DVD players, the driver and passenger seat wouldnt lock in place. The back hatch feel on my little girl. The power steering fluid ran out, the lumbar on the drivers seat blew out and many many other issues. My neighbors think I get a new car each month because I have to drive a rental for at least 10 days each trip to the dealership.. What rights do we have? The dealership says as long as it is under warrenty that they will fix any problem. Well, what happens when the next speed sensor goes out and I have a wreck and my children are injured? Who can I call for help?

Was your steering problem under wet conditions ever corrected?

hi there i have a 07 acadia and since we bought it we have had nothing but problems.it all started with the rear tail gate opening on its own while driving down the hiway,and not locking this was a really nice option when you have kids.second problem we had was the sun roof leaked like faucete witch recked the hole roof and the carpet flooring becuase of the mold it created.third problem was the time belt which we had changed for the third time.this vehicle has spent a total of sixty days in the shop getting repairs.its to the point now that gm tells us if the timeing belt blows one more time they r replacing our vehicle.i just dont like this vehicle anymore and just today the roof started leaking again awsome. so in the end not a very reliable family vehicle.

I have a 2007 that was one of the last to come off the line in that model year. I have had zero problems except one.
When I went to have the oil changed at 52000 miles, the GMC dealer noticed that I had a transmission oil leak and I was down quite a bit on the fluid. The concern for owners is that this leak is by the torque converter and the leak only happens at speed, meaning you will not find a drip in the driveway so I was totally unaware of the problem. I was fortunate that I am religious about changing the oil since the next trip that week would have done my transmission in. The seals were replaced under warranty. If you are at 50K miles, and low on transmission fluid, this is what is going on and the Dealers are aware of this problem

Problems to date:
 
-Axel Seals 20,000km
-A/C drain keeps plugging resulting in water flowing around in vents
-Power Windows died
-Front fan died, likely due to the water/condensation running around in there
-Getting set (waiting for part) for GM to take the engine out for the third time in 57,000kms. This time is the cam chain/timing chain issue. Other time were for various sensors.
-Check engine light comes on every 5 days or so.
 
Long story short, piece of garbage. Thank God it's a lease. 7 more months and they can have it back. I pity the poor guy/gal that they sell it to used.
