2008 GMC Acadia consumer reviews

LEMON LEMON LEMON 2 timing chains, all new valves, new water pump, new radiator, new motor mounts, still runs ragged. Would not recommend to anyone!

We purchased this early last summer just to tow a boat. Car had 225K on it. New Tires and lot of new parts (starter, alternator, battery and other parts). Yes, has a ton of miles on it but no rust at all, runs great and strong. Looks like it was very well maintained. Excellent in the snow too. Got it for a song (less then $3300.00). Had to fix a couple things, Bose amp repaired, replaced water pump. Fixed the sunroof drain issues by re-routing the drain tubes. Leak issue is now Fixed. Both power seat switches were flaky when we bought it. Took them apart, cleaned up the contacts and no problems. Very tiny slight leak in power steering. Fixed that with some stop leak made by a famous company that starts with "L". We've driven this to the UP Michigan (1200 miles round trip) last summer pulling our boat - no issues. Drove to eastern Tenn (1900 miles round trip) about a month ago. Zero issues. Have made several trips over the summer each over 600 miles or more, no issues. Very nice vehicle and nice and comfy. Definitely not great on gas. But then again, you don't buy one of these because they get great gas mileage now, do you? We now have around 230K on it and so far so good. At this point, for what I paid for it, it doesn't owe me a dime. Nice vehicle. We will keep it and just fix things as needed. Way cheaper than buying another vehicle right now. I used to work on cars way back when all you needed was a pliers and a couple of screwdrivers so I can do most repairs to save some $$$. I would purchase another one if I had to replace this one.

We purchased this car and it was the worst purchase we have ever made.. My husband purchased a silver, 2008 Acadia for me and for the first year everything was ok...After that, everything went to breaking.. Transmission acting up, cost $4,000 to fix, head light went out twice, radio speakers went out (front and back) , window panel went out ( only one window goes down now) and so much more. Every time I see the same make and model, one headlight is out.. There were several people in my neighborhood with the same vehicle.. They either traded the car in or it's sitting up broken.

Well forst off. It has transmission issues i bought from a second hand car deal a 2008 gmc acadia and tranny has been acting funny since day one then i tae it out of state on vacation and if it raid hard and if i made a turn left or right my feet get wet from water coming from under the dash... Then radido would loose its soud from the speakers only ones stayed work was 2 tweeters in front. So neat less to say i was wit out radio for months then i watched YouTube videosTo find out that the 2008 GMC Acadia has leaking problems so everytime it rains i loose my radio and my feet get wet..... So where can i get that fixed?????? And not have to pay out my pocket????

So I just purchased this car . Had it less than a week and noticed some minor hopefully mechanical problems. Hesitant on pickup unless mashing the pedal, also I noticed fluctuations of the tach at idle . Mind you I have no check engine lights on and nothing shows when scanned. But all in all I think its a great car

Great comfort and size. Has been reliable since the day we bought it new! It still drives like it did when we had 200 miles on it.

Super interior, but technically not as good as Japanese cars. So please check the engine before purchase, car is auto sensitive so if one part is broken car whole system may shot down

Very confortable ride, powerful motor BUT at 40k miles it has been its fourth motor blown and coming for de fifth, transmission without problems and interior exterior like new

This SUV is awful! I have replaced the transmission THREE times. OEM original parts. Even wen to a transmission specialist one time. Every mechanic that has come in contact with this vehicle has informed me that GM made faulty parts and they REFUSE to take accountability for the transmission. DO NOT PURCHASE IF YOU HAVE A FAMILY!

It was great for a while but need more room more kids with third row seating in dvd in more up to date but it was a good car
