2008 GMC Acadia SLT1 review from North America
"Too problematic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Various problems with various systems from electrical to drive-line. Usually a quick fix, but a trip to the dealer for warranty none the less. No fewer than 15 trips to warranty since new.
Rear differential replacement to solve vibration issues (5 trips to the shop at least), several recall items, problems with turn signal switch, steering column replacement, sound system failure, failure of heated seats.
A general disappointment given the cost and the fact that it is brand new.
General comments?
Nice style.
Nice design of the cockpit and overall.
Comfortable seats and seating arrangement.
Pleasant to drive.
Slightly under powered for its size.
Handles well, great all wheel drive vehicle.
Too unreliable/problematic, I won't buy another.
