I was experiencing problems driving my vehicle. it was riding rough and making a loud noise when i accelerated, so i took it to my mechanic and i got spark plugs and an oil change-still was riding rough. i went back and got a cam shaft position replaced-still nothing changed. i took it to another mechanic. he said it was an o2 censor. changed it and nothing changed. no one could tell me what was wrong or what the noise was. finally one morning on my way to work i had to pull over on the highway bc the car wouldn't accelerate. got it towed to a different mechanic and that's when i found out it was the timing chain. after doing some research i was getting quotes for $2000-$2500. finally one place told me to see if there was a recall. i called gmc. they said there is a recall on the timing chain. they connected me with a local gmc dealer who informed me after evaluating my vehicle that it's out of warranty and 5000 miles over the limit. well i'm still paying for ...

I leased my 2009 gmc acadia almost 2 years ago, it has been a nightmare. i bought as is so dealer would not return my calls that had anything to do with problems. first, not even 3 weeks after i leased the vehicle the electrical system started to go, my driver window stopped working, my back hatch well i can't even open it because there is no key to open nor is there a button anywhere the mechanics said i need to take it to an electrical mechanic...wonder how much that will cost?, my stabiltrak system constantly flashes. the engine burns up too much oil even after an oil change within 3weeks i need to put oil, i do not drive far nor alot. to work and back. it will cost more to fix this truck than what it is worth now i'm stuck with $5,000 left on a vehicle that is a piece of poop. when i drive the truck pulls as if the engine cannot get the truck going. i can't turn off the truck while putting gas because the vehicle wont turn over once the gas has been put in and started. the mechanic said its ...

I took my 09 gmc acadia to the gm auto to fix the transmission and they told me they can not fix unless i pay the $2043 to fix my power steering, but i believe its all related to that power steering failure that is cover under the gm policy. and its the same problem to all the acadia that are out there so i suggest the gm to fix all gmc acadia without any cost to all the owneri if they fix it right we wouldn't complaint at all
