GMC Acadia Reliability through December 31, 2012
General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

Brakes have been squealing since 9000 miles.

| Jun | 2010 | 21000 | 0 | Check engine light on. Dealer reset and stated they couldn't find a problem associated with codes. Check engine light came on 4 days after leaving dealer. Took to a different dealer (on a road trip). That dealer stated that the codes were "old" and reset the light. After we returned home we took the Acadia to our selling dealer. They had to keep it for 4 days and were eventually able to replicate problem (engine light, rough handling) and replaced fuel injector 1. No problems since. |
