The vehicle started giving us problems. While driving at normal speeds (25 - 30 mph) the motor will start to shutter or jump around. After taking it ot a local dealership we found that the issue is a the timing chain. I also did some research and found this to be a common problem between 120,000 and 200,000 miles. GM only offered an extension up to 120,000 miles. This is a costly repair that we can not afford. GM knows this is a continous problem but refuses to take responsability for it. I am getting a P0007 code and the check engine light stays on all the time! I have been a loyal GM customer for 20 plus years. Most recently I have been considering leaving them for another manufacturer since this is not the first time being screwed over by them in the past 3 - 4 years.

There was a recall at one time for the transmission linkage about it popping off, I am now having it pop off I have no clue how long it been this way seeing as it goes to the dealership and they never said anything but it had been that way for a while you can just lift it off. Head lights go out almost every 6 months on the dot! I have been caught twice with no low beams.

While driving the vehicle at 45mph I received a low oil pressure shut off engine. Oil was fine so we took it to have the oil changed. Light came back on. There are no codes being stored in the system. Everyone is guessing what could be wrong with it from a bad oil pump or the pan needs to be cleaned. There is a forum a bunch of other people having the same problem and spending thousands and getting nowhere. Some have had to have a whole new engine installed. GM says there are no bulletins and they will give me a 100 $ for the vehicle to be serviced by a tech. Just to be checked is 250 $ not including any fixes for the issue.

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 this vehicle and I owe $5000 on it. Clearly I was sold a lemon but what are my options now?

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 the trans evap system. I dont understand how GMC can get away with manufacturing vehicles like this with no concern for the customers.

The vehicle was stationary, will start but it doesn't recognize that it has or cords aren't connecting and it won't shift into any gear-just makes a clicking sound-shift lever. Lift gate/back hatch won't stay up and keeps falling down. Power/electrical issues involving the transmission was driving, at a red light and the vehicle just stopped working and I couldn't even get it started again. There has been ongoing issues with this vehicle.
