Acadia Denali V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 5,000 miles

Tires were chunking

HATCHETT GMC said it was because I was using it off road? I never went off road.

Refused to even go to GMC. I went to GMC, both parties refused to rectify under warranty.

Replaced unsafe tires on my own at Costco

Had electrical issues with the vehicle from day one, car would not lock or stay locked when you left it. Possessions were insecure. Headlights dimmed and flashed on coming traffic without command. Vehicle chugged and would seize on the highway causing a need to muscle to shoulder, Then would restart like nothing happened? The dealer HATCHETT GMC could not duplicate any issues. Drivers seat would move backwards 6 inches randomly while driving. Car would not shutdown after exit and locking, had to provide a video to GMC. Many more issues so it is hard to say what caused what. Driven sparingly due to safety issues,

Acadia SLT1 3.6L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 5,000 miles

Worst Tires Ever - Michelin Premiere LTX tires. OEMs. After 3 flats, and no winter traction, I had them replaced at 11,000 miles. Advice to GM - don't ever put an 8.5 32nds jagoff tire like this on an SUV. After 1 season or 10,000 miles, there's no traction to move in snow, even in AWD. I wouldn't take these tires if offered for free. Rubber is soft. Had 3 flats with little screws on the road or whatever. Junk. I remember when the car was brand new with maybe 100 miles and going down highway 55 mph in rain, wow, wow and wow, these hydroplaned like crazy, 1/4 to 1/2 lane shift. Never, ever again. I looked at Jeep Grand Cherokee's, they don't mess around, Firestone Destination LE's, what a difference. I don't want any compensation from Michelin, I'll remember though, if I ever buy new again, it won't have Michelin's on it. Period.
