At roughly 50,000 there is a transmission line leak in the vehicle. GM has already recalled 2018-2020 model-year GMC Acadia SUVs and other models for this problem due to risk of fire. Whether it is the same cause or not, such a problem leads to the same risk.

Starting vehicle after 10 hours of vehicle not running, the vehicle cranks/has a delayed start for approximately 4 to 8 seconds. Battery, alternator and start was check and all was in working order. I was told the issue may be a defective fuel pump, due to the engine losing fuel pressure after not running for an extended period of time.

We purchased a 2017 Acadia AWD slt on December 28, 2017. There was a recall on GM bulletin #19-na-206 for (shift to park) issue. Dealer michael hohl GMC 3700 S carson St, carson city, nv 89701 ordered part but was not installed until 1/13/20. Day after repairs, fueled car and gas gauge would show three quarters full. The fuel range also bounces up and down and is not accurate. Is this a GM recall issue? my car is now out of the bumper to bumper warranty to repair this gas gauge problem. We are concerned that we might run out of fuel due to faulty gas gauge reading or was this a problem created by R/R in-line shifter wire harness jumper. Car was at dealer for repair (in warranty) @ 27,762 under mileage and is now out of warranty due to three year time span. Now @27,784 miles.

Oct 23, 2019 we were supposed to bring our car for a service because the check engine is on but before we even get to the dealer the car won't start. We have to call for a towing company. When we get there they said they don't know what's wrong. We called GMC complaint before we got an answer with the dealer on Oct 30 they said its a fuel pump recall. Since then we haven't heard from them. It will 6 weeks this week. We just bought this car as certified pre owned last April 2019 now we cant't use it and no updates at all. We don't know when will have our car back.

The gas gauge indicator showed 90 miles until empty, but was actually empty. This ourred during a family trip from northern California to southern California. We ran out of gas on top of the grapevine. Finally, after a 3 hour wait, road service brought gas and we were on our way to the nearest gas station.
