| Multiple problems with this vehicle. it has been in the shop more than 10 times in the past 4 years that i have owned it, frustrating. list of repairs: timing belt, head lights, steering, camshaft, oil leak, struts, brakes and this is what i can recall mostly.this vehicle has had mutliple services especially for service stability track that never gets repaired, they can't find the problem. also service air bag keeps coming on but dealership cannot do anything while the light is not on. very frustrated with this vehicle. i have never experienced so many repairs and services with any other vehicle as i have the acadia. i owned a galant car before the acadia for 5 years and only had to do one repair in those 5 years i owned it. i regret purchasing this vehichle! i am a single mother of two and i need a dependable vehicle not one that is malfunctioned! | |||

| Driving at slow speed and warning light came on that needed to service brakes. i took it to the local john elway chevy dealership for service right of way. they came back that the master brake cylinder was leaking and had to be replaced. i am 63, probably have had over 15 brands of cars that i drive to at least 125,000 miles and never replaced a master brake cylinder. i went on edmunds.com online and read multiple complaints from other acadia owners with even newer models with same problem. i called gm and asked for them to pay for repair, they refused. the mechanic showed me where the master brake cylinder was leaking. he indicated that it is glued together. *tr | |||

| 1. while traveling on an interstate highway, the vehicle's stabilitrak control abruptly shut down, and the brakes locked with light depressions of the pedal. (stabilitrak controls the vehicle's traction control, anti-lock brakes, and roll-prevention program.) 2. the failure has occurred approximately 5 times; on one occasion, the engine stalled in addition to the above. consequences were as described above. 3. the vehicle was taken on an urgent basis to the gmc dealer the following day. the dealer advised that the problem is due to play in the camshaft, which sends an erroneous signal to the stabilitrak, causing it to shut down. the dealer advised that repair will require replacement of cylinder heads and other equipment, which is a draconian procedure which will take a week or more. in addition, the dealer advised that the problem is causing permanently damage to the vehicle's drivetrain which worsens with miles driven. the dealer further advised that repair parts would not be available for at least 8 weeks because the problem is widespread in the vehicle line and gm refuses to manufacture parts in sufficient quantities to meet the national demand. almost 8 weeks after reporting the problem, the problem remains unrepaired, and gm has refused one written request and one written demand for immediate correction of the problem, despite this being an immediate threat to occupant safety in that it shuts down the vehicle's most important electronic safety components, including traction control, anti-lock brakes, and the anti-roll-over program. *tr | |||
