I BOUGHT THE ACADIA NEW IN 2009 . AT 15K MILES CD PLAYER TURNS ON AT NIGHT BY ITSELF AND RUNS BATTERY COMPLETELY DOWN HAD TO GO BUY A BATTERY CHARGER TO GET THE CAR STARTED YOU CAN'T MOVE THE CAR WHEN THE BATTERY IS DEAD, A RE PROGRAM FIXED THE CD PLAYER. 35-40K MILES DVD PLAYER WILL NOT WORK, RE PROGRAM DID NOT WORK, DEALER REPLACED DVD PLAYER. 40K MILES WATER PUMP WENT OUT, 40 K MILES WHEEL ALIGNMENT WENT OUT AND WORE THE FRONT TIRES TO THE CORD, NO MENTION OF COMPENSATION FOR TWO NEW TIRES AT A COST OF $500.00. 10K MILES FURTHER ANOTHER SET OF TIRES HAD TO BE REPLACED AT THE SAME COST, THIS IS AFTER DEALER WHEEL ALIGNMENT,5 K MILES MORE AND THE ALIGNMENT HAD TO PERFORMED AGAIN. JUST CHECKED AGAIN AT 5 K MILES MORE AND TIRES ARE STARTING TO FEATHER AGAIN. AT 60K MILES ONE OF THE DRIVING LIGHTS WENT OUT. THE DEALER WANTS OVER $100.00 TO REPLACE THE BULB, SEEMS AS THOUGH THE FRONT END NEEDS TO COME OFF TO REPLACE A LIGHTBULB THAT USED TO COST A FEW DOLLARS. THE PAINT HAS STARTED TO PEEL OFF THE BUTTONS THAT CONTROL THE AIR CONDITIONER FAN. THE GAS MILEAGE IS NOT AS ADVERTISED. I WAS TOLD THAT AFTER 10K MILES IT WOULD GET BETTER, THAT WAS 50 K MILES A GO. OVER ALL THIS CAR IS A REAL EXPENSIVE PILE OF CRAP. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THE ACADIA TO ANY ONE. *TR

AIR BAGS
THE BATTERY ON MY GMC ACADIA DIED ON THE 15TH FEBRUARY AND THE DEALER COULD NOT IDENTIFY ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE FOLLOWING MONDAY THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS TOLD THE SENSOR WAS NOT WORKING RIGHT AND THE PARTS WERE ORDERED. THE FRIDAY OF 2/26 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 50MPH AND HALF THE GAS TANK WAS EMPTIED IN 25 MILES. DURING THAT FRIDAY THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING EVEN AFTER I PULLED THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THAT SAME NIGHT THE BATTERY DIED AND COULD NOT BE JUMP STARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED ON 3/1 AND THE AIR BAG SENSORS ALONG WITH FUSE BOX WAS REPLACED AS WATER WAS LEAKING INTO THE FUSE BOX. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED IN THE MILEAGE RANGE OF 6800 TO 7100 APPROXIMATELY. THE DEALER HAS REPLACED THE FUSE BOX AND THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING FINE SO FAR. *TR
