2008 GMC Acadia Owner Comments

problem #3

Nov 052016

Acadia SLT 3.6L V6 Vvt

  • Automatic transmission
  • 84,000 miles

We have had continuous issues with our Acadia and are very disappointed in the engineering and design. The transmission has never seemed to run perfectly, however now it is actually not performing. It is leaking transmission fluid and smells like melting plastic every time I drive it for more than 3 minutes. The transmission is not shifting correctly and the truck is not driving well. I am VERY tired of the constant issues I need to continually deal with with this awful truck. I don't think we will buy another GMC vehicle ever again!
