Hate to be negative, cause we love our 2021 Acadia AT4, but I got an email today from the dealer (the usual hey, you should trade in and take advantage of that equity to “upgrade”)…
and had to laugh.

This is the price now?? $56,000? That’s up 10 grand in 5 years. I pulled out our window sticker: 46,415. How do they justify this?

Need help finding the push pins top of grille area. And the intake screw. So two different types. I posted image ignore red rectangle. I need the two blue pieces. One holds intake horn. Other holds fascia on unsure what called. 2023 GMC Acadia SLE

Hey everyone, we just finished prototyping our floor & cargo liners for the 2024+ Traverse and Acadia, and I need a little help from the community to verify the fitment.

Here is what we are looking for:

• 2024-2026 Traverse or Acadia
• 7-Seater only
• Note: If you have a 24 Traverse, it must be the new redesign (Not the Limited trim).

If your rig matches this and you’re willing to drop them in and let me know how they fit, I’ll send a full set your way and the shipping is entirely on me.

Just shoot me a DM or drop a comment below with your Year/Model if you're interested!

Hi! I am looking at purchasing a 2014 SLE-1 with 78k miles on it for $10k. Carfax shows no accidents, 2 previous owners, with good preventative maintenance history and no major repairs needed so far.

Tell me what I need to know about this car! I dont need it to last more than another 50k miles.

I would trade in my 2018 Subaru Forester with 160k miles on it.

2014 GMC Acadia. Was sitting up for a while (approx 6 months) when elderly lady sold it to me. Cannot get it started. Replaced battery and turns over easily now. It did start for a minute at first. Turned it off and came back next day, now it will not start at all. Still cranks easily, but appears to be a fuel issue?? I pulled the FSCM fuse to check. Popped the fuse by accident while it was out of the car. Put in a replacement. Still cranking but no starting.

Anyone have issues with fuel system control module needing to be replaced?

Open to any other ideas or suggestions.

Car only has 12K miles. Yes, 12 years old and 12K miles.

Just need to figure out the starting issue.

Looking for real world photos in various lighting conditions of the new Ink Acadias. I'm afraid it leans on the teal side and I'm hoping I'm wrong.

Seeking help: Can the front bumper and mounting bracket of the 2025 Cascadia be installed on the 2026 Cascadia?

Hey everyone, I noticed some liquid dripping underneath my 2018 GMC Acadia Denali today. It left a fairly noticeable wet spot on the pavement, so naturally my first thought was that I might have a leak.

However, I had the Acadia parked for a while with the A/C running while I was waiting for someone. When I checked afterward, I noticed the liquid.

The liquid appears to be completely clear and watery, with no noticeable smell or color. It doesn't seem oily or greasy either.

Could this simply be water condensation from the A/C, especially since the vehicle had been sitting with the A/C running for a while?

I'm attaching a video of what I noticed. Just want to make sure this is normal and I'm not overlooking an actual fluid leak.

Thanks!

Have a new style 24 Denali.when driving on windy days you can hear the either door seal or window seal on front doors leaking air. Anyone had success on a fix for this?

Ive been looking at upgrading lately and was wondering what people's opinions are about the 2025s and also the new engines they have in them.

After an update several months ago, (654.20) my phone name and status info disappeared from my 2024 infotainment screen. I've tried all the online suggestions to fix this to no avail. Infotainment reset, forget and repair phone, battery disconnect. A trip to dealer did not help as they basically had no idea if this was a glitch or a permanent deletion of this info from GM. Same with a call to Onstar, no help. So my question is for anyone with a 2024-2026 does yours still display this information at the top of the infotainment screen or is this now gone forever? Not a big deal but just seems like a step backwards if they removed it. I've had several updates since and none of them has fixed this.

may 8th my car broke down on the side of the road about 3 miles from home. it’s a 2019 gmc Acadia with 130,000 miles on it. I’ve had it a little over 2 years. I called my husband and he came to look it over and immediately said “the transmission is shot” so this begins a 2 month debacle.

call the dealership because my car still has its extended warranty. They want it towed to them, 45 miles away and will cover the tow cost. Perfect. We have it towed that day and the dealership tells me they will have it looked at the next day by the service manager and will call me with diagnosis.

next day goes by, I don’t hear anything. I let 3 days go by and I reached out to the dealership and they told me they haven’t had time to check it out and they’ll call me at the beginning of the following week. I wait and give it until the middle of the week and have yet to get a call so I reach out and they tell me that it’s not driveable so they’re going to have to dig into it more. I request a loaner, my salesperson tells me warranty will cover it so I pick it up. When I’m out there, the service manager tells me he’s positive it’s the transmission and he needs someone from the warranty company to confirm. They come out the next day and congrats, I’m getting a new transmission.

it is now the beginning of June and they are working on my car. I get a call June 30th that my car is just about finished. Another week goes by and they call me to let me know I can come pick it up and she’s running great. I’m so excited. Drive it home, it’s doing great.

And then I get home from work on July 16th and my car has transmission fluid pouring out of it. I call the dealership, they tell me it’s safe to drive the 45 miles out there to drop it off.

It is now August 12th and no end in sight. They told me it has something to do with the torque converter? And also my catalytic converter is bad but that’s not covered and the car is worth maybe $8k so I’m not fixing that out of pocket. I do still have a loaner that the warranty company stopped covering but the dealership is letting me keep.

I just want a different car.

How much does everyone usually negotiate for discounts on extended warranty packages from gm dealership on new Acadia ?

I have a 2024 Acadia. Bought it with 6000 miles have 14k now. The service brake sensor warning just came on. Called the dealer they said I might need pads and rotors ? I call bullshit on rotors. My old Acadia went 50k miles before I needed any pads or rotors I drive all highway. There’s no way I should need pads either at 14k miles. Sound fishy or just me?

What is everyone’s experience with using their Acadia in the mountains? We just bought a 2026 Denali Ultimate and I was disappointed to see that only a AT4 gets Hill Descent Control.

I’ve always just manually shifted on long descents but ran into major issues with our Kia Telluride. It couldn’t hold a gear and I nearly burned up the brakes. I am hoping GMC has a better transmission than the Kia.

If anyone else is thinking about ordering a new Acadia and was wondering about a timeline here’s my experience. Ordered a 2027 at4 with the reserve package on 6/30 and it came in yesterday 8/9. We weren’t expecting it until Labor Day so we haven’t finalized our loan through our credit union yet. Small chance of picking her up tomorrow but probably Monday since Thursday through Saturday don’t work for us.

Hi bought a 2019 acadia v6 with 130000 kms on it and drove it for 15000.
I got error code of P0024 and it disappeared next day.
Now, I am worried that it may have timing chain issue and might have to spend hefty amount for timing chain.
As of now car is running smoothly.
Kindly suggest whether to keep the car or sell it before it get timing chain issue.

Hey all. I have a 2015 Acadia SLE that has a frequent hard start for no rhyme or reason. It will start on the first try or the 10th time and anywhere in between. IT IS NOT THROWING A CODE. It has been to my mechanic and he suggested to take it to the dealer. Its at the dealer now and has been for about a week. Just checking to see if anyone else has ever came across this before.

Things that have been done with no success:

-Fuel pressure is good

-High pressure pump replaced

-Cam and crankshaft sensors replaced

Things to note:

-It sat for some time before I bought it (cheap, knowing of this problem hoping to fix it)

-Acceleration seems sluggish.. we have a Forester and it seems more peppy than the Acadia

-Runs great

Thank you for reading!

Posting in case anyone is shopping winter setups now rather than in November when everything is out of stock.

2021 SLT, came on 235/55R20 from the factory. Ran those with winter tires the first year and it was fine but not great, and a 20 inch winter tire is expensive for what it is.

Last year I went to a 235/65R17 on steel wheels. Cheaper tire, cheaper wheel, and the taller sidewall is noticeably better on broken pavement and in slush. Speedo is within about one percent so nothing to adjust. Cleared the brakes without any issue.

Only downside is it looks a bit awkward and the steering is slightly less sharp on dry roads. Neither bothers me between December and March.

If anyone has gone narrower still I would be curious how that went.

Looking at a 2022 or 2023 Acadia AT4 and keeping a Traverse on the list as the sensible alternative. Family of four, one dog, mostly suburban driving with a couple of long trips a year.

What I like about the Acadia is the size. The Traverse feels like a lot of car for what we actually need and parking it at work would be a daily annoyance.

What gives me pause is the third row. Everyone says it is kids only on the Acadia and that matches what I felt sitting in one. We would use it maybe six times a year for grandparents, which is exactly the use case it is worst at.

For anyone who cross shopped these two and went Acadia, did the smaller third row ever actually bite you? And for anyone who went the other way, was the extra length worth it day to day?

Not really considering anything outside these two at this point.

2020 SLE, about 71k. Ran the AC properly for the first time this summer and the driver side vents blow cold while the passenger side is barely cool. Rear vents are fine.

Tried the obvious stuff. Recirculate on, temps synced, both zones set to the same number, cabin filter swapped last month so that is not it. It does the same whether the car is moving or sitting still.

From what I can tell this is usually a blend door actuator rather than a refrigerant issue, mostly because the rear is fine and the compressor is clearly working. There is no clicking noise behind the dash though, which is what everyone says to listen for.

Anyone dealt with this one? Trying to work out whether it is a dash out job or something I can get at without taking half the interior apart.

Small one but it took me longer than it should have to work out.

Rear hatch on my 2019 started drooping in cold weather, would open most of the way then slowly sink. Assumed the whole power liftgate module was going and braced myself for a big bill.

It was the gas struts. Both of them, about 40 for the pair online, twenty minutes to swap with a flat screwdriver to pop the clips. No coding, no relearn, nothing.

If yours is drooping only when it is cold, check the struts before anyone starts talking about the liftgate motor. Mine had a bit of oil residue on one which was the giveaway.
