GMC Acadia
2007-2008
Same thing as with the aforementioned Ford Explorer – Acadia too suffers from faulty transmission. That doesn’t come as a surprise given the fact first-gen Acadia has the already mentioned GM-Ford 6-speed automatic trans in it. From what I’ve been able to confirm, early Acadia’s tranny has been known to go bust after as little as 35,000 miles. It’s usually the 3,5,R wave plate that goes bust which requires a complete transmission overhaul. In other words, that’s at least $2,000 worth of repair costs, and since their warranties are long expired, guess who’ll have to pay that?! If you’re in a market for used 2007-2008 GMC Acadia, pay extra attention to detail when it comes to this issue. It also wouldn’t hurt asking if the car was already a subject of such repairs.
