[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have GMC Acadia which is Traverse and like it a lot [/quote]

We do too (ours is 2014) and we hate ours.  It's been a big headache and way to costly.  Had to replace both rear shock absorbers and some related parts just 3 yrs after buying new - I've never had to replace shock absorbers in any car I've ever owned (~$800)  Rear AC component failed ($1,200), new sway bar and front control arms ($2,000) to rid knocking sounds in suspension, headlight assembly replacement ($450).  Warped rotor issues ($900) despite regular maintenance at dealership.  And roughly $2,000 in other misc $500 repairs over a 5 year period.

Ours has only 50K miles on it and is only driven on pavement - as our family car.  We would have never bought it if we knew it was going to cost us over $7,300 in repairs PLUS all the normal service maintenance costs (some of which run over $600).  [/quote]

I bought the seven year bumper to bumper warranty with car. It just ended. My Acadia has 40K miles on it and is a 2012. I had a lot of AC issues all under warranty. Would have cost a lot. Last wacky issue out of warranty by a few weeks it kept flashing theft and a few weeks below flashing traction control issue. Turns out when batter is near end of life starts this crap. Needed it towed in as shut off right on road and would not restart even with jump. After new battery clearing codes it left me stranded a few days later. This time guy forgot to reprogram keys which you need to do after battery changing and clearing codes. I barely made it back. It is something you can do yourself by running through pushing various buttons but I was stranded and did not know.

I like it a lot as how it drives. And up to a few weeks ago all repairs were like AC and stuff that did not leave me stranded. But yes had around 5,000 of repairs done under warranty. Some GM cars give really long warranties. I have a 2011 Cadillac that comes with up to a nine year extended warranty from GM. I bought it so I have nine years of paying no repairs. Lot of foreign cars wont go that long. Like my toyota which was bad as it gave no problems til year 7 and by then no warranty       [/quote]
Holy mackerel, I’m on my second Acadia (2011 and 2016) and other than a slight electrical issue with the first one they’ve given me 200K miles total with no issues. [/quote]

You are very lucky. [/quote]
