Your least reliable vehicle ever.

Recommended Posts

2007 GMC Acadia.  Brand new platform and first year.  We special ordered it was soon they were taking orders.  Waited months to get it.  From a design and features standpoint it was perfect for our family.  
 

problems from day one.  Transmission programming, sunroof leaks, squeaky brake pedal, moaning steering.  The dealer really tried, replaced the steering rack, pump, column, master cylinder, and performed numerous TSBs. It made so many awful sounds we named it Mona. 
 

Final straw was when the water pump failed, it overheated, shutdown and left my wife and son stranded on the road.  
 

Traded it in with only 41,000 miles on it, and she’s been in a Yukon and Tahoe ever since.  Still to this day she says that was her favorite car from a design and fitting her needs standpoint.  But she refuses to get another because of the experience with that one.

My current 2019 Silverado probably. 8 warranty service visits in around 2 years.

-rear window leak 2x

-oil cooler line leak (last month)

-total brake failure

-rear brake squeal (current)

-parking sensor module failure

-steering column replaced for loose shifter

-3 phantom check engine lights, one flashing

-2 phantom service ESC lights

-third brake light filled with water

-various software bugs (some still persist)

 

It’s never stranded me though. The brake failure and flashing check engine almost did, but they occurred close to home and fixed themselves on the next key cycle.
