Common Problems in the GMC Acadia (2020-2025 Models)

Many GMC Acadia owners have reported serious defects that impact the vehicle’s performance and safety. These issues include:

  • Transmission failure: Owners have reported jerky shifting, transmission slippage, and even total failure—some within just a few thousand miles of purchase.
  • Drivetrain malfunctions: Problems with the torque converter, gear shifting hesitation, and AWD system failures have left many drivers stranded.
  • Engine stalling and power loss: Some drivers have experienced random stalling or hesitation while accelerating, creating dangerous driving conditions.
  • Electrical malfunctions: Reports of failing infotainment systems, battery drain issues, and faulty sensors are common in newer Acadia models.

Are These Problems Covered by Lemon Law?

If your GMC Acadia has suffered from these or other recurring defects that the dealership cannot fix after multiple repair attempts, your vehicle may qualify as a lemon under California’s Lemon Law or similar laws in other states.
