The center dash screen on my wife's 2023 Acadia Denali has just started going black every time a mobile csll comes in. Once the call is over, screen comes back to life. Anyone else experiencing that issue? -
Hey! So, I'll give you the quick history... Over the last year we've replaced 3 coil packs. It started with a miss and the dealership recommended a top engine clean and repair of an engine mount. We did that and it didn’t fix it. So they changed one of the coil packs and that did fix it. Then a few months later the miss appeared again and a different dealership replaced another coil pack, at that time at the different dealer they also changed the spark plugs for the other cylinders on that bank (1,3,5 ), the coil pack they changed was #3. Then right before Christmas another coil pack. And now it started missing again and this time I took it to dealer and they said it was the #3 and #4 coil packs. Which the #3 was just changed in July. That one is covered under the GM 2 year parts and labor warranty and at the local dealer we go to they said they didn't record which coil packs they changed before ??. But I had record from the other dealership that it was #3 for the one in July. My question is, what is causing these failures? To have the dealer fix them is like 400 each time! I'm probably going to do the fixing myself from here on if this keeps happening. I just want to understand why it's failing? Are they not gapping the plugs right? I would imagine they are checking for leaks and moisture once they are in there? I’m starting to not have any faith in them and want to understand everything better so I can be more knowledgeable and prepared for our next conversation at least.

John Goreham Contributing Writer, GM-Trucks.com 2-19-2019 GMC has updated the Acadia for 2020. The biggest news is the drivetrain lineup. The familiar 2.5L I-4 and the 3.6L V-6 engines remain standard or optional equipment for the 2020 Acadia dependent on the trim level selected, but GMC is adding a new 2.0-liter turbocharged engine to the lineup. The engine is has a GMC-estimated 230 horsepower (172 kW) and 258 lb-ft of torque (350 Nm). The turbo is a dual-scroll design developed to enhance low-speed torque delivery. Peak torque is available from 1,500 to 4,000 rpm, for an exceptional feeling of responsiveness, which means that in normal driving more torque will be available than from the V6, which has 271 lb-ft, but at a much higher RPM point. GMC is also adding a "tripower valvetrain" that complements the turbocharging system to make the most of the engine’s available power at all speeds. The turbo four can actually run on just two cylinders under light loads courtesy of GM's now ubiquitous active fuel management. It will be interesting to see how the fuel economy numbers pan out for this new turbo. The engines are coupled to a new 9-speed automatic. GMC has removed the gear shift lever and instead, the Acadia now has Electronic Precision Shift, which enables more storage room in the center console by replacing the conventional transmission shifter with an electronically controlled gear selection consisting of intuitive push buttons and pull triggers. GMC specifically mentioned that all of the engines have auto stop-start, but there is a switch to turn off this annoying feature most drivers don't like. GM did not mention if the system will stay off. In addition to a new interior style, the 2020 Acadia has a lot of new tech improvements. Here they are in bullet-point format: - Personal profile allows users to tailor the infotainment system to their preferences, including audio, available navigation (requires subscription to compatible Connected Services) and climate settings, and even transfer those preferences to another GM vehicle with a compatible infotainment system. Up to four profiles can be assigned to the system and they can be assigned to the Acadia’s key fobs, automatically resetting the preferences for the incoming driver. - All-new Navigation interface with “one shot” destination entry feature, improved Route Guidance functionality and personalized settings. - Connected Navigation offers real-time updates, as well as Predictive Navigation and additional information provided by a cloud database. (Feature requires a Connected Navigation trial or subscription and connectivity.) - USB-C ports. Two new USB-C charging ports are integrated in the front and rear of the center console. That brings the number of ports in the Acadia to five, including a USB-A charging port for the third-row seating area. - Next-generation, 15-watt wireless charging (available). - High Definition Rear Vision Camera upgraded to digital (standard on SLT, AT4 or Denali and available on SLE). - New Rear Camera Mirror available on Denali. - Head-Up display (later in the model year) An AT4 trim will have all-terrain tires, standard AWD, and some design cues to lure those who want an off-road look. The new 2020 GMC Acadia goes on sale this fall. It will be assembled at GM’s Spring Hill, Tennessee, assembly plant.

Zane Merva Executive Editor, GM-Trucks.com 2/16/2016 GMC recently took the wraps off the completely new, 700-lbs lighter, and more fuel efficient midsize Acadia. Now we can add "cheaper" to the list as well. The brand announced today that when it goes on sale next spring, the Acadia will cost nearly two-thousand dollars less than the 2016 model. Standard equipment on the base model SL includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The brand will continue to offer front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive variants in SL, SLE, SLT, All-Terrain, and Denali trims.

Our take on the crossovers from GM is that they will be changing and they will be more aligned with the competition's model sizes. It is too early to tell how it will all shake out. -
GM also announced it is recalling 90 (yup, just 90) 2016 Silverados and Sierras because a mounting stud for an airbag sensor was improperly positioned during assembly. All 90 were built on October 13th and 14th. Again, this was during the period of the voting for the new contract, in this case just before the vote. The defect also occurred on the Tuesday and Wednesday following a Monday holiday, Columbus Day. You can check right here at this link to see if your vehicle is affected by either recall. -
John Goreham Contributing Writer, GM-Trucks.com 1/6/2016 General Motors is recalling 2,633 Acadia, Traverse, Enclave 2016 models all made at the Lansing Michigan plant. The affected vehicles could have a defective weld in the third-row seat assembly that is a safety concern according to NHTSA. The welds were applied during November from the 6th to the 12th of the month. A few days before that the Union that represents the line workers held a vote on the new contract. It narrowly passed. 43% of the workers at the plant voted against it. The period also coincided with a holiday (Veterans Day) and a weekend. This is almost certainly a coincidence. Recalls happen so often now, and often to so few vehicles it is hard to know what we should highlight.

The 2017 Acadia will still offer third-row seating in most trims. Five, six, and seven-passenger seating arrangements are available. Usability is still an emphasis, and the second row of seats will fold flat for cargo hauling. Rick Spina, executive chief engineer for compact and crossover SUVs at General Motors, said, “It’s a vehicle that offers the functionality Acadia is known for while delivering big advantages and balance to customers’ everyday lives.” Acadias with AWD will have an off-road mode, but the new All-Terrain trim will replace that with an All-Terrain setting that has enhanced hill-climbing abilities. GMC is emphasizing its Active Twin Clutch all-wheel drive technology. The All-Terrain is only to be offered in five-passenger seating if we read GM’s specifications correctly. Trailering up to 4,000 pounds will be possible with the Acadia when equipped with its trailer package. The mid-size crossover segment is all about family needs, and thus, the new 2017 Acadia will have a long list of passive and active safety features. GMC specifically designed the new Acadia to do well on the IIHS’ small frontal overlap test. With its advanced active safety suite, the new Acadia should earn the Top Safety Pick Plus rating. Here is a list of some of the safety features that will be available: • New Front Pedestrian Braking • New Low-Speed Forward Automatic Braking (standard on SLT-2 and Denali) • New Forward Automatic Braking (available on Denali) • New Following Distance Indicator • New IntelliBeam automatic headlamp high-beam control • New Surround Vision camera system • New Safety Alert Seat • Forward Collision Alert • Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning • Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert • Front and Rear Parking Assist. Clearly GMC wants to continue the success of the Acadia. Downsizing is an interesting move by the company. There have been no fuel economy projections yet for AWD vehicles but expect significant improvements over the 2016 model.
