Acadia: a GMC Parts and Accessories Buyer's Guide for North Carolina

Your Acadia is pure GMC -- capable, comfortable, and expertly equipped. Of course, whether you're customizing that mid-size SUV you love, or just repairing a few common problems it can have, you'll have to keep in mind, on the one hand, the key feature differences between trims -- between, say, a base trim, like SLE, and an off-road beast, like AT4, or between a step up, like SLT, and the pinnacle of stylish and sophisticated, like Denali. That way, you get the right parts and accessories for the job.

Good thing you came to us here at GM Wholesale Direct for advice. We've got all the info you need on both.

GMC Acadia Overview

Take the 2023 GMC Acadia, for example, starting out at just under $40,000 for the SLE trim and peaking at about $50,000 for Denali. Like many of its predecessors, it's got a choice between two engines: a turbocharged 228-horsepower four-cylinder, which comes standard, and a 310-horsepower V6, which is optional. Both, however, are teamed with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive (FWD) is standard, but all-wheel drive (AWD) is available. Spring for the V6 and AWD, and it might run you $2,500 extra or so.

Popular standard and optional features include:

  • Heated front seats with leather upholstery
  • An adaptive suspension
  • In-dash infotainment and navigation system with Wi-Fi hotspot
  • A hands-free tailgate
  • LED headlights
  • The thing is, most of these are standard or available on SLT and higher trims. So, know your model year, trim, and features, and whether to buy this part or that accessory for your Acadia gets a lot easier.

    Common GMC Acadia Problems

    Regardless of trim, Acadia has issues you might run into from time to time. Here are three of the commonest from the 2000s and 2010s.

    1. Faulty Transmissions

    Is the Check Engine light on in your Acadia? If you're having trouble reversing, or feeling slippage or shifting harshly in third or fifth gear, most likely, you've got a bad transmission -- more specifically, a broken 35R clutch wave plate. Run an inspection and see error codes like P0716, P0717, P0776, P0777, P2714, P2715, or P02723, and it's practically certain.

    This was a known issue for models from between 2007 and 2015, and it can show up at any mileage, though usually, at 250,000 miles or so or less. You'll have to take out the transmission, take it apart, clean out any debris from the break, and replace the broken plate.

    2. Engine Defects

    If your Acadia is from between 2007 and 2012, and it's got 190,000 miles or less, you might've already started seeing a Check Engine light on the dash. Seeing error codes like P0011, P0014, P0021, P0024, P0336, P0341, P0346, or P0391 upon inspection, though, and more than likely, you've got a faulty powertrain control module (PCM). It'll need a software update -- something usually done at a GM dealer.

    If that's not the issue, though, it could be a case of too much camshaft end play on the cylinder heads -- something almost always fixed by a certified GM service center.

    3. Bad Gas Caps

    Check Engine lights on Acadia models from between 2007 and 2014 -- often, those with 100,000 miles or less -- have other explanations than transmission failure or problems with this or that part of an engine. In some cases, the light can come on for no other reason than a loose if not worn-out gas cap. That turns out to be your problem, all you'll probably have to do is replace the cap.
