Just wanted to detail my experience on the purchase of my new 2020 Acadia SLT.

I've owned it for about 3 Months now and I am really loving the thing. It's everything I expected, but have noticed a few quirks though with the 9 Speed transmission. Some times it jumps when accelerating though the low end gears. Don't know if this due to the way I'm applying the gas or but it a little annoying some time.

The rear wiper blade has not worked since Day 1. I don't remember if I checked it during the vehicle orientation, but the 1st time I went to use it it didn't work. The rear washer pump works but not the wiper blade. Interestingly, the Fuse Box lists Fuse 15 for Rear Wiper 1 and Fuse 48 for Rear Wiper 2, but Fuse 48 in the front Fuse box is blank on my version. Brought this for the attention of the Service tech when I brought it in and he couldn't tell on the schematic what Fuse 48, Rear Wiper 2 was connected to. They suspect its the motor and have to remove the rear Lift Gate panel to access. Will update on progress

The rear Lift Gate, hands free, kick feature also stopped working after 6 weeks. When you are within 3 feet of the rear the of the vehicle, a GMC logo is projected on the ground where you can kick to open the rear Lift Gate. There is also the ability to set/turn off this feature within the infotainment setting. During service, apparently it was discovered that the Rear Keyless Entry Antenna was physically damaged. Said they would have to charge $$$. Cordially denied the service to investigate further.

So, that's about it. Will post pix as soon as we get some sun.
