[2012Acadiagmc]

This has been my experience. Is this normal? I have a 2014 Acadia with 150,000 kms mileage

Bought extended warranty. Dealer charged for inspection prior to warranty expiration. Several items found including needing new struts but nothing was covered under the extended warranty as it was deemed normal wear and tear. My vehicle had less than 100,000 kms mileage at the time. I felt ripped off for paying for the extended warranty.

This is what has gone wrong with my Acadia since warranty expired

1) New Transmission $7,000
2) New Front Struts
3) New rear shocks.
4) New front wiper motors and Assembly $1,000
5) New front driver wheel bearing $1,000
6) Drivers door hinge replacement.
7) Several missing/broken Radio/HVAC knobs. The onyx cover of one radio knob fell off. Part was $100 to replace for a simple knob.
8) New Front and rear AC condenser.
9) Several AC refrigerant charges.
10) leather seats are fraying on side of seat cushions.

This and more with mileage less than 150,000 kms and a lot with less than 100,000 kms

I thought I did my research. Got a secondhand one from the dealer with 60k, one previous owner, and all maintenance records from the dealership- $24k. In less than 4 years, we have just reached $20k in repairs, not including the routine maintenance.
Fuel line leaked into the gas tank
Full transmission flush
All fuel injectors replaced
Air conditioner went out
Heater went out
Lift gate nearly crushed me with a malfunction that was recalled- still had to pay $100 😒
Transfer case broke and leaked into the fluid. Another transmission flush. Less than a week after the transfer case, the ECM went bad, causing my car to stall while driving. Nobody could diagnose the ECM, even though the symptoms are all over the internet. It spent 10 weeks in 2 different shops and a dealership since nobody could diagnose it without codes. The ECM is on a “National back order” so there is no eta. GMC is unresponsive at a National level (I reached out via social media bc I was at my wits end) but I was very happy with my local GMC technician. Not enough to ever buy from GMC again, though.
