I purchased a 2013 GMC Acadia from car max on February 16th of this year. After 3 weeks the battery was completely dead, but car max reimbursed the cost to replace. Fast forward to may 24th. . . As I try to leave from work the vehicle would not start. The dash displayed several messages: reduced engine power, stabilitrak off, and battery saver active. The vehicle was towed to tire kingdom and the diagnosis was a bad fuel pump/fuel pump module. The part was replaced and computer reset. All was well for 3 days and the same problem occurred including a dead battery! I drove the vehicle approximately three more days before the same issue happened again. This time, I had it towed to the GMC dealership. They had my vehicle from June 5th- June 12th and even though they received 6 error codes, they stated it was the battery (the same one replaced in February and was recharged a week prior). I was sure that wasn't the only problem, but they were confident it was. I had to pay $508 out of pocket for battery/ diagnostic because my warranty only covers the diagnostic with repairs. All seemed well for 3 days. This time after starting the vehicle and reaching my destination the truck would not shut off! I immediately called GMC (cel illuminated) and after 10 minutes the engine shut off. I took it to them the next day and they started it had a bad fues block. They repaired it, but 8 days later the vehicle wouldn't start again! on July 2nd it was taken to a shop for the 6th time! this time they are saying it is the ecm. I purchased this vehicle because my husband's 2003 GMC yukon has 286,000 miles and little things are starting to go. Ironically it has been more reliable than this 2013!! I have only had this vehicle for 4 months and have already paid out over $1000 in repairs/deductables. What a nightmare!.
