but they seem to have a lot of problems?

We have an 07 Acadia. Had the known issue with the timing chain stretch. The GMC Dealer was being assholes about warrantying it. (GM extended the warranty to 120000 miles for the issue instead of recalling and it's a $3500 job otherwise). But the Chevy Dealer right next door(literally) took care of it, no questions asked.

There was also a major issue with the sunroof drains leaking into the body and dash causing electrical issues. (I purposefully didn't get one with a sunroof for that reason)

Otherwise, we love the car. Get bench seats in the 2nd row if u have kids. Makes it so much easier to get to the 3rd row.

I believe those issues have been resolved with the updated refresh GMC did on the entire Lambda platform(codename for all the GM vehicles that are on that chassis).
