No but my wife's 09 Acadia's transmission just went out... I called GM, the car was out of warranty by a year, but was still under the mileage warranty.. They covered 55% of the cost... Wound up paying 1500 on it....
this is a known issue with 07-09 acadias ours dropped at 70k thank goodness the 5/100 was still in. I didn't pay dime plus gm paid my tow bill.

Wait till the timing chains stretch and you have to pay for that job!
Entire engine, transmission and front subframe assembly have to come out of the vehicle for the job to be done...
GM extended the warranty up to 120k miles I think though. Problem starts with a check engine code that says something like "cam to crank sensor position fault". Had to bring mine to 2 dealers. Went to first one armed with all the info I found online about the problem. Even had a copy of the technical service bulletin. Dumbfrick service writer there wouldn't even look at the timing chains unless I would have replaced the crank sensor, which he was sure the problem was. That was Brian Harris GMC in Slidell. I went literally right next door to Levis Chevrolet the next morning and by 2 pm they confirmed it was the chains, and had all the parts ordered. Would have been a $2k+ job without warranty.
