2009 GMC Acadia Questions & Answers

  • What happens when you "ride" your GMC's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my GMC tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. Defying your Acadia towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • When should I have my Acadia's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2009 Acadia’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your GMC. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my GMC Acadia leak transmission fluid? Yes, your GMC Acadia can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Acadia ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues.
