Truck has a horrible fuel system. Driving down the highway and lost power in vehicle. Less than 90K miles. 2 bad fuel injectors already, a fuel pump replacement, not to mention other mechanical issues.

Acadia 6-cyl

  • 16,000 miles
Beginning about 4 months after I bought the vehicle, the fuel gauge began to malfunction. The gauge fluctuates from half full to empty. Many times the gauge shows 1/4 to empty but the tank is empty. I have run out of gas numerous times (at least 10 times) over the last 2 years because the gauge shows I have gas and the tank is empty. Took it to the dealer on numerous occasions and the dealer said they checked it but found no problem. This is a dangerous situation when traveling on the freeway at high speed and I lose all power steering and brakes. I now have to fill up the tank when the gauge reads half empty to avoid running out of gas. The gauge is completely unreliable.
