""Hard shifts between 2nd and 3rd gear. This has been a problem since the vehicle was new. Does not do it all the time, but when it does it is very harsh. Dealership has told me previously that this is common on these transmissions""
Anonymous A., AB (2014 GMC Acadia SLT 3.6-L V6)"My GMC is a 2011, not a 2014. Occasionally, it would slip when taking off. Then one day, it would not go forward, but would backup. I have noticed many of these vehicles are being sold with transmission issues. This makes me believe it is a chronic issue with that particular model."

"This problem with the vehicle happens intermittently. I am driving along and all of a sudden the back end slips. Its almost as if there is a differential in the back that loses grip somehow. I only have front wheel drive. I would expect something like that more if I had rear Drive wheels. I havent found anything on the Internet that would explain this."
