2010 GMC Acadia Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2010 GMC Acadia widens the trim range to four — Base, SL, SLE and SLT — while the mechanical package stays as it was: a naturally aspirated 3.6L DOHC V6 displacing 217 cubic inches in a four-door sport utility. One engine across four trims means the engine chapters read the same for every car, and the differences worth chasing are in the body and electrical sections, which the wiring diagrams and component locations in this manual set out trim by trim.

Known issues on the 2010 Acadia. Four recalls stand on the federal record. Two involve restraints directly: a safety belt whose steel cable can fatigue and separate, and a second-row trim shield that stops the belt buckle rotating up into position after the seat back is folded and returned. A third covers seat-mounted side air bag harnesses with enough added resistance to prevent the bags and pretensioners deploying, and the fourth an open liftgate that can drop onto whoever is beneath it. Of 348 complaints, steering dominates with 148, then the engine at 58 and the power train at 36 — steering, engine and driveline diagnostics all live here.
