NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
For the 2022 GMC Acadia, engine and fuel/propulsion system complaints make up the largest share of what owners report. On the engine side, owners frequently describe the check engine light appearing, often tied to emissions system faults that require dealer diagnosis and repair. The fuel and propulsion complaints follow a similar pattern of warning lights and drivability concerns. The next notable cluster involves the lane departure and forward collision warning systems, owners report the "Front Assist Blocked" message appearing, with the front camera flagged as failed; in some cases the problem returned shortly after the dealer replaced the camera. A smaller number of owners also mention interior rattles and persistent water leaks that dealers have attempted to fix more than once without lasting success.

By System
The 2022 GMC Acadia has 5 recalls, the most serious being a fuel tank rollover valve that can fail to seal in a rollover crash, allowing fuel to leak and raising the risk of fire. This recall only affects AWD models.
Two recalls address the same left-rear suspension toe link, which may not have been properly tightened and can work loose or separate entirely. When that happens, the rear wheel loses its alignment and the vehicle can become unstable or difficult to control. There is also an airbag concern: on certain vehicles, the airbag control module may have been left in a manufacturing mode and never fully activated before the vehicle left the assembly plant, meaning the airbags will not deploy in a crash.
