Some GMC Acadia owners report experiencing intermittent starting issues that persist even after spending significant amounts on repairs, such as $3000. These starting problems can be difficult to diagnose, particularly if the root cause is not easily identifiable. Additionally, the requirement for the engine light to be off for the vehicle to start suggests potential issues with the engine control unit (ECU) or other electrical components. Owners have noted that repairs related to the electrical systems can be costly, and the initial expenses may not cover all underlying issues, especially if they are recurring. It is crucial for owners to work with qualified mechanics or dealerships that specialize in GMC vehicles to ensure accurate diagnosis and resolution of the starting issue. If problems continue, seeking a second opinion may be necessary to explore all possible causes thoroughly.
