Problem overview

Some GMC Acadia owners report experiencing starting problems, which may stem from issues such as a weak or dead battery, fuel system faults, ignition system problems, or electrical issues. These starting difficulties can be exacerbated by factors like corrosion on battery terminals, a dead key fob battery, or a malfunctioning alternator.
