Holden Problems

It is worth fixing, you will only have more trouble if you don’t. Cost depends on the engine. If it’s a V6 it could cost as much as $3000, a 4-cylinder less.

Without hearing the car firsthand it’s impossible to speculate on what might be wrong with your car, but I would suggest that it’s unlikely to be the spark plugs. Your best course of action would be to get a mechanic to check it for you.

You can’t. It’s filled with fluid in the factory and that’s it for the life of the car. If you want it checked or changed an automatic transmission mechanic could do it for you.

The GMC Acadia, also known as the Holden Acadia, is sold in both rear wheel drive and all wheel drive formats. Due to the all wheel drive model not offering the option to lock diffs or hubs, it is not considered a 4x4.

The GMC Acadia is 4917mm.

It sounds like it could have the dreaded Cruze auto transmission problem. Take it to a Holden dealer, or an automatic transmission mechanic and have them check it.

It won’t fit without a lot of engineering. If you seriously want to do it you will need to talk to a qualified engineer recognised by Vicroads, and have a large amount of money at your disposal.

It’s most likely the battery in the key needs replacing. Have you tried the spare key?

The GMC Acadia doesn't enjoy the reliability of its Japanese competitors, but when properly maintained and driven sympathetically, it should not have any major reliability dramas.  

If you lose your keys or lock them inside your car then you will need to ring a locksmith to have the vehicle professionally opened. Modern cars today have sophisticated security systems that can't be bypassed by jimmying the lock with a coathanger, or hotwiring the ignition.
