My car has been in the shop off and on 4 times in the last 5 months for the same noise.

  Why not take the Terrain to the dealer and let them check it out. Our 2010 Terrain has approximately 20,000 miles and has been OK. Let us know what you find in case anyone has similar issues in future. Thanks, Cosmo

I know my resale value is nothing now, nobody is going to buy a car that sounds the way it does, not to mention the sound when you press the gas. I bought this car because of the advertised gas mileage and the room it has in the back for my boys sports equipment. Now, I am apprehensive ... Read More

  A real shame about the problems with the 4 cyl, the vast majority of Terrrain and Equinox problems relate to the 4 cyl. while the 6 cyl. seems trouble free.

  It is a 4 cyl. I traded in my Ford Expedition to downsize and get better gas mileage. I have regretted that decision. I would like GMC to buy back this particular vehicle. I have gone to JAG to inquire about our states lemon laws.

  The 2010 Terrain benefits from the same updates as this year's redesigned Equinox. Under the hood is a torquey base four-cylinder that offers best-in-class fuel economy and competitive acceleration. There's also an available direct-injected 3.0-liter V6 that's similarly competitive in terms of fuel economy and power. Inside, the Terrain boasts a snazzy center stack and attractive control layout that make its rivals' cabins seem dull and unimaginative by comparison. An abundance ... Read More
