Still no substantial complaints. MPG 4 cylinder disappoints, avg mixed about 26 mpg. Power driver's seat not supportive enough, uncomfortable after 30 mins. Engine - A/C noisy in ECO mode. All things considered Not Bad. The pros: everything else: easy in and out, stylish inside and out, all power except lift gate, heated power seats, heated power mirrors, windows, great infotainment, GMC upscale std features. NO PROBLEMS, NO REPAIRS, NO EXPENSIVE SURPRISES. Tire note: original Firestone Destination LE lasted 72,000 miles! Recently installed 4 Vredestein Quatrack 5 (from Netherlands). What a BIG, BIG difference! Much smoother and quieter ride, better handling, with a full chart of 8+++ attributes. This review is likely the last for the Terrain.

Blown Engine due to oil consumption

I noticed early that the 2013 Terrain was using old quickly. I gave the car to my daughter and told her to watch it close. Well, she was getting oil changed when needed but it ran low and engine blew in November of 2019. It was not until this week that I was notified by a GMC dealer of some oil consumption program or fix. Too late for me. We had to trade in the car so my daughter would have a vehicle. Doubt I will ever by a GMC again. GMC should gave addressed this or ar least reached out to owners long ago.

I just bought a 2013 Terrain SLE-1 FWD. I really like the vehicle, but the build quality is terrible, There a 1/4" gap on the left front side between the hood and headlight/fender. Also, on the right side, the front and rear doors do not align. QC must of had the day off when they built this one. I didnt not notice these things til I got home and really looked it over. I am taking it back to the dealership tomorrow to get a different one as this one has who knows how many other defects. I hope they do me right as I really like the Terrain, it has decent power, is really quite, and the interior is super nice. I will post an update in a day or two and let you know how GMC handles this.
Issues all the time!

Bought brand new. The key switch has been an issue since the first week we owned it. If the steering wheel isn't perfectly straight when you park it, the key binds until you turn the steering wheel and turn the key at the same time. It randomly has binding issues when you attempt to turn the key off. This issue has been around since new and it still has not been resolved. If you lean against the door panels, the color wears off. I test drove it and the seat was in the correct position for me. I didn't know until my wife drove it after I got home, that the power seat is only half power! You manually slide it forward and back and tilt is controlled by power. The blend door actuator went out when it was cold and I had no defrost. The brakes squeal in the morning and stop making noises after the second time you brake. I took it in to the dealership and they took everything apart and greased everything and it was making noises when I drove it the next morning and has since! The engine makes noises the first 3-5 seconds when you start it in the morning. Dealership said it was caused by oil being a little bit low, but checked it when I got home and it was right at the line. Better get the extended warranty!

I have had 2 of these, both with timing issues, burning through oil like crazy. I had to add 2 quarts of oil every 1500 miles. So cheap oil changes once a month instead. They are not road quiet at all! I wouldn't reccomend this car to anyone ever.
