2010 GMC Terrain SLE-2 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 6A)

I drive 40,000 miles a year, and I will say that this is a reliable vehicle but the good ends there. when my full size Ford F-150 4x4 gets better mileage there is definitely something wrong here. I averaged slightly under 20 mpg over the coarse of 35,000 miles. driving gravel roads the cab fills with dust and i gave up cleaning the interior. i have the 3.0L v-6 and it is gutless, absolutely no power. also I am 6' 1" and head room is non- existent. I have no idea why people like this vehicle for anything besides the looks. the seats are rock hard, cruise control acts goofy, I hate the way the transmission shifts, climate control doesn't work the way it should.
Good SUV--but---

I purchased my 2010 Terrain after evaluating a number of SUV's. I almost bought the Chevy Equinox but fell in love with the Terrain during the test drive. For the last 7 years the vehicle has been virtually trouble free and very dependable. However--right at 56K miles there was a catastrophic failure of the transmission which required a total rebuild. The Wave Plate, along with a number of other components, basically flew apart. On the positive front the dealership took very good care of me and gave me an excellent loaner vehicle and kept me informed. I had no out of pocket expense because it was covered by the drive train warranty. The vehicle has always been the subject of a number of recalls. None of them very serious however. But, the last one involved the fuel pump and I have noticed better performance from the engine and fuel efficiency since that recall took place. (Still not really clear on what they fixed.)

Edmonds requested I update my review, even though I had traded this vehicle in prior to writing my review of it. The only thing I can add, is that since we traded it in four years ago, we have received at least twenty recall advisories or letters from attorneys requesting we take part in class action suits. I have no idea if newer models have improved, but our experience with the 2010 model was enough to keep me from even considering another GMC product in this class. Want a good, reliable, small AWD? I recommend the Subaru Outback. Great mileage, lots of room and outstanding AWD. There is a reason you see more of them than any other vehicle in snow country.

We have had 4 recalls. Every time we take the car in to the dealership it takes days to get it fixed, after being promised it should be a 4 hour fix. They also try and charge us every time and they try and tell us it's not under warranty so we have to prove it. The computer is a joke and the engine continues to have issues idling. Don't buy this vehicle as it has many issues.
