I just read a review where the writer complained of engine issues/camshaft solenoid issues. I had the same exact problem with my 2011 Terrain. Six and a half weeks after driving it, the engine began to hesitate to a stall. I took it in for service and I was told it was the solenoid. A week later it happened again and I was told the mechanic didnt attached a hose right. I have 5000 miles on the truck and I am still not getting anywhere near 30 mpg as stated on the fuel mileage. I am driving 55 mph on the highway with cruise control, and eco mode on. Is my engine breaking in still, or is it safe to assume I got a Lemon? Do yourself a favor and buy a Toyota or Honda.

We are desperate not to die...Our 2011 GM Terrain is stalling again. After being stranded in a snow storm last winter when the time belt went on a relatively new car with only 50K miles on it, the car has been stalling and shutting down on us while driving, engine light going on. It's a LIFE RISK and no one is minding the shop. We have taken the car numerous times to Varney GMC in Bangor and there is no real help. We are fully aware of the conspiracy after the collapse and cutting corners but this is outrageous. We are told "nothing is wrong with the car"-REALLY? The engine light is always on, and yet no one takes it seriously!!! Please help us not to die!!! No one there bothered to us about

Major transmission issues. The car died at 7,000 miles; the transmission had to be replaced. Even with a new transmission Im still having issues with the car shifting gears, it stutters frequently. A new problem since the transmission replacement is that when the low gears shift, it appears that something is rubbing and its loud. Since its a new model, the techs at the dealership cannot diagnose the problem. I regret buying this car and would not recommend to anyone
One Of The Best Cars Ever!!

I bought this car with 19K miles, and it runs great! It is steel blue metallic with black perforated heated cloth. The interior is perfect it has everything I need and more! The ride is very comfortable especially on bumpy country roads where I live. The transmission feels a bit sluggish in "ECO" but is overall very good. The 2.4L has great get up and go and gets great gas mileage! I took it on a trip (75 miles highway) and got an average of 30.4 mpg and get 19.6 mpg in the city! The car is barely broken in and will only get better in time! The car is great! I have 2 Grand Prix's and 2 G6's and love all of them but especially this one!
Fearful for my life!!!

I purchased a pre owned 2011 GMC Terrain. Beginning 3/2016 I've consistently taken my car into the dealer for the following issues; Stability Track/ Check Engine Light stays on/ Engine speed reduces. Each time that I took the car into the dealer they would inform me that the problem was fixed. They would keep my car for days sometimes weeks. I would have to get a rental car while they had my car. On or about the 4th time of me taking the car back, I spoke with a General Manager that assured me they would have the problem fixed. Over a holiday weekend the dealer called to ask me if i would authorize them to keep my car some additional days to insure the problem would be fixed this time after service. I gave them my authorization. In the meantime, I spoke with GMC Corp offices who suggested that I take the car to another dealer. When I received the call to go pick up my car. I drove it off the lot, went 2 blocks and the engine speed reducing light came on immediately. I turned the car around and drove it back! I pulled into the lot (again), put the car in park and went to get the Manager. He came out to see the lights (which they told me time and time again they could NEVER get the lights to come on) he had a Master Tech come look at the car. He hooked it up to a machine. They asked if they could keep my car (again) for 1 day (which turned into 4 days). This time when they called me back to pick up the car i started driving home and WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS the car shut down on the frwy....to this day my car is STILL shutting down without any indicator lights whatsoever! I've spoken the Corporate Offices. Now im taking matters into my own hands before im in a fatal accident and my family is left to fight with GMC. ....This has been the worst NIGHTMARE EVER!!!!!
