Terrain nightmare
Dove home heard a noise in the rear of car wheel bearing two rear two new tires and the tire pressure monitors in the rear next day oil in driveway still trying to figure it out & the transmission had about two qt too many in it so I changed the plugs air filter .. then driving home from a church event it was raining I noticed it was raining on my leg the drains in the sunroof were plugged up the oil pan is leaking I got a new plug & oil cap w/vent the brake fluid cap was wrong & dirt in the fluid so fixed that now I just have to add oil to it before I drive it to find out where the other oil leaks are just fixed the valve cover gaskets works great all in all not bad for a car with 240000 on it

She's Tired
I purchased my 2011 Terrain SLE in 2016 from a car dealership(Subaru dealership actually). I don't remember the exact miles it had on it but it was approximately 69k-74k. Today is July 6, 2023 and this car is STILL RUNNING and has 217k miles on it. It still has a good pick up and go! YES, I might have to put oil in it once a month, It might now have a ticking sound, but it is still getting me around town to the store and doctors appointments. I live in Florida and the AC still works! Within the years that I have had this car, I did replace the CV Joints, Alternator, Serpentine Belt, Tie rods, A.C. and Relay switches. I would basically say, all the wear & tear stuff, not to mention my husband has pulled a trailer with lawn equipment on it with this vehicle for a little while until he got his truck. There are no dents, it's never been in an accident, and I do love the car! It was in good shape when I got it, even tho it had over 60k miles on it already and was already 5 years old. However, she's now tired, I know she wants to retire. I will be made to suck it up and have to have another car payment again. I can't be mad tho, she's done her job, took me on all kinds of vacations, lots of fun road trips, and I am happy I was given a few years without a car payment. Thank you to my 2011 GMC Terrain SLE for doing your job and hanging in there for me all these miles. Also for never leaving me stranded!! .. You are welcome that I stayed on top of your service and maintenance, that is probably why you were so good to me!

Biggest POS ever
Stay away, I’ve made it to 160k only because I work on my own vehicle. Excessive oil consumption plays havoc on cat conv., replaced both front and rear cats 4x. Last time I gutted them and no more problem. Replaced ac compressor 3x, aside from oil consumption engine runs fine. Alternator 3x front axles 2x, pcm 1x Save your money buy Toyota.

Stay Clear of GMC Terrain
Bought a 2011 GMC Terrain because I was looking for a good sized SUV... Paid over 20k for it and had to pump thousands more into it over the years. lol consumption issues, electrical issues, water pump and timing chain issues (timing chain is inside the water pump casing!!!), rusting issues around the hub wheels and bad on gas. Too big of a vehicle for a 4 cylinder to move. Stay away. One of the worse regrets I have ever had in purchasing a vehicle.
