A BIG MISTAKE

Leased this vehicle in 4 cylinder, was promised 26/32 mpg city/highway. A BLATANT LIE FROM GMC! Veh gets 14-16 in town and can't get over 21 on the highway. GMC was contacted and set up a service check at the dealer. They came up with every phony excuse you could think of. Too much weight in the veh (which is empty) to the mileage gauge must be reset every time ( even though the On-Star app says the lifetiMe average mileage of both city/highway is 17). Avoid this car at all expense, it has no power and the mileage SUCKS. GMC will try to blame you for the crummy mileage if you complain. Searching for a lawyer to take on the big GMC Corp. Buy American, but not this American vehicle.

I thought I was getting the same as everyone else when buying the 2011 Terrain, but looks like I've got the same issues and more - oil disappears (my service manager told me they were told by GM that there's a bug in the engine and it burns oil and they don't know why or how to resolve it - she told me to check and add oil every 1000kms). Also, my truck has 66000 kms, and it's been in the garage for two week periods twice in the last three months - I got it back yesterday and they've changed the tranmission (completely) and the timing belt. And other parts too many to mention. Lemon. I'm going to see what I can get from GM for "customer loyalty" and then trade it in.

Terrible purchase. GM Scams!

Bought the car used with 90,000 miles on it. Needed something bigger as I was having my first child. Liked that it was advertised with great gas mileage (also a lie. Usually got around 17-19mpg on a 4 cylinder?). Immediately realized the mistakes I made. The car was going through oil like a beast. Needed I’ll change every thousand miles. Come to find out, it was almost every Terrain and equinox of this year. Drive the car to 110,000 and the engine seized due to excess oil consumption. And they know it wasn’t my fault because some lawyers just won a multi million dollar class action lawsuit Against them due to faulty piston rings causing this. Contacted GM after I got the engine diagnosis from firestone. Was told “if we can help, we’re gonna need the diagnosis from a certified dealer”. So spent another $150 for the diagnosis just for them to tell me the same thing and that they can’t help AND the replacement would be $10,000! Absolutely furious. Still owed on the loan for a car I only got 20k miles out of, and they offer no assistance at all whatsoever. Never ever purchasing a GM vehicle sharing. Horrible company. Put a family out of 10,000.

I bought this vehicle in April 2018 and here it is September 2018 and I have had it repaired 4 times it has stopped on me multiple times while in the middle of driving with all three of my children in traffic. I have had the water pump replaced and 2 sensors replaced. This vehicle will get you and your family killed from it randomly stopping while driving anywhere.... 😡😡😡
