Can't cover any terrain since in shop.

2011 GMC Terrain SLT-1 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
On the three years I have had my car. I've had to fire air bag wiring. Told was not covered. I've replaced the manifold, catalytic converter, there was a oil consumption issue, this past week I replaced the thermostat and water pump. The backup camera hasn't worked great since the fixed the consumption issue. Didn't know the navigation was suppose to work with onstar until I read … comments. Can't trade in because resale value is poor. I've pumped in over 6,000 dollars this car and the dealer had the nerve to say today. Think it's time to trade in. The only reason the consumption issue was fixed is my husband complained to GMC because the dealer wasn't listening.
Happy Owner

I've owned the vehicle for a few weeks and am very satisfied so far.
There was a problem with accessing music on my iPhone4 via the USB port.
I kept getting error messages stating "Unsupported iPod device" and "Unsupported USB device".
This was very frustrating.
After Googling the problem, it turns out the issue is NOT unique to GM vehicles --- indicating the problem was with the iPhone, … not the car.
Fortunately, I was able to update the software on the iPhone4 to the latest version (Version 4.3), which was very straightforward using iTunes.
This appears to have fixed the problem.
I hope this helps others with the same problem.
Give the gas mileage some time!

I have heard numerous complaints about the gas mileage. I will say, I was one of those people complaining until I took a recent trip and drove nearly 1,500 miles. At this point, I have 6,000 total miles on my Terrain and I can finally say, I AM getting the gas mileage advertised. Until my trip, I was lucky to get 24-26. I am now fairly steady at 29-31. Drove into work this morning (a … 1-hour commute) at 30.6 the entire way. I was told to give it time but I was a nay sayer. I'm happy to say, it was true. After a good "break-in" period, my Terrain is getting gas mileage. Outside of that, I have no issues whatsoever with this vehicle. It's rugged in appearance and drives wonderfully!
GMC Bombed on ths one!!!!

2011 GMC Terrain SLT-1 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 6A)
Needed a larger vehicle so traded my car in Dec 2010 for a new 2011 Terrain.
I have always loved GMC but this has made me reconsider.
They REALLY BOMBED on this one...its a JOKE! Its been in the shop many times.
1) Gas mileage is straight out a lie. Cannot get the gas mileage they claim by going down hill with a tail wind.
2) Leather seat cover zipper ripped wthin first year, also, they … contiinue to pull up and away from the seats.
3) Service airbag light goes on and off and has been "fixed" several times...lol.
4) Rear storage charging port comes out...again, "fixed" several times.
5) AC has complete mind of its own.
Will be workng great then blows hot air.
6) stalls and wont start
