This car is the worst! Even after having the engine fixed for the oil consumption recall it still drinks the oil. Transmission jerks overall it just sucks! The car has always had something wrong with it. I think this vehicle is very unsafe and unreliable. Dash lights don't always work and the screen gets confused shuts off or is fuzzy. I recommend not wasting your money.

The fuel mileage of this vehicle is very incorrect. Rated at 22/32. The best I can get is 22 on the road.

The vehicle was a pleasure to drive. It was cheap to keep. Got good gas mileage. Too bad it was totaled in an accident.

We bought a 2012 GMC Terrain used with 32000 miles on it. It was fine until about 90000 miles and we noticed a clattering sound and I checked the oil, it was LOW!! More than 2 quarts low. I added the oil and in 3 weeks it was low again, added some more and the same thing happened. I started keeping a record of when I added oil and it came to about every 700 miles, this is not acceptable! I have never owned a vehicle that has used that much oil and I’ve owned some real clunkers! Took it to a mechanic and he put an oil additive in the engine which seem to help some. The oil lasts a little longer but still not good. Update: still have the car with 162000 miles on it but as soon as we get some money it’s gone!
