Unfortunately this car is the worst purchase I've ever made. everything was fine until I got to about 80,000 miles and then it went into the shop 5 * 4 hit 100,000 miles. It has had problems with everything from a leaky transfer case to a cracked manifold. The check engine light has been on for the last ten thousand miles. The catalytic converter and O2 sensors are shot. The O2 sensor has already been changed. It is also currently burning about a quart of oil per 1000 miles. Apparently there's a class action lawsuit against GMC for this car and it's oil burning issue. I wish I would have purchased the Toyota I was considering. This is the first domestic car I had purchased in 10 years I had avoided them because of issues I had with the previous one. My next and all future car purchases will be foreign cars.

Pros: I think it's a pretty attractive car and has plenty of space inside. When it's running well, it's a good car. It let me drive it for a long time with the check engine light on.... until it didn't anymore (the light was due to an old error - I wasn't totally neglecting it). Cons: Had to have the rear main seal replaced; timing chain issues or whatever it's called; lots of recalls; previous owner had a new engine put in (unbeknownst to me when I bought it); windows don't roll up very well when you're accelerating (have to slow down and give it a helping hand to get up); replaced battery twice in the 4 years I've owned it; not sure what the issue is now, but after putting about $2500 in repairs into it, I'm ready to trade it. It's dying when it comes to a complete stop now, and I just don't have the time to get it fixed anymore. Shame, too, because it's such a good looking vehicle.
