After reading numerous complaints it is totally insane that GM is not backing THEIR product!! I have a 2012 GMC Terrain, 4 cylinder. I am also experiencing a lot of what others have written on here. I am going through oil like crazy and my favorite part is the "dummy" light is not even coming on to tell me. I am checking my oil weekly and having oil changes every 2,500 miles with Penzoil Full Synthetic. The only code that has ever appeared is the cam shaft sensor, which I replaced, but I still continue to have oil consumption issues. It is ridiculous that GM will not investigate this issue after numerous complaints. I also experience the shifting issues (jerking when taking off from a stop). This car is total garbage and I will continue to just put oil into it and I refuse to replace an engine on a car that is 3 years old that I have documentation that I have properly maintained. COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS UNTIL THIS PIECE OF JUNK IS PAID OFF!!!!

Use oil and fuel, over and over and over and over

We bought this car for MPG, only to find out it does't get anywhere near the rating, 30% less than rated. What's more it also uses oil at an insane rate; 1 quart per 1,000 miles, no exaggeration. If that wasn't enough, complaints to GM went unanswered. How could they ignore such claims? Come to find out, they knew of this problem, but never mentioned or acknowledged it, so disappointed. Wish we could just get out from under this, get our money back, start fresh. $30,000 down the drain. Now at 80k; replaced rings/pistons, transmission, exhaust manifold, fuse box, cat, master cylinder 2x, lower control arms, stabilizer end links, radiator, and other various smaller items. Help…

I bought this V6 model SLT three years ago and drove it over 80k miles. I just this year replaced the tailgate actuator, only because it leaked and I was being proactive. I also replaced a rear wheel hub and the battery, this year. The two tail light assemblies showed a little water in them so I replaced them as well. Other than regular maintenance, tires and brakes that is all this great vehicle has needed. Overall I get 23 - 24 MPG, so it could be better but it is a V6. It does not have some of the connectivity of the newer cars, but it has what vehicles in 2012 had available. The seating and interior have held up amazingly well, I see other vehicles with 100k mile street and the seats are cracked and fouled, not these they are just shiny. This has been an amazingly reliable vehicle, even in bad weather here in Ohio the two wheeled drive has worked well.

Couldn't be happier with my 2012 Terrain. Style, inside and exterior, tech galore which will take me time to learn including bluetooth and onstar dirctions. Very good solid and quiet ride. Took the Terrain for a drive specifically to test mileage since I had read bad reports for the 2011 Terrain and Equinox. If the onboard computer is reasonably accurate, 31.5 to 33.8 average over a 100 mile test with cruise set at 61 MPH. I believe the EPA test standard is still 60 MPH. Great value for those that keep a car for a long time.
Great little SUV!

I have had my 2012 Terrain for less than three weeks now and simply love it. For the price, it is a quality vehicle.
