Worst vehicle ever

Granted my 2013 GMC terrain is at 110K. But, it’s a complete Lemon. The timing chain broke destroying the guts of the engine 65k. Replaced. Alternator failed 55k then also 75k. Replacedx2. Exhaust, I had to use steel wire to stop the vibration. Now the transfer case cracked and fluid everywhere. Replacement cost…I guess we will find out. Not to mention the fact that the tires air sensors all went out. It is super slow and makes this weird(almost farting)noise every time I drive with it the 1st 5 minutes. It is slow, jerks when I attempt to speed up quickly. Just a S show of a car GM, you should be embarrassed to sell that low quality of a car. BTW, I was an army mechanic, kept up on all services and more throughout the life of the vehicle.

my 2013 SLT2 has to be one of the roughest rider and noisest on bumpy roads ever,have talked to the dealer and he simply said (thats the way it is), love the car on smooth roads,4cyl awd, just the klunk -klunk on bumpy roads is a real pain you in know where, this terrian is still a bumpy ride on bad streets, changed out rear shocks, no help, plastic body parts keep coming loose, i use a sheet metal screws to tighten then up, this helps with the noisey ride on bad streets, overall the car has been reliable and really nice to ride on good roads, millage has been as high as 34 mpg with reasonable driving habits

This particular car has NEVER gave me one bit of trouble since I drove it off the Lot. This car really owes me Nothing. It was a Gift from my parents and I cherished it ever since.

I had a 2010 Terrain which I loved, and since it was a leased car, I had to turn it in this year. After several test drives of other cars, I decided to lease a new 2013 Terrain. I love the exterior styling!
