Used 2014 GMC Terrain Consumer Reviews
2014 GMC SLE-2
Purchased this vehicle as a certified pre owned with 11k on the clock. I now have 81K now major issues. Upgraded the tires to Continental Eco's and use 0/20 change at 5k intervals. My 2.4L engine delivers 22+ in the city and have gotten as much as 36+ mpg, when I run the tires at 39PSI... My only complaint,, small.. is that rear passengers have some complaint about air conditioning, I now use both upper and lower vent settings and on high setting,they get enough cooling in the back seat. All and all it has been a very reliable ride.

Superbly engineered.
The 2015 Terrain, in my opinion, is in a segment of its own. From it's glorious V6 engine to the very useful power liftgate, it is an awesome work of craftsmanship. The engine has plenty of power, more than enough; with the V6. The transmission is a tad...strange? Gas mileage could be better, but much better than what I used to drive. It is very safe and a good value for money, too. The interior is very well made and very cool looking at night. The red accent lighting is a very nice touch. The Pioneer radio is also very nice.

Most bang for your buck
I bought this car to do one thing: repair my credit. It served its purpose with style! Despite the lack of bells and whistles with the SLE1 package, this car has been reliable and has proven its worth. It is not a speedy, get-up-and-go sort of car. It is an amazing passenger car. Comfortable and versatile. With a full car of 5 passengers, everyone still has enough leg room to make the ride bareable. I have also slept in the back with the seats folded down on some casual car camping adventures and it is superb. A great starter car for sure!

Known Engine Problems
I purchased a 2014 terrain SLT-1 for far over book value from a dealer in 2021 because you know “used car shortage”. It has used oil like crazy. It’s not leaking. And it doesn’t smell like it’s burning oil. But, it’s draining it. I put 6 - SIX quarts of oil in and I was still 2000 miles from an oil change. I cannot get a dealership to even look into the issue probably because they KNOW there’s issues with the engine. If I trade it in, I am completely upside down on it and will get the lowest trade in value because of mechanical issues. I’m screwed either way. I’m a single mom that makes less than $25,000 a year and I’m so angry the engine issues were never fixed in these vehicles and that dealerships screw people like this. I will never buy another gmc/chevy again and I caution anyone looking at them to reconsider!

Burns oil like crazy
Burns oil like crazy, must check it no- weekly if you want to make sure you have oil. No indicator light comes on if it is low. Read many complaints about this, too many people have written complaints about the excessive oil use, and like I said if you don’t stay on top of it you will blow up your motor. GMC should stand behind this vehicle and fix this problem. Like this vehicle if it wasn’t for the oil problems.
