GM knows this engine has problems! Go ask any small town mechanic. They will tell you. Cam shaft solenoid goes bad and you will then ruin your timing an on down the line. This all will cause a blow engine. I bought mine out after the lease 2 months ago. Well now I’m stuck with a $15k paper weight. Merry Christmas. ): I wish someone would have told me.

Check out getting in and out of the front seats. Don't expect your rear seats to fold down all the way. It is snapy and it saves me money over the V-8 I had before! We still don't like the fact that the rear seats wont fold down Flat. GMC is selling the 2018 Terrain cheaper than we had to pay for this 2017...

When traveling on snow covered roads, all the rear lights become snow covered. Was almost rear ended due to following car unable to see any brake lights. I drive back country roads delivering meals on wheels and have to constantly brush snow off all brake lights. Very frustrating. I noticed that the Chevy equinox also has this problem. We added mud flaps, no help there. Turning ratio is large, turns like a semi. Hard to maneuver in tight parking places. Air circulation has musty smell have to change filter every 6 months. Will not purchase again.
