What a disappointment

2019 GMC Terrain SLT 4dr SUV AWD (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 9A)
4 of 12 people found this review helpful

I am renting this car on a trip. This vehicle is missing basic features: No “ Blind Spot” warning on side mirrors; Lift back cannot be opened from inside the vehicle; Front passenger seat does not recline; “Add a phone” takes forever, very frustrating trying to get my iPhone 8Us to sync; LOUSY stereo sound system. I would NEVER purchase this vehicle! Maybe I’m spoiled, I recently rented a Nissan Altima and it was FABULOUS!

If you manage to get trans to 9th gear at less then highway speeds it drops down to 80 when gaining speed and will not go back to 9th no matter what

Nice look, horrible ride

My 2019 Terrain has had acceleration issues off/on since I leased it in Dec 2018. I took it in and had the torque converter replaced, thought it was ok. But 2 days later it happened again. When accelerating, usually from around 20 to 50-it hesitates and then kicks in hard jerking whoever is in the car. So disgusted with this vehicle. I was going to get the Chevy Equinox but decided to treat myself to the ‘nicer’ GMC model. Wish I had gotten the equinox. The people I know that have the equinox are not having these issues. How did Chevy get it right and GMC didn’t? I’m considering my options with the Lemon Law because I’m that angry about this. It’s a huge safety concern especially with highway driving

Denali Denali 2019 GMC TERRAIN DENALI

This 2019 Denali is awesome I just purchased with 17000 miles on it and let me tell you I love it. The mixed reviews didn’t help until I realized the reviews were on all years and models. So I singled out 2019 Denali it had great reviews so I purchased and I am not disappointed at all. I realized a lot of these negative reviews come from lack of maintenance on the owners end There is no way the brakes stated scrubbing out the blue as one owner stated just admit you were dogging your car out and wasn’t keeping up with your maintenance it’s not the car fault because of your neglect. Now my rant is over the 2019 Terrain Denali with the 2.0L turbo is awesome please go and test drive for your self because most of these negative reviews are written by people angry with GMC or the dealership for not fixing a car that they neglected to keep maintenance don’t believe me just read them and see if it doesn’t sound like neglect on the owners behalf
