This car has locked up 8 times on us since we bought it in April 2008 I have been told that's the way there designed and that's normal for torrents.

The vehicle replaced a leased 2005 GMC EnvoyXL SLT. Though the Envoy was loaded the Torrent has plenty of features and is fun to drive. I pulled my boat 500 miles with no problem and the mileage is about 20% better than the Envoy. The Torrent is fun to drive, don't believe the reviews about it being "mushy" etc. The 3.4 V6 has plenty of spunk. The vehicle performs very well in town and on the highway. Highway mileage is about 25 and city is about 18. Plenty of room inside for 4 adults for long distance and 5 adults is not problem for shorter drives, rear seating has amazing leg room and front seat passenger seat has more room than the Envoy. We added the chrome package and leather.
Pontiac paperweight.

If you're looking for a car that needs a new motor after 240k, then this one's for you! But don't think that a new motor will do you any good. If anything, you'll just be wasting thousands of $$ for a heap of junk that will leave you dead in the middle of an intersection. I had my motor replaced at 240,000km because it just died one morning and never started again. The motor that was put in ($3,700) had under 100,000km, and lasted me 6 months before it died on me in the middle of a highway intersection. The check engine light came on, the car DIED, and all of the lights started flashing: service stabilitrak, low oil, no engine power, no fuel, no abs. If you can think it, the warning sign came up for it. Codes showed up for Throttle Position Sensor, Knock Sensors, Crank Position Sensor We towed it home, replaced all of the sensors and a whole new Throttle Body. Drove the car for half an hour, and it died again. Not accelerating, not driving, and throwing all of the codes for the sensors we JUST REPLACED. The car would turn back on, but wouldn't drive for more than a few feet before dying again. I have no more savings to get this car back up and running and no local shops have a clue in hell what could be wrong with it. I have 2 young children who can't get to school now. I've been without a vehicle for 5 weeks and I have no options. Awesome. I don't understand why there isn't a recall on this vehicle - the amount of people who seem to have experience the same issues is almost comical.
