Can a GMC rep please contact me and tell me my options' as I can't afford to have major work done to it if anything more goes wrong.
Thanks...
We don't own a Terrain yet that is why I am here. I just finished reading every post in here and took a page of notes.
I do go to the doctor a lot and would be driving it there.. We are in talks with dealers as we speak about a Terrain. Since we are in our 70's and there seems to be a lot of challenges with the Terrain, we are considering a lease.
Edmunds is our source for all information on cars. Again. Sorry.
Reading back thru other reviews I see a lot of Terrains have a very loud engine. It's good to know I'm not alone on that! I had it in the dealership service department within 6 months of purchasing the vehicle and was told the same thing that many other's have been told: Nothing's wrong, it's just how it is. I've also had the vehicle in the shop for losing tire pressure, but that seems to be fixed now, since I've not had anymore trouble with it since having that problem repaired about 2 years ago.
On the plus side, I really like my dealership. They're very friendly and always provide a luxurious BUICK courtesy car anytime my Terrain is in their shop, making the sting of having made a bad purchase ever so slightly less.
Lower mount below and near the petcock.
No accidents or damage. grrrrrrr Dealer wants "around" $750.00 to replace the radiator...for a 2010 6cyl 50k (EXTREMELY well maintained, not happy at all!.)
Sadly my wife wants another new Terrain in the next year or so.
The car also wakes up everyday in Washington DC :confuse: even though I'm more than 1000 miles away? Nav drives off road, :confuse: clock is wrong, reset lasts 'til you shut the car off... KNOWN & DOCUMENTED software problem... and has NEVER gotten anywhere near the advertised mileage. :mad: Rant over!
Well I think I can beat all of the stories so far on the 2010 GMC Terrain. We own Two of the Terrains. It seems like one of them is constantly at the dealership. One was worked on Thanksgiving week 2013 and is now back in the shop now doing the same thing. The other one was worked on about 2 weeks ago and they wanted to charge us over $800.00 for a terrain that has had so many issues and only 44,000 miles on it. It is time GMC steps up and does the right thing. It is plain as day these terrains cannot be repaired for any length of time. And to try and charge people high repair costs and offer to let you rent a car from them while these lemon cars are in the shop is stupid.
Well I found out if you want a recall on the 2010 Terrain the NHTSA are the ones who decide to do it. You go to their website www.ntsa.gov and file a complaint. You can also find a number there to call the complaint in on the number they have listed. You can also search your vehicle and see other complaints listed there. This is the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for our government. I don't know if any of you noticed there is a recall on the GM cobalt for stalling when it is being driven. SIX PEOPLE have died from being hit after this happens. Both of our Terrains have stalled. Please visit their website or call and tell them about your issues so they will do a recall!
I am also a disappointed owner of a 2011 GMC Terrain. Have the rough idle, took it to Nimnicht GMC in Jacksonville FL where I purchased the vehicle. They said it sounds like a failing timing chain. Took it in for repair, and they said my fuel pump was noisy so they replaced it too. Truck ran good for about a month and now has the rough/noisy idle again. Have sinced moved to Hawaii (US Navy) and am currently deployed. Wife drives suv and the stabilitrak service light has came on. Took it to Honolulu Cadillac GMC, and not only was the service guy rude, and rolling his eyes, but stated that it probably wouldn't be covered under warranty. Also told us that the timing chain in fact has not been replaced, but that they actually only replaced the tensioner. They hooked it up to the machine and said they didn't find anything, but that the oil was 3 quarts low. And that we should be checking the oil every 2 weeks. Also told my wife that she should become car savvy or have a husband that is mechanically inclined. REALLY! (It's a good thing I am deployed with statements like that) So now $177 out of pocket later....TADA! Stabilitrak light is back on. I also have the 2yr contract for oil changes, and the vehicle was at 23% oil life. So why couldn't they have just done the oil change? Thanks for nothing GMC!
I'm considering at 2014 Terrain, but these comments are making me hesitant about purchasing one. It got a pretty good review, but longterm ???
laney4, I just bought a 2014 GMC Terrain SLT-1 and I am very happy with it. The 4-cylinder has ample power, does well in snow, and has great heated leather seats. No regrets, no complaints.
Hi laney4,
We're very pleased to hear that you're happy with your new GMC Terrain! Hopefully you'll enjoy many more blissful driving days in your new vehicle. If you have any questions about your new ride, feel free to send us a private message.
Cheers,

Just picked up 2014 Terrain SLT. So far pleased with vehicle. Seats are very comfortable, rides like a car, ample room, not bad pick up 4cyl, one thing disconcerting. My Buick had foot lamps, puddle lamps etc. No foot lamps in a 31K vehicle what gives?
2014 AWD 4 Cyl., Those of you folks with mileage complaints might want to consider a high air flow K & N Air Filter. This filter provides more air to the engine, Been using these for twenty years and they always deliver more mileage and better pick up..Put one of these in my wife's Hyndai "Veloster" and it's getting a respectible 39/44. Performance guys use these K & N's a lot. Mobil 1 synthetic oil will help as well.. I think it's a lovely vehicle, and only complaint is the lack of ground clearance for an AWD vehicle. Exceptionally well done cabin. Mileage 26/31.
