2011 GMC Terrain consumer reviews

I brought my 2011 GMC TERRAIN 2 MONTHS AGO WITH ONLY 94000 MILES ON IT THIS IS THE BEST INVESTMENT FOR A USED CAR I EVER MADE

2011gmc Terrain SLT with V6, purchased new. A great deprndable vehicle. 13 plus years, 160k kilometers. Routine maintenance, ie oil changes, 2 sets of tires, 2 set of brakes, 1 set plugs No major issues. Love the styling but also own a gmc truck.Pulls my 2500 lb boat easily. Sad to see only 1 engine choice for 2025 Terrain. Due like 2025 styling interior and exterior.

I bought my Terrain used with 135,000 miles on it. Four months later the transmission needed to be rebuilt ( $3.438 ). Three months after that the oil sending unit had to be replaced ( $387.00 ). At a 168,000 miles the timing 'jumped', had to be towed in for timing chain replacement ( $ 1,800.00 ). When the shop put it back together, there was compression issues in at least two of the cylinders. Tore it back apart, send heads to be machined, replaced bent valves, found out that the exhaust manifold was cracked and catalytic converter was melted ( $ 3,897.00 ). I got it back and put 162 miles on it in 2.5 weeks. Engine started running rough, wouldn't idle, etc. Had it towed back to shop - no leaks, no smoking, timing was fine, but I burned through 2.5 quarts in that 162 miles and this is the 'normal' amount of usage for the Terrain due to it's known issues. Can't get a straight answer anywhere as to recalls, but the laundry list of issues are all related to oil clogging even with perfect oil change history and a lousy transmission. If you're thinking of buying a Terrain, run, don't walk, in the opposite direction. Had I known the lengthy history of the Terrain issues, I never would have bought it. Now I'm so upside down on it, I can't get out from under it. Don't buy none, seriously, GMC is not standing behind this model AT ALL.

Bought this car in 2011 from New. My first one was in an accident and was a right off. I could of bought any vehicle I wanted but went back to the Terrain. Would still purchase this car again. I did 6 years of driving from Ontario to Florida without a single issue. Lots of space for luggage or any other stuff. Great millage.

Motors in the 2011 Terrains have had to be replaced way to soon under 100000 miles for many who own a 2011 terrain should have a recall on this problem

I have a 2011 SLT2 package with the V6. I bought it used with 80k miles, it now has 176k. I bought it 8 years ago and I’ve only had your typical upkeep up until recently. Last year I had to replace the AC ( I live in Florida so to me it being 12 years old wasn’t a big deal) I now have some lights on where the sensors are needing to be replaced and the hydraulic arm for the trunk is starting to go out. Again, considering this car is up in miles and has been very well loved for 8 years I consider this your typical upkeep on a car. I LOVE my Terrain. It has been very reliable, it is comfortable and I’m considering getting a new one but still keeping this one.

Piece of crap. Period. Stay away, far far away. Totally unreliable, money pit. I can list the issues but they have all been brought up here. Believe us and listen to us. This vehicle sucks. GM doesn't care that they put out an awful auto.

I bought a 2011 terrain used in July of 2021 it is now August of 2022 I've already had stalling problems in the middle of traffic my transmission is blown excessive oil use during all kinds of noises coming out of the motor and there's still a $6,000 on the Terrain had it taken over to the dealer and they told me there's no recalls of anything on this car except for the headlights well guess what this morning I got a recall notice on the windshield wipers I wonder how many more recalls there are in this car that we don't know about and they're not saying because they don't care and they don't want to help the consumer dealers are just as bad they just tried to push me out the door this morning with my transmission don't buy one run as far away as you can and here I said is a car that don't run I owe 6000 Plus on it and I can't do a darn thing with it thanks GM way to take care of your customers never never again will I buy one GMC

COMPRE MI VEHICULO GMC TERRAIN 2011 Y ES UNA EXCELENTE UNIDAD, ES MUY POCO DINERO EL QUE LE HE TENIDO QUE INVERTIR, COMODA, LUJOSA Y ECONOMICA EN GASOLINA.

Love the ride but paint is horrible 😕 really good until the paint started chipping. I would like another one but I've been traumatize. Please help
