My 2014 Terrain has been a great car until now.

My 2014 Terrain has been a great car until now. The engine has a know defect . It is burning oil without any warning light . It could be very dangerous. Apparently it’s due to a piston problem.

Two problems

Just our power steering rack went at 120,00 miles costing $650 to fix and at 185,000 miles the transmission went. It is a comfortable car and looks great. Plenty of room.

Disappointed

I purchased this car, CERTIFIED, in January of 2014. It is a 2014 GMC Terrain. I’ve had several problems, since the beginning. One of the issues has been going on since the second week of owning the vehicle. It “jerks” really bad. One time I was sitting in traffic, and the car jerked, we thought someone had bumped us from behind. I’ve taken it to the dealership numerous times, but they claim they could never find anything wrong with it. Now, I’m having serious steering and suspension problems….which are going to cost well over $3000 to fix. I’m aggravated as I’ve been having problems with this car since purchasing it. I thought that purchasing “certified” would curb those issues, but I was wrong. If I had known then, what I know now, I’d go with another brand of vehicle.

Power steering cooler line

One issue is there are no AC vents for the backseat they are all on the front of the vehicle so on the summer hot days everyone in the backseat is hot which really stinks. The other issue is I purchased this vehicle in 2022 it is a 2014 I had the car for less than three months and it starts pouring out power steering fluid thinking oh no problem I got this fancy warranty the car is towed an hour away to the closest service shop which is where I purchased a vehicle guess what power steering cooler line not covered I was quoted over $700 to have it fixed so I vehicle that I’ve had for three months or less already forking out over $700 . Since I have no choice but to pay to fix it since it is my sole vehicle I will do so but I will be looking into trading it in as soon as possible. One other thing to mention if you are a large person or tall this vehicle is uncomfortable there’s not enough legroom in the backseat and overall it’s not a comfortable vehicle

Nicest vehicle we've owned

I'm 6-4 so I'm looking for a comfortable vehicle that's easy to get in-and-out of plus is high quality. I don't buy new cars and in our 40 years of marriage it's the nicest used car we've purchased.

Beautiful car

Saw this car online and knew it was going to be the one. The car is absolutely beautiful inside and out and even better than it looked in the pictures.

Hate this vehicle

I purchased this 2014 in 2016 and within a few months started having problems with the remote start, then leaking sunroof, something else, interior armrest peeling, high oil consumption and now engine trouble. I purchased the extended warranty which was a waste of money because the first time I took it to a certified mechanic and was told his shop wasn't on my list so they wouldn't cover the repair. The next problem I took it to the dealer and they said it was covered under the extended warranty. Then next time, the warranty had just expired. I will NEVER purchase a GMC product again. I should have stuck with my JEEP Grand Cherokee brand!
