GMC has admitted to knowing about these having ongoing

GMC has admitted to knowing about these having ongoing engine problems. Do not waste your money with their company. Regular maintenance and my engine blew at 123000km. The cost of the engine repair is worth more than the value of the vehicle. If you purchase a GMC, make sure you sell it before it inevitably blows up and you're in the same boat as me!

The car is great up until 30000 miles, where the PCV

The car is great up until 30000 miles, where the PCV valve caused excessive pressure to build up inside the engine, causing it to rupture, leading to a very expensive repair. Thankfully, the GMC dealership, I bought the terrain from replace the engine and fixed everything. But it doesn't really matter if you had the same exact issue happen only ten thousand miles later , and this time i had to pay out a pocket. It's a great then its not lol.

Expensive Engine Repair

The 2017 Terrains are known to have an excessive issue of excessively burning oil. (1qt per 1k miles). This caused our to blow an engine at only 150k miles. GMC is aware of this issue, but will not do any recalls. Would NOT recommend.

Expensive engine repair.

At 62000 miles the timing chain broke causing extensive damage that’s going to cost $3500 to repair. This is the second time it had to towed for problems. I won’t bash Ford owners anymore.

An AWESOME Vehicle!

This wasn't the vehicle I'd gone to the lot to see... But it was parked 2 vehicles down, and the price was $3000 cheaper!! It even has more bells and whistles than the Toyota I'd initially planned on getting. Awesomeness!!

Nice exterior color and appreciate the tinted wind

I just bought car yesterday,so far still very comfortable, lots of headroom and legroom. Interior very clean and exterior color is well liked. Should get good gas mileage with 4 cylinder

My GMC Terrain experience

This vehicle owned up to the GMC name. We never had an issue with this vehicle at all. The amenities were excellent with the model we had. I came with its own phone number provided by At&T along with WiFi! Sunroof, leather interior and not to mention OnStar. Great purchase!
