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.
