  • Gas Mileage - 2011 GMC Terrain

    This is my 3rd posting about the horrible gas mileage of this vehicle. I would love a class action suit for performance....I bought it for the 32 mpg expecting to receive at least 27-28 mpg. How disgusting! I like driving my Camry Hybrid - 38-41 mpg - and 76,000 miles on it. No more GM products for me!

  • Criminal MPG Advertising!!!! - 2011 GMC Terrain

    I have never written a review before but feel obligated to warn others of my mistake. I bought my 2011 GMC Terrain in Dec 2010. As of August 2011, I have put close to 20K miles on my vehicle...mostly all highway mileage due to outside sales. After extensive research on this vehicle, and others in its class, I went with the Terrain for the advertised highway MPG. I read all of the reviews that explicitly pointed out that the mileage fell short. I assumed that if it fell short of the 32 MPG around 26-28 MPG, thats still great. I have done everything possible to only get 22-23 MPG at best...at that is in the "ECO" mode. Ive developed OCD watching instantaneous fuel economy. Terrible!

  • Gift Gone Bad!!!!Engine Problems. - 2011 GMC Terrain

    My husband brought this junk for my mothers day gift. The service dept drove the truck more than ME!!! The truck cut off while driving on a major highway three times. The dealer stated they couldnt understand why the check engine light stayed on and they couldnt locate the problem. Finally they changed the intake camshift solenoid sensor???? Wish me luck folks...what a gift..thank you honey for the LEMON!!!!!

  • Big mistake - 2011 GMC Terrain
    By -

    Major transmission issues. The car died at 7,000 miles the transmission had to be replaced. Even with a new transmission I’m still having issues with the car shifting gears, it stutters frequently. A new problem since the transmission replacement is that when the low gears shift, it appears that something is rubbing and it’s loud. Since it’s a new model, the techs at the dealership cannot diagnose the problem. I regret buying this car and would not recommend to anyone
