2014 GMC Terrain Reviews

My car is perfect for anyone seeking a comfortable and reliable SUV, it is a fantastic family vehicle! I bought my car used when it was 3 years old, it is now 6 years old and I have only had to replace a sensor and a new battery! I would like to mention there is a certain “glitch” when you turn the car on you have no auxiliary sound and your dash screen does not light up, no radio or anything. I have researched and found that once your key fob is 100 ft from your car it will reset the car's computer and work again.

This year still suffers from the same oil consumption issue that previous years have, which are all part of a class action lawsuit GM is trying to settle. GM will not do anything to help, they claim they fixed the problem in the 2014 models. Engine failure at 130k miles, not covered. Replaced with 70k mile engine, not covered and will do the same thing. Catalytic converter destroyed, not covered. Thousands of dollars in repairs. GM knows the car is junk, will not help consumers.

Reliable vehicle but had to change battery right after purchasing this lease turn-in. Seemed too quick for that. The very red lights can be initially distracting in the darkness, but you get accustomed quickly. Very reliable, has some get-up-and-go. I replaced the cloth seats with leather because I could feel the texture through my clothing. Added navigation which is helpful. Do NOT get aftermarket backup sensors/camera. Pay the extra to get the model with it included from factory.

This car is everything I could want as my first car that I have purchased. I am a nanny so the spacious backseat is great for driving children. I have driven my kids in other cars before and it was frustrating to buckle the car seats into the car. The car seat hinges in this car makes it a piece of cake to buckle and unbuckle car seats. I also love how much trunk space I have. Not only is my trunk already big, but all three seats can go down to make even more room. I have Bluetooth calling but I do I could listen to my music through Bluetooth. Other than that, the car is great and drives so nicely!

Purchased this vehicle as a CPO, with 11K on the clock. 6 months extended coverage was provided at sale, brought it back once to have a blower motor noise looked at, it was cured by changing the cabin filters. Vehicle now has 86K on it. Normal upkeep and maintenance. GM battery died unwarranty, they replaced it. Have since put another battery in it,, at 82K. My mpg is great,,, get 22-24 in the city, less in winter, and the best I have ever achieved on the highway is 37 mpg on a long flat stretch in IOWA. I only use 0-20 oil, and made to modifications to the factory configuration...installed a less restrictive (not loud) cat-back exhaust and changed out the air mass sensor. (jet performance products). When it was time for a tire change, I went with Continental lx-20's eco's, a big difference in highway mileage. I run my tires at 2 lbs above factory recommendations. My only complaint is the under seat ducting for heating and cooling to the back seat is less than effective, setting must be on both upper and lower vents, and turn up the fan speed to make a difference. Would buy the vehicle again if GMC offered it in a hybrid.

I bought my 2014 terrain Denali at just over 101,000 miles for about 14,300 from a gmc dealership in 201. About a year and a half later I kept noticing a clicking noise coming from under the hood so I called the dealership I purchased from and made an appointment. Was due for an oil change so had that done afterwards the noise had stopped. I still took it 2 the dealership as a precaution, they couldn't find anything. Some odd miles later samething, I remembered when I changed the oil it stopped. Well this time it didn't stop the noise for long, and everytime I checked the oil it was low, It started to bog out here and there for about a week then it completely stopped running. I got a letter in the mail about the oil consumption recall. I called and was told gmc wouldn't reimburse me because it was over the miles limit. WHAT A JOKE. Its even more upsetting because i bought it with my inheritance my father who had passed away on father's day left me, so its kinda sentimental. Highly disappointed

The GMC terrain is a reliable vehicle, through rain or snow. It especially handles well in icy conditions. As a previous resident of the poconos, this vehicle has been a godsend whenever driving up the mountain. The seats are comfortable, there is sometimes an issue with the passengers side seat. Some people have an issue with sliding the seat back and forth, but if you have a regular passenger setting it is fine. To add, that with a non-electronic seat slider. Otherwise, the heated seats and always well functioning air conditioning is awesome. I have Sirius XM radio and the dash interface works good. This vehicle was a great purchase.

Check engine light comes on sometimes but car has nothing wrong with it. The vehicle seems to have some kind of faulty connection. Car is reliable and has great features. I really love the back up camera and the fact that I received almost a full year of free satellite radio with it. The car drives smooth and feels like a luxury vehicle. Very roomy and the trunk space is great. I previously had a caravan which had no trunk space at all. This is important to a working mom of three.

I drive my vehicle almost every day with two kids in the back seat. There's plenty of room to fit both car seats and there's plenty of leg room as well. I love how the vehicle handles in snow and rain; I feel safe driving my car in such conditions. Currently has some maintenance that needs to be done to it, but I am at 125,000 miles and I am just now needing to fix the exhaust and replace the transmission fluid on it. Oil changes have been done every 5,000 miles, it helps having a mechanic for a husband who can do it for me. Overall, this is a very reliable, and comfortable vehicle.

I have had my vehicle for 5 years and the performance is amazing. It is the GMC terrain all wheel drive. With this climate it is the best car I have had. I highly recommend this vehicle. Cannot wait to buy the newer one. I use all season tires on it and it is good for mud rain snow and going off road. It is a very reliable car very comfortable for long road trips I have taken this car to California Utah and Washington state the gas mileage is great as well.

I have had no issues with my GMC terrain. The sound system is great with Bluetooth capabilities and hands-free calling with voice control. The leather seats have been incredibly resilient, and the seat heaters are great. The inside is much more spacious than I anticipated, my two giant breed dogs are able to travel comfortably. The only thing I wish was different would be to have air vents in the back seat so rear passengers could have better heating/air.

Our 2014 terrain sled offers versatility in usage. Gas mileage runs 27-31 mpg pending city vs highway driving. The instrument panel is easy to view and locate controls. Fold down back seats provide room for larger, lengthy materials. Plenty of room for suitcases with or without seats folded down. Also allows an area for pets, i.e.. Dogs, to lay down or stand up while traveling we eventually plan on some road trips, visiting state parks and placing an air mattress in the back for overnight stays. The 4 cylinder engine, as you would think, tends to be a bit slower responding to acceleration. The only thing we would rethink is going with the salt 6 cylinder for better response.

I was set on getting a GMC Terrain after test driving a few Acadias I decided they were too big. For a couple with no kids or maybe only one child the Terrain would be perfect. We do not currently have any children so this vehicle is perfect for us. It has plenty of trunk space, as well as leg room in the back seat. We comfortably travel with 4 adults in the vehicle with no issues. My favorite thing about GMOs are their trim packages. My Terrain is a SLE2. A SLED is the lowest package, they make a SALE 1 & 2. Like I said mine is a SLE 2. I have cloth seats, but they are heated, as well as heated mirrors, sunroof & touch screen radio, and a back up camera. There isn't much this 'bottom of the line' doesn't have. I love my GMC Terrain & would recommend it to anyone!!

I have had no problems with my car. It is only front wheel drive but with all season tires it does just fine in the snow! It is only an sle so it does not have some of the fancy bells and whistles such as the auto start but it does have a very nice backup camera! I get about 19 mpg in town and up to 23 highway which is not bad for a SUV. My car is a flex fuel but I typically use regular gas not e85 because I get better fuel mileage with the regular. Over all I am very pleased with my purchase.
