Worst SUV ever. Very defective. Consumes oil.

This SUV has given me so many headaches, the main problem is oil consumption. GMC dealer "replaced" the engine to fix the problem less than a year ago and the oil consumption went away for some time but now the problem started again.. I don't even drive the SUV and is asking for oil change. The engine rattles like crazy when I turn it on.

I love my car!

I needed a bigger vehicle to accommodate our growing family and this car has everything I was looking for! It's not too huge but has enough space for a car seat and our baby gear! It's been a great vehicle so far!

I Test Drive it.

I have always liked these Trucks. My Preference is the V6 All Wheel Drive! With Everything Powered. You can find a Good one for a Low Price. But it depends on where and How much it is. Some of them cost way too much between the year 2015 and 2017. Which is nonsense in my opinion.

I wanted to buy American so I did which was a big

This car has had everything wrong: stabilizer 850.00 not covered by warranty. I receive recalls in the mail but I have driven too many miles for it to be covered. The first thing happened I was driving down the road when the drivers seat fell to the floor and the dealership did not have time to fix it so I had to take it to a different dealership that day. Water pump went out. A recall on the fuel pump that was covered but it is not listed on the recalls. My gauges on the oil does not work does not warn of low oil. Burns about 2 quarts of oil every 800 miles. I thought I had chrome on my door handles etc. but guess what it is heavy duty aluminum foil.
