I bought my care NEW in 2014 and the car was running good. I have very little good to say about the car, except that there was adequate leg room and the trunk held a lot. Needless to say, with each passing day, I became more disappointed in this car and eventually traded it in for a historically foreign manufacturer. When my husband got a 2015 Ford Escape, I found that the comfort and level of technology seemed light years ahead of what I had in my car. The car was repaired under warranty and I notified the manufacturer. The final straw, however, was when the car died in the left lane of the highway with less than 20k miles on it. I have to assume there's something wrong with the transmission. The car felt jerky at low speeds, but two dealers said this was normal and that Chevy makes them that way (no other car I have ever had drove like that). I didn't have this problem with my previous car or the one I got after this. The Bluetooth either didn't stay synched with my iPhone or the sound was crackling when I tried to listen to music that way. I had this car for a year and, unfortunately, it was just a headache. Still recommended if you can find one with low mileage and good maintenance records.8/2022 and still has no issues or repairs.Wash and wax and still looks as good as 2017.The V6 engine option is still a better alternative to the 4 cylinder and the newer Blazer ,Colorado and Cadillacs still use it. Body and suspension still solid and noise free ,using dealer Dexos oil change and tire rotations on schedule and extended service contract not needed yet. 2021 and 68,000 miles without any mechanical or electrical problems. I would still recommend if you can find a low mileage one at this time. Fuel mileage always low in city driving, but the V6 power still worth it when needed. Routine oil changes and tire rotations and had NHOIL undercoating last summer to limit underside rusting. Still has plenty of power and a good value.Ĩ/2021 66,000 miles and still running well without any mechanical or electronic problems. The engine used about 0.5 quarts of oil between changes and the gas mileage in the stop and go city traffic is only 13-15 mpg and 20-22 mpg on the occasional highway run. The broken wiper problem is a defective part and is under a recall from GM. Still running very well in all weather conditions and all the mechanical and electronics are problem free. Wife and I like the car since we bought it. Next visit to dealer for the routine oil and tire rotation and a detailing. Still running well with no problems encountered with recent Mobil 1 oil change at home. I would still recommend it for an affordable mid size with a V-6 alternative to expensive imports but only time will tell it's durability.8/2019 52,000miles. Gas mileage still low due to city traffic but has the power to pull 5 passengers uphill to highway speeds quickly. Just replaced 4 tires with Michelin Latitudes and handles well in the snow again. 2/2019 48,000 miles: The car mechanics and electronics still working like new, mostly inner city driving by my wife. The transmission shift points still feel soft or vague at low throttle settings. Overall it still is gas thirsty but runs well on highway and enough power with a full load and A/C on to keep up with traffic. First mechanical failure was the windshield wiper motor transmission during a heavy rain storm this weekend and I have installed new ceramic brake pads all around at 40K miles and in for Dexos oil and filter changes every 6 months. I hope it gives long term reliability and comfort for the wife and kids and those occasional family road trips.Ĩ/2018 43000 miles of wife driving mostly inner city trips. It came with the a CPO extended warranty but will need an extended service contract to 6 years / 100K miles for anticipated repairs to a typical GM product.It has all the features of a higher priced SUV and I like to buy USA products(even though built in Canada) and have a local Chevy dealer for service or local mechanics. I wanted the extra power for a full load of adults with luggage and deep snow for AWD in the mountains.The rear seat is only suitable for 2 adults and 3 in a pinch. Only driven 500 miles but everything works well except the transmission shifts feel vague and sluggish at low throttle speeds but crisp under acceleration. The trip computer does give instantaneous mileage and average over 50 mile distance. It has a tight nimble handling with plenty of power for acceleration but gas thirsty in city traffic. It has the 3.6 V6 LT2 leather heated seats and sunroof. I bought this SUV for a family car as an upgrade to the old Montana SV6AWD.
