I was happy, simply GM doesn't stand behind them

I was very pleased when I purchased this car new in 2012. I don't drive a lot then I'1000 currently merely 50k miles. Very well kept and maintained. Recently in the last year, it started using oil (a quart a month), I'm told this is normal, yet I've been driving for 36 years, and NEVER had a vehicle that used a quart of oil in 1 month that was nether 120k miles let alone just hitting 50k. Over all it was a fine vehicle, only since GM does not stand behind their products to ready their mistakes in the proper noun of profit, I tin can't recommend annihilation GM.

The SLT has everything I need and want in an SUV. Loaded with options that come standard, and able to tow our pocket-size travel trailer. Besides very stylish compared to all the umbilicus (everone has one) cars in this class.

By Unhappy customer from Spokane Valley

Owns this automobile

Constantly breaking down. In the last three months I have paid over $3000 in repairs, back to back breakdowns with 65,000 miles. Numerous recalls. Unreliable, and it has been simply a coin guzzler.
