ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHILE DRIVING THE STABILITY TRACK SERVICE LIFT COMES ON, THE ABS, BRAKES, SERVICE ALL WHEEL DRIVE, AS WELL AS THE SERVICE POWER STEERING AT WHICH TIME I LOSE POWER STEERING. IT ALSO FEELS LIKE IT IS ACCELERATING SLUGGISHLY WHEN DRIVE SOMETIMES. THIS HAPPENS AND GOES OFF SOMETIMES WITH OUT ME TURNING THE CAR OFF OR STOPPING BUT OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF. IT HAPPENS VARIOUS TIMES. AT ONE MOMENT IT IS DRIVING FINE AND THEN THESE LIGHTS COME ON. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP THE LIGHTS HAVE GONE OFF AND THEY GET NO CODES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH DURING A THUNDERSTORM AND HAIL, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FAILED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND NOTICED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE COMPLETELY INOPERATIVE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DURING A DRIVING RAIN, GOING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, WHEN I PUT MY WIPERS ON HIGH, THEY STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. I HAD BEEN IN THE PASSING LANE, HAD TO AVOID CRASHING, AND GET OVER 2 LANES AND GET MYSELF TO THE NEAREST EXIT. A WHITE KNUCKLE EXPERIENCE, TO SAY THE LEAST. WE HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE WIPER MOTOR AT OUR EXPENSE AND INCONVENIENCE.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING ON A ILLINOIS INTERSTATE HIGHWAY DURING HEAVY RAIN THE WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED IN THE EXTENDED POSITIION PARTICALLY BLOCKING MY VIEW OF THE HIGHWAY. I PULLED OVER AND COULD ONLY RETURN THE WIPER BLADES TO THE HOME POSITION AND THEY WOULD NOT WORK AT THIS POINT. TOOK TO MY DEALER AND IT WAS FOUND THAT THE WIPER TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED. GMC HAS ISSUED A RECALL ON EARLIER MODEL YEARS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS SAME AS BEING REPORTED ON RECALLED VEHICLES. HOWEVER, THE 2016 MODEL YEAR OF THE GMC TERRAIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AT THIS TIME. FROM RESEARCH I HAVE DONE, THE WIPER TRANSMISSION ON MY VEHICLE IS THE SAME DESIGN AS THE VEHICLES INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. ALTHOUGH AN ACCIDENT WAS NOT A PART OF THIS FAILURE, IT COULD HAVE BEEN AS I WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY INTERSTATE HIGHWAY AT THE TIME AND IT WAS RAINING HARD. COPY OF DEALER INVOICE FOR WORK PERFORMED IS ATTACHED WHICH SHOWS THAT THIS WAS A WIPER TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THEIR HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS OF OTHER FAILURES FOR THE 2016 MODELS AND WANTED TO ADD MY FAILURE TO THE LIST.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE SHIFTER IS DANGEROUS. IT ALLOWS YOU TO INADVERTENTLY SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING. IN A CAR WITH A NORMAL SHIFTER, THE SHIFTER NEEDS TO BE PUSHED WITH SIGNIFICANT FORCE TO MOVE IT INTO NEUTRAL AND THE RESULTING THUNK WILL LET YOU KNOW IT HAPPENED. IN THIS CAR, SINCE IT IS AN ELECTRONIC BUTTON THAT CAN BE EASILY PRESSED, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT IS IN A LOCATION WHERE IT MIGHT GET HIT BY AN OBJECT LIKE A PURSE. THE DRIVER MAY WIND UP WITHOUT POWER AND THEN NOT HAVE AN EASY WAY TO REINGAGE DRIVE. ALSO, THERE IS NO PHYSICAL DIFFERENTIATION BETWEEN DRIVE AND REVERSE, WHICH CAN CAUSE CONFUSION IN LOW SPEED DRIVING INTERACTIONS IF A DRIVER DOES NOT LOOK AT THE BUTTONS. VEHICLES SHOULD HAVE A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO INDICATE WHEN THE VEHICLE GOES INTO NEUTRAL ABOVE A CERTAIN SPEED AS WELL AS HAVING THE PHYSICAL BUTTONS REPLACED WITH SOMETHING THAT OFFERS A TACTILE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REVERSE AND DRIVE.

THE WHOLE INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM, INCLUDING BACKUP CAMERA AND NAVIGATION, IS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. ACCORDING TO REPORTS FROM THE GMC DEALERSHIP AND FROM ONLINE BLOGS, THIS IS A WELL KNOWN SYSTEMIC PROBLEM THAT GM IS NOT ADDRESSING. SAFETY ISSUES: 1. THE BACKUP CAMERA DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY. WHEN I PUT CAR IN REVERSE THE SCREEN STAYS BLACK WITHOUT ANY VIEW OF THE AREA BEHIND THE VEHICLE.. THIS IS DANGEROUS IN ANY VEHICLE, BUT ESPECIALLY IN THE GMC TERRAIN THAT IS FULL OF BLIND SPOTS. 2. THE RADIO COMES ON SPONTANEOUSLY DESPITE BEING TURNED 'OFF'. THE VOLUME DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE VOLUME CONTROL KNOB. THE RADIO DOES NOT TURN OFF AFTER PRESSING THE ON/OFF CONTROL. TRYING TO DEAL WITH THIS RADIO WHILE DRIVING IS EXTREMELY DISTRACTING AND DANGEROUS. THE PROBLEM STARTED ON 10/01/18 AND HAS NOT RESOLVED ON ITS OWN. MY GMC DEALER HAS SEEN A LOT OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS IN THIS VEHICLE MODEL.

1. LANE DEPARTURE WARNING ONLY WORKS WITH HANDS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL.GM REFUSES TO FIX IT AS THEY SAID THEY DESIGNED THE VEHICLE THIS WAY. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND DRIVES WITH HANDS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL, WE BOUGHT THIS FEATURE FOR OUR YOUNG DRIVERS TO HAVE THEM REMINDED IF THEY DRIFT OUT OF THEIR LANE. 2. WARNING WINDOW ABOUT DISTRACTED DRIVING DISPLAYS ON THE RADIO SCREEN WHILE DRIVING, SO YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD TO PUSH OK TO GET RID OF IT. GM REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT EITHER. 3. SEATBELTS ARE NON ADJUSTABLE HEIGHTWISE AND LENGTHWISE. THEY ARE OK FOR TALL PEOPLE, FOR ME BEING 5'4 THEY ARE UNCOMFORTABLE AND RUB MY NECK.SO I HAVE TO DRIVE WITHOUT THEM. GM IN 2018 DESIGNED ALL THEIR GMC AND BUICK VEHICLES THIS WAY, TO SAVE MONEY, I AM SURE. THESE TYPE OF UNADJUSTSBLE SEATBELTS WERE USED BACK IM THE 80'S.

JANURARY 7TH 2018 MY 2012 GMC TERRAIN RAN OUT OF OIL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ALREADY FIXED 6 MONTHS PRIOR FOR SPECIAL ADJUSTMENT COVERAGE 16118 WHICH HAD PISTONS, PISTON RINGS, TIMING CHAIN ETC. FIXED TO REPAIR THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE (SEE ADJUSTMENTS 14882 AND 16118. COVERAGE 14882 IS A RESULT OF FAILURE TO CORRECTLY FIX THE 16118 AND IS A DIRECT RESULT OF 14882 AND GMC STATES THEY WILL COVER ME IF THIS HAPPENS. GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS MY VIN # IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS COVERAGE. IF ITS THE SAME EXACT ISSUE FOR (MODEL/ENGINE) WHY WOULD VIN # MATTER? ON TOP OF THAT I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER (DEALERSHIP B) AS I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO LETS CALL IT DEALERSHIP A SO MANY TIMES BEFORE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. DEALERSHIP B FILLED IT WITH OIL AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. I TOLD THEM TO MAKE SURE THE ISSUE WAS FIXED. THEY SAID THEY TEST DROVE IT AND EVERYTHING IS FINE AND THEY DIDNT DO ANYTHING BUT PUT OIL IN IT AND TEST. ON THE WAY HOME JAN. 7TH THE SAME DAY THE CAR STARTING DYING ON ME, STALLING AND MAKING POPPING NOISES AND JERKING WILDLY WHICH IS WHY I BROUGHT IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. DEALERSHIP B KNOWING DEALERSHIP A "FIXED" THIS ISSUE 6 MONTHS BEFORE SO THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW FOR SURE THIS ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY COVERAGE 14882. I TOLD DEALERSHIP A THIS AND THEY SAID THEY ARE ONLY GOING WITH WHAT GMC SAYS WHICH IS THAT MY VIN # IS NOT COVERED BUT THEY WERE WILLING TO SPLIT THE COST WITH ME (ROUGHLY $850, ADMITTING PARTIAL FAULT, LOL) I SAID NO AND THEN PLEADED WITH THEM THAT I SHOULDNT PAY ANYTHING CAUSE IM COVERED. THEY ENDED THE CONVERSATION WITH THE VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE COVERAGE 16882 IS NOT RELATED IN ANY WAY TO 14882 BUT EVEN GMC AND DEALERSHIP B SAYS THEY ARE DIRECTLY RELATED. WHO IS LYING HERE? I PAY $450 A MONTH FOR A GIANT SUV THAT SITS IN MY GARAGE. GMC IS KNOWINGLY BREAKING THE LAW, HOW CAN THEY DO THIS TO SO MANY PEOPLE?

THEIR IS A START/STOP FEATURE IN THIS MODEL WHERE THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTS. I'M TOLD IT'S FOR FUEL EFFICIENCY. ONE DAY I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN WHICH HAPPENED TO BE ON A SMALL HILL. THE CAR STOPPED AND BEGAN ROLLING BACKWARDS. IT SCARED ME AND I THOUGHT I WOULD HIT THE CAR BEHIND ME. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO MAKE THE CAR RE-START, THEN IMMEDIATELY STEPPED ON THE BRAKE. I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD SACRIFICE SAFETY OVER FUEL. IF ONLY THERE WAS AN OPTION TO DISABLE THIS FUNCTION. I WAS SCARED FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WERE BEHIND ME. SCARY SITUATION TO BE IN!

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS APPROX. 54K MILES AND I BEGAN EXPERIENCING SERIOUS, DANGEROUS DEFECTS WITH THE VEHICLE ON 9/12/2018 WHEN I WAS BACKING OUT A PARKING STALL MY CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING. I WAS ABLE TO PLACE IT IN PARK THEN RESTART IT AND DRIVE ABOUT A MILE BEFORE IT SHUT OFF AGAIN AS I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT. I HAD TO COAST THE CAR ONTO A NEARBY STREET OUT OF TRAFFIC FOR MY AND MY SON'S SAFETY. I WAITED A FEW MOMENTS AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE ONCE MORE AND DROVE ABOUT 2 BLOCKS BEFORE IT SHUT OFF AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE GM DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT TO DETERMINE IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY RECALLS OR A WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO COVER TOWING AND DIAGNOSTIC FEES AND WAS NOT ENTITLED TO ANY TYPE OF WARRANTY COVERAGE. I HAD A TEST OF THE BATTERY PERFORMED WHICH CAME BACK THAT THE BATTERY WAS NOT GOOD. I PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY AND HAD IT INSTALLED THAT NIGHT. ALTHOUGH, I HAD A NEW BATTERY I HAD ANOTHER EPISODE OF THE CAR SHUTTING OFF WITH NO WARNING AFTER TRYING TO BACK OUT A PARKING STALL. IT WILL ALSO PERIODICALLY JERK AND HESITATE TO ACCELERATE AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. ON 10/22/18 AS I WAS ENTERING THE ON RAMP TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, THE CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING NOR LIGHT INDICATORS. I PUT IT IN PARK AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT SO THAT I CAN MOVE IT TO A SAFE LOCATION. THE CAR AGAIN WOULD FEEL JERKY AT LOW IDLE SPEEDS AND WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AS I WAS IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN A DANGEROUS ORDEAL AS A PREGNANT WOMAN WITH KIDS IN THE CAR, WHILE ON A FREEWAY OR ROAD I CAN EASILY BE HIT FROM BEHIND. MY CAR IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD WITH 54K MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE SUCH SEVERE DEFECTS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE DRIVING MY CAR THE STABILI-TRACK SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE, BRAKE, ABS, AWD, AS WELL AS THE POWER STEERING LIGHTS COME ON. THEN I LOSE POWER STEERING AND MY SPEED IS THROTTLED DOWN A LOT. ITS HAPPENED ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND CITY STREETS. WHEN ON THE EXPRESSWAY I HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY GET TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. I'VE HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE MECHANICS SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY'VE TOLD ME THAT THERE ARE NO CODES WHEN HOOKING UP THE COMPUTER. THEY KEPT IT A FEW TIMES IN THE LAST 3 YEARS AND HAVE TOLD ME THERE WERE MISFIRES AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT AND TESTING IT OUT (TEST DRIVING) AND WORK WAS NEEDED (THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENT, SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENT, CAM SHAFT SWAP OUT AND A FULL TUNE-UP). $1000 AND LESS THAN A YEAR LATER IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND THEN AGAIN. THIS IS THE 3RD YEAR (2016, 2017, 2018) IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN A ROW AND ALL THE MECHANIC CAN SAY IS THAT IT MAY BE SOMETHING GM SHOULD INVESTIGATE. I'VE CALLED GM WITH NO LUCK. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND I AM THANKFUL THAT MY KIDS WERE NOT IN THE CAR WHEN IT HAPPENS. TRYING TO NAVIGATE TRAFFIC ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN YOUR CAR THROTTLES DOWN TO 25-35 MPH IS INSANE.
