ENGINE
CAR MAKES TERRIBLE ENGINE NOISE WHEN STARTING/AS IT IDLES. THIS IS ALMOST ALWAYS DUE TO LOW OIL.THIS CAR BURNS THROUGH OIL FASTER THAN ANYTHING IVE EVER SEEN. EVEN WITH FULL SYNTHETIC OIL I HAVE TO ADD AT LEAST QUART EVERY 700 MILES FOR SO. KEEPING THE OIL LEVEL UP HELPS OBV, HOWEVER THIS PROBLEM WAS GOING ON FOR SOME TIME BEFORE I FIGURED OUT THE CAR WAS CONSUMING OIL AT A SUPER FAST RATE. SO WHO KNOWS WHAT DAMAGE MAY BE INSIDE THE ENGINE AT THIS POINT. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TIMING CHAIN ON THE I4 ENGINES AND THEY BURN OIL BECAUSE THE TIMING IS OFF. HOWEVER GM'S ONLY FIX THUS FAR IS TO RUN AN OIL STUDY WHICH TAKES UP A LOT OF TIME.THIS IS ALSO HUGE PAIN WHEN DEALING WITH ANY DEALER, BECAUSE ONLY A GM DEALER CAN RUN THE TEST, AND EVEN IF IT IS FOUND THAT YOUR CAR IS BURNING OIL THEY WILL DETERMINE IT AS "NORMAL" IF IT'S NOT A SPECIFIC RATE. THERE'S NO WAY FULL SYNTHETIC SHOULD BE BURNING UP THIS QUICKLY. GM NEEDS TO DO A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT WILL NOT BECAUSE ONCE THEY TRULY FIX THE ISSUE IT WILL OPEN UP A CAN OF WORMS THAT WOULD COST THEM THOUSANDS. SO INSTEAD THE COST IS PASSED ON TO THE OWNER. IF THEY DO OFFER A FIX AFTER THE OIL STUDY IT'S ONLY FOR A PISTON RING KIT WHICH DOES NOT ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM OF THE BAD TIMING CHAIN. SO FAR THE ONLY RELIEF I HAVE FOUND IS TO TURN THE ECO MODE OFF. THIS GIVES A LITTLE RELIEF TO THE CONSTANT FILLING OF OIL. OTHER THAN THAT IF THE CAR IS LOW ON OIL YOU WILL FEEL A CHUGGING/ JERKING OF THE CAR, PARTICULARLY AT A STOP OR LOW IDLE. I LOVE THE LOOK OF GMC'S HOWEVER I DON'T THINK I CAN EVER BUY ONE AGAIN AFTER DEALING WITH AN ISSUE LIKE THIS AND HAVING GM NOT RECALL A WIDELY KNOW ISSUE.

WHEN THE REAR POWERED LIFT GATE OPENED AND REACHED THE TOP POSITION, IT IMMEDIATELY REVERSES DIRECTION, RAPIDLY CLOSING APPROXIMATELY 30% DOWN, THEN REVERSES AGAIN AND RETURNED TO THE FULL OPEN POSITION, THEN REVERSED AGAIN AND CLOSED ALL OF THE WAY. THIS "HAMMER" ACTION HAPPENED AUTOMATICALLY. ALSO, ANY SAFETY CONTROLS TO PREVENT ENTRAPMENT OR PINCH WHEN THE LIFT GATE IS CLOSED NO LONGER WORKED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS GOING TO PUT GROCERIES AWAY AND HAD BEGUN TO ENTER THE TRUNK WHILE THE REAR GATE WAS OPENING. THE LIFT GATE THEN SLAMMED DOWN ON MY HEAD (WHICH ALMOST KNOCKED ME OFF MY FEET AND ULTIMATELY CAUSED A BUMP) RAISED BACK UP AND THEN BEGAN LOWERING AGAIN. I ATTEMPTED TO PREVENT IT FROM CLOSING DOWN ON ME AGAIN BUT COULD NOT HOLD THE WEIGHT/FORCE FOR VERY LONG. AND WHEN I LET GO IT SLAMMED CLOSED. THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS HEAD/NECK INJURY FROM THE INITIAL UNCONTROLLED REVERSAL MOTION, NOT TO MENTION A CRUSH OR ENTRAPMENT HAZARD (ESPECIALLY TO CHILDREN) WHEN THE LIFT GATE FINALLY CLOSES. NOTE: I HAVE A VIDEO FILE AVAILABLE BUT IT IS TOO LARGE TO SEND PER THE UPLOAD LIMITS STATED BELOW.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER RECALL. I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE MY 2011 GMC TERRAIN FOR ABOUT A 7 MONTHS NOW. BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2017, SO I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AT THAT TIME, I TOOK MY TERRAIN IN FOR A REGULARLY SECHEDUALED OIL CHANGE. WHILE GETTING MY OIL CHANGED I ASKED IF THEY COULD LOOK AT MY CAR TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THEY SAID I HAD A LEAK IN MY EXHAUST AND THAT MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS BROKEN. I WAS LOOKING UP PRICES TO GET THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER CHANGED AND SAW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR IT AND CALLED MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT MORE. I AM NOW AT 123000 MILES, SO THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT I WAS OVER THE ALLOWED MILES OF 120,000. I SWITCHED P.O. BOXES AND NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER LETTING ME KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL. I DO HAVE THE PAPER SAYING THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS BROKEN AND AT THE TIME I HAD 119,856 MILES WHICH IS JUST UNDER THE 120,000 MILE MARK, AND THAT WAS AFTER ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF OF ISSUE WITH MY TERRAIN. I WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU WOULD HONOR THE RECALL SINCE I HAVE THE DOCUMENT STATING I WASN'T AT 120,000 MILES AND THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS BROKEN, THE DOCUMENT IS INCLUDED IN THE PICTURE BELOW.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), 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. I WAS TOLD THE THAT IT SAYS A MISCOMMUNICATION AND NO CODE IS RECORDED. THE SERVICE LIGHT ISSUES HAPPEN ON CITY STREETS. THE SLUGGISH ACCELERATION HAPPENS ON BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY. I HAVE BEEN TO THE GMC DEALER SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST 2-3 WEEKS.

ENGINE
VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE AFTER PULLING OFF THE HIGHWAY ONTO A BUSY CITY ROAD. THE CAUSE WAS OIL SPILLING ONTO THE HOT EXHAUST AFTER CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE WHEN THE PISTON RODS WENT THROUGH THE SIDE OF THE BLOCK. A BYSTANDER HAD A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT IN THE ENGINE BAY, AFTER I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS ACCORDING TO OUR INSURANCE COMPANY, BUT WE HAVE A CLAIM ON OUR RECORD WITH INSURANCE GOING UP SINCE GM WOULD NOT COVER THE CLAIM BECAUSE THE MILEAGE WAS OVER 100,000 MILES EVEN THOUGH THIS OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE WAS PRESENT WELL BEFORE 100,000 MILES. SOMETIME PRIOR TO THIS THE DEALER PERFORMED A PISTON REBUILD FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. AFTER THE REPAIR THE VEHICLE MADE A KNOCKING NOISE ON START UP. THE DEALER PASSED THIS OFF AND WE WERE TOLD NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. WE PRESSED THE ISSUE A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THE ANSWER WAS THE SAME, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, IT WILL GO AWAY. THIS IS JUST UNACCEPTABLE AND DANGEROUS TO THE OWNERS OF THIS ENGINE.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY GMC TERRAIN. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER (DORAL GMC, IN MIAMI, FL) ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WITH NO RESPONSE. I HAVE SUBMITTED A WRITTEN COMPLAINT TO GMC ON APRIL 10TH, 2012 AND NEVER RECEIVED A REPLY. I'VE EXPERIENCED CONTINUOUS CAR PROBLEMS SINCE THE PURCHASE OF MY VEHICLE. WITHIN THE FIRST 3 MONTHS OF PURCHASE MY CAR HAD ALREADY BEEN KEPT AT THE DEALER FOR 30 DAYS ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. VEHICLE PROBLEMS WERE, FOR EXAMPLE; THE AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT TURNED ON, CAR TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, THIS ISSUE WAS TAKEN CARE OF BUT RETURNED SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE IT CORRECTED AS IT KEPT HAPPENING. THE VEHICLE ALSO EXPERIENCED TRANSMISSION ISSUES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO KEPT TURNING ON AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULDN'T FIGURE ANYTHING OUT WITH MY VEHICLE.THIS WAS MY FIRST GMC PURCHASE AND IT HAS BEEN MY ABSOLUTE WORST EXPERIENCE WITH ANY AMERICAN CAR COMPANY. THE LATEST ISSUE SINCE DECEMBER OF 2017 HAS BEEN THE AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT ONCE AGAIN AND THE STABILITY TRACK LIGHT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE ONCE AGAIN AND I WAS CHARGED FOR DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE SO THAT THE ISSUE COULD BE FOUND FOR EACH ISSUE AND WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $135.00 PER ISSUE. I ONLY PAID FOR THE AIRBAG ISSUE SINCE IT SEEMED TO BE THE MOST DANGEROUS ONE AND WAS TOLD BY SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THE MODULE KIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS NEW CHARGE WAS $ 823.90 THAT I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE A FACTORY ONE AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. I'VE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT AND HAVE KEPT IT SERVICED AND WELL MAINTAINED AT THE DEALER THROUGH OUT ALL THE RECALLS AND SERVICE PROBLEMS. THE REASON I PAID FOR THIS SERVICE WAS MAINLY FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY BUT ONCE AGAIN, IT'S AN INCONVENIENCE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE THIS GMC VEHICLE, IT HAS OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES WHICH ALSO AFFECTS THE PISTONS, TIMING CHAIN AND THE PERFORMANCE AND DRIVABILITY OF THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS A RECALL OF SORTS ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL UP TO SO MANY MILES. I NEVER SAW ANYTHING MAILED OR SENT TO ME ABOUT THIS. RECENTLY I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT STALING OUT WHEN DRIVING AND PULLING INTO HIGHWAYS. I TOOK IT IN TO A GMC DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM WORK WITH ME TO GET GMC TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS NOW OVER THE ALLOWED MILES AND THEY WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO HELP CORRECT THE ISSUE, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW I'M SUPPOSED TO MAGICALLY KNOW THERE WAS AN ISSUE AND A RECALL ON PROBLEMS IF I NEVER WAS NOTIFIED AND IT DIDN'T START EXHIBITING MAJOR PROBLEMS UNTIL IT WAS NOT WITHIN THE ALOTED MILES THEY HAVE SET. AS I STATED EARLIER, THE DRIVEABLITY IS AFFECTED AND IT SEEMS LIKE AN UNSAFE AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS ISSUE, I'M REACHING OUT AND TRYING TO FIND OUT IF THERE IS ANY KINDA OF SOLUTION THAT CAN BE RESOLVED WITHOUT ME SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON A VEHICLE THAT HAS A DOCUMENTED HISTORY IF ISSUES.

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THIS SUV, IT WAS FINE. THEN TWO YEARS INTO HAVING THIS VEHICLE I HAD TO KEEP PUTTING OIL INTO IT. IT TURNS OUT THAT THIS YEAR CAR HAS AN OIL COMSUPTION RECALL. HOWEVER, I HAD TO GO IN FOR A TEST, I ALMOST RAN OUT OF OIL WITHIN A WEEK MY CAR WOULD STALL ON THE HIGHWAY, I WAS ALSO REAR ENDED BECAUSE IT WOULD OUT OF OIL WHEN IT WASN'T SUPPOSE TO. IN DEC 2017 I TOOK THE CAR IN AND GOT THE CAR RECALL DONE WHICH WAS NO CHARGE TO ME. HOWEVER, TWO DAYS AFTER THE RECALL WAS DONE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH IS CAPPELLINO BUICK GMC IN WILLIAMSVILLE AND THEY CHARGED ME THE 119 TO DIANOGSIS THE CAR AND TELL ME THAT IT WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. HE TOLD ME THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS NOT COVERED ENOUGH THOUGH HE STATES THAT THEY KNOW THAT THE ENGINE CONSUMPTION RECALL MADE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER GET CLOGGED. I HAVE CHANGED MY O2 SENSOR TWICE AND I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO CHANGE IT AGAIN BECAUSE ONCE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER GOES, TYPICALLY THE O2 SENSORS GO AS WELL. IF YOUR CAR IS CONSUMING A LOT OF OIL, BLOWING BLACK SMOKE AND IT IS A GMC TERRAIN (NO MATTER THE YEAR), GET IT CHECKED, HONESTLY, I AM NOT BEING OVERDRAMATIC, IT COULD BE LIFE OR DEATH. IF YOU HAVE KIDS AND YOU HAVE THE CAR, GO FOR A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST ASAP. MY CAR STALLED OUT ON THE HIGHWAY, STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS, EVEN WHEN NOT COMPLETELY STOPPED OR PERFORMING A "ROLLING STOP".

MY VEHICLE, 2010 GMC TERRAIN, AT TIMES WOULD SPUTTER AND ACT LIKE IT WANTS TO DIE AT IDLE, SO I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING INTO THE CRANKCASE CONTAMINATING THE OIL WITH FUEL. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, #43180: PRODUCT EMISSION RECALL ' HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP, REFERENCE # N16204318, RELEASE DATE: SEPTEMBER 2016. I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL BECAUSE IT DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN. I BELIEVE THAT THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO COVER MORE VEHICLES BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE VEHICLES THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE.
