SEAT BELTS
I was in a pretty nasty single vehicle accident. I had my seatbelt on and it DID NOT LOCK on impact as should. It was like I didn’t even have a seatbelt on. I had free range of motion which meant I was pretty much just being bounced around with the airbags and could of went through the windshield it was that bad.

All service was always performed on my car on schedule. I was driving from work to school to pick up the kids, and my car went silent and I had no control. Almost all the oil was gone and the timing chain had broke and destroyed my motor. I had just had the oil changed a few weeks before. Now it needs a new motor.

I have had the same oil consumption and car stalling problems as everyone else. When the oil gets low after a few hundred miles, it stalls out when starting from a stopped position. It goes through a quart of oil at less than 1,000 miles. Add me to the list that says they need to recall the 2014 Terrains since they have the same problem as the 2011 to 2013 Terrains that were recalled.

ENGINE
February 3, 2022 I noticed a slight stutter in my 2014 GMC Terrain (approximately 111,346 miles) when accelerating after stopping at a stop sign. When stopped at the next stop sign the stutter happened again, and I aborted an attempt to make a left hand turn onto a 2 lane highway. Once the highway was safe again to make a left turn I attempted the turn, and the car died in the middle of the highway. There were no check engine lights, or other warning lights on at the time of the stutter, or when the car died. I was able to restart the car (no warning lights once restarted) and continue driving to my destination to drop my child off at school, and return home. Upon arriving home I researched the issue, and found similar complaints regarding the same issue of 2014 Terrains either stalling while driving, or having complete engine failure while traveling highway speeds. Upon further research I also found numerous complaints regarding unusual oil consumption. In 5 days I added 5 qts of oil, and took it to a repair shop February 10, 2022 where they added 4 quarts of oil and diagnosed a rear main seal (again no check engine light, or oil pressurewarning light). Bottom of my car is currently covered in oil from the massive leak. I purchased the vehicle used, and have changed the oil on the recommended schedule with 5-30 synthetic blend oil.

I purchased this vehicle in October. Had the oil changed end of October. Yesterday took it in to the shop and they told me there was no oil in it, that it burned through 5 quarts of oil in two and a half months! I search this problem and found out! That there was a class action lawsuit for 2010-2013 that was settled for this problem!!!! Not the 2014. Please issue a recall the problem is the same with the 2014. I cannot afford to put a new motor in this…the mechanic said I got lucky it didn’t blow up. He said that is the only fix that can fix the burning of the oil.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
The ball joint on the windshield wipers failed (mid rain storm on the highway) causing the wipers to fail. There is a recall for this issue on 2013 GMC Terrains, but not on any other model years. The vehicle is being repaired at a dealership for $650CAD, can upload invoice if needed after completion. The part is available for inspection. Not being able to see at night, on the highway and in a rainstorm put not only myself and passenger at risk, but also all the vehicles travelling on the highway with me. The part has not been inspected by anyone except a GM mechanic. No warning at all prior to this failure.

Windshield wipers stopped working during heavy rainfall. No warning signs, were working fine, and then just stopped. Fortunately I was traveling at a manageable rate of speed given the weather conditions & lack of daylight. Appears this is a known issue for multiple GMC models.
