VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE RAIN AND WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THEY WERE STUCK IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. I GOT OFF THE ROAD AND MOVED THEM PHYSICALLY DOWN OUT OF MY VIEW. THEY THEN WOULD NOT TURN ON. I CAN HEAR THE MOTOR TURNING BUT THE WIPERS DO NOT MOVE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
DRIVING BETWEEN 40-45MGH AND STABILITRAK FAILURE SERVICE AND ABS FAILURE LIGHT COMES ON. AT EVERY BUMP THE SERVICE LIGHTS GOES ON AND OFF. THEN ON A SMOOTH SERVICE THE STABILITRAK LIGHTS COMES ON UNTIL I GET HOME. WITH THE COLLISION WARNING TURNED ON THE CAR ALSO AND ALMOST FREQUENTLY TENDS TO BRAKE ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING. BUT HERE'S THE REAL PROBLEM THIS 2014 GMC TERRAIN DENALI CAR IS NOT ON THE 'RECALL' LIST - WHY? SEEMS IT'S FROM THE SAME CAR MANUFACTURER WITH SAME ISSUES, SHOULDN'T IT BE ON THE SAME RECALL LIST.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY DURING A THUNDERSTORM, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHICH FORCED ME TO PULL OVER BECAUSE OF NO VIABILITY! I HAD TO WIATBFOR THE RAIN TO STOP IN ORDER TO MAKE IT HOME. HAVE REPLACED FUSE AND THEY ARE STILL NOT WORKING! WAS TOLD THAT THE MOTOR MAY HAVE FAILED AND WOULD COST AROUND 300 TO 400 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE REPORTS OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. WIPERS ARE STILL NOT WORKING AS I AM UNABLE TO AFFORD REPAIR COST.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY 2014 TERRAIN STALLED OUT AT A STOP SIGN. I RESTARTED THE TRUCK AND WAS IT MADE A NOISE AS THOUGH SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH A BELT. I WENT AROUND THE BLOCK AND IT STALLED OUT 3 MORE TIMES. I BACKED IT INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND NOTICED ALL OF THE OIL ON THE GROUND. I HAD THE TRUCK PUT ON A FLATBED AND TOWED TO THE DEALER. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THE REAR MASTER SEAL BLEW. SOMEHOW, AS EXPLAINED TO ME, WATER GETS INTO THE ENGINE AND FREEZES. THIS CAUSES PRESSURE AND THAT IS THE CAUSE OF THE DAMAGE. MY TERRAIN TURNED 5 YRS OLD ON 11/21/19 WITH ONLY 50,249 MILES. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED A GM VEHICLE AND HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM UNTIL NOW. THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER SINCE IT IS 5 YRS OLD AND I AM OUT $3,000 FOR REPAIRS. I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE TRUCK PAID OFF YET. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL OR POLICY/WARRANTY WAIVER.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THIS MORNING DURING A STORM, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING. I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING AND WAS WORRIED I WAS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO MAKE IT OFF TO THE NEAREST EXIT TO CHECK MY WIPERS. THE WIPERS WOULDN'T WORK BUT I COULD HEAR THE MOTOR WORKING. WHEN I FINALLY MADE IT BACK TO MY HOUSE, I CHECKED ON THIS AND FOUND THAT OLDER TERRAINS WERE RECALLED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE WITH WIPER BLADES BEING FAULTY.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I RECEIVED A DOCUMENT DATED DEC 2019 REGARDING A CONDITION WHERE A LINK BALL SOCKET IN THE WIPER TRANSMISSION MAY SEPARATE CAUSING A COMPLETE LOSS OF WIPER FUNCTION. IT IS NOT BEING HANDLED AS A RECALL WHICH I THINK IT SHOULD BE. ONLY VEHICLES WHICH EXPERIENCE THIS FAILURE WILL BE REPAIRED. THIS APPEARS TO BE MORE OF A SAFETY ISSUE THAN AN ADVISORY AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL OR BE DONE FOR FREE AT THE OWNERS REQUEST. I CONTACTED PATRIOT GMC IN BOYERTOWN AND ASKED THAT THE REPAIR BE DONE UNDER THE ADVISORY NOTICE AS A COURTESY BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK.

AS MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS FILED HERE MY WIPER TRANSMISSION/LINKAGE HAS FAILED ALSO BUT JUST WEEK FOR THE SECOND TIME AFTER HAVING REPLACED IT JUST LAST YEAR WITH NEW REPLACEMENT ONE. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND IT WAS SNOWING PARTIAL CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. LAST YEAR WHEN IT FAILED IT WAS RAINING ON MY WAY HOME ON HIGHWAY. NEEDLESS TO SAY I WOULD LIKE AN EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THIS HAS FAILED FOR A SECOND TIME AND NO MANUFACTURING DESIGN UPGRADE HAS BEEN DONE BY GM TO RECTIFY THIS CONTINUAL FAILURE.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE SINCE 11/2019. IT TWICE HAS HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS IN 12/2019. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON FOR ABOUT A WEEK. THE AUTO START WAS NOT WORKING, AND THE ONLY ISSUE I SEEN WAS THAT IF IT SAT RUNNING FOR A WHILE LIKE FOR INSTANCES, WARMING UP, IT FLOODED AND THE ENGINE WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN A FEW SECONDS AFTER IGNITION KEY WAS TAKEN OUT OF THE IGNITION. ENGINE WOULD STOP AFTER BUBBLING TO A STOP. THEN THE CHECK LIGHT WENT OUT AND EVERYTHING WORKED PROPERLY. BUT, ON 2/1/2020, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. MY AUTO START IS NOT WORKING AGAIN. AS LONG THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT AUTO START. THE CAR IS AGAIN FLOODING OUT AFTER ENGINE SHUT DOWN. AFTER IGNITION KEY IS TAKEN OUT OF IGNITION. THE ENGINE WILL RUN FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN BUBBLE TO A ENGINE STOP. WONDER IF OTHER CUSTOMERS HAS HAD PROBLEMS LIKE THIS TOO? BUT, THAT IS NOT NORMAL FOR A VEHICLE TO HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIKE TO COME ON AND IT INTERFERES WITH THE AUTO START AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO FLOOD OUT LIKE IT DOES.
