    There is a known issue with the oil consumption in multiple other GM models with the same 2.4 engine. Even after getting my routine oil change unpon checking my oil it was completely empty. This issue causes the vehicle to idle when there is no excelleration and it has even cut off twice within the past 5 months due to this issue. The recall was brought to my attention by the GMC service department where I purchased the vehicle while I was explaining the current issue. There are no alerts that the vehicle is completely out of oil, the check engine light never came in and there were no other warning signs, even when the vehicle has cut off.

    The front brakes and rotors have been changed twice in 2 months time, over $400. Something is causing the rotors to warp. The heat went out in the middle of winter because the blend door broke, $800. Also, about 6 months ago I had to have the timing chain and a gasket replaced because of the ongoing oil consumption issue, $1300. It's an expensive problem for the owners of these vehicles and no reasonable solution.

    The windshield wipers stopped working on 3/24/2022. There is a recall on the windshield wipers of this vehicle. I called Sunrise GMC Wolfchase and gave them the VIN and they confirmed that It was a recall and scheduled an appointment to fix it for the following week 3/29/2022. I brought the vehicle in and was told by the service manager that they would not fix the windshield wipers according to the recall because the car has a new/savage title. However, they had all parts in stock and would be able to fix it for the price of 575.32. I do not understand this because after reviewing the NHTSA.GOV answers I read that "being salvaged is not reason for a manufacturer to deny a recall. Under the law, they must replace that defective part as long as the car is drivable." Please advise as soon as possible on what steps to take next. As of now, This is our only vehicle and it is needed for transportation to and from work. Thankyou

    My 2015 GMS Terrain SLE-2 engine failed last week with 109000 miles, just past the warranty. I was told the engine ran out of oil yet there were no signs of leaks. This caused the timing chain to fail and lifters broke. I have it changed regularly at my original and then local dealership and have all receipts. I had to scrap the car. GM nor the dealership informed me that there were issues with oil consumption. The dealership had NO explanation as to how it ran out of oil.

    The windshield wiper motor arm disconnects from the wiper arm making the windshield wipers inoperable. It has happened to my car several times.
