2016 GMC TERRAIN Complaints

TRANSMISSION FIRST TO SECOND HAS A HARD SHIFT, THIS HAPPENS A LOT WITH THE SUV HAVING 33,106 MILES

WHILE TRAVELING HOME FROM OUT OF TOWN DURING A DOWNPOUR, THE WIPERS JUST STOPPED. AFTER WAITING OUT THE STORM, MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO LOCATE THE WIPER ASSEMBLY AND FOUND THAT THE ARM(HELD ON BY A SMALL, PLASTIC PIECE) HAD POPPED OFF ON ONE SIDE. HE WAS ABLE TO REATTACH IT, AND IT WAS FINE FOR A FEW DAYS UNTIL AGAIN, WHILE TRAVELING DURING A RAINSTORM, THEY STOPPED AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING BOTH TIMES AND AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I WAS UNABLE TO SEE ANYTHING IN FRONT OF ME AND HAD TO STOP IN TRAFFIC(WE WERE ON A COUNTRY ROAD WITH NO SHOULDER). WE WERE TOLD BY A LOCAL DEALER THAT THE PARTS SHOULD BE REPLACED, BUT THAT THE ASSEMBLY HADN'T CHANGED AND IT WOULD KEEP HAPPENING. WE ALSO FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE.

MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO CHECK AND FORA OUR 6 MONTHS BEFORE THAT THE TIRES ALWAYS NEEDED AIR. I TOOK THE CAR TO BE EXAMINE AND THEY SAID IT WAS MY TIRES, CHANGED THEM AND THE WHEEL WAS SEMI BETTER, HAD A FULL EXAMINATION DONE , ALIGNMENT , ROTATION AND BRAND NEW TIRES. PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WHEEL STILL REMAIN AND I AM WORRY FOR MY SAFETY AND THE PEOPLE IN THE CAR WITH ME. I DRIVE A LOT ON HIGHWAYS FOR WORK. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY (WITH MY CHILDREN) DURING A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR, WHEN MY WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. I HAD EXTREME DIFFICULTY SEEING TO BE ABLE TO MANEUVER MY CAR TO A SAFE PLACE WITHOUT WRECKING. IT WAS VERY SCARY FOR ALL OF US.(NOT TO MENTION TORNADO SIRENS GOING OFF AT THIS TIME.) SINCE THEN I HAVE REPLACED THE FUSE AND THE RELAY AND THEY STILL DO NOT WORK, SO I THINK IT MAY BE THE MOTOR. THIS CAR ISN'T OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE PROBLEMS LIKE THIS. THIS WITH THE OTHER PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD SINCE PURCHASING THE TERRAIN MAKE ME WISH I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT. NOW WE ARE STUCK NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE IT WHEN IT RAINS UNTIL I CAN SAVE UP THE MONEY TO FIX IT. THANKS A LOT GM. *TR

I HAVE HAD A RECURRING ISSUE WITH MY ACCELERATOR ASSEMBLY ON MY 2016 GMC TERRAIN DENALI. THE GM PART NUMBER IS 84022579. THE INITIAL PEDAL ASSEMBLY BROKE AT 26,722 MILES, WHEN THE CAR WAS ONLY 18 MONTHS OLD. THE PART WAS REPLACED, UNDER WARRANTY, AT A CERTIFIED GM DEALER. THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN ANOTHER 18 MONTHS LATER. UNFORTUNATELY GM ONLY CERTIFIES THE PART FOR 12 MONTHS AND 12,000 MILES, SO I HAD TO PAY FOR THE SECOND PEDAL ASSEMBLY OUT OF POCKET. THE SECOND REPAIR WAS ALSO DONE AT A CERTIFIED GMC DEALERSHIP. THIS RECURRING HISTORY OF ISSUES IS A CLEAR INDICATION THAT GM IS USING A FAULTY PART IN THIS VEHICLE,WHICH CREATES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE FOR DRIVERS. WHEN THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY BREAKS DOWN, IT AUTOMATICALLY PUTS THE CAR INTO LOW ENGINE POWER MODE. IF YOU ARE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY, YOUR SPEED WILL SUDDENLY DROP FROM 70 MPH TO 25 MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. FURTHER, THERE IS ESSENTIALLY NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE CAR IS IN LOW POWER MODE. THE OTHER SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE IS THAT EVENTUALLY THE CAR WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL AFTER A FEW MORE DAYS/USES. THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO OFF AND GIVE YOU THE IMPRESSION THAT THE ISSUE NO LONGER EXISTS, OR WAS A FALSE ALARM. THEN IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE HAPPEN TO ME ON 7 DIFFERENT OCCASSIONS, IN A VARIETY OF DRIVING CONDITIONS (HIGHWAY, CITY, FREEWAY, ETC). I'VE SPENT THE PAST 5 WEEKS WORKING WITH GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE TRYING TO GET A RESOLUTION. THEY HAVE INDICATED THAT THEY DO NOT THINK THIS IS A FAULTY PART, AND HAVE NOT PROVIDED ANY ASSISTANCE. THEY ARE IGNORING THE FACTS AND HISTORY OF MY CASES, INCLUDING MULTIPLE GMC CERTIFIED DIAGNOSES CONFIRMING THAT THE SAME PART CONTINUES TO BREAK. I WOULD ENCOURAGE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER AND HOLD GM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS. IT CREATES SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISKS FOR DRIVERS, AND IMPOSES SIGNIFICANT COSTS ON DRIVERS.

WHILE DRIVING IN A HEAVY SNOW STORM THE WIPER BLADES STOPPED WORKING AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OF USE. THEY STOPPED ENTIRELY, NO MOVEMENT AT ALL.

THE WIPERS STOPPED WORKING DURING SEVERE INCLEMENT WEATHER; ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK DUE TO THE INABILITY TO SEE THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY.

THE BALL JOINTS IN THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE CORRODED OVER TIME AND FELL OUT OF THE SOCKET. THIS CAUSED BOTH OF THE WIPERS TO STOP OPERATING WHILE USE IN RAIN CONDITIONS. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS CONTINUE TO BE INOPERABLE.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK THIS DAY THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD A NOISE. SOMETHING LIKE A FAN. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE WIND SO I LET THE WINDOW DOWN AND LISTENED BECAUSE THEIR WERE NO LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN EVERY LIGHT CAME ON AND IT SAID REDUCING SPEED. I CONTINUED DOWN THE ROAD...CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND WASN'T ABLE TO MOVE AFTER THAT. I HAD TO GET THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY HOME. I WAS IN MAYWOOD AND HAD TO GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO LYNWOOD. NOT BEFORE WAITING 87 MINS BEFORE THE TOW TRUCK CAME IN 6 DEGREE WEATHER. I HAD TO GO TO THE POLICE STATION BECAUSE IT WAS TOO COLD FOR ME TO BE IN THE VEHICLE. I THEN GOT IT TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP THE FOLLOWING DAY AND WAS TOLD IT WAS MY ENGINE...AGAIN. THE REAR MAIN SEAL HAD BLOWN.
