2012 GMC TERRAIN Complaints

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP AND HAVE TO RESTART IN ORDER TO ACCELERATE. THAT WAS LOOKED AT AND 'FIXED' AND NOW THE VEHICLE SHAKES WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND HEADLIGHTS DIM AS IF IT IS TRYING NOT TO SHUT OFF. ENGINE IS VERY ROUGH AND RATTLES WHILE STARTING TO ACCELERATE AND ACCELERATING. WHEN BRAKES ARE PUSHED THE CAR STARTS TO TURN OFF WHILE IN MOTION. WHEN STOPPED, CAR SHAKES AND THERE IS A VERY HARD KNOCKING COMING FROM THE ENGINE.

MY TERRAIN IS STALLING REALLY BAD SOME DAYS AND SOMETIMES NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. IT DOES IT MORE WHEN GOING INTO REVERSE, I HAVE TO KEEP GIVING GAS TO GET BACKED UP. IT HAS ALSO DIED ON ME WHEN I SLOW TO A STOP LIKE AT A LIGHT. THIS IS REALLY FRUSTRATING!!

ON OCTOBER 31, 2019 MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED ON MY VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING IN A DOWNPOUR OF RAIN DOING 45 MPH, THERE WERE VEHICLES AROUND ME BUT THANKFULLY NOT BEHIND ME AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP WITHOUT BEING HIT. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE FACT THAT I AM AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY ABOUT 2 BLOCKS FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND PARKED MY VEHICLE THERE WHILE THE OWNER GAVE ME A RIDE HOME. I SPENT $318 ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR TRANSMISSION. CANADA RECALLED THIS EXACT SAME VEHICLE SO WHY HASN'T THE U. S. I ALSO REPORTED THIS TO GMC.

EMISSION CONTROL HAS WENT OUT TWICE WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF BEING FIXED. CAM SHAFT BOTH SIDES HAD TO BE REPLACED. 4 TIMES WITH 6 MONTHS THE FUEL LIGHT HAS CAME ON STATING THE CAP NEEDS REPAIRED, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS REPLACED. ALTERNATOR, BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED OCTOBER 2019, WHILE IN ANOTHER SATE. ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN FEB. 2019. ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE BECAUSE OF PREVIOUS RIGHT SIDE DAMAGE. THROTTLE HAS WENT OUT, WHILE DRIVING 65 ON HIGHWAYS. STABILITY CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. CRANKSHAFT WAS REPLACED. EXHAUST LEAK. BODY CONTROL SHORT, JERKING WHILE DRIVING, TIMING WARNING

WHILE DRIVING, THERE IS A RANDOM DING. NO IDIOT LIGHTS COME ON THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER A MONTH. TODAY I HAPPENED TO LOOK UP AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WAS FLASHING. AS IF STATING THERE WAS SOMEONE IN THE SEAT. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP IT IS TO HAVE THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT BUCKLED WHILE DRIVING. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING. IT IS VERY DISTURBING BECAUSE I AM NOT SURE IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT IF MY PASSENGER WILL BE SAFE.

I RECEIVED AN OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP, WITHIN LESS THAN A THOUSAND MILES I CHECKED MY OIL AND IT WAS COMPLETLY DRY,NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK AT ALL. I ADDED 2 QUARTS OF OIL DURING THAT WEEKEND AND THEN WENT TO DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. WHEN I WENT TO DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME MY OIL WAS ABOUT .5 QUART OVERFILLED AFTER HAVING AN OIL CHANGE 1000 MILES PRIOR, ADDING 2 QUARTS OF OIL ADDITIONALLY AND ONLY RETURNING TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT A DAY LATER. SO LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD TO DRIVE 1000 MILES THEN RETURN TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT. AFTER 1000 MILES UNRETURNED AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME MY OIL WAS TOO LOW. THEY THEN TOLD ME TO DRIVE ANOTHER 1000 MILES AND RETURN ONCE AGAIN FOR ANOTHER CHECK AT WHICH TIME THEY AGAIN FILLED MY OIL TO THE RECOMMENDED AMOUNT. I'M ONLY ST ABOUT 500 MILES INTO THE 2ND CHECK AFTER DRIVING 1000 MILES AND I CHECKED MY OIL AT HOME THIS WEEKEND AND IT'S ALREADY LOW. VERY FRUSTRATED BECAUSE IF I WASNT CHECKING IT, AND I WAS DOING WHAT INWAS SUPPOSED TO BY GETTING OIL CHANGES THEN IT SEEMS LIKE IN LESS THAN 500 I'D BE LOW AND LIKELY BLOW MY ENGINE IF I CONTINUE DRIVING NOT WORRYING ABOUT CHECKING CAUSE I SHOULD HAVE PLENTY OF OIL GIVEN I HAD RECENTLY HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS WELL WITHIN THE LIMITS BEFORE NEEDING TO RETURN FOR MY NEXT SERVICE. DURING THE FIRST WAITING PERIOD TO DRIVE 1000 MILES MY CAR STARTED KNOCKING IN THE ENGINE, WAS JUST DIEING WHEN I WOULD TAKE MY FOOT OFF BREAK TO ACCELERATE AND OVERALL WAS RUNNING VERY ROUGH. RECENTLY WAS TOLD SOME OF THE CODES THAT WERE COMING UP WHEN I HAD IT HOOKED UP FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON, THAT THE CODES COULD BE RELATED TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION AND PROBLEMS IT WAS CAUSING FOR REST OF CAR.

USING A LOT OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. ADDED OIL AS NEEDED BUT NOW APPEARS TO BE USING MORE. 3,000 MILES 2 QUARTS DOWN. ABOUT 112,000 MILES OWNED SINCE NEW

OIL CONSUMPTION IS OUT OF CONTROL! WHEN I BOUGHT THE SUV USED AT 63K I COULD HEAR WITHIN 65K I NEED OIL JUST FROM THE SOUND OF THE ENGINE. I BOUGHT A 5 QT AT WAL-MART BECAUSE THERE WAS LESS THAN A QUART ON THE STICK. I GOT AND OIL CHANGE PRIOR ON 8-13-19 MECHANIC SHOWED I WAS LOW ALREADY AT 66K AND WASN'T DUE FOR ANOTHER TILL 72,780 I'M AT 72K AND ENGINE NEEDS OIL! HOPE THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ABIDES TO MY COMPLAINT.

TRANSFER CASE WENT AT 67K JUST BOUGHT IT USED AT 63K. I HAD NO WARRANTY ONLY 60 DAY FROM USED DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM. RUINED MY PASSENGER SIDE AXEL ALSO WHEN TRANSFER CASE WENT $1137 WAS THE BILL. 500 FOR USED CASE 16K 170 FOR AXEL 30 FOR FLUID REST IN LABOR. SHOULD BE A RECALL CAR SOUNDED AWFUL BACK UP AND IN DRIVE LOSS A BIT OF POWER WHEN DRIVING. ALSO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND THEN RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 101,000.
