2014 GMC TERRAIN Complaints

. IN OCTOBER 2019 MY CAR NEEDED TO HAVE EXTENSIVE WORK DONE ON ITS TIMING CHAINS, VARIABLE VALVE TIMING SOLENOIDS, INTAKE VARIABLE ENGINE VARIABLE TIMING SOLENOID, VARIABLE VALVE TIMING SPROCKET, HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR, TIMING COVER GASKET SET, VALVE COVER GASKET SET, IRIDIUM SPARK PLUGS, WATER PUMP, ENGINE OIL FILTERS, SYNTHETIC DEXOS MOTOR OIL, COOLANT. THEN IN JULY 2020 THE TIMING CHAINS COLLAPSED ON ME WHILE I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. THE ENTIRE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY TOTALED AFTER THE ENGINE COLLAPSED AND I WAS STUCK OWING 12000 DOLLARS ON A USELESS CAR.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I75 YESTERDAY OCTOBER 29TH 2020 DURING HEAVY RAIN THE WIPERS WERE ON AND WORKING, AS SOON AS I TURN THE WIPER SPEED TO A FASTER ROTATION ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE WIPERS JUST STOPPED WORKING AND WAS HARD TO SEE ANYTHING. THE NEXT MORNING I CHECKED ALL FUSES AND MOTOR, WHEN I TURN THE WIPER ON THE MOTOR STILL MADE NOISE. I TOOK THE WIPER ASSEMBLY APART AND GOT INTO THE WIPER LINKAGE AND SAW IT HAD CAME APART, I PUT IT BACK ON AND TURN ON THE WIPER AND IT CAME RIGHT OFF, LOOKS LIKE THE LINK AND BUSHING IS RUSTED AND NEEDS REPLACED. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S A PRETTY COMMON WITH THE TERRAINS AND EQUINOX. THIS IS AN DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS AND GET IT FIX FOR ITS CUSTOMERS.

OIL IS RELEASING OR LEAKING SOMEWHERE IS BACK FLASHING WHILE DRIVING AND BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM SHUT DOWN. UNDERBELLY IS SATURATED WITH OIL. I WAS DRIVING ON MARYLAND INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 95 FROM HARFORD COUNTY TO BALTIMORE CITY, MARYLAND WHEN I LEFT THE INTERSTATE ONTO THE 6300 BLOCK OF EASTERN AVENUE WHERE I HAD TO PULL OVER AS THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DAYS AUTO BODY AT BALTIMORE STREET AND CENTRAL AVENUE IN BALTIMORE CITY, MARYLAND FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTS AND REPAIRS. VEHICLE WAS PLACED ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2020

OWN 2014 GMC TERRAIN WITH 56K MILES ON IT, HAVE HAD THE CAR TWO YEARS AND HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES. FIRST INCIDENT, WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY IN RAIN WIPERS JUST SHIFT OFF. ALMOST WRECKED TRYING PULL OFF SIDE OF THE ROAD. COST $300 FOR NEW MOTOR. 2ND ISSUE HAD TO HAVE A SENSOR REPLACED BECAUSE CAR BURNED EXCESSIVE OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES, WITH NO INDICATION OF LOW OIL. FRIED THE SENSOR. 3RD ISSUE, A REPEAT OF THE 2ND CAR WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED ON HIGHWAY, STABILTRAK LIGHT CAME ON, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SPEEDOMETER STOPPED IMMEDIATELY, I CHECKED OIL. WASN'T BONE DRY. DROVE IT STRAIGHT HOME AND WAS IN EVEN WORSE CONDITION REVERSING INTO DRIVEWAY. THE OIL EXPLODED ALL OVER DRIVEWAY, HAD IT TOWED TO PRIVATE MECHANIC. NOW I HAVE TO PUT A WHOLE NEW ENGINE IN BECAUSE GM IS NEGLIGENT WITH ISSUING RECALLS. OIL WAS LEAKING FROM RINGS ALL THE WAY OUT TO THE EXHAUST. FAULTY OIL SYSTEM AND NO WARNING FRIED MY ENGINE. STILL OWE 15,000$ IN THE CAR. THIS SHOULDN'T EVER HAPPEN ON A CAR WITH SO LOW MILES AND PROPER UPKEEP. GLAD I'M STUCK WITH 15K ON A LOAN AND A CAR THAT ISN'T RELIABLE. VERY DISAPPOINTED. *TR

MY 2014 TERRAIN 2.4 ECO TECH IS USING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I NOTICED THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL AND CLASS ACTION SUIT ABOUT THIS. THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED MY TIMING CHAIN TO NEED REPLACED. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK A COUPLE WEEKS AGO AND THE ENGINE ENTERING LOW POWER MODE NOTIFICATION CAME ON. ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. AND THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON.

WHEN I LEFT WORK YESTERDAY EVENING IT WAS DARK AND RAINING OUTSIDE, AND NATURALLY, I TURNED ON MY FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS. ABOUT FIVE MINUTES INTO MY DRIVE HOME, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, MY FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED OPERATING. I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING AHEAD OF ME, BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING PRETTY HARD AT THAT POINT AND IT WAS EXTREMELY DARK ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLES BEHIND ME WERE APPROACHING PRETTY FAST. I PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON, AND CROSSED THREE LANES TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAITED, APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, FOR THE RAIN TO STOP, BUT IT NEVER DID. I WAS ABOUT 1/2 MILE AWAY FROM MY EXIT, SO I INCHED MY WAY THERE, WHILE DRIVING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I MADE IT TO A NEARBY GAS STATION AND WAITED AN HOUR FOR THE RAIN TO DIE DOWN. I DROVE BEHIND OTHER VEHICLES, USING THEIR REAR LIGHTS AS MY VISUAL GUIDE IN ORDER TO MAKE IT HOME. MY FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS NEVER TURNED BACK ON. IT WAS A HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO FATALITIES AS A RESULT OF MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS MALFUNCTIONING.

I WAS OUT OF TOWN AND HAD GONE TO THE STORE AND WHEN I GOT BACK IN MY VEHICLE AND IT WOULD NOT START. AFTER, LETTING IT SIT FOR 4 HOURS IT FINALLY CRANKED UP. THE BATTERY AND FUSES WERE FINE. NO LIGHTS CAME IN ON MY DASH AS A WARNING THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE. A DIAGNOSTIC WAS RUN AND IT THROWED OUT NO CODES.

WHILE DRIVING ON I-75 S IN KENTUCKY DURING A TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED IN FILED GOAL POSITION MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO SEE. I HAD TO CAREFULLY PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. I TRIED REPLACING THE FUSE, TO NO AVAIL. I ATTEMPTED TO USE RAINEX TO IMPROVE VISIBILITY BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP MUCH. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE $125 TO LOOK AT MY VEHICLE. I COULD'VE BEEN KILLED ON THE HIGHWAY .THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL DUE TO THIS RECURRING ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL
