THE AUTOMATIC LIFT GATE WILL OPEN, REACH THE TOP AND THEN AUTOMATICALLY GO DOWN. IT WILL GO HALF WAY , POP BACK OPEN TO THE TOP THEN FULLY SHUT. IT DOES NOT READ THAT SOMETHING IS STOPPING IT FROM CLOSING. THE ENCLAVE, TRAVERSE, ACADIA AND OUTLOOK ARE CURRENTLY UNDER RECALL WITH THE SAME ISSUE BUT NOT THE TERRAIN.

MY CAR WILL STOP WHILE IM DRIVING AND I DIDNT GET THE PROPER DIGNOSTICS OF WHY IT WAS DOING THAT, THEY JUST TOLD ME TO SWITCH MY GAS TO PREMIUM. & THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON . BUT NOW MY ENGINE POWER IS IN REDUCED AND I DONT UNERDSTAND WHY EITHER. I HAVENT HAD THIS TRUCK FOR A YEAR AND ITS BEEN GIVING ME PROBLEMS SINCE I GOT IT.

IT STARTED LAST MONTH WHEN I NOTICED ANYTHING MAJOR ISSUES IT WOULD HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY CAR WOULD BOG DOWN SO I WOULD HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS TO FLOOR TO GET IT MOVING, THEN IT DID IT AGAIN THIS PAST TUESDAY ON MY WAY TO WORK IT BOG DOWN ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, I GOT TO WORK AND PARKED THE CAR THEN ON MY WAY HOME I STOPPED AT A STORE AND CHECKED MY OIL LEVEL AND THE DIP STICK WAS BONE DRY SO I PUT 2 QUARTS OF OIL IN TO GET ME HOME RAN FINE ALL THE WAY HOME UNTIL I PULLED IN TO DRIVE WAY AND MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF THE NEXT MORNING I NOTICED A GOT AMOUNT OF OIL UNDER MY CAR. THEN I CHECKED MY OIL AGAIN AND THE DIP STICK WAS BONE DRY AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 20 MPH AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND HAD TO RESTART THE VEHICLE SIX TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VESTAL BUICK GMC (900 NC-66, KERNERSVILLE, NC 27284, (336) 996-5780) AND THE CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED.

WE PURCHASED A 2011 GMC TERRAIN MAY 29TH 2018 USED WITH 70000 MILES FROM THE HAZLETON NISSAN FROM THE HAZLETON AUTO MALL HERE IN PA. IT NOW HAS 78000. HAD TWO OIL CHANGES DONE ALREADY. THERE IS DEFINITELY A EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AS I JUST GOT A OIL CHANGE HUT THE 50 PERCENT OIL LIFE AND HAVING ISSUES AGAIN. WE HAVE CONTACTED HAZLETON NISSAN FOUND OUT THEY WERE CLOSING AFTER SIGNING A " SET FOR LIFE" CONTRACT WHICH HAD A POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. NOW I CANNOT USE MY WARRANTY.ANYWAY I WAS DRIVING HOME TONIGHT FROM WORK ON INTERSTATE 81 WHEN THE CAR WITHOUT WARNING JUST CUT OFF AND LOST ALL POWER. HE GOT IT TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT. AFTER IT STARTED HE BROUGHT IT TO A GAS STATION WHERE IT HAD STALLED AGAIN. GOT IT ALMOST HOME AND STALLED AGAIN. GOD FORBID MY CHILDREN WERE IN THIS CAR WHEN THIS CAR DECIDED TO CUT OFF AND HE HAD NO BRAKES NO STEERING NOTHING. NISSAN IN HAZLETON WAS AWARE OF THIS AND I CAN'T EVEN USE MY WARRANTY THAT THEY SIGNED AND I SIGNED. I WAS PROMISED SOMETHING THAT I CANNOT USE. GMC HAD A CALL FROM US AROUND 73000 MILES AND I TOLD THEM IT WAS CLICKING AND STALLING. THEY WOULDN'T TOUCH IT BC NISSAN IS THE ONE WHO SOLD IT TO ME AND THE CONTRACT WAS WITH THEM, BUT THEY ARE NO LONGER OPEN SO WHAT DO I DO NOW? I CANNOT AFFORD A HUGE FIX HENCE WHY I GOT THIS CAR BC THE WARRANTY AND I WOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING IF IT FELL UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WHICH IT IS. IF I NEEDED A NEW MOTOR I WOULD GET ONE FOR FREE SEE WHAT I AM SAYING? SOMEONE COULD SERIOUSLY GET HURT OR EVEN DIE AND THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME? KEPT UP WITH ALL OIL CHANGES ALSO. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE FIXED. I FEAR FOR MY WIFE AND CHILDREN AS THEY ALWAYS ARE USING THIS CAR.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I PURCHASED A 2011 TERRAIN NOT KNOWING THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHT JUST STARTED TAPPING IN THE ENGINE. NOTICED A KNOCKING/RATTLING IN ENGINE WHILE ACCELERATING AT SLOW SPEEDS, ON BOARD COMPUTER STATED REMAINING OIL LIVE WAS OVER 51%, HOWEVER NO OIL REGISTERED ON DIPSTICK. ADD OIL AND NOISE STOPPED. I ONLY DISCOVERED BECAUSE I STARTED TO HEAR A STRANGER NOISE WHEN I WAS STOPPED WITH THE CAR RUNNING.

MY 2011 GMC TERRAIN HIT A VEHICLE IN FRONT, CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE (THE VEHICLE IS TOTALED OUT) AND NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. MY VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH NORTHBOUND IN THE #3 LANE OF THE 41 FREEWAY, SOUTH OF THE SHAW EXIT. IMPACT WAS ESTIMATED TO BE BETWEEN 20 TO 30 MPH. THE DRIVER, MY 18 YEAR GRAND-DAUGHTER HIT HER HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND HER LEFT WRIST WAS INJURED HOLDING ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE 18 YEAR OLD FEMALE RIGHT FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SUFFERED AN ANKLE INJURY. WHY DID THE AIR BAGS FAIL TO DEPLOY, WITH A STRAIGHT ON FRONT END COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT?! UNACCEPTABLE!!!
