2018 GMC TERRAIN Complaints

THE CAR KEEPS REVVING AND DOESN'T SHIFT INTO GEAR. YOU HAVE TO LIFT YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL AND GIVE IT A FEW SECONDS AND THEM PRESS IT AGAIN. HOWEVER WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS AGAIN THE CAR JUMPS INTO GEAR CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO JERK EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT. IT EITHER REVS TOO HIGH OR IT FEELS LIKE IT DOWNSHIFTS. THIS LAST TIME, 9/8/20, I JUST REVERSED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ONTO MY RESIDENTIAL STREET, GOING ABOUT 18 MPH WHEN THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR. WHEN IT JERKED INTO GEAR IT JERKED THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT CAUSED ME TO HIT A PARKED CAR JUST 4 DOORS DOWN FROM MY HOUSE, CAUSING $6000 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO MY TERRAIN LIKELY TOTALING THE 2010 COROLLA I HIT. I HAVE HAD A CLEAN DRIVING RECORD FOR 30 YEARS UNTIL NOW. GMC WILL NOT OWN FAULT AND NOW MY INSURANCE WILL GO UP AS WELL FOR SOMETHING THAT REALLY WAS NOT MY FAULT.

MY 2018 GMC TERRAIN HAS MAJOR ISSUES THAT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT A WALL ON THE EXPRESSWAY DUE TO A BRAKE ASSIST ISSUE THAT OTHER OWNERS HAVE A ISSUE WITH AND GMC HAS DONE NOTHING TO HELP THE BUYERS , WHERE CAN WE THE BUYERS GET HELP WITH ISSUES GMC IS WELL AWARE OF??

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2018 GMC TERRAIN (VIN NO. [XXX]) TWO YEARS AGO. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000 MILES ON IT. ON AUGUST 6, 2020, MY HUSBAND AND I WERE TRAVELING WITH OUR 2-YEAR-OLD SON TO ATTEND AN OUT-OF-STATE FUNERAL. TRAVELING AROUND 75 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE BRAKES FAILED US. THE PEDAL BECAME ENTIRELY STIFF MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SLOW DOWN AND STOP. IT TOOK CONSIDERABLE FORCE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. REMIND YOU, I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY 2-YEAR-OLD SON. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

RADIO PLAYS RANDOM RADIO STATIONS AND WILL NOT ALLOW RADIO TO BE TURNED OFF WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF ( NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE, DOORS ARE OPENED AND THE FOB IS OVER 500 FT AWAY). RADIO SCREEN FLASHES TO A BLANK SCREEN. DOES NOT READ CONTACT INFORMATION FOR CELLPHONE CONNECTED TO VEHICLE. WILL NOT ALLOW PHONE CALLS TO BE MADE AND WILL CONTINUE TO PLAY MUSIC THROUGH RADIO AND CAR SPEAKERS WHILE PHONE IS ENGAGED IN A TELEPHONE CALL ( ONCE CALL IS ABLE TO BE PLACED). ANDROID AUTO FEATURE STOPPED WORKING. VEHICLE WILL SLIP OUT OF GEAR AND RANDOMLY PUT SELF INTO AN OVERDRIVE. VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE DESPITE GAS PETAL BEING ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND THEN WILL JUMP RAPIDLY AND ACCELERATE QUICKLY. VEHICLE SMELLS LIKE RUBBER IS BURNING UNDER THE HOOD AT VARIOUS TIMES.

I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT IN THE LEFT HAND TURN LANE. A TRUCK RAN THEIR RED LIGHT HITTING ANOTHER TRUCK SENDING BOTH OF THEM CRASHING INTO MY VEHICLE. THE FIRST TRUCK STRUCK THE FRONT BUMPER AT THE HEADLIGHT & SKID ALL THE WAY DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE THEN THE OTHER TRUCK WAS SLAMMED INTO THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. ALL THE DAMAGE WAS ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR. MY CAR WAS MOVED OVER INTO THE NEXT LANE BUT NO AIR BAGS WENT OFF. THIS HAPPENED ON A HWY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 65. THE TRUCK RUNNING THE RED LIGHT WAS GOING AT LEAST THAT FAST AND NEVER HIT THEIR BRAKES. *TR

MY 2018 TERRAIN HAS 51138 MILES. WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE MY BRAKE SYSTEM LOCKED AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP. I HAD TO COAST TO A SAFE SPEED AND PULL MY PARK BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP. BECAUSE MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY IS OUT THE DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING ME. THE VACUUM PUMP IS OUT. EVEN THE TECHNICIAN ACKNOWLEDGED THE PART WAS DEFECTIVE AND ACKNOWLEDGED IT HAPPENED REALLY EARLY ON IN MY VEHICLES MILEAGE BUT IS STILL SAYING IT IS MY COST TO REPLACE. I ASKED REPEATEDLY FOR THE PART NUMBER SO I COULD COMPARE THAT PART NUMBER TO THE PART THAT WAS RECALLED ON THE 2018 GMC TRUCKS AND THE DEALERSHIP AND GM REFUSED TO GIVE ME THE PART NUMBER. *TR

RECALL ON THE ENGINE BLOCK HEATER. THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO GET THE PART TO REPLACE. I TOOK IN OVER 6 MONTHS AGO AND STILL HAVE NOTHING.

WHEN THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG WENT OFF IT BURNED A HOLE THROUGH MY DAUGHTER'S COAT AND SHIRT CAUSING 2ND-3RD DEGREE BURNS.

THE NEW AUTO STOP THAT SHUTS OFF THE MOTOR WHEN YOU'RE AT A RED LIGHT DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. SOMETIMES IT SHUTS OFF, BUT MOST OF THE TIME IT DOESN'T BEEN TO THE DEALER TWO TIMES AND THE RADIO WILL NOT COME ON AT TIMES EVEN THOUGH GM HAS PERFORMED UPDATES ON THESE PROBLEMS. THE PROBLEMS STILL EXIST

MY CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN OUT OF NOWHERE. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHEN I WAS SLOWING FOR TRAFFIC AND WHEN I WAS IN A PARKING LOT. THE FIRST TIME I COULDN'T GET OUT OF THE CAR BECAUSE THE DOOR WOULDN'T UNLOCK. THEN THE POWER CAME ON BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER. IT HAS PUSH BUTTON GEAR SHIFTS AND WOULD NOT GO INTO NEUTRAL. I HAD TO CALL THE POLICE TO ASSIST UNTIL THE CAR WAS TOWED BECAUSE I WAS ON A VERY BUSY AND DANGEROUS STREET. I HONESTLY WAS SCARED SOMEONE WAS GOING TO SLAM INTO ME. THE SECOND TIME I WAS LOOKING FOR A PARKING SPOT AND IT STOPPED. LUCKILY I ALWAYS KEEP THE DOORS UNLOCKED SINCE FIRST INCIDENT HAD TO BE TOWED BOTH TIMES. AS OF TODAY IT IS STILL AT THE DEALER TRYING TO BE FIXED FOR A SECOND TIME. THEY 'THOUGHT' THEY FIXED IT THE FIRST TIME BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE DEALER HAS HAD MY CAR SINCE OCTOBER 17. THEY CLAIM THEY KNOW WHAT IT IS. THEY REPLACE SOME ENGINE MODULE AND ARE NOW WAITING ON A PUSH BUTTON FOR THE GEAR SHIFT.
