2015 GMC TERRAIN Complaints

ON MAY 17TH, 2020 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING 60+ MILES PER HOUR AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE ON AS IT WAS RAINING OUTSIDE WHEN THEN JUST STOPPED WORKING. THE WIPER BLADES STAYED UP IN THE VERTICAL POSITION AND RAIN WAS BUILDING ON MY WINDSHIELD. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND DID NOT CRASH MY VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO EASILY PUSH THE BLADES DOWN HOWEVER COULD NOT DRIVE AGAIN UNTIL THE RAIN SUBSIDED AS THE WIPERS WOULD NOT TURN BACK ON. WHEN I RETURNED HOME I CHECKED THE FUSE FOR THE FRONT WIPER BLADES AND IT WAS IN TACT AND WAS NOT BLOWN. IN READING ABOUT WHAT THE ISSUE COULD BE WITH THE VEHICLE IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE IN THIS VEHICLE WITH IT BEING AN ISSUE WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE SYSTEM NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS, THANKFULLY IT WAS ONLY ME IN THE CAR BUT HAD I HAD AN ACCIDENT, IT COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY HURT OTHERS IN A CAR. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THIS HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE WHEN IT CLEARLY COULD KILL SOMEONE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 60-70 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROYAL BUICK GMC (3010 COLUMBIANA RD A, BIRMINGHAM, AL 35216) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,070. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE RUNNING ERRANDS IN LIGHT RAIN FOR MY ELDERLY PARENTS (82 AND 86), THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. SINCE THEY HALTED IN A VERTICAL POSITION, ONE BLADE INTERFERED WITH DRIVER VISIBILITY. BEING A FEW MILES FROM THE FOLK'S HOME, THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN THERE. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN HAZARDOUS IF THE RAIN WAS HEAVIER. THE FUSE AFFECTING THE FRONT WIPERS WAS NOT 'BLOWN' OR DAMAGED. EVEN WITH A NEW REPLACEMENT FUSE, THE MOTOR ACTIVATED BUT THE WIPER ARMS REMAINED STILL. SINCE I LIVE OVER 3 HOURS AWAY, I VERIFIED NO RAIN WAS PREDICTED FOR THE RETURN TRAVEL DAY DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE HESITATED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF ROADWAY.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOMNIN CADILLAC LOCATED AT (1075 SE 6TH AVE #2, HOMESTEAD, FL 33034) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT SEVERAL UNSTATED PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 46,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A LACK OF OIL IN THE ENGINE.

I PURCHASED A 2015 GMC TERRAIN FROM DEALER ON12/18/2014. AT APPROXIMATELY 700 MILES, CAR WOULD NOT START. DID NOTHING, NO GRINDING, CLICKING JUST WOULD NOT START. HAD LIGHTS, RADIO, FAN ON HEATER. CALL THORNHILL AND CAR WAS TOWED THERE, THEY COULD NOT FIND THE ISSUE. APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS LATER, ANOTHER COLD SPELL AND CAR DID THE SAME. WAS TOWED TO THORNHILL AND WAS THERE FOR SEVERAL DAYS. WOULD NOT START FOR THEM EITHER, SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. FAST FORWARD TO TODAY AND CAR IS STILL DOING THE SAME. WHEN TEMPERATURE GETS TO 10 OR BELOW, WILL NOT START.

FOR THE SECOND TIME THE WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE HAS BROKEN LEAVING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS INOPERABLE AND THE VEHICLE UNABLE TO DRIVE IN ANY SORT OF ADVERSE CONDITIONS. ALONG WITH MISSED WORK AND REPAIR PARTS IT HAS ALREADY COST ME NEARLY A THOUSAND DOLLARS.

I HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH MY CAR THE DEALERSHIP TO ME MY COIL IGNITION HAS A CRACK IN IT AND THE IS A LOT CARBON BUILD UP. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR IN APRIL OF 2019 & I WAS TOLD BY CAR-FAX THE CAR HAD A 165 POINT INPECTION DONE ON IT

WHILE DRIVING THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOP WORKING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT DURING PERIODS OF INTENSE RAINFALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON TWO OCCASIONS. ONCE AT NIGHT DURING HEAVY RAINFALL WITH THE WIPERS AT A HIGH CONTINUOUS SETTING ON A TOWNSHIP ROAD WITH NO LINES. ON THE OTHER OCCASION I WAS DRIVING ON A DIVIDED HIGHWAY DURING DAYTIMEWITH LIGHT RAINFALL WITH THE WIPERS ON THE INTERMITTENT SETTING. THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM IN WHICH A PLASTIC GROMMET DEFORMS ALLOWING IT TO FALL FROM A STEEL BALL WHICH IS PART OF THE LINK WHICH CONNECTS THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR TO THE 'TRANSMISSION' THAT POWERS BOTH WIPERS.

THE MANIFOLD AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS CRACKED AND EMITTING HAZARDOUS CARBON MONOXIDE INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE CAR. FOR CLOSE TO 2 MONTHS MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN DRIVING THE CAR LIKE THIS AND WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO 2 MECHANICS AND FINALLY FOUND THE CRACKS. MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN GETTING SICK FROM THE CARBON MONOXIDE. IT IS A BLESSING HE IS STILL ALIVE. ACCORDING TO ONLINE GOOGLE SEARCHES THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE IN THIS VEHICLE. THE SMELL IS STRONG ESPECIALLY WHEN HE USES THE REMOTE STARTER AND WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND STATIONARY.
