2020 GMC TERRAIN Complaints

WHILE STARTING VEHICLE THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN WENT BLACK AND NOTHING WOULD WORK. STAYED THIS WAY WHILE DRIVING. STOPPED TURNED OFF CAR AND STILL DIDNT WORK. WAS TOLD IT WAS THE DATA COMMUNICATIONS MODULE.

SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST MESSAGE CAME ACROSS SCREEN AFTER I WAS UNABLE TO PUSH DOWN BRAKE PEDAL.

I AM A MALE OF 6'1" HEIGHT AND FIND IT VERY HARD TO SEE OUT THE REARVIEW MIRROR WHEN I DRIVE MY WIFE'S GMC TERRAIN. BECAUSE OF THE LIMITED MOBILITY OF THE MIRROR, I AM UNABLE TO SEE OTHER CARS BEHIND MY VEHICLE WITHOUT LOWERING MY HEAD AND RECLINING MY SEAT BACKWARDS, BOTH OF WHICH CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS TO DO WHILE DRIVING. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE MIRROR ADJUSTED TO BE LONGER, OR ABLE TO BE ADJUSTED FURTHER UPWARD TO IMPROVE VISIBILITY FOR TALLER PEOPLE, LIKE MYSELF.

WHEN EVER I GO TO TURN MY STEERING WHEEL AND I GO TP PUCH IN THE GAS PEDDLE THERE IS A VIBRATION DURING MOTION.

THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE DUE TO A VIOLENT SIDE TO SIDE WOBBLE IN THE FRONT END MUCH LIKE THE JEEP DEATH WOBBLE. THIS HAPPENS CONSTANTLY ANYWHERE FROM 30MPH - 70MPH USUALLY AFTER HITTING A SMALL BUMP OR WHEN TURNING HARD. THE TURNING ASPECT IS WHERE IT HAS BECOME VERY DANGEROUS ON SLIPPERY SURFACES AS THE CAR THEN SLIDES OUT. I LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS WHERE THIS IS A NORMAL OCCURANCE. I AM ACTUALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ANY LONGER. THE DEALERS HAVE CONFIRMED THE ISSUE, BUT STATES THAT GM DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THIS AS OF NOW. I HAVE HEARD THIS IS AFFECTING ONLY THE AWD TERRAINS AND EQUINOX PLATFORMS. GM HAS BEEN UNRESPONSIVE TRYING TO GET AN ANSWER OR GETTING THIS FIXED. THE CAR HAS BEEN INTO MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE CAR TURNED ABOUT 2400 MILES AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY SINCE THEN FOR THE PAST 6000 MILES.

MY AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT/DASHBOARD MESSAGE HAS COME ON 7 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS, ALONG WITH 4 OTHER TIMES IN THE 2 MONTHS PRIOR, BUT THE GMC DEALERSHIP WILL NOT INVESTIGATE SINCE IT DOES NOT STAY ON. AT THE MOST RECENT EVENT THIS WEEKEND, I PRESSED ONSTAR, AND THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND EMAILED ME THE "B0085" DETECTED ERROR CODE, BUT MY DEALERSHIP WILL STILL NOT INVESTIGATE, SINCE THE LIGHT WENT OUT. THE LIGHT HAS COME ON AT STARTUP AND WHILE DRIVING. WARNINGS HAVE COME ON 8/27/20, 10/5, 10/8, 10/12, 111/28, 12/2, 12/8(X2), 12/11, 12/14, AND 12/19/20.

VEHICLE WAS ON 1/8 OF A TANK,I TRIED TO FILL, IT WOULD ONLY TAKE ON 5 GALLONS OF FUEL, GAS GAUGE READ FULL. REPORTED TO DEALER, THERE IS A 'BULLETIN' ON THE VEHICLE, FUEL TANK WAS REPLACED. AFTER SUCCESSFULLY FILLING TANK 3 TIMES, IT HAPPENED AGAIN, RETURNED VEHICLE TO DEALER, THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE, BROUGHT VEHICLE HOME, DEALER WAS ABLE TO FILL TANK WITH APPROX 13 GALLONS, I RAN IT TO 1/8 OF A TANK TRIED TO FILL AND IT CONTINUES TO ONLY FILL WITH 2-6 GALLONS, AND RECORD ON THE GAUGE A FULL TANK. VERY DIFFICULT TO TELL HOW MUCH FUEL IS ON BOARD. MEETING WITH GMC DISTRICT REP 11/19/2020. THEY SUGGESTED I DRIVE IT TILL IT RUNS OUT OF FUEL AS TO SEE WHAT THE GAUGE READS! REALLY? HELP PLEASE! I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE PUMPS AND DASHBOARD TO RECORD AND TIME STAMP. I NEED HELP PLEASE! THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS SEPTEMBER 28, 2020 , SECOND OCCURRENCE OCTOBER 16,2020 AND THIRD WAS NOVEMBER 15,2020. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER ON OCTOBER 16, THEY TRIED TO REPLICATE WITH NO LUCK, VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO ME NOVEMBER 11,2020! 26 DAYS LATER. HELP!

ONLY A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE I STARTED TO FEEL A WOBBLE IN THE FRONT END WHEN ACCELERATING UP HILLS AND TURNING WHILE ON THE GAS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHANGED OUT THE FRONT TIRES STATING THAT THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN FIXED. ONCE AGAIN WHILE DRIVING THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND SUGGESTED THAT I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO GO FOR A DRIVE WITH THE MECHANIC TO SHOW THEM WHAT IS HAPPENING. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT. A DAY BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALERSHIP STATING THAT AN EMPLOYEE RECENTLY PURCHASED THE SAME CAR AND THEY ARE HAVING SIMILAR DIFFICULTIES. THEY FOUND ONLINE THAT GMC WAS REQUESTING INFORMATION FROM DEALERS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THAT I NOW NEED TO WAIT FOR GMC TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. MY CAR SHAKES EVERY TIME THAT I DRIVE IT, IT'S AWFUL, AND IT ONLY HAS AROUND 6,000 MILES ON IT. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO WAIT FOR A SOLUTION. THEY ARE NOT EVEN TRYING TO FIX ANYTHING AT THIS TIME. PLEASE HELP.

TWICE WITHIN THE LAST TWO MONTHS MY ENTIRE RADIO SHUT OFF, MY SCREEN WENT BLACK AND SO DID MY GAUGES FOR AT LEAST 20 SECONDS. THEN THEY JUST CAME BACK ON AND PICKED UP WHERE IT LEFT OFF.

PURCHASED NEW 2020 GMC TERRAIN W/7MILES. LEFT DEALERSHIP ON MY WAY HOME, AND WITHIN 20 MILES, RECEIVED A MESSAGE ON DASH-> SERVICE - ESC - DISMISS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED SEVERAL TIMES, AND THE SUV SLOWED DOWN AT LEAST 10 MILES FROM 65MILES PER HOUR. AFTER ENGINE LIGHT STOPPED BLINKING, I CONTINUES HOME AROUND 30 MILES MORE WITH NO MORE PROBLEMS. CALLED MY SALES PERSON THE NEXT DAY, AND HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT ESC WAS. (ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL) HE CALLED ME BACK AND INDICTED THE VEHICLE MAY NEED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. I TOLD MY WIFE, WHY WOULD A DEALERSHIP NOT CHECK ON VEHICLE SOFTWARE UPDATES BEFORE RELEASING VEHICLES TO THE NEW OWNERS, PRIOR TO LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS CALLED, "BEING PROACTIVE." WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP AFTER PURCHASING THIS NEW SUV.
