2015 GMC TERRAIN Complaints

SQUEALING SOUND, MOSTLY AFTER TAKING A LEFT TURN, AS IF IT WERE COMING FROM LEFT REAR TIRE AND ALSO A SOUND COMING FROM STEERING WHEEL. NOTIFIED BY ONSTAR I MAY HAVE AN ISSUE WITH BOTH ABS SYSTEM OR STABILITRAK SYSTEM. SOUND IS INTERMITTENT SO WHEN I BROUGHT TO MY MECHANIC IT DID NOT MAKE THE SOUND SO HE COULD NOT DIAGNOSE WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM- NO CHARGE. ONE DAY LATER IT STARTED AGAIN. IT SOUNDS SCARY AND I HOPE NOTHING HAPPENS IF IT IS THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THIS IS WHY I SENT THIS COMPLAINT IN. THIS IS SECOND OF TWO COMPLAINTS BECAUSE IN THE FIRST, I FORGOT TO MENTION WHERE THE NOISE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS COMING FROM.

STEERING TO THE LEFT, BUT NOT ALWAYS, THERE IS A SQUEALING NOISE. CONTINUES TO SQUEAL DRIVING STRAIGHT AND THEN STOPS. IT IS INTERMITTENT SO WHEN BROUGHT TO MY MECHANIC, HE COULDN'T RESOLVE. CHARGED ME NOTHING. DIDN'T DO IT FOR A DAY AND THEN I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FROM ONSTAR THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH MY ABS SYSTEM AND A SECOND NOTIFICATION THAT STABILITRAK SYSTEM HAD AN ISSUE. IT IS VERY LOUD AT TIMES. I ALSO HAVE A SQUEALING NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AND THAT IS INTERMITTENT ALSO.

ISSUE # 1-THE WIPER BLADES STOPPED WORKING DURING A RAIN STORM AND WERE STUCK MIDWAY ON THE WINDSHIELD RIGHT IN MY SITE LINE WHILE ON O LONG 9 HOUR TRIP. I CHECKED THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AREA AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE IN A SAFE AREA. THE TURNED ON THE WIPER CONTROL INSIDE THE CAR AND COULD HEAR THE MOTOR BUT NO VIPER MOVEMENT OCCURRED. THE CONTROL UNIT FOR THE WIPERS SEEMED TO BE INACCESSIBLE AS THERE IS A LARGE SEALED HOUSING OVER THE AREA COVERING THE WIPER MOTOR SO I WAS UNABLE TO ACCESS OR TRY TO REPAIR MYSELF. I WAITED OUT THE STORM AND RESEARCHED TO FIND THAT THE 2013 MODEL TERRAIN HAD A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE IN THE UNITED STATES AND THAT MY MODEL YEAR CAR OF 2015 HAS HAD THE SAME RECALL IN CANADA ONLY EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE SEVERAL HUNDRED REPORTED CASES IN THE US PER CONSUMER REPORTS. MY HOPE IS A RECALL FOR FULL REPAIR OF THE ISSUE WILL OCCUR IMMEDIATELY IN THE US AS THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH SHOULD THIS DEFECT NOT BE RECALLED FOR REPAIR. ISSUE #2- THE FRONT BRAKES ON MY 2015 TERRAIN WILL LIE HAVE TO REPLACED FOR THE 3RD TIME IN A 4 MONTH PERIOD. THE BREAKS SHAKE AND SHIMMY THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THEY ARE APPLIED CAUSING INEFFECTIVE BREAKING. BOTH THE BREAK PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED TWICE AND THE LEFT FROM WHEEL BEARING HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED WITH THE 2ND WHEEL BEARING NEEDING REPLACEMENT IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. THESES REPAIRS ALONE HAVE COST ME $1300. THE AUTO SHOP DID COVER THE 2ND BRAKE AND ROTOR REPAIR AND WILL FIND OUT SHORTLY IF THEY WILL COVER THE 3RD REPAIR. THIS IS ANOTHER CRUCIAL SAFETY ISSUE FOR THIS CAR THAT IS A VITAL PART OF MY DAILY COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK. MY HOPE IS YOU WILL TAKE BOTH THESE SAFETY ISSUE SERIOUS AND ISSUE RECALLS.

WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT VERY SLOW THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AND DAMAGED CAR IN FRONT THERE ARE TRACTION MARKS SHOWING THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF. BECAUSE THE CARS IN FRONT WERE HIT I PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AFTER THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN I-20W GOING 65 MPH, IN A THUNDERSTORM AND HEAVY RAIN, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST STOP. THEY WOULD NOT COME BACK ON, THEY WERE LITERALLY JUST FROZEN ACROSS MY WINDSHIELD. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD ON A VERY BUSY INTERSTATE DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR AND AVOID CARS WHICH I COULD BARELY SEE. THIS WAS EXTREMELY TERRIFYING AND MADE ME SO VERY ANXIOUS. I ALMOST WRECKED TWICE SIMPLY BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS!!!!!!! AND I SEE THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. THERE IS A RECALL IN CANADA FOR THE 2015 GMC TERRAIN FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT NOT IN THE USA ..... W H Y ????? GMC MUST DO SOMETHING NOW BEFORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED OR KILLED!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS CHECKING THE VEHICLE'S OIL LEVEL IN HIS DRIVEWAY, THE OIL PRESSURE SHOT UP FROM THE ENGINE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LYNCH GM SUPERSTORE (2300 BROWNS LAKE DR, BURLINGTON, WI 53105, (262) 763-7500) IN MAY OF 2019 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE GASKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE WAS CURRENTLY RECURRING. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 109,008.

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE FREEWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH FROM DOWNTOWN HOUSTON IN POURING RAIN. AT THE 610/225 JUNCTION THE FRONT WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. HE CHECKED THE FUSE AND THEN CHECKED THE WIPER MOTOR, WHICH HE COULD HEAR WORKING. UPON RESEARCHING HE FOUND THAT THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE PLASTIC BUSHINGS BREAKING ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION. UNFORTUNATELY YOU CAN'T REPLACE JUST THE BUSHINGS, THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED.THE PART IS $86.00 + TAX IF YOU ARE ABLE TO DO IT YOURSELF, OTHERWISE IT WILL BE OVER $300.00 AT THE DEALER.WE FEEL VERY BLESSED THAT IT WAS MY HUSBAND DRIVING AND NOT OUR DAUGHTER AS THIS WOULD PROBABLY BE A VERY DIFFERENT POST. I AM CURIOUS AS TO HOW MANY OF THE VEHICLE WRECKS IN BAD WEATHER INVOLVING GM VEHICLES WHERE SOMEONE WAS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED MAY HAVE BEEN BECAUSE THE WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. GM US NEEDS TO GET ON THE BALL AND FOLLOW CANADA'S LEAD IN ISSUING A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE KILLED.

THERE IS WATER LEAKING (POSSIBLY FROM THE AIR CONDITIONER) ONTO THE FLOORBOARD OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THIS HAS CAUSED MOLD TO FORM AND GROW IN THE CARPETING. IT IS CONSTANT AND IS GETTING WORSE.

MY SCREEN WENT TOTALLY BLACK, I HAVE NO RADIO NO BACK UP CAMERAS. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS SCREEN. THE REPLACED THE SCREEN AND THE RADIO STILL WANT COME ON NOR THE BACK UP CAMERA. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT IS THE RADIO AND THEY ARE GOING TO CHARGE ME $2000.00 TO FIX IT. MY CAR IS A 2015 GMC TERRAIN DENALI WITH 43,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS TO BE A FACTORY DEFECT FOR IT TO HAPPEN. MY CAR HAS NEVER HAD TO HAVE ANYTHING DONE TO IT EXCEPT OIL CHANGES. PLEASE HELP ME I CAN'T AFFORD THIS KIND OF MONEY. WHEN I STARTED IT ONE MORNING THAT'S WHEN THE SCREEN WAS BLACK WITH NO RADIO OR BACK UP CAMERAS.

MY VEHICLE BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND STALLED AS I DECELERATED AND APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS WITHIN A MILE OF DEALERSHIP, CALLED THEM AND TOOK IT IN. THEY ESTIMATE $1,200 FOR REPAIR. I SEARCHED KNOWN ISSUES WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY HAPPEN AGAIN WHICH COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. I DO NOT SEE ANY RECALLS BUT THERE ARE NUMEROUS ISSUES STATING THIS SAME ISSUE ON A SIMPLE SEARCH OF NONE ISSUES FOR THIS SUV.
