MY VEHICLE IS UNDER 60K MILES AND ONE DAY I WOKE UP WENT TO DRIVE IT MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY VEHICLE STARTED TO SPUTTER AND TRY TO DIE OUT WHILE DRIVING IN A SCHOOL ZONE GOING 20 MPH. THEN AFTER MAKING IT TO MY DESTINATION I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND IT DIED OUT ON ME. I STARTED IT RIGHT BACK UP IT DIED AS SOON AS IT HIT REVERSE AGAIN. FINALLY I WAS ABLE TO START IT AND COAST BACKWARDS THEN PLACE IT IN DRIVE. I HAD RECENTLY GOTTEN GAS AND THOUGHT MAYBE SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE GAS BUT IM SEEING THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR MORE PEOPLE THAN JUST ME. SO DISAPPOINTING BC IT IS A LEASE AND MY LEASE IS UP IN ONE MONTH SO NOW IM HELD LIABLE TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT I FEEL LIKE SHOULD BE A RECALL. I'VE ALWAYS STAYED UP ON MY OIL CHANGES, AND MAINTENANCE AND IM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE QUALITY OF THIS VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING THRU A ROUND ABOUT GOING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH IN TRAFFIC MY WIPER SUDDENLY STOP WITHOUT NOTICE. THIS WAS IN A HEAVY RAIN AND MY VISIBILITY WENT TO ZERO. I MANAGED TO SLOW AND PULL THE VEHICLE OVER AFTER NAVIGATING THE ROUNDABOUT. MY WIPER LINKAGE WAS CORRODED THE MOTOR WAS FUNCTIONAL AFTER INSPECTION

VEHICLE PURCHASE FROM COULTER CADILLAC TEMPE AZ - 9/1/2018. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED 3 TIMES. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGES "WE PUT YOU IN A BAD CAR". PROBLEM: VEHICLE WHILE IN MOTION (STREET/INTERSECTION/HIGHWAY), WILL JUST "SHUT DOWN" AND MOVE IN "LIMP MODE" FASHION. THE ENGINE AND STABILITY LIGHTS WILL APPEAR ON THE DASHBOARD AND ON THE MOST RECENT EVENT, ALL THE GAUGES ON THE DASHBOARD SHUT DOWN. AFTER THE SHUT DOWN,1 & 2 GEARS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. IN ORDER TO MOVE THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO REACH A SPEED BETWEEN 20 / 30 MILES AN HOUR IN ORDER FOR THE 3RD GEAR TO ENGAGE. THE LAST TIME THIS SITUATION HAPPENED WAS ON THE FREEWAY @ 65 MPH. I WAS IN THE HOV LANE WITH MY 3.5 YEAR OLD GRANDSON AND MY WIFE. ALL THE TRAFFIC @ 4:45 PM ON THE NORTHBOUND LANE OF THE AZ 17 HIGHWAY CAME TO A STOP BECAUSE OF THE RIPPLING EFFECT THIS PROBLEM CAUSED. FORTUNATE FOR US, OTHER DRIVERS ALLOWED TO US TRAVERSE TO THE OFF RAMP. THE DEALER INDICATED THE PROBLEM WAS THE BATTERY THAT BROUGHT THE CAR TO A STOP AND "LIMP MODE". THERE WERE NO BATTERY WARNING LIGHTS VISIBLE ON THE DASHBOARD TELLING ME THE BATTERY WAS IN DANGER OF FAILING AS NOTED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. ALL 3 TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED, THE DEALER HAS PROVIDED 3 DIFFERENT SOLUTIONS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN ON THIS WEB SITE NO LESS THAN 15 COMPLAINTS RAISING THIS PROBLEM TO THE NHTSA ATTENTION. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM COULTER/GMC AND THE NHTSA NEED TO TAKE ACTION TO REMOVE/RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. SEE ATTACHED EXHIBIT T / U / O.

I WAS DRIVING ON RT 1 SOUTH IN A RAIN STORM AT NIGHT, DRIVING ABOUT 50 MPH, PUT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON FULL AND THE WIPERS COMPLETELY STOPPED. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND PULL INTO A GAS STATION. I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE WIPERS BUT THE WIPERS WOULD NOT START WORKING. I COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS I COULD NOT SEE IN THE RAIN AND NEEDED TO HAVE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. AAA TOWED MY TERRAIN TO THE COLEMAN'S DEALERSHIP IN LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ AS AAA SAID IT WAS A SAFELY ISSUE SO THEY COULD NOT TOW TO A RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND MANY OTHER 2015 TERRAIN OWNERS HAD THE SAME ISSUE (CANADA HAD A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE). THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND MANIFESTS DURING POOR DRIVING CONDITIONS (HEAVY RAIN & USUALLY ON A HIGHWAY). IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT OR THERE IS A FATALITY DUE TO HAVING ZERO VISIBILITY ON A HIGHWAY IN THE RAIN.
