2015 GMC TERRAIN Complaints

FOR THE FOURTH TIME MY WIPERS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE HIGHWAY IN A RAINSTORM. THE ARM BAR HAS POPPED OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. THE JOINTS THAT CLIP INTO THE WIPERS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE EVERY 3 MONTHS FOR THE PAST YEAR. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

TAKATA, INTAKE TIMING CAMSHAFT SENSOR, LOCKING UP, OR STOPPED WORKING. WAS IN MOTION, CITY STREETS AND BIG PROBLEM WHEN BACKING UP OR TURNING. STOPS IN TRAFFIC

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING, SLEETING. TURNED THE WIPERS ON, THEY WENT UP AND STOPPED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDOW. I HAD TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE WIPERS DOWN TO OBTAIN VISIBILITY

WE HAVE A 2015 GMC TERRAIN THAT HAS 43000 MILES ON IT AND GOT IT IN MAY OF 2018. ON FRIDAY JANUARY 4TH MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR TERRAIN ON INTERSTATE 485 IN CHARLOTTE AT MORNING RUSH HOUR HEADED TO WORK. SHE WAS IN THE LEFT LANE ON THE HIGH TRAVELING ABOUT 65 MPH IN A STEADY DOWNPOUR WITH VEHICLES BESIDE HER. AT THAT TIME SHE HAD THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS GOING WHEN ALL THE SUDDEN WITH OUT WARNING THEY FROZE IN POSITION AND STOPPED WORKING. SHE WAS UNABLE TO WIPE THE WINDSHIELD MAKING IT ALMOST POSSIBLE TO SEE. LUCKILY SHE DID NOT HAVE ANY CARS BEHIND HER AND SHE WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH AND TURN ON THE 4 WAYS AND RIDE THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY TO COME TO A STOP. SHE THEN CALLED ME AND TOLD ME WHAT HAPPENED WHILE TALKING TO ME THE RAIN SUBSIDED ENOUGH THAT SHE WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE RIGHT LANE AND OFF TO THE EXIT ABOUT 2 MILES UP. SHE GOT OFF THERE AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO WORK. IT STOPPED RAINING THAT DAY AND WAS CLEAR AND I RESEARCHED ON WHT MAY HAVE HAPPENED OR ANY RECALLS. I CAME ACROSS STORIES OF THE WIPER BLADE FAILURE IN THE 2013 GMC TERRAIN 2014 AND 2015 ALL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. GMC HAS RECALLED THE ISSUE ON THE 2013 IN THE UNITED STATES AND THE 2015 MODEL IN CANADA BUT NOT THE USA. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH OUR GMC DEALERSHIP THAT MONDAY AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT ON THAT TUESDAY MORNING. WE DROPPED IT OFF AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO RUN A PROGNOSTIC TEST EVEN THOUGH I TOLD THEM WHAT WAS WRONG AND WHAT I WAS ALMOST POSITIVE WAS WRONG. LATER THAT DAY THE TECHNICIAN CALLED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE WIPER TRANSMISSION BROKE AT THE END OF THE SHAFT AND THAT THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE WIPER TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY. FROM READING ABOUT THE RECALL AND THE SAME COMPLAINTS WITH THE 2015 TERRAIN I BELIEVED THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO THE 2015 VEHICLES AS WELL.

AFTER COMING TO A STOP AND TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD THE VEHICLE STALLED THIS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES AND WOULD ALSO STALLED WHEN IN REVERSE. THERE IS ONLY 47000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND IS DRIVEN BOTH HIGHWAY AND CITY. VEHICLE WOULD ONLY STALLED AFTER COMING TO A STOP OR DRIVING UNDER 5 MPH. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND STAYS ON FOR A FEW DAYS THEN GOES AWAY. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE NOV 22, 2018.

2015 GMC TERRAIN WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECAME INOPERATIVE ON DECEMBER 31, 2018 WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET DURING HEAVY RAIN. WIPERS WERE SET ON REGULAR SPEED WHEN THEY FAILED. UPON INSPECTION THE WIPER ARMS FEEL TOTALLY DISCONNECTED FROM THE WIPER MOTOR. *DT*JB

THE CAR KEEPS STALLING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE IN REVERSE OR DRIVE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. THIS IS PROBLEM AS I AM READING UP ON THIS SO I BELIEVE THERE IS SOME KIND OF RECALL THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN. THIS IS [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER AN 3 DAYS AFTER OIL CHANGE AND BEGIN TO CUT OFF WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE. I TOOK IT TO CARMAX AND THEY SAID IT WAS A FAULTY SENSOR WHICH WAS COVERED BY THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. CARMAX SUGGESTED I TAKE THE CAR TO A GMC DEALER FOR REPAIR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE GMC DEALER, THEY REPAIRED IT AND 1 1/2 WEEKS LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WAS CUTTING OFF AGAIN. I WENT TO THE GMC DEALER A SECOND TIME AND THEY SAID, "THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE MY CONCERNS, THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR, THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON AND THE CAR WAS DRIVEN FOR 10 MINUTES WITHOUT ANY ISSUES". AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR 5 DAYS, THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN AND THE CAR IS STALLING. I HAVE TO ACCELERATE OVER 10 - 20 MILES FOR THE CAR TO STAY ON. I KNOW THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG, I HAVE BEEN AFRAID TO DRIVE BECAUSE WITH THE CAR CUTS OFF ON ME AND NO ONE HAS GIVEN A REASON AS TO WHY. I DO NOT WANT TO GET HIT FROM BEHIND. I DRIVE THE HIGHWAY WITH A SMALL CHILD DAILY. I AM CONCERN THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR!!!

WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH ON HIGHWAY IN A RAIN STORM. APPARENTLY IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION WITHIN THE WIPER SYSTEM.

WIPER SYSTEM FAILED/SEIZED WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN ON 11/24/18. APPARENTLY A PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION IN WIPER SYSTEM. MILEAGE APPROXIMATELY 57,000.
