2014 GMC TERRAIN Complaints

WIPER TRANSMISSION BALL SOCKET FAILURE. DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN AND IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO WRECK. THIS HAS BEEN RECALLED IN CANADA BUT NOT IN THE USA. IT IS THE SAME PART AND THE TERRAINS ARE ALL MADE IN CANADA....RIDICULOUS!!!1

ON NOV 03, 2017 AROUND 7:45AM, MY SON AND I GOT IN THE CAR TO DROP HIM OFF TO SCHOOL WHEN WE BARELY LEFT OUR HOUSE MAYBE 5 HOUSES AWAY WHEN ALL SUDDEN THE NOISE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON MY DASHBOARD. I TOOK SOME PICTURES AND TURN THE ENGINE OF.

THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE DOESN'T STAY CONNECTED TO THE VEHICLE DURING REFUELING. FUEL SPILLS ON THE GROUND OR ON YOUR PERSON AND RISK OF SPARK WHEN THE PUMP NOZZLE HITS THE GROUND IN A PUDDLE OF GAS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH IN HEAVY RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED OPERATING. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAIT UNTIL THE RAIN STOPPED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIPER/WASHER TRANSMISSION ARM WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO AN UNKNOWN LOCAL CHEVROLET/GMC DEALER LOCATED IN THELMA, TEXAS, BUT IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BECAUSE THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

DRIVING OUT OF STATE ON A HIGHWAY IN A RAIN STORM MY WIPERS QUIT WORKING. I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE DOING 70MPH, HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY ,WHEN THE RAIN LET UP I GOT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY FIXED IT AND CHARGED ME 450.00. THEY HAD SAID THERE WAS NOT A RECALL AND I HAD A PARTIAL EXTENDED WARRANTY .SO WHEN I GOT BACK FROM MY TRIP I LOOKED INTO THE RECALL INFO AND CERTIAN CARS WERE RECALLED (NOT MINE) FOR THE SAME ISSUE, CANADA RECALLED ALL YEARS FOR THIS ISSUE AND MY CAR WAS MFD BY GM OF CANADA. THEY TOLD ME MY MILES (67000) MADE IT OUT OF WARRANTY THIS IS NOT A SERVICEABLE PART AND I DID NOT HAVE MY WIPERS ON FOR 67000 MILES! MYSELF OR MY YOUNG SON COULD OF BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN KILLED AND GM IS GIVING ME A RUN AROUND ABOUT REFUNDING ME THE 450.00 , I THINK I AM BEING REASONABLE FOR MY REQUEST? THE PART NUMBER FOR THE PART REPLACED IS 84241847 WIPER TRANSMISSION MODULE

WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE POURING RAIN WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS OPERATING, BOTH FRONT WIPERS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING OUT OF NOWHERE. LUCKILY IT WAS 5:45 AM ON MY WAY TO WORK WITH NOT MANY CARS AROUND. I THREW ON MY HAZARDS AND PULLED OVER UNTIL THE RAIN CLEARED. I CHECKED THE FUSE AND IT WAS FINE, RESTARTED MY CAR TO SEE IF THEY WOULD WORK, BUT NO LUCK. COME TO FIND OUT THERE IS A RECALL THAT WAS JUST ISSUED BUT ONLY FOR 2013 GMC TERRAINS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR OTHER YEARS OF THE TERRAIN AS WELL.

IN MID-APRIL, MY AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT/NOTIFICATION BEGAN COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. I CONTACTED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT **** AUTO GROUP TO DETERMINE IF THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE. THEY INDICATED THIS WAS NOT A COMMON ISSUE AND WERE CONCERNED AN AIRBAG WOULD NOT PROPERLY DEPLOY IF I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION ON APRIL 14TH AND THEY INDICATED THERE WAS AN AIRBAG CONNECTOR ISSUE UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT (PAPERWORK INDICATES DRIVER SEAT). THE ADVISOR SAID THIS WAS A SIMPLE REPAIR AND THE TECHNICIAN FIXED IT THAT SAME DAY. OVER THAT WEEKEND THE AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON MORE FREQUENTLY AND STAYED ON FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON APRIL 17TH. THE DIAGNOSIS THIS TIME WAS MORE IN DEPTH; THE ADVISOR INDICATED THERE WAS AN AIRBAG HIGH RESISTANCE READING ON THE DRIVER SEAT SIDE AIRBAG. HE STATED THAT I NEEDED THE FOLLOWING PARTS: WIRING HARNESS AND DRIVER'S SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG INFLATOR, TO FIX THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC TERRAIN. UPON ATTEMPTING TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, THE KEY BECAME STUCK IN THE IGNITION. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO REMOVE THE KEY. THE CONTACT SPOKE TO THE DEALER (GILLAND CHEVROLET GMC 3071 SOUTH US HWY 231, OZARK, AL 36360) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS LIKELY AT FAULT FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

WHEN VEHICLE IS IN HOT HUMID CLIMATES. APPROX 80-100F. IT IDLES WEIRD. IT WILL CONTINUITY FIGHT ITSELF. DROPS DOWN TO 700 RPM THEN BACK UP TO CLOSE 100 AND REPEATS. EVEN WORSE WITH ECO MODE TURNED ON. BAD PROGRAMMING IT SEEMS. SOMETIMES IT SEEMS LIKE IT ALMOST STALLS.

NOTHING WORKS ANYMORE. THE SOUND THAT CONTROLS ONSTAR, SEATBELT, BLINKER, TURNING SIGNAL, CHIME, AND OTHER NOTIFICATIONS.
