2015 GMC TERRAIN Complaints

IN 2 DAYS, THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON ME. I WAS IN THE PARKING LOT AND ANOTHER CAR ALMOST HIT ME SINCE THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND THE STEERING WHEEL GOT HARD THEN SHUT OFF. TODAY, I ALMOST GOT HIT AGAIN AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN GOING INTO A TURN I ALMOST HIT SOMEONE AND A CAR ALMOST HIT ME.

I OPENED MY REAR POWERED LIFT GATE TO GET OUT MY GROCERIES,AND WHEN IT REACHED THE TOP POSITION,IT IMMEDIATELY REVERSED DIRECTION AND RAPIDLY CLOSED ABOUT HALF WAY DOWN AND THEN REVERSED AGAIN AND RETURNED TO THE FULL OPEN POSITION,THEN REVERSED AGAIN AND CLOSED ALL THE WAY. THIS ALL HAPPENED VERY FAST AND I ALMOST BUMPED MT HEAD, GETTING OUT OF THE WAY. NONE OF THE SAFETY CONTROLS SEEMED TO WORK TO PREVENT ENTRAPMENT,WHEN THE LIFT GATE STARTED TO CLOSE DOWN ON ME.THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS HEAD/NECK INJURY ,AND THIS COULD ALSO CRASH DOWN ON A CHILD AND ENTRAP THEM. MY VEHICLE WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WAS PARKED,WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURED.

LEAVING MY PARKING SPOT AFTER GOING OUT TO EAT I WENT IN REVERSE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED AT ABOUT 5MPH, TURNED THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND THEN TURNED BACK ON. PUT IT IN DRIVE AND JUST AS I STARTED TO ACCELERATE IT STALLED. THIS HAPPENED 10-12 TIMES WHILE I WAS TRYING TO LEAVE THE PARKING LOT. VEHICLE STALLED WHILE LEAVING CAR WASH AS I WAS EXCELLERATIG OUR. VEHICLE STALLED AS I WAS LEAVING A COMPLETE STOP FROM A STOP SIGN ON A CITY STREET. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE ENGINE STALLING WHILE STARTING TO ACCELERATE. 43,000 MILES FROM FIRST OCCURRENCE CURRENTLY AT 43,300 STILL HAPPENING ON A REGULAR BASIS.

A BUSHING BROKE ON THE WIPER TRANSMISSION WHEN I NEEDED IT THE MOST SINCE IT WAS GOING TO BE RAINY FOR A FEW DAYS. I HAVE SEEN THE 2013 TERRAINS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. APPARENTLY GM DID NOT GET IT RIGHT SINCE IT HAPPENED ON MY 2015. SHOULD YOU NEED MORE SPECIFIC DETAILS WITH MY EXPERIENCE AT THE DEALER AS WELL AS GM DIRECTLY, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

THREE TIMES WHEN I WANT TO START THE CAR IT STARTS AND TURN OF AT THE TIME DRIVING BACKWARD TO GET OUT OF PARKING SPACE. ONE OF THE CASES WAS AT THE TIME I WANTED TO GO FORWARD

I WAS DRIVING YESTERDAY IN THE RAIN WHEN THE WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK. I COULD HEAR THE MOTOR, BUT THE BLADES WERE NOT MOVING. I TURNED AROUND AND THANKFULLY I WAS NOT FAR FROM HOME TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE. THE WIPER ARM LINKAGE BUSHING BROKE. IT IS A PLASTIC PART. I CANNOT BELIEVE A PLASTIC PART IS WHAT IS HOLDING THE LINKAGE TOGETHER. THIS IS DEFINITELY A POOR ASSEMBLY ON THE PART OF GM AND SAFETY HAZARD SINCE THERE IS NO WARNING OF FAILURE. WITH TODAY BEING A SUNDAY I UNABLE TO LOCATE REPAIR SHOPS IN THE AREA. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE, ITS GOING TO RAIN ALL DAY.

WHEN THE REAR POWERED LIFT GATE OPENED AND REACHED THE TOP POSITION, IT IMMEDIATELY REVERSES DIRECTION, RAPIDLY CLOSING APPROXIMATELY 30% DOWN, THEN REVERSES AGAIN AND RETURNED TO THE FULL OPEN POSITION, THEN REVERSED AGAIN AND CLOSED ALL OF THE WAY. THIS "HAMMER" ACTION HAPPENED AUTOMATICALLY. ALSO, ANY SAFETY CONTROLS TO PREVENT ENTRAPMENT OR PINCH WHEN THE LIFT GATE IS CLOSED NO LONGER WORKED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS GOING TO PUT GROCERIES AWAY AND HAD BEGUN TO ENTER THE TRUNK WHILE THE REAR GATE WAS OPENING. THE LIFT GATE THEN SLAMMED DOWN ON MY HEAD (WHICH ALMOST KNOCKED ME OFF MY FEET AND ULTIMATELY CAUSED A BUMP) RAISED BACK UP AND THEN BEGAN LOWERING AGAIN. I ATTEMPTED TO PREVENT IT FROM CLOSING DOWN ON ME AGAIN BUT COULD NOT HOLD THE WEIGHT/FORCE FOR VERY LONG. AND WHEN I LET GO IT SLAMMED CLOSED. THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS HEAD/NECK INJURY FROM THE INITIAL UNCONTROLLED REVERSAL MOTION, NOT TO MENTION A CRUSH OR ENTRAPMENT HAZARD (ESPECIALLY TO CHILDREN) WHEN THE LIFT GATE FINALLY CLOSES. NOTE: I HAVE A VIDEO FILE AVAILABLE BUT IT IS TOO LARGE TO SEND PER THE UPLOAD LIMITS STATED BELOW.

ON THE MORNING OF 1/12/18 @ 0812 I WAS IN A FRONT END COLLISION, SO FAR THE BODY SHOP SAYS MOST LIKELY IT IS TOTALED. ONSTAR DID NOT GO OFF, ALSO THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. ATTACHED IS PICTURES OF MY CAR ON THE WRECKER RIGHT AFTER THE ACCIDENT. I HAD STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, AND B/C OF THE GIANT BLIND SPOT THAT IS NOT ON ANY REVIEWS ETC. FOR THIS VEHICLE I DID NOT SEE THE MINIVAN THAT WAS HEADED WEST BOUND AND I WAS HEADED NORTH BOUND. THE ACCIDENT OCCURED ON SE 5TH AND LELIA ST. IN GUYMON OKLAHOMA. ALSO A PICTURE IS ATTACHED OF ONE OF THE INJURIES I SUSTAINED BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING AND ALSO HAD A HEAD INJURY AFTER GOING TO THE ER.

ON 1/10/18, I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK AND RECEIVED MESSAGE "ENGINE POWER REDUCED", THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND POWER WAS REDUCED TO 25 MPH. I BROUGHT THE TERRAIN INTO A MECHANIC AND HE SYNCHRONIZED THE GAS PEDAL SENSOR AND FUEL SENSOR AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT. ON 1/13/18, THE SAME THING HAPPENED EXCEPT I WAS ON A HIGHWAY AND IT WAS MUCH MORE FRIGHTENING. I BROUGHT THE TERRAIN BACK TO MY MECHANIC AND LEFT THE VEHICLE. I AM NOW WITHOUT A CAR FOR THE WEEKEND.
