EXTERIOR LIGHTING ISSUES. REAR RUNNING LIGHTS NOT WORKING. REAR BREAK LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING. RIGHT SIDE BLINKER NOT WORKING IN FRONT HEAD LAMP OR REAR LIGHTING FIXTURE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS HOOKED TO THE COMPUTER AT A GM DEALERSHIP THE COMPUTER WILL NOT SHOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I CAN NOT SAFETY DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT DUE TO NO LIGHTS IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE NOR DURING THE DAY WITHOUT BREAK LIGHTS.

SMELT SOMETHING BURNING WHILE DRIVING. CAR STARTED BUCKING AND JERKING. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND NOTICED A PUDDLE OF OIL LEAKING OUT UNDERNEATH MY CAR. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY NOTIFICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME PVC FROZE UP AND BLEW OUT REAR MAIN SEAL. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US THIS YEAR. WE OWN ANOTHER GMC (2013 EQUINOX) AND THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED 2 WEEKS EARLIER WITH IT. FRUSTRATING THAT GMC IS AWARE OF THIS DEFECT WITH THEIR ENGINES AND NOT WILLING TO ISSUE A RECALL TO CORRECT IT. WE HAD TO PAY $2500 TO FIX THE EQUINOX. LUCKILY THE TERRAIN IS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY BUT WITH BOTH CARS WE WERE OUT OF A VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL DAYS. WILL IT HAPPEN AGAIN???

WHEN I FIRST GOT THE TRUCK THE BRAKES OPERATED PERFECTLY FINE AFTER ABOUT THREE DAYS THE BRAKES ON THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK WOULD LOCK UP WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. AFTER TWO SETS OF CALIPERS TWO SETS OF BRAKE PADS A SET OF ROTORS A TWO WEEKS GO BY WITH THE MECHANIC TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK. THEY THEN REPLACE THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER, THERE WAS NO IMPROVEMENT. TURNS OUT TO BE THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAD FAILED ALONG WITH THE HYDRAULIC ABS CONTROL UNIT. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON WHATSOEVER THE WHOLE ENTIRE TIME THE BRAKES WERE LOCKED UP THE ABS LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON UNTIL THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED INDICATING THAT THE ABS CONTROL UNIT WAS ALSO BAD. NOW I AM EXPERIENCING A TICKING COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE TICKING OCCURS AT IDLE END AS THE THROTTLE IS BEING ACTIVATED. HOWEVER THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS REFUSED TO GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION AS OF WHY IT COULD BE MAKING THIS TICKING NOISE OR IS JUST UNWILLING TO SAY ANYTHING .
