GMC Complaints

I was driving and n the freeway around 70 miles and " TRAILER Brake SERVICE" message appears on the dash board screen We don't pulling nothing on that time and normally we don't use this car for pulling, the other message appears several times is very frustrating. I am the guy in charge for this vehicle.

The car consumes oil to the point there's no oil in the engine. Not a result of a leak but rather the engine is actually burning it. I've taken it to 4 dealers, all confirmed it's due to Kia's bad engine design & that there's no visible leak anywhere. The kia dealer also confirmed there is no oil level sensor but only an oil pressure sensor. According to the dealer, I don't qualify for a new engine until the check engine light turns on or the vehicle results in a fire. I have to get the oil topped off every 500 miles. I don't feel safe driving this vehicle. The dealership also states I'm no longer covered under the warranty as I'm a 3rd owner. My coverage ends at 60,000. I was not aware of this during purchase of the vehicle back in 2020.

The contact's husband owns a 2023 GMC Terrain. The contact stated while driving from a complete stop at the traffic light, the vehicle shut off inadvertently. The contact was able to pull to the side of the road. The contact pressed the Push to Start button several times, and the vehicle restarted. The message "Reduced Engine Performance" was displayed, and the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that she was able to drive; however, the vehicle failed to exceed 15 MPH upon depressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the contact that they could not duplicate the failure. Additionally, the contact stated while reversing in the driveway, the vehicle turned off. The contact stated upon restarting the vehicle, the message "Condition Not Correct for Shift" was displayed. The contact stated that the failure recurred while driving out of the driveway on another occasion. The vehicle was taken to the dealer on each occasion; however, the dealer informed the contact that they could not duplicate the failure. The vehicle remained at the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 24,000.

The AC does not work properly. I constantly have to dial the temperature to be comfortable. I sometimes take my eye off the road to do this temperature adjustment. The GM dealer has tried various fixes but the temperature control is still a problem.

While driving, the vehicle display screen and lights start turning off and on. The warning lamp says " service trailer brake system" and the vehicle is unable to accelerate at all. Leaving me at a stand still in the middle of the road. It's a safely hazard because it happens suddenly and without warning and I am unable to move my vehicle so I'm just in the middle of the road. I haven't taken it in to the dealership yet. I looked online and there is a recall called " chassis electronic control module internal contamination" that meets the description of what's going on here, but when I called GMC they said there is no recall for my specific Vin, even though the recall is for my make model and year.

The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

I purchased this Vehicle in February of 2023, I had a problem shortly after with the oil always being low. I was adding oil to it all the time. 7 months later the engine blew. This is a very faulty problem with this engine that I am NOW finding out. This problem needs to be addressed and fixed. Now I am stuck with a vehicle that I still owe money on that will cost me 6 to 9 thousand to replace the engine.
