2012 GMC TERRAIN Engine Problems

1. The engine suddenly lost power while driving during evening rush hour and the vehicle would no longer accelerate. 2. Because the vehicle could not maintain speed, I was unable to keep up with traffic, creating a serious safety hazard that could have resulted in a major accident. 3. The vehicle has been inspected by an independent service center for diagnosis. 4. During the incident, the “Engine Power Reduced” warning indicator illuminated just before the loss of power occurred. 5. As the vehicle slowed and came to a complete stop at an intersection, it remained unresponsive. When the traffic light turned green, the vehicle would not accelerate at all.

The contact's uncle owns a 2012 GMC Terrain. The contact stated that while driving 34-35 MPH, the vehicle stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road and allowed the vehicle to cool down. The contact drove to the residence under 15 MPH. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the variable valve timing chain was bent, and the dealer determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

I have excessive oil consumption. I noticed the issue after getting my 3000-mile oil change. The technician said I only had 1 quart of oil, which I thought was extremely low. Every 2000 miles, my oil dipstick reports abnormally low oil levels. I am concerned that when I go on an extended road trip, I will have engine issues that will leave me and my family stranded on the side of the road. The GM technician started tracking my oil consumption. He said he was doing that to prove to GM that they owe me a new engine. I didn't understand what he meant until I saw a lawsuit my vehicle was part of.

Car burns oil bad . Got an oil change and it only took 12 days to go dry with no oil

I think the manifold on GMC Terrain need to be on a recall because mine already cracked.

It appears the timing chain is bad. The vehicle only has 84000 miles and currently the engine turns off and you just coast to a stop in the middle of driving.

The contact owns a 2012 GMC Terrain. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled with no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was able to restart; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but a diagnostic test was not performed. The contact was informed that the engine control module and the camshaft actuator solenoid were replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 191,843.

I have a 2012 GMC Terrain!! I am the 2nd owner of this vehicle purchased in 2014-2015 there is an engine oil consumption issue with this vehicle that I have to add 2 quarts of oil every week!!! I have not been notified of any recalls or any information from GM in regards to the issue!!! Took it to dealer to have it checked and got told it’ll cost me over 5000 for the repairs!!! Is GM or will GM take care of this issue

hello i'm writing this letter to inform you about my 2012 Terrian i have had nothing but problems with the motor and now the muffler system i have had all recalls done on this and GM is well aware of this problem i have a dealer ship to replace the timing in this motor and still uses oil and still have all the problems after the recalls have been fixed now they want me to pay over $3,000 to have new catalytic converters fixed on it now after paying $2800 for a new timing seems to me GM likes to fix the cheap stuff on these cars and make customers pay for the expensive parts must people can't afford this and junk the vehicle i will not i'm going to fight for what is right the dealer ship even told me when i took it back in to see what the code was for that GM is well aware of it and not worth putting the money into the car this is not right for customers to spend this kind of money GM needs to handle this.

My vehicle is 2012 GMC Terrain. Oil changes on my vehicle we kept up and i had no major issues with this vehicle. I had an oil change done about a month before i went to start my car and all the lights came on and my car would rumble and wouldn't stay started and was longer drivable. After towing it a service shop they stated the following: The timing chains are damaged, skipped teeth, metal debris found in oil and screen of intake and exhaust camshaft solenoids due to many oil leaks coming form engine and serious internal issues w/engine we recommend replacing the engine. Est cost, 11,061. I had no reason to think my car was in any trouble, as it was driving fine with no problems. I received no such recall letter or phone call and no mention from the dealership i bought the car from back in 2018 that this was an issue or that it was "taken care of" if I had i wouldn't have paid over $20,000. into my car. Reading several complaints online about this exact issue is all new to me. Knowing i could have been driving a vehicle and it could have started a fire in my engine is crazy to think. Because I may have been driving a car with a serious recall on it. I am at a loss right now, financially i am screwed.

hello i'm writing you today in concern of my 2012 chevy terrian i have had all the recalls done on this car and still have problems with the motor this car has a new timing chain in it and still uses oil the recall for the o2 sensors i have had fixed now the light is back on and now the complete system is bad from my understanding this is a well known problem with these cars when you spend that kind of money on a vehicle you wouldn't think there would be the same problem that was just fixed i'm writing you now my engine light is on again and it's the o2 sensor that i had just replaced under the recall i don't feel i should have to pay to have this known problem fixed now.

After I purchased the vehicle in 2 months I was losing oil. I continued to add oil as needed even after oil changes. About 1 year after purchase while traveling the engine just blew. Causing me to swerve out of traffic until I could find a place to stop. The result a blown engine which cost 4000 to rebuild

The contact owns a 2012 GMC Terrain. The contact stated while performing a routine check on the vehicle, the contact became aware that oil level was low, and the dip stick was dry. The contact added 2 quarts of oil however, the following day the oil level was still low. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 88,000.

The timing chain is failing on my 2012 GMC Terrain. It’s dangerous to drive and it started without warning (to me). It’s my understanding that this is a common problem with this year and model GMC vehicle as many owners are complaining about the same issue. Will GMC be notified so they can remedy this situation? Many thanks.

When I stop at the light my car shake and rocks, then the car goes into limp mode. Where the stabilitrack comes on and the engine goes into reduced mode. And I can't go over 30mps. When this happened on the freeway is the most dangerous and scary feeling ever. I've got So many new parts and put over 3,000 into the car and it still has this issue. I've been do several different mechanics and nobody can figure out what's wrong. Gm needs to look into this, it's so many forums going on for this issue.

The contact owns a 2012 GMC Terrain. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing excessive oil consumption. The contact stated that she was adding a quart of oil every two weeks. The vehicle was taken to the Nissan dealer where the vehicle was purchased. The dealer informed the contact that the engine needed to be replaced. Additionally, the contact stated while at a complete stop, there was smoke coming from underneath the hood of the vehicle. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to veer to the side of the road. The contact lifted the hood and noticed oil residue. Additionally, the contact added oil since the oil level was low. The contact stated that vehicle stalled twice while driving to a nearby gas station. The vehicle was then towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the rear master cylinder had failed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall. The manufacturer referred the contact to the dealer. The contact stated that vehicle was not drivable. The contact stated that the vehicle was leaking oil while starting the vehicle. The local Chevrolet dealer, Barlow Chevrolet (6057 Route 130 South, Delran, NJ 08075), was contacted and advised the contact to tow the vehicle to their location. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000.

The contact owns a 2012 GMC Terrain. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH, the vehicle started hesitating and then stalled. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and drove to an independent mechanic. The independent mechanic added 2-quarts of engine oil to the vehicle. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that later that evening her son notified her of an oil leak nearby the rear of the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to another independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with needing the rear main seal to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact called the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 101,000.

As I was driving on December 24, 2022, (the temperature outside was 7 degrees).I heard my vehicle making a funny sound. I pulled over to a safe location then my truck cut off by itself. I got out of my truck and noticed that oil was on the back of the rear tire wall and on the ground. I had to get it towed to a repair shop. They told me a couple days later that the PCV valve was gone and that caused the rear main seal to go bad. Several days later, I happen to see a recall on YouTube about the PCV valve that GMC had issued back in March 2015, but I never received a letter through the mail. To get this fixed it’s gonna cause me a lot of money. Unless GMC is willing to pay for it.

Gmc in Springdale, AR Refused to fix catalytic convertor after selling me a defective vehicle. They said it had expired and I never received the letter letting me know there was an issue with the vehicle.

First off before I got the car it had gone through a tune up. About a couple months after I got the car little things started to happen it would rock back and forth while idling I thought it was kind of an indicator that it needed oil but the percentage was still at a decent range and telling me it didn't need oil plus I hadent driven it 3000-5000 miles. Then engine light came on had it inspected codes ran came back telling me something about Throttle body So I purchased a whole new throttle body in Prosser at dealership costing me some booko buks and swapped it out when I got back home I then took it for test drive along with my 4 kids in the vehicle with me and then a little ways about 20 mins driving engine power reduced light came on along with stabilitrak and eventually lost power I was stranded in the middle of summer in the middle of nowhere with my kids windows rolled down ppl drove by and asked if I needed help and eventually came back with jumper cables tried to jump me but the car wouldn't budge I then left the car there overnight and took battery out to have it inspected the next day IT WAS FRIED (over 4 yrs old) so I had to purchase a new one costing me roughly 150 buks then took it back to where my car was stranded put it in and alarm went off and I clicked the button on key ring stuck it in ignition shit the door behind me locking keys in car while vehicle was still running and had to bust a window out to get to em. Got into car drove off made it back to my apt left it running outside while I went inside to get some stuff before I THOUGHT the problem was solved it shut off again.....I then had to replace the alternator costing me another pretty penny....about a couple weeks later I was starting a new job at a assisted living facility and arrived 10 mins early shit car off a noticed smoke coming from under hood I was confused because where the smoke was coming from couldn't have been it overheating I popped the hood and my car was on fire!!!!

I still have more to add to my other complaint. The fire started with alternator apparently there were crossed wires took alternator back to Orielys where I got it warrented out fixed the expanded wiring and replaced a hose and other things damaged by the little fire. Then after that things kept getting worse. Then it was spark plugs that were rusted that I replaced eventually I complained back to the dealership I got the car from and they agreed to help repair it after a posting by me on fb that I wasent a happy customer basically and that I literally had a sitting duck. Turns out the timing chain needed to be replaced and other little things. I've replaced O2 sensors camshaft sensors gaskets in catalytic converter had it inspected thinking it was a clogged exhaust the excessive oil usage was insane I would be going through 5quarts twice a month! I'm just tryna have a DECENT WORKING VEHICLE for my kids and I. I literally can't keep a job because I DONT HAVE RELIABLE transportation....I've put sooooo much money into this vehicle and now I might have a blown gasket!!! And that's because I haven't even been driving the vehicle. I got the car on Jan 7th 2021 with 129,043 miles on it as of today it has a total of 164,627 miles on it meaning in between the two years that I've owned the vehicle I have only put a total of 35,584 miles on it.....for it to have this many problems for so little mileage is INSANE!!! my kids were in the car with me today when the car started smoking like crazy from under hood and exhaust I pulled over turned the car off and took my baby off car seat in all and got away from vehicle thinking it was on fire again. I popped the hood and notice it was coming from under manifold.....meaning its probly a blown gasket after I just replaced the camshaft sensor AGAIN......it's ridiculous all the stuff thats going wrong with this vehicle with so little mileage that's been put on it.

The contact owns a 2012 GMC Terrain. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would suddenly stall. There was no warning light illuminated. Upon inspecting the vehicle, the contact discovered that there was no presence of engine oil inside the engine. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing excessive oil consumption, and he had been refilling the engine oil reservoir weekly. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the engine piston rings were faulty, causing the rapid oil consumption. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was 97,000.

secondary air pipe leaks and is not produced anymore! Vehicle can not meet emissions standards ! Vehicle uses Oil due to faulty pct system

MASSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION!! Ever si Fr the purchase of the vehicle there has been massive oil consumption leak. Taken back to the dealer for service to take care of the problem, they claim they don’t see a problem! This car has been oil leaking and also draining oil somewhere to the engine causing also power rain engine issues and also contact oil light on. Reported to GMC as well and corporate, no response! This vehicle has cut off and lost power because of oil consumption on highway with my children in the car! I have been emailing with no avail! This matter needs to be rectified immediately! It is a death trap!

My oil in my truck is depleting rapidly. It do not last 3months or 3k miles. Sometimes I'm barely 1800 miles in and I'm low on oil

The check emissions light for the engine light came up on the dashboard. Without prior warning or other signs the vehicle lost engine power in the middle of the road. The entire electrical power and engine stopped working and the brakes jammed. This causes the vehicle to become unstoppable in the middle of the road causing a safety hazard to the vehicle, driver, passengers and fellow vehicles on the road. The only way to stop the vehicle is somehow use the gears to shift to parking position, turn the engine again on and try to remove the vehicle from the middle of the road.

The contact owns a 2012 GMC Terrain. The contact stated the vehicle consumed 4-quarts of engine oil per every 3,000 miles driven. The vehicle was not taken for an oil consumption test. The contact stated that there were no visible oil leaks found. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000. The VIN was not available.

Mileage: 110,000

Vehicle stalling like the hundreds of other complaints I’ve seen that almost caused an accident when vehicle suddenly stops. Dealership only offered to do diagnostic at my cost with no guarantee they will find the problem. Nothing is registered on the vehicle computer and no check engine light.

This suv has an oil consumption and it caused it to blow the timing chain and mess my motor up.

The contact owns a 2012 GMC Terrain. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled at various speeds, and now was stalling while accelerating. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who linked the failure to excessive oil consumption. The fuel pump was replaced and oil was added. The contact stated that the failure reoccurred the following morning. The check engine and oil service warning lights were illuminated. The oil level was low. The contact stated that the oil was changed almost every 3-months. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a recall related to the failure. The vehicle had not yet been taken back to the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage 75,000.

My timing chain went out due to losing oil to quickly.

I keep the oil changed on a regular basis and every time a few days later I would have to add another quart. Finely it wouldn't stay running and i took it to the garage and the engine had what i was told plastic through out the motor. Now I am paying for a car i cant even use. aT ONE TIME i RECALLED THERE WAS AN OIL ISSUE WITH THESE MODLES AND YEAR.

I recieved a recall on the oil consuption sensor in march had the part put in at Paola Kansas Vickers Chevrolet they half assed it if you ask me they said they did not take my wheel off i asked them to check that sensor it wouldnt reset the air pressure told me it would be 140 i said not come to find out there is a recall it never came back on but it always made a terrible wheeel noice after. With in a few days it was useing a 1 to 2 quarts of oil every week i changed my oil every 3 months or 5400 miles or less sometime 3500 per my dad. Then come January it got below 0 and my oil froze up and i waited tell it was over 32 added oil and went to work with in 35 miles the light came on and said turn off engine low oil so i did put in more oil got to work on the wayhome stopped every 15 miles added oil. My stepdad who is a machanic looked at it and said the sensor was not in tight enough causing condisation cause the engine to lock up

Once again, timing chain incident, this time while driving, wasn't expecting it, suddenly my Terrain steering when became stiff to turn, and happened to realize the car motor had shut off and rolling to the right, nearly hitting parked car. I tried to start vehicle, but made a whining sound, but did not start, yet check engine light was on. I had my OBD reader handy, and got p0011, p0017 codes, which tell me it was the timing chain again in this car. This very dangerous because we could of collided with a parked vehicle, if not for me struggling so hard to steer vehicle while steering wheel was stiff.

Excessive oil consumption caused blown engine

All of these models have been prone to oil consumption issues, during the pandemic GMC of Southern pines North Carolina decided to charge us $500 for the repair because we were not able to make it on time. This is something that GMC has been avoiding and throwing its customers in a loop in order to fix. Oil consumption due to the fault of GMC can be found in our records of repair.

Just recently I took my GMC Terrain on a recall . They told me that the timing chain had to be replaced. The car only has 111,441 miles, I don't think at 111 thousand miles a timing chain should be replaced. It must be a manufacture defect . We dealing with a chain, not a timing belt.

The contact owns a 2012 GMC Terrain. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine compartment. The contact noticed that there was oil leaking onto the ground. The contact inspected under the hood and saw that there was no oil on the dipstick. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and the engine was replaced; however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of oil. The contact stated that after two oil changes, the oil was extremely black on the dipstick. The contact stated that the engine had consumed over 2 quarts of oil after 2,500 miles. The dealer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that an oil consumption test was necessary to diagnose the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 117,000.

We received a notice in the mail regarding our vehicle with our VIN #. And it mentioned our particular size engine had a recall for potential emissions part condition of degraded catalytic converter and/or oxygen sensors caused by excessive engine oil consumption affecting some vehicle from our year, make, and model. We were surprised to receive this notice because we always park in reverse and we had noticed how it was turning the curb side black coming from the tail pipe. We did receive one other notice before and took it to the dealership to have it maintenance but my honest opinion I do believe they did anything to our vehicle because it was running the same and also took it to Midas after taking it to the dealership because it ran the same. Anyhow I hope upon receiving this other notice we can actually maybe get reimbursed and actually get it fixed finally.

Over the past couple years I have become worried to even drive this vehicle. Well Taken care of and maintenance completed regularly. This vehicle has been in the shop 7 times in the past couple years but no one can tell me exactly what is going on. Only 1 place has told me that I need extensive electrical work but couldn't tell me what exactly the problem was. Issue #1: When coming to a stop, and/or idle, the engine seems to give up and vehicle shuts off. Issue #2: When started Engine sounds like a.high pitch raddle. Issue #3: Occasionally, while driving on the interstate going around 60 - 65 mph the electrical inside the vehicle will flash and everything shuts off and the emergency brake is applied automatically. This has become dangerous - if I wasn't wearing a seatbelt I could have been thrown through the windshield. Issue #4: Replace Fuel Cap Sensor comes on even though it's been replaced. Issue #5: Engine Power Reduced notification comes on even though it had a new battery and alternator. Issue #6: Occasionally Speakers sound blown and you can hear a buzzing as you accelerate. Issue #7: Stabili Track, ABS, and TPMS Sensors all come on at once and go away at once atleast 4 times a week. Issue #7: Rear Cam doesn't always work, sometime either black or static looking. Issue #8: Sometimes key sticks in ignitiin and will not turn on unless being jumped by another vehicle. Issue #9: Often upon starting the whole dash goes black and will stay that way for several hours then comes back on. I've checked all fuses and multiple mechanics can't figure it out. As time goes by without repair I'm scared to even drive this vehicle. Why can't someone figure this out!!

Says powertrain control module failure. Also oxygen sensor on the my gmc app. It keeps cutting off in the middle of road.

My vehicle has excessive oil consumption including the need for frequent oil refilling, combined with audible rattle and knocking sound.

My Terrain recently started having “excessive” engine oil use. During the last two oil changes the dipstick has not registered any oil. I took it to a GMC dealership, but they only checked oil consumption after 1000 miles and the vehicle is at 121,000 miles currently. I don’t believe it is fair for them to allow an issue of this magnitude to continue, because it wasn’t using 1 qt of oil in 1000 miles, prior to the vehicle reaching 150,000 miles. I have to keep watching the oil levels in order to not damage my engine due to a known issues with the 2012 GMC Terrain. I also have to miss work & drive 30 miles to a dealership in order to have issues documented. I feel like they are just hoping I run out of time & mileage, since the recall is for a certain amount of time.

MY HUSBAND STARTED THE TERRAIN, BACKED OUT OF GARAGE & IT DIED. IT STARTED AGAIN THEN. HE WAS DRIVING IT 10 MILES FROM OUR HOME & WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY IN THE COUNTRY, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 20 MPH EVEN AS HE PRESSED DOWN THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN HE REACHED HIS DESTINATION. HE SHUT OFF THE CAR & TRIED TO RESTART IT TO MOVE IT & IT STARTED. COUPLE DAYS LATER, IT STARTED TO MOVE IN GARAGE HOWEVER WHEN WANTING TO REMOVE IT FROM GARAGE, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. HASN'T SINCE. I WAS CKG OIL PERIODICALLY & WHEN NEEDED SO THERE WAS STILL OIL IN IT. TOWED IT TO DEALER & TOLD US THE TIMING CHAIN WAS BAD. SAME AS WHAT GMC & CHEVY 2011 & 2012 CARS ARE DEALING WITH. BAD OIL CONSUMPTION. GMC NOR OUR DEALERSHIP WHO SOLD US THIS CAR 2 YEARS AGO WILL BACK THEIR PRODUCT. THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE SOLD IS THIS CAR IN THE FIRST PLACE SINCE THERE WAS ALREADY A LAW SUIT AGAINST CHEVROLET & GMC FOR THIS PROBLEM. I STILL OWE MONEY ON THIS CAR & NO ONE WILL HELP WITH THIS DILEMMA.

ENGINE BLEW IN VEHICLE DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION FROM PISTON RING DAMAGE. CAR HAD ONLY 95K MILES. VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AT 20 MPH, BUCKED AND TURNED OFF COMPLETELY. WE NOTIFIED GM DEALERSHIP AT EVERY OIL CHANGE OF EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION. WE PUT IN A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES .A CONSUMPTION TEST WAS NEVER RECOMMENDED . WE THEN COULD NOT DO ONE AS THE ENGINE BLEW. ALSO DAMAGED EXHAUST MANIFOLD , O2 SENSORS AND CAT CONVERTER . WE HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE MANIFOLD AND SENSORS AND HAVE THE CAT CONVERTER REPAIR THIS WEEK. ALL TOLD OVER 5000$ IN DAMAGES THAT WE HAVE PAID OUT OF POCKET. THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE PISTON RINGS. SOME VEHICLES HAVE SINCE BEEN ISSUED A LETTER INDICATING THAT EMISSIONS ISSUES DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WOULD BE REPAIRED AT NO COST. OUR CAR APPARENTLY DID NOT MEET THAT CRITERIA . A LAWSUIT AGAINST GM HAS BEEN LITIGATED AND WON FOR THE EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION . WE ARE PART OF THE CLASS ACTION HOWEVER HAVE ALREADY BEEN DENIED ONCE FOR UNKNOWN REASON. WE RESUBMITTED 3 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE HEARD NOTHING. IT IS CRIMINAL THAT THESE VEHICLES HAVE NOT BEEN COMPLETELY RECALLED .

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO WHEN THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT WENT ON ON MY DASHBOARD AND IT SAID STOP ENGINE NOW WITH A VERY LOUD ALARM. I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION TO CHECK THE OIL AND I DID HAVE TO ADD ABOUT 3 QUARTS OF OIL. SO I ASSUMED THIS WOULD FIX THE ISSUE BUT WHEN I STARTED DRIVING ABOUT 1 MINUTE AFTER I STARTED DRIVING AGAIN THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT AND ALARM CAME AND IT AGAIN SAID STOP ENGINE NOW. I FINALLY GOT IT HOME AND I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT DID NOT START. I HAD IT LOOKED AT BY A FEW MECHANICS AND THEY SAID THE ENGINE WAS GONE THAT IT FAILED THE COMPRESSION TEST 3 TIME AND THE VAVLES WERE BENT . I HAD JUST GOT A OIL CHANGE ABOUT 1 MONTH PRIOR TO THIS .

WHILE BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY, THE ENGINE STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART. AFTER BEING TOWED FOR SERVICE, WE LEARNED THERE WAS ALMOST NO OIL LEFT, CAUSING THE TIMING CHAINS TO FAIL AND THE ENGINE WAS DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR. WE HAD DRIVEN THE VEHICLE LESS THAN 12 HOURS PRIOR AND THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS SUCH AS LOW OIL, CHECK ENGINE, ETC. THE VEHICLE HAS JUST UNDER 78,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN 1,200 MILES AND 2 MONTHS FROM NEEDING AN OIL CHANGE. THIS MODEL YEAR VEHICLE IS KNOWN TO BE EQUIPPED WITH FAULTY PISTON RING ASSEMBLIES WHICH LEAD TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS NO OIL PRESSURE SENSOR TO ALERT THE DRIVER TO THE LOW OIL; CONSEQUENTLY, THIS MISLEADS THE OWNER INTO OPERATING THE VEHICLE WITH INADEQUATE OIL LEVELS AND CAUSING ENGINE DAMAGE. COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE CAN OCCUR SUDDENLY, CREATING AN ENORMOUS SAFETY HAZARD; WE ARE LUCKY WE WERE NOT DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT THE TIME IT OCCURRED. GM ISSUED A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT, BUT IT WAS NOT NEARLY ADEQUATE TO COVER THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE THAT CAN AND DOES OCCUR AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT, LEAVING MANY DRIVERS STUCK WITH UNRELIABLE, UNSAFE VEHICLES OR ASTRONOMICALLY EXPENSIVE REPAIRS.

I CALLED GMC WHO TOLD ME TO GO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP BUT MY INSURANCE SAID THEY WOULD SEND ME A TOW TRUCK TO GET ME THERE. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO ROCKVILLE CENTER GMC WHICH DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE. THEY CHARGED THE BATTERY AND CLAIMED A CABLE WAS LOOSE BUT THAT DIDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. THREE YEARS AFTER THE SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE DASHBOARD WARNING STATED THE ENGINE NEEDED CHECKING. THIS TIME I TOOK IT BACK THE NEABORHOOD'S AUTOZONE WHICH RAN DIAGNOSTIC TESTS AND SUGGESTED I RETURN TO MY DEALERSHIP WITH THOSE DIAGNOSIS CODES/ISSUES. THE DEALERSHIP TOOK NOTES FROM AUTOZONE'S PRINTOUT, COMPLETED A SCAN TEST AND STATED THAT A CAMSHAFT ACTUATORS NEEDED REPLACING TO PREVENT STALLING WHILE DRIVING.

WENT TO GMC ABOUT HOW TO GET RESOLVED ON AN ISSUE THAT THEY CAUSED THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR, WHICH FIRST RESULTED IN A 1 YR ENGINE WARRANTY WHICH THEY PULLED WITH OUT MY KNOWLEDGE, THEN AFTER A COMPLAINT TO THE BBB THE BEST THEY COULD OFFER WAS A $1000 COUPON FOR A NEW CAR.

I RECEIVED AN OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP, WITHIN LESS THAN A THOUSAND MILES I CHECKED MY OIL AND IT WAS COMPLETLY DRY,NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK AT ALL. I ADDED 2 QUARTS OF OIL DURING THAT WEEKEND AND THEN WENT TO DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. WHEN I WENT TO DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME MY OIL WAS ABOUT .5 QUART OVERFILLED AFTER HAVING AN OIL CHANGE 1000 MILES PRIOR, ADDING 2 QUARTS OF OIL ADDITIONALLY AND ONLY RETURNING TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT A DAY LATER. SO LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD TO DRIVE 1000 MILES THEN RETURN TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT. AFTER 1000 MILES UNRETURNED AGAIN AND THEY TOLD ME MY OIL WAS TOO LOW. THEY THEN TOLD ME TO DRIVE ANOTHER 1000 MILES AND RETURN ONCE AGAIN FOR ANOTHER CHECK AT WHICH TIME THEY AGAIN FILLED MY OIL TO THE RECOMMENDED AMOUNT. I'M ONLY ST ABOUT 500 MILES INTO THE 2ND CHECK AFTER DRIVING 1000 MILES AND I CHECKED MY OIL AT HOME THIS WEEKEND AND IT'S ALREADY LOW. VERY FRUSTRATED BECAUSE IF I WASNT CHECKING IT, AND I WAS DOING WHAT INWAS SUPPOSED TO BY GETTING OIL CHANGES THEN IT SEEMS LIKE IN LESS THAN 500 I'D BE LOW AND LIKELY BLOW MY ENGINE IF I CONTINUE DRIVING NOT WORRYING ABOUT CHECKING CAUSE I SHOULD HAVE PLENTY OF OIL GIVEN I HAD RECENTLY HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS WELL WITHIN THE LIMITS BEFORE NEEDING TO RETURN FOR MY NEXT SERVICE. DURING THE FIRST WAITING PERIOD TO DRIVE 1000 MILES MY CAR STARTED KNOCKING IN THE ENGINE, WAS JUST DIEING WHEN I WOULD TAKE MY FOOT OFF BREAK TO ACCELERATE AND OVERALL WAS RUNNING VERY ROUGH. RECENTLY WAS TOLD SOME OF THE CODES THAT WERE COMING UP WHEN I HAD IT HOOKED UP FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON, THAT THE CODES COULD BE RELATED TO THE OIL CONSUMPTION AND PROBLEMS IT WAS CAUSING FOR REST OF CAR.

OIL INDICATOR DOES NOT ILLUMINATE, ENGINES BLOWN, FAILED CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, REAR MAIN SEALS, TIMING CHAINS AND MORE. NOT ONLY A HUGE FINANCIAL IMPACT FOR OWNERS BUT ALSO A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE TO KEEP ADDING MOTOR OIL A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER DOING OIL CHANGE.

AT 77,894 MILES, & ABOUT 3,000 MILES INTO PREVIOUS OIL CHANGE, THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH OUR CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RE-START THE ENGINE WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. PRIOR TO THIS THERE WAS NO WARNING SIGNS OF ISSUES SUCH AS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, ODD NOISE, ETC. THE CAR DID NOT ALLOW TIME FOR THE VEHICLE TO DRIFT OFF THE MAIN ROAD AND CREATED A RISK OF POTENTIAL COLLISION WITH OTHER VEHICLES. LUCKILY THIS OCCURRED IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY A FEW MINUTES EARLIER. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND UPON INSPECTION IDENTIFIED THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE CAR. THERE IS NO SIGN OF OIL LEAKAGE, AND THE OIL HAD BEEN CHANGED AND TOPPED OFF LESS THAN 3000 MILES PRIOR TO THIS. APPROX. 2 YEARS PRIOR, WE RECEIVING THE BULLETIN & TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE GMC DEALER, CORAL SPRINGS AUTO MALL TO CONDUCT A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THE SERVICE ADVISOR CHECKED THE DIPSTICK UPON MY RETURN AS INSTRUCTED 2000 MILES LATER & ADVISED IT "APPEARED" THAT MY CAR DID NOT HAVE THE ISSUE. REMEMBERING THIS INSTANCE, 2 YEARS LATER, WHILE STILL WITHIN THE SPECIAL COVERAGE WARRANTY PARAMETERS, I HAD THE CAR TOWED BACK TO CORAL SPRINGS AUTO MALL GMC FOR THE REPAIR. I AM NOW BEING TOLD BY BOTH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND GMC CUSTOMER CARE AGENT THAT SINCE I DID NOT BRING THE VEHICLE IN SOONER, THEY WILL NOT HONOR THE COVERAGE, HOWEVER THEY DO HAVE RECORD OF THE INSPECTION ON 06/06/17 BUT THE ADVISOR DID NOT UPDATE THE TICKET WITH RESULTS. I AM ALSO TOLD THAT BASED ON LOYALTY WITH THE DEALER, THEY COULD HONOR THE COVERAGE, HOWEVER SINCE I DO NOT SERVICE MY CAR THERE, I HAVE NO LOYALTY IN ORDER FOR THEM TO HONOR THE CLAIM AND REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THEY QUOTED $5,800 TO REPLACE AN ENGINE THEY KNOW TO BE FAULTY. DUE TO "LACK OF LUBRICATION" CAUSED BY EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION THE ENGINE HAS SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL DAMAGE.

ALL RESULT OF OIL CONSUMPTION AND IS A WIDELY KNOWN ISSUE AFFECTING THOUSANDS OF 2010-2013 GMC TERRAINS IN THE US BUT GMC WILL NOT HELP OR TAKE RECALL ACTION. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT IS UNDERWAY, BUT IT WON'T BE APPROVED UNTIL OCT 2019 (STATE OF FL), TWO OTHERS ON A STAY (IL AND CA) UNTIL FL IS FINALIZED. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE USED WITH A SALVAGE TITLE. THE OIL PROBLEM IS IN NO WAY CONNECTED WITH THE SALVAGE TITLE (REAR END DAMAGE, AND CERTIFIED BY STATE AS SAFE). GMC MAILED ME A SPECIAL COVERAGE LETTER DATED MAY 2017 BUT THEY WON'T HONOR IT BECAUSE I DID NOT PURCHASE FROM A GMC DEALER OR HAVE MY ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AT GMC SERVICE. IN FACT WHEN I RECEIVED THE LETTER I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS AND CONTACTED A LOCAL GMC SERVICE BUT THEY CALLED ME BACK TELLING ME THEY ARE CANCELLING THE APPOINTMENT BECAUSE WHEN THEY LOOKED UP MY VIN AND SAW IT IS A SALVAGE TITLE. I TOLD THEM I HAVE THE LETTER FROM GM DATED MAY 2017 BUT THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD NOT HAVE RECEIVED THE LETTER, THAT I DON'T QUALIFY. THE LETTER READS IN PART: "GMC IS PROVIDING OWNERS WITH ADDITIONAL PROTECTION FOR THE CONDITION, IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS WITHIN 7 YEARS AND 6 MONTHS OR 120000 MILES THE CONDITION WILL BE REPAIRED AT NO CHARGE."

AFTER OWNING THIS CAR FOR OVER 4 YEARS WE ARE JUST NOW FINDING OUT THAT GENERAL MOTORS HAS ISSUED WHAT THEY CALL SPECIAL BULLETINS ON THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM WE HAVE BEEN HAVING. WE FIRST STARTED NOTICING THE PROBLEM IN FEBRUARY OF 2018 WHEN THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING, SHAKING, AND STALLING WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR TO FIRESTONE TO HAVE THE OIL CHECKED AND THE CAR WAS SHAKING SO BAD THAT THEY REFUSED TO EVEN LOOK AT IT FOR FEAR OF BEING HELD LIABLE FOR DAMAGES. COME TO FIND OUT THAT MY CAR ONLY HAD ABOUT 1.5 QUARTS OF OIL IN IT AND AFTER THE OIL WAS CHANGED IT BEGAN RIDING SMOOTH AGAIN. HOWEVER WE NOTICED AFTER ABOUT 6 WEEKS IT WAS LOW ON OIL AGAIN. BASICALLY WE ENDED UP HAVING TO GET A OIL CHANGE EVERY 6-7 WEEKS OR AT LEAST ADD A QUART OF OIL TO THE CAR EVER 3 WEEKS. NOW WE'VE COME TO FIND OUT THAT SPECIAL BULLETINS(BULLETIN #16118 OR 14882) HAVE BEEN ISSUED ON THIS PROBLEM WITH MY TERRAIN. MY PROBLEM IS NO LETTER OR CONTACT WAS EVER SENT TO NOTIFY ME OF THIS ISSUE. MY CAR HAS BEEN TO THE LOCAL GMC DEALER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM OR THESE BULLETINS. THE PROBLEM I HAVE NOW IS AFTER READING THE BULLETIN WE'VE COME TO FIND OUT THAT MY CAR MAY BE OUT OF THE WARRANTY PHASE. I CURRENTLY HAVE 132,000 MILES ON IT AND THE TSP SAYS 7 1/2 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES. IF WE HAD BEEN MADE AWARE OF THE TSP WE WOULD HAVE SURELY TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT CHECK. BETTER YET, WHEN MY CAR WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A FUEL LINE PROBLEM OR REPAIR OF THE MOON ROOF WE WOULD HAVE EXPECTED TO BE NOTIFIED OF ANY TSP'S THEN. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT THIS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE WITH MY CAR SHOULD BE FIXED, AS IT HAD LESS THAN 120,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED OCCURRING OVER A YEAR AND 1/2 AGO AND WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED IN A TIMELY FASHION.

REAR MAIN SEAL BLOWN DUE TO CONDENSATION FREEZING IN SUCH COLD TEMPERATURES. THIS HAPPENED ON MY 10 MINUTE DRIVE HOME FROM WORK. ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF AND HASN'T BEEN RESTARTED. MECHANIC STATED THERE WERE AT LEAST 4 OTHER VEHICLES THIS WEEK WITH THE SAME ISSUE, WITHIN TWO SHOPS. A RECALL ON CERTAIN VEHICLES WAS ISSUED, BUT NOT MINE.

I ALSO HAVE A 2012 GMC TERRAIN THAT HAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE THAT HAS CAUSED COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. APPROXIMATELY 2.5 WEEKS AGO THE CAR WOULDNT START. ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT START. I THOUGHT THAT IT MIGHT BE THE FUEL PUMP. HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC SINCE IT HAS 87K MILES AND OUT OF WARRANTY. SO I WENT TO CHECK THE STATUS OF THE CAR AND THE FIRST THING I WAS TOLD WAS THERE WAS NO OIL WHEN THEY CHECKED IT. THEY ADDED 4 QUARTS BEFORE TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. MIND YOU THE OIL WAS CHANGED 3K MILES AGO AND OIL LIFE MONITOR SAID IT HAD 54% LIFE LEFT. THEY RAN THE CAR FOR CODES AND THE ONLY CODE THAT CAME UP WAS FOR THE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM, ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE TERRAIN. NO ISSUE WAS FOUND WITH FUEL PUMP OR SENSORS. SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED DUE TO THEM BEING ALL FOULED UP. THAT DIDNT FIX THE ISSUE SO IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT MUST BE THE TIMING CHAIN JUMPED. AT THAT POINT I HAD IT TOWED AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASE IT FROM. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE 125.00 TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC. FINE. SO I GET A CALL THE NEXT DAY THAT IT WAS INDEED THE TIMING CHAIN. I ASKED THE SERVICE GUY WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS AND I WAS TOLD POOR LUBRICATION OR LOW OIL PRESSURE. THATS WHEN I STARTED TO EXPLAIN THAT THE FIRST SHOP HAD TO PUT 4QTS OF OIL IN BC IT WAS BONE DRY. I ASKED ABOUT THE VIN SPECIFIC LETTER I RECEIVED LAST YEAR,2017, ABOUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE AND ISNT THAT WHY THERE WAS NO OIL AND HENCE CAUSING THE TIMING BELT TO JUMP. HE ANSWERED "NO". THEN TOLD THAT UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THE VALVES WERE BENT SO WE WERE NOW LOOKING AT 3500 TO FIX OR 6K TO REPLACE THE ENGINE WITH ANOTHER PROBLEMED ENGINE. SO THAT IS WHEN I CONTACTED THE TOLL FREE CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE ABOUT THE SITUATION. THEY TOLD ME TO GO BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND SPEAK TO THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE MANAGER.

JANURARY 7TH 2018 MY 2012 GMC TERRAIN RAN OUT OF OIL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ALREADY FIXED 6 MONTHS PRIOR FOR SPECIAL ADJUSTMENT COVERAGE 16118 WHICH HAD PISTONS, PISTON RINGS, TIMING CHAIN ETC. FIXED TO REPAIR THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE (SEE ADJUSTMENTS 14882 AND 16118. COVERAGE 14882 IS A RESULT OF FAILURE TO CORRECTLY FIX THE 16118 AND IS A DIRECT RESULT OF 14882 AND GMC STATES THEY WILL COVER ME IF THIS HAPPENS. GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS MY VIN # IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS COVERAGE. IF ITS THE SAME EXACT ISSUE FOR (MODEL/ENGINE) WHY WOULD VIN # MATTER? ON TOP OF THAT I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER (DEALERSHIP B) AS I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO LETS CALL IT DEALERSHIP A SO MANY TIMES BEFORE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. DEALERSHIP B FILLED IT WITH OIL AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. I TOLD THEM TO MAKE SURE THE ISSUE WAS FIXED. THEY SAID THEY TEST DROVE IT AND EVERYTHING IS FINE AND THEY DIDNT DO ANYTHING BUT PUT OIL IN IT AND TEST. ON THE WAY HOME JAN. 7TH THE SAME DAY THE CAR STARTING DYING ON ME, STALLING AND MAKING POPPING NOISES AND JERKING WILDLY WHICH IS WHY I BROUGHT IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. DEALERSHIP B KNOWING DEALERSHIP A "FIXED" THIS ISSUE 6 MONTHS BEFORE SO THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW FOR SURE THIS ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY COVERAGE 14882. I TOLD DEALERSHIP A THIS AND THEY SAID THEY ARE ONLY GOING WITH WHAT GMC SAYS WHICH IS THAT MY VIN # IS NOT COVERED BUT THEY WERE WILLING TO SPLIT THE COST WITH ME (ROUGHLY $850, ADMITTING PARTIAL FAULT, LOL) I SAID NO AND THEN PLEADED WITH THEM THAT I SHOULDNT PAY ANYTHING CAUSE IM COVERED. THEY ENDED THE CONVERSATION WITH THE VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE COVERAGE 16882 IS NOT RELATED IN ANY WAY TO 14882 BUT EVEN GMC AND DEALERSHIP B SAYS THEY ARE DIRECTLY RELATED. WHO IS LYING HERE? I PAY $450 A MONTH FOR A GIANT SUV THAT SITS IN MY GARAGE. GMC IS KNOWINGLY BREAKING THE LAW, HOW CAN THEY DO THIS TO SO MANY PEOPLE?

THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT IT IS NOT THEIR ISSUE AND THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. PLEASE ADD THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE TO THE RECALL CALL LIST FOR THIS ISSUE PRIOR TO PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGES OCCURRING.

AS I WAS ABOUT 10 STEPS FROM THE VEHICLE, IT BEEPED AGAIN AS IF I HIT THE FOB AND RESTARTED ITSELF. IT LITERALLY RESTARTED ITSELF. THEY KEYS WERE NOT IN THE IGNITION, THEY WERE IN MY HAND. I WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE USING THE KEY FOB AND HAD TO MANUALLY OPEN THE DOOR USING THE ACTUAL KEY IN THE DOOR LOCK. I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF BY REINSERTING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I WIGGLED THE SHIFTER AND THE CAR TURNED OFF. THIS IS THE FOURTH THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING WHILE THE KEYS WERE NOT IN THE IGNITION AND IT IS THE SECOND TIME THE VEHICLE RESTARTED ITSELF WITHOUT THE KEY BEING IN THE IGNITION. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR TO ADD THIS VEHICLE TO THE RECALL LIST? PROPERTY DAMAGE AND PERSONAL INJURY WILL EVENTUALLY OCCUR AND THEN I WILL SUE GMC FOR DAMAGES. I AM OFFICIALLY PUTTING GMC ON NOTICE. PLEASE RECALL THIS VEHICLE AND FIX THIS ISSUE.

I PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AGAIN AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I WIGGLED THE GEAR SHIFT AND IT FINALLY TURNED OFF. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2012 GMC TERRAIN FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS. IN THAT TIME HAVE HAD TO HAVE SEVERAL REPAIRS DONE. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND EVERY TIME IT DOES THE DEALERSHIP FINDS A NEW ISSUE. I WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MY ENGINE. HOWEVER, WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE WITH OUT AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND CHARGING ME EACH TIME THEY PUT IN OIL. THE VEHICLE RUNS HARD AND MAKES A LOT OF NOISE. I HAVE ALREADY PUT IN SEVERAL THOUSANDS IN REPAIRS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WOULD JUST LIKE THE VEHICLE TO RUN CORRECTLY.

THE CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR SOLENOID ON MY VEHICLE FAILED AS I WAS CROSSING AN INTERSECTION, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. FROM MY RESEARCH, THIS IS A VERY, VERY COMMON OCCURENCE IN THESE ENGINES THAT GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT SINCE 2010. IT IS THE RESULT OF A DEFECTIVE PART AND OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES. GM ISSUED A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR THE SAME EXACT PART IN THE 2011 TERRAIN MODELS, YET DID NOT ISSUE ANY RECALLS FOR THE 2012 MODELS, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE EXACT SAME PART AND THE EXACT SAME MOTOR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO LOSE POWER AT A CRITICAL TIME - WHEN THE DRIVER ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED ACCIDENTS BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURED.

I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TIMING CHAIN REPLACED. $1800. I THEN ASKED IF IT COULD HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE RECAL LETTER L RECIEIVED THAT SPECIFIED EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION.

AFTER FLUSHING IT OUT AND PUTTING NEW OIL IN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. I THEN TOOK IT BACK TO GM AND REQUESTED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT MY VEHICLE BURNED 1 QUART OF OIL AT 1000 MILES. THE VEHICLE FAILED THE CONSUMPTION TEST. THEY NOW HAVE ADVISED ME THAT THEY ARE REPLACING PISTONS, RINGS AND TIMING CHAIN. VERY FRUSTRATED THAT I WAS LIED TO ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HAVE SPENT ALOT OF MONEY OUT OF POCKET THAT WAS TOTALLY NOT NEEDED TO BE SPENT.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CONTINUALLY COMES ONE AND OFF. AT FIRST, WHEN MY HUSBAND TURNED ON THE TRUCK AND SAW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WE TOOK IT IN AND THE ERROR WAS FOR 1 COIL PACK. IT WAS FINE FOR A MONTH, THEN AFTER STARTING THE TRUCK AGAIN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND WE REPLACED ALL OF THE COIL PACKS. NOW WHEN WE START THE TRUCK, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT MAY BE ON OR OFF. AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK, WHEN WE START THE TRUCK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL BE ON. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REOCCURRING AND HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR CLOSE TO A YEAR. THE LAST 5 OR 6 TIMES WE HAD IT PUT ON THE MACHINE THERE HAVE BEEN NO ERRORS FOUND AND OUR MECHANIC'S BAFFLED. ESPECIALLY SINCE THE TRUCK MAY STUTTER OR BECOME SLUGGISH OR SHUT OFF LIKE BEFORE WHENEVER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES BACK ON. IF SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH OUR VEHICLE BUT NO ERRORS ARE FOUND WE HAVE NO CLUE IF THERE IS TRULY SOMETHING OCCURRING AND IF IT'S CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE AND HARM TO OUR FAMILY. OUR VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN CANADA AND WE AREN'T SURE IF THERE COULD BE ISSUES BEING REPORTED IN CANADA THAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT.

ON JAN 1ST IT WAS 3F OUT MY WIFE WORMED UP HER TERRAIN WE DROVE IT APPROXIMATELY 12 MILES WHEN WE STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. NEXT CAME THE ENGINE KNOCKING REALLY BAD. WE STOPPED THE TERRAIN AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOUND OUT THE REAR MAIN SEAL BLEW WITH SUCH FORCE THAT THE OIL COVERED THE MUFFLER. THIS HAPPENED FROM THE PCV BEING PLUGGED AND/OR FROZEN FROM THE COLD WEATHER. I RECENTLY FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THAT YEAR MAKE AND MODEL THAT INDICATES THAT WILL HAPPEN AND THERE IS A SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR THAT.(14882: SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT) I ALSO RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC ABOUT HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION WARRANTY. THE TERRAIN MAY EXHIBIT ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. THAT IS ALSO A PART OF THAT 14882:ADJUSTMENT NOW TO THE POINT I WAS TOLD THAT THIS ISSUE MY WIFE'S TERRAIN WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE 100K/5YEAR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY OUR TERRAIN ONLY HAS 71K MILES ON IT. BUT THE 5YEAR ARE UP. SO GM IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE ACCORDING TO BOTH SPECIAL COVERAGE THE 14882: THEY ADJUSTED TO 10 YEARS OR 120K MILES BUT THEY ARE CLAIMING EVEN THOUGH ITS FOR THAT YEAR MAKE AND MODEL AND ENGINE AND THAT EVERYTHING THAT'S LISTED IS WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR GMC ITS NOT FOR OUR TERRAIN. I TOLD THEM I ALSO HAD A LETTER THAT THEY SENT TO US STATING THE OIL CONSUMPTION THAT HAS A ADJUSTMENT OF 7YEARS 6MONTHS/120K WARRANTY WITCH WAS PART OF THAT 14882: SPECIAL COVERAGE THEY STILL WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING. I BELIEVE WE ARE GETTING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF IN THIS SITUATION. THEY ARE MAKING US PAY FOR ALL REPAIRS IT MAY NEED A NEW ENGINE IN RESULT OF THE REAR SEAL BLOWING BECAUSE IT LOST ALL THE OIL. BUT WE WOULD NOT KNOW TILL THE REPAIRS START OR AFTER ALL REPAIRS ARE MADE AND THE ENGINE SEIZES. I ALSO WAS TOLD FROM THE DEALER THAT IF WE FIX IT AND DRIVE IT DOWN THE ROAD THERE IS NO GUARANTY THAT IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.

I THEN HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE IN A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE, MY WARRANTY EXPIRED 3/2017 SO THIS WAS NOT COVERED.

AT THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT MANY OF THE PARTS THAT WOULD CAUSE THE PROBLEM WERE ON RECALL. GM HAD NOT POSTED THESE RECALLS OR NOTIFIED ME, THE OWNER. AFTER INSPECTING THE CAR THEY SAID THERE WAS TOO MUCH WRONG TO REPAIR AND THE ENTIRE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID I WOULD NEED TO DRIVE 2000 MILES TO CHECK OIL CONSUMPTION. THEY NEVER MADE US AWARE THERE MAY BE PROBLEM WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION. I AM 68 YRS OLD AND WALK WITH A WALKER. I AM IN THE HOSPITAL OFTEN. THE MECHANICS SAID THEY WOULD DRIVE THE CAR AS MUCH AS THEY THOUGHT NECESSARY TO DETERMINE OIL CONSUMPTION. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN CHARLOTTE NC THE CAR STARTED SMOKING AND CAUGHT FIRE. THE DRIVER FORCED HIS WAY OUT BUT HAD THAT BEEN ME, I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE DIED DUE TO MY HANDICAP. I HAVE NOW BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR OVER A MONTH. I HAVE CONTACTED GM BUT THEY ARE SLOW FOR ANY RESOLUTION. I ASKED FOR A LOANER VEHICLE BUT WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T DO THAT NOW.

TAKATA RECALL, I THOUGHT THAT I HAD EXCESSIVE OIL LEAKAGE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO OIL, WHEN I JUST HAD A OIL CHANGE THE DAY BEFORE, BUT IT HAD TO BE A EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION, ON MY WAY FROM WORK I HEARD A VERY LOUD NOISE FROM MY ENGINE, AND AND A POP, ON MY DASHBOARD WAS SIGNALING OIL PRESSURE IS LOW - STOP ENGINE, THROUGHOUT THE HOLD ORDEAL THERE WAS SMOKE COMING INTO THE CAR, WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GET TO CAR DEALER SHIP, I WAS CHARGED $3400.00 TO HAVE THE CAR FIX. THEN I RECEIVE A LETTER FROM GMC STATING THAT THEY WERE DOING A RECALL ON 2012 TERRAIN RELATING TO THE SAME ISSUE THAT WAS LISTED IN THE LETTER THAT WAS SENT TO ME. THEY REJECT MY REIMBURSEMENT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY SAYING THE OIL HAD TO BURNING ON THE ENGINE, AND NOT EXCESSIVE OIL LEAKAGE, WHEN IN FACT THERE WAS BURNING OIL ON MY ENGINE, WHICH I FEEL CAUSE THE SMOKE WITHIN MY VEHICLE, ALSO THE MANAGER AT MIKE ANDERSON ALSO SAID GMC REJECTED MY CLAIM DUE TO THE PART NUMBERS THEN MATCH UP TO PART NUMBERS THEY HAVE LISTED ON THE RECALL, WHEN I VIEW THE LIST, IT DID LIST DIFFERENT NUMBER BUT THE PARTS WAS THE SAME, THE CAR WAS IN MOTION I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY 294 GOING EAST TO MERRILLVILLE INDIANA, WHICH ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE A ACCIDENT IN WHICH I HAPPEN TO AVOID.

I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND HAVE RECORDS OF EVERY MAINTENANCE DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER. ON 03/31/2017, I DROVE 38 MILES TO A FURNITURE STORE WITH MY 11 MONTH OLD BABY AND WIFE. WHEN I RETURNED TO MY CAR, IT WOULD NOT START. WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON, IT CLICKS BUT NO POWER GOES TO THE ENGINE. THERE WAS NO ENGINE LIGHT ON AND NO INDICATION THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I ENDED UP TOWING IT TO A GMC DEALERSHIP. THEY DID INSPECTION AND ADVISED THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE AND HAD A CHAIN EFFECT BRAKING RODS IN THE ENGINE. THEY ALSO MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT THE ENGINE OIL BURNING. I WAS ADVISED BY THE GM DEALERS THAT THE WHOLE ENGINE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AND ADVISED MY WARRANTY EXPIRED ON 1/14/2017. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND HAVE OPENED A CASE FILE BUT I AM NOT SURE IF THEY WILL DO ANYTHING TO ASSIST ME. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND IT APPEARS MULTIPLE CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE OWNED GMC TERRAIN HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES. IF THE TIMING CHAIN BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING, IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A FATALITY AND I OR MY FAMILY MIGHT NOT BE ALIVE TODAY.

I HAVE A GMC 2012 SLT 1 WITH 2.4 CYLINDER CAR THAT I BOUGHT IN 2011. IT HAS 75K MILES NOW. RECENTLY GOT TO KNOW FROM MY DEALER THAT THERE IS A ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION AND PISTON NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND WAS REFERRED TO A SPECIAL COVERAGE INFORMATION FOR 2011 VEHICLE WITH SIMILAR ISSUE BUT NOT FOR A 2012 VEHICLE - HTTP://GM.OEMDTC.COM/3953/15285-EXCESSIVE-ENGINE-OIL-CONSUMPTION-2011-CHEVROLET-EQUINOX-GMC-TERRAIN IF MY 2012 CAR BOUGHT IN 2011 IS ALSO GIVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS CONFIRMED BY CERTIFIED GMC SERVICE DEALER, THEN WHY IS IT NOT COVERED UNDER GM'S SPECIAL COVERAGE.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION 3K MILES 2 QUARTERS OF OIL CONSUMPTION

EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION 2 QUARTERS PER EVERY 3000 MILES. VEHICLE IS NOW 71K MILES I CHANGED THE OIL 3 WEEKS AGO AND IT WAS MISSING 2.5 QUARTERS OF OIL I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR AROUND 800 MILES AFTER THE OIL CHANGE AND IS HALF WAY ON THE DEEP STICK AM AFRAID IF I KEEP DRIVING IT FOR 3 TO 4K MILES IT WILL BE VERY LOW ON OIL AGAIN AND I PURCHASED THIS CAR 7 MONTHS AGO FRO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT HAD 55K MILES AT THE TIME I ALWAYS NOTICED TO BE LOW OF MOTOR OIL AND I THOUGHT IT WAS NORMAL BUT IT'S GETTING WORSE BY THE TIME GOING BY. I THINK IS TOO SOON TO BE BURNING MOTOR OIL AT THOSE LOW MILES.

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR LESS THAN A YEAR, BOUGHT FROM A DEALER, AND I HAVE CHECKED THE BACKGROUND TO WHICH THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE FROM WHAT WAS PROVIDED TO ME. IT RANDOMLY STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND SHUTTING OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. NOW MIND YOU, AS A PREGNANT WOMAN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THIS IS NOT SAFE. MY ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. THOUGH I COULD HAVE GOTTEN IN AN ACCIDENT, BY THE GRACE OF GOD PEOPLE MOVED OUT THE WAY AND ALLOWED ME TO GET OFF AND TO THE SIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION POWER. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP THE ENGINE STALLED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER BOTH THE TIMES WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ONLY THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,122.

THE VEHICLE HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE TO ADD 3 QTS BETWEEN EVERY OIL CHANGE TO BRING IT BACK TO THE CORRECT LEVEL. I KNOW WHEN IT NEEDS THIS BECAUSE THE VALVE TRAIN GETS VERY LOUD AS IT IS STARVED FOR LUBRICATION. IT ALSO WILL HAVE IRREGULAR RPM LEVELS FROM TIME TO TIME AS WELL AS HARD STARTS. VEHICLE HAS 40K MILES ON IT. I HAVE BEEN HAVING TO DO THIS FOR THE LAST 10-12K MILES UNTIL I HEARD OF THIS BULLETIN. *TR

OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE: I REALIZED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO THAT MY CAR ENGINE WOULD SHAKE A BIT ON START UP AND DURING IDLE. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS VERY LITTLE OIL IN THE CAR AND THAT IT WAS BURNT. I WAS VERY SURPRISED BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS BEFORE. SO WE GOT AN OIL CHANGE AND THAT WAS THAT. ENGINE STILL SHOOK ON IDLE AND DURING STARTUP. 5000 MILES LATER I REALIZE THAT IT IS TIME FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND CHECK THE DIP STICK AND FIND THAT NOTHING APPEARS ON IT, INDICATING THAT IT IS SHORT AT LEAST 1.25 QUARTS. I FILL IT UP WITH 0.5 QUARTS AND STILL NOTHING ON THE DIP STICK. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND SEEN THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE OF OIL CONSUMPTION WITH 2010-2013 TERRAINS AND THAT THERE IS A BULLETIN ON IT (BELOW): HTTP://GM.OEMDTC.COM/1893/EXCESSIVE-OIL-CONSUMPTION-2010-2013-BUICK-CHEVROLET-GMC#COMMENT-1224 I CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND THE GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE LINE, CHECK MY VIN AND THEY SAY THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON MY CAR. WHAT AM I TO DO? THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT IN BULLETINS AND ON THE WEBSITE ABOVE. I FEEL THAT THIS ISSUE HAS DONE ITS DAMAGE ON THE ENGINE AND IS GOING TO COST ME THOUSANDS TO REPAIR. *TR

ON THE 2.4L ECOTEC ENGINE, THE PCV ORIFICE IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD BECOMES CLOGGED WHICH CAUSES OIL TO BE PULLED INTO THE ENGINE COMBUSTION CHAMBER AND BURNED. THIS CAUSES AN EXCESS BUILD UP OF CARBON INSIDE THE ENGINE AND ON THE SPARK PLUGS WHICH IN TURN CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO IDLE ROUGHLY AND STALL OUT WHILE SITTING IDLE, SUCH AS AT A STOP LIGHT. GM HAS ISSUED A SPECIAL COVERAGE SERVICE BULLETIN (#: 14882) BUT ONLY FOR SPECIFIC VIN'S. IT HAS BECOME KNOWN THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER VEHICLES THAT FALL UNDER THE YEAR GROUPS STATED BY GM IN THEIR SERVICE BULLETIN, EVEN IF IT'S A VIN THAT THEY DEEM IS SAFE FROM THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY REFUSE TO RECALL THE VEHICLES EVEN IF THEY ARE AFFECTED BY THE KNOWN PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO DIE WHILE TRYING TO LEAVE FROM A STATIONARY POSITION ONCE THE ENGINE HAS WARMED UP, FOR EXAMPLE PASSING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AFTER A RED LIGHT. *TR

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE EVER SINCE ITS PURCHASE 01/2015. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THE SERVICE CONTRACT WOULD NOT COVER MY ISSUE AND THAT THE ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY LACK OF MAINTENANCE, WHICH IS NOT THE CASE AS I MAINTAIN THE OIL IN THIS VEHICLE AND EVEN HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW BATTERY FOR THE VEHICLE RECENTLY.THIS CAR'S ENGINE REPEATEDLY STOPS, ESPECIALLY WHEN APPROACHING A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN OR AT THE MOMENT OF ACCELERATION. I HAVE HAD TO AVOID MANY ACCIDENTS DUE TO PEOPLE DRIVING UP ON ME BECAUSE I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ACCELERATING AT THE TIME BUT MY CAR TURNED OFF. THE BATTERY WOULD DIE ON THIS CAR ON A WEEKLY BASIS WHICH CAUSED ME TO PURCHASE A BATTERY AND THERE IS STILL NO PROGRESS IN THE VEHICLE. THE MOTOR KNOCKS BADLY UPON STARTUP, ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNINGS. THE ENGINE IS VERY WEAK AFTER AN INDEPENDENT DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. AND JUST LAST WEEK, AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NORMAL SPEEDS, THE MUFFLER SHIELD BROKE, FELL, AND BEGAN SCRAPING AGAINST THE HIGHWAY. THERE ARE ELECTRICAL ISSUES AS WELL AS THE LIGHTING IN THE CAR GETS DIM WHEN WE ARE IN THE DARK BUT BRIGHT WHEN THE SUN IS OUT. ALSO, THE SEATBELT FOR THE PASSENGER'S SIDE CONSTANTLY RINGS SENDING A NOTIFICATION THAT THE SEATBELT NEEDS TO BE LATCHED, EVEN WHEN NO ONE ELSE OR NOTHING ELSE IS IN THAT SEAT. I FEAR THAT ONE DAY I MAY NEED THAT AIR BAG AND IT MIGHT NOT WORK BECAUSE THE SEATBELT APPEARS TO BE FAULTY. ALSO, ANOTHER ISSUE, WHICH IS NOT NECESSARILY A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT AN EXTREME NUISANCE AND ALSO MAYBE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE IS THE CAR RADIO AND VOLUME WILL FREEZE AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT AND THE CAR HAS TO BE STOPPED AND IDLE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE THE RADIO IS ACTIVE AND ABLE TO TURN CHANNELS AGAIN. THE SAFETY ISSUES FOR THIS CAR ARE REAL AND I AM IN FEAR THAT I WILL GET HIT FROM BEHIND DUE TO THE FAULTY ENGINE.

YES THE MANUAL SAYS CHECK OIL AT EVERY FILL UP BUT AFTER OWNING MANY CARS OVER 38 YEARS WITHOUT THIS PROBLEM IT WOULD SEEM THE MANUAL WAS WRITTEN TO PROTECT GM. I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IF I KNEW I HAD TO PUT IN A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1500 MILES. GOOGLE THIS. IM NOT THE ONLY ONE.

WITHIN TWO DAYS' TIME, MY 2012 GMC TERRAIN STALLED FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES, ALL AT LOW SPEEDS. THE FIRST TIME WAS BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY; THE OTHER THREE HAPPENED THE FOLLOWING DAY STARTING UP FROM CITY STREET INTERSECTIONS. MY CONCERN IS BEING REAR-ENDED IN THOSE SITUATIONS, OR BEGINNING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC THINKING YOU HAVE ENOUGH TIME AND THEN HAVING THE CAR STALL. ANOTHER CONCERN IS HAVING THE STALLING ISSUE OCCUR AT HIGHER SPEEDS, ALTHOUGH THAT NEVER HAPPENED TO ME. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON THAT SECOND DAY, AND THEY REPLACED THE INTAKE CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR SOLENOID VALVE. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT REPEATED ITSELF SINCE. THANK YOU.
