2013 GMC TERRAIN Engine Problems

The exhaust and emissions system appears to have failed or is malfunctioning, including the catalytic converter and potentially the exhaust manifold or upstream exhaust components. The engine and fuel/propulsion system are also affected, as evidenced by sputtering and drivability issues. The vehicle and affected components are available for inspection upon request. Exhaust and/or fuel fumes enter the passenger cabin, particularly when the heater or air conditioning is operating. This creates a risk of exposure to harmful exhaust gases, including potential carbon monoxide, which poses a serious health and safety risk to vehicle occupants. The vehicle also sputters and hesitates, which could lead to unsafe driving conditions, especially in traffic or at highway speeds. Yes. The issue has been confirmed through diagnostic trouble codes indicating catalytic converter efficiency failure. Despite replacement of spark plugs and sensors, the problem continues to recur, indicating an underlying exhaust or emissions system defect rather than routine maintenance. The vehicle has been inspected by service professionals for diagnostic purposes. The manufacturer has not physically inspected the vehicle, and no inspections have been performed by police or insurance representatives to date. The check engine light illuminated prior to and during the issue. Additional symptoms included engine sputtering, loss of smooth acceleration, and a strong exhaust or fuel odor inside the cabin when the HVAC system is in use. These symptoms have recurred over time despite repairs.

2013 GMC Terrain with 109000 miles. Check engine light came on. Drove to local independent repair shop to have codes checked and to have oil changed. Oil was due to be changed at 109000 miles. Repair shop showed oil was down over 3 quarts even though they found no leaks. All engine codes had been set by low oil. They changed oil and filter (twice) and performed complete oil system cleaning and ran diagnostics. They asked my to watch oil consumption and bring it back in 500 miles. The next day, the check engine symbol came back on so I took vehicle back to repair shop. Error codes now all pointed to timing chain problem. It would be $1500 to $2000 to replace timing chain.

Now I have a problem with the theft indicator and the vehicle does not turn on. Several problems have come up since the airbag indicator lit up.

Massive oil consumption

Bought my 2013 GMC Terrain SLT in 2017 from Carvana. I did not know there had been low oil issues or catalytic convertor issues that GM had put out a letter to get replaced in 2020. I always had to put oil in it. It just burnt right out. I also replaced 3 catalytic convertors. Fast forward to now 2023, I'm driving and my engine starts knocking loud. It has oil in it at this point. It finally died half way home 52 miles out. I had it towed home and then to a dealer. I find out from them that there was metal intermix with the oil and that this had a warranty for this issue. But... now my vehicle is 10 years old and over 120,000 miles. Now I can't get the warranty because it expired. that's crap! This should be a recall by now considering this has happened to numerous people with this year make and model. I can't spend $9,698.00 on a new engine.

This vehicle is burning/losing oil. It is full, it will have a greasy substance on the dipstick and oil cap. Then after 1k-12k miles the oil is almost empty. I have had almost 5k in repairs at McLaughlin and they state nothing is wrong, yet I keep having the same issue. I went to key Auto mall and oil looked fine and now it is almost empty again. No oil all over the engine or on the ground. I don't want the engine to blow or have excessive oil changes. What is the remedy to fix this?

Experienced two separate problems with the engine. The first is oil consumption. We have had to add oil almost every month for the past 2-3 years. The second is that the rear main seal blew after an extreme cold snap. While attempting to repair the vehicle we found metal shavings in the oil filter. The vehicle is no longer worth the cost of the repairs.

Sudden Excessive Oil Consumption, Engine Seized, Oil Pressure Alert Warning Failed to alert driver that the car was bone dry with no oil, and the Information Screen indicated that 25% Oil Life was Remaining, when the car was bone dry with no oil. FYI - GM paid for 50% on costs of a replaced repurposed engine. And yet there is/was no recall? They should have paid 100%

Vehicle began to hesitate and then became disabled. A large amount of oil was evident under the vehicle and continued to leak. It was apparent that the rear seal had blown out. Vehicle was towed to a GMC dealership and confirmed problem. Another mechanic informed us of a recall on these engines but this has yet to be confirmed with the dealership after nearly 3 weeks of it being there.

I have almost been in 3 accidents. My 2013 Terrain has stalled while driving..Cut off at lights. Engine reduced while driving and massive oil leak that gas caused timing chain and engine failure. I have read other complaints, and this is sad GMC has been allowed to get away with this. These engines are dangerous and need to be replaced before someone looses their life.

I was driving my 2013 GMC Terrain to a friends house, I stopped at a stop light, when I picked up speed, the car stalled and wouldn't get up to speed. Eventually, it did pick up speed. I went to turn into her neighborhood and the same thing happened. Trying to get to the destination, I continued into the neighborhood. I stopped at a stop sign, and when I tried to accelerate, the car died. No indicator lights were engaged. I turned the car off and waited a minute or so and turned it back on. I got to her house, and charged my battery and drove home without issue. The next day, I went to have my battery checked and they alerted me to a horrible oil leak. I had the car towed to the dealership. The next day, the dealership told me that GMC would specifically have to look at the vehicle to diagnose. I had the car towed to my trusted mechanic and he told me the rear main oil seal blew out and found a service bulletin regarding this issue #14882. I made an appointment with the dealership only to find out that this isn't covered under the bulletin, because it expired in November of 2022, and it's not covered under my warranty. The warranty company stated, "if there isn't evidence of moisture in the PCV it would be covered, but since it's a known issue and a consistent problem with the vehicle, it's not covered." So, my only choice is to pay out of pocket for a defective part that will continue to break and cause the rear main oil seal to blow out of the car, potentially putting me and my 9 year old daughter at risk, because GMC isn't acknowledging this issue and recalling the faulty part that is the ROOT of the problem and has been widely reported. There is also a class action lawsuit that is currently open and ongoing (Case 2:22-cv-10785-MAG-JJCG) which is trying to hold GMC responsible for not recalling the part sooner - when they were made aware of it - putting thousands of consumers at risk. It's also fraudulent for this information to not be disclosed at point of sale.

Vehicle stopped running due to timing chain issues at 106,000 miles. Dealer stated the 3.6L V6 is known to not last past 100k miles and they can't do anything. This needs to be a recall as it's a very prevalent problem.

Was driving vehicle all of a sudden reduce low power engine mode. Sign came on and something about stabilization traction. Not sure exactly what vehicle stalled out will not restart. Also have used too much oil constantly putting oil in one to 2 quarts every two weeks or more.

While driving on the highway at speed limit 75mph, the vehicle (without warning ⚠️) suddenly went into (Reduced Power Engine Mode/ Service Stabilitrack) jerked and slowed down to 35mp almost causing a pile up as cars behind and next to me where still driving above 70mph. If not for my quick reaction to turn on emergency lights cars behind me would have hit me. Immediately after I got off the highway I drove the car (at 35mph as fast as it went) to my nearest Pepboys. Here the vehicle was serviced for nearly a month until the problem was fixed. The cost was almost $6500 GMC has failed to notify customers if this potential issue which not only risks the lives of the drivers and passengers of the 2013 Terrain but those driving alongside it. This is not a new issue as I found the testimonies of many other GMC owners tell a similar dangerous experience. Please help! I have detailed invoices of the repairs.

Timing chain broke, No check engine line! Please get a recall going on this motor! I've read hundreds of RECENT posted complaints about this. This is not the trust of an American made supplier. Do the right thing. Please.

I've been having same issues Occurring since I Signed my purchase agreement. The constant rattle at about 1500 RPM, The oil leaves At such a rapid rate That I have to monitor it every day As to make sure the level doesn't go too low. I've only had the vehicle since September 2022 and here it is Halloween 2022 and I'm down over $2000 maintenance costs and maintenance costs trying to prevent catastrophic failure with the engine that I know is coming! OBDII code reads P0171

We purchased the car in September of 2021, had the oil changed about two months after we bought it, no mention of any issues. In January, half of dashboard lights and the digital speedometer went out. The check engine light came on. We took the car to a mechanic and there was no oil registering on the dipstick. They put several quarts of oil in, the check engine light went off, and the dashboard lights/digital speedometer returned. If the engine had failed it could have caused a serious, possibly fatal accident with other vehicles. Upon research, GMC had issued a special coverage for excessive oil consumption. This appears to be the problem with our vehicle as we need to add oil at least once a week, and the car is not driven over 500 miles in a month. Because the special coverage expired even before we purchased the car, GMC will do nothing to honor the warranty. So what happens to all of the new GMC owners that are inheriting a serious problem they had no control over having remedied?

Vehicle burns excessive amounts of oil. I need to add oil almost every time I drive. This could result in catastrophic engine failure. GMC and Chevrolet know about this problem, but refuse to issue a recall for this engine.

UNKNOWN

Excessive oil consumption, on average this vehicle is burning off 2 or more quarts of oil over approximately 1,000 miles. The vehicle is also hard idling, jerky and lunging forward at a stop. The entire engine shakes until it sounds like it stalls out. The Check engine light turns on and off when it has been over 2500 miles after an oil change and when the gas gauge reads 1/4 of a tank or less. The diagnostic tool plug does not register anything; does not even turn the diagnostic tool on when plugged in. This vehicle has stalled while driving with no warning lights or indicators. I called GMC on 10/11/22 to inquiry about these issues the called me back on 10/12/22 and was told that they could not find a recall. I then mentioned the class action lawsuit and they said they found something. They then tried to tell me that recalls are ONLY VIN specific, which is a lie. I already got the recall notice but when I went to get it done they tried to tell me that I had to get services done with them for 6months before they would do the recall fix. And Now I have a car sitting in the shop that I can’t use because it needs a new engine.

Additionally, while operating the vehicle, there was a knocking sound coming from the engine compartment. The contact stated that occasionally the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who performed an oil consumption test. The result of the test was not yet available. Additionally, the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 80,000.

My 2013 GMC Terrain is currently burning oil and requires an engine replacement. This is a known issue with this engine and needs to be addressed for those not notified of the class action lawsuit, or where GMC CLAIMS it is not impacted.

Excessive oil consumption, on average this vehicle is burning off 2 or more quarts of oil over approximately 1,000 miles. The vehicle is also hard idling, jerky and lunging forward at a stop, hard shutoff where the engine does not immediately shut off when the key is turned off and the entire engine shakes until it sounds like it stalls out. The vehicle also accelerates slowly with high RPMs, approximately 3500 RPMs before shifting gears. Check engine light turns on and off when it has been over 2500 miles after an oil change and when the gas gauge reads 1/4 of a tank or less. The diagnostic tool plug does not register anything; does not even turn the diagnostic tool on when plugged in. This vehicle has also stalled out while driving with no warning lights or indicators. I called GMC on 8/9/22 to inquiry about these issues and was informed my VIN is not included in any recalls or special conditions related to these known issues.

My 2013 engine blew out, I did an oil change around February and a month later took my vehicle to aamco and they found a gallon of coolant in the engine. None of the warning lights came on prior to this happening at all whatsoever. The oil life was still at 32% with no oil in my engine. All 3 of my windshield wipers as well rotted within the year that I purchased the vehicle. Now I do not have a working vehicle at all whatsoever due to the engine and car not wanting to start. When I put the code reader in when it first happened it told me it was the camshaft sensor so I changed both sensors and all the spark plugs and even bought the crankshaft sensor and it was none of the above until later I found out it was the engine that blew. I have spent so much money on this vehicle it’s ridiculous.

The vehicle lost sudden speed and stalled in the road and had to be pushed off the road to a safe location so I wouldn't get hit and be towed. The mechanic done an assessment to find out my timing chain broke and damaged my head and pistons. I was also advised by the mechanics that this goes along with the engine consumption issue that my Terrain had that GMC has refused to look at and take blame for. My car now needs a new motor. Consumer stated she has 5,000 worth of damages.*JB

Bought my 2013 Gmc Terrain with 84,000 miles for $16,000. At 97,774 miles had to have it serviced for excessive oil consumption with timing cover and front crank seal cleaned and timing cover gasket replaced. Cost over $700. Then at 100333 miles had to have a new timing chain put in and water pump also the camshaft and cam phasers cost over $2,000. Now it is around 121000 miles and the lights on dash light up while driving to service stability track and I can not go faster then about 30 miles an hour. It then goes off and randomly comes back on while driving at any speed. Also there is a HUGE OIL PROBLEM with oil not just dripping like a small leak but spewing basically from underneath vehicle. I have to literally put oil in my car before I drive it anywhere because it all leaks out while I drive. Was told by a macanic I have a leak where the engine meets the transmission and my options for fixing it are to totally replace the engine hahaha or get a new vehicle. Wtf GMC this is not ok!

Oil consumption is high causing car to burn all oil out and car to make loud noises/stop running.

While pulling out of my driveway the car stalled and the stabilitrak light came on. Car would not start again. Had it towed to dealership because it seemed something electrical was the issue and now they say it needs a complete new engine because it lost oil compression. No oil light has ever come on, no other lights and no oil leaking on our driveway or anywhere else that we’ve noticed. Dealership says they can’t tell us exactly why the engine failed. The car only has 53000 mikes on it. We bought it in august of 2014 and maintain it appropriately

I purchased a 2013 GMC Terrain from dealer. It had 80017 miles. I have had over $4000 dollars worth of work done . Replaced spark plugs, vvt sensor,map sensor,oil change,brakes, battery, ecm, fuel induction device. I drove it about two weeks, and it drove fine. (All receipts available) my truck now starts up and just shuts off, it feels as if the idle is so low. Starts up again and then shuts off , I am afraid to use it. I called gm customer service ,and gave me a case # 9-6969510190. They told me to take it to a dealership, and have them look at it. The previous owner , had a lot service done. The problem that I had before , and currently is the same situation. An independent mechanic shop told me that the oil , and engine is a common problem , and the gm dealer that I am taking to should look at that. A recall should be instituted, there are over 40k complaints.

When driving my Terrain, my traction control light came on, then a message on the display saying service stabilitrack and engine power is reduced. I couldn't go over a certain speed. I've taken it to Autozone to be put on the computer and it shows up stabilitrack. The car stops running and it takes a few minutes to get it running again. I just bought the car and I'm having problems with these lights and controls. I have read online about this same issue. Is this a recall or does it have to be more complaints about this first? I love my car but these issues are too much. The car has 211k miles on it. Please help me

We have a 2013 Terrain that was repaired for excessive oil consumption (N192291100). Since that time, the vehicle has been experiencing catalytic converter/O2 sensor issues (N192287100), however GM says our vehicle doesn’t qualify for the converter/O2 special coverage adjustment because it’s not an affected VIN. I don’t understand how it would have undergone the initial SCA repairs, but then the new SCA doesn’t apply to it? The new one is a direct result of the first. The customer service reps I spoke with at GM couldn’t answer this question or provide me a way to go up the chain to get an answer. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

excessive oil consumption. This is a known problem with this car...you all know it is and GM should issue a recall.

Vehicle sputters on the highway sometimes shuts off at highway speed, when I turn my key off the car continues to run for 3-5 seconds. When I turn a corner vehicle sputters and tries to die sometimes does. When stopped at a stop sign vehicle will die. High pressure fuel pumps are known to do this and I have excess fuel in my oil.

I’ve been having a issue with my oil consumption and display messages about servicing the stabilitrak and traction control. I could be driving and suddenly my engine power is reduced asking with these two messages. I received a letter from GMC about the excessive oil consumption due to degraded catalytic converter and/or oxygen sensor. The one oxygen sensor was replaced before I received the letter. The letter states I should get the oil consumption diagnosed. I’ve went 4 times now and the oil dipstick smells like gas but the dealership is saying the special coverage has expired. My letter says otherwise. Why send a letter about a possible issue and then not help to fix it?

1. Engine burning oil, had to be replaced at 100,000 miles. In repair shop again, oil coming out of exhaust?? 2. Car would stall out while driving, try to accelerate at a red light, almost crashed a few times. Back window has been covered in oil from exhaust. Couldn't see. 3. Only used White Plains Buick/GMC for repairs. Car is there now. 4. NYS DMV is currently investigating 5. Check engine light just recently came on

VEHICLE BURNED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OIL. PARTS WERE REPLACED UNDER A LAWSUIT, BUT NOTHING WAS DONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT STARTS HAPPENING AGAIN.

IIN EARLY 2020 I REACHED OUT TO 2 DIFFERENT GMC DEALERSHIPS IN REGARD TO THE RECALLS THAT EXISTED ON MY VEHICLE'S ENGINE AND OIL CONSUMPTION. THE VEHICLE WAS OVERCONSUMING OIL (I WOULD TRACK THE OIL LEVELS) AND NEEDED EXCESSIVE OIL CHANGES. THE FIRST DEALERSHIP SAID THAT MY VEHICLE DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL DUE TO MILEAGE WHEN I JUST RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE. SECOND DEALERSHIP WOULDN'T EVEN LOOK AT VEHICLE. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE ENGINE BLEW, SPILLING OIL EVERYWHERE. THE ENGINE NOW NEEDS A TOTAL ENGINE REPLACEMENT. HAD THE DEALERSHIPS AGREED TO LOOK AT THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING AND HAD KNOWLEDGE OF THE GMC RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE, I WOULDN'T HAVE AN INOPERABLE VEHICLE AND NEEDED TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE DUE TO THE ENGINE ISSUES NOT BEING COVERED THAT WERE COMMON KNOWLEDGE ON THESE MAKE/MODEL/YEAR VEHICLES. I HAVE TRIED TO WORK WITH DEALERSHIPS AS WELL AS MY THE FINANCER OF THE VEHICLE, GMC NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE AND CONTACT ME. SINCE THE WARRANTY ENDED ON THE VEHICLE THE 1ST YEAR I OWNED IT, I HAVE PUT NEARLY $10,000 INTO FAULTY PARTS AND REPLACEMENTS ON THE VEHICLE THAT WEREN'T "COVERED". I WOULD LIKE THIS SITUATION INVESTIGATED DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUES THE ENGINE CAUSED THAT WERE REFUSED TO BE LOOKED AT AND NOW THE NEGATIVE FINANCIAL ASPECT IT HAS CAUSED ME.

11/9/2020 THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR RANDOMLY DIED SO I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED BOTH INTAKE AND CAM SOL VALVES , REPLACED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD, BOTH HO2 SENSORS, HEAT SHIELD, CAT CONVERTER AND HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. THIS WAS ALL DONE AT 121617 MILES. HAD NO ISSUES UNTIL 125,400 ON 2/3/2021 THE CAR RANDOMLY DIED WHILE DRIVING BUT I MADE IT TO WORK. ON THE WAY TO GET IT CHECKED OUT IT MADE A LOUD NOISE AND DIED RESULTING IN BEING PULLED OUT OF THE STREET AND TO THE SHOP. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE TIMING CHAIN CAME APART AND THE ENGINE NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT'S 400 MILES OUT OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THE REPAIRS IN NOVEMBER TOTALED $3023.17 OF WHICH I HAD TO PAY $1,100 AND NOW THE CAR IS INOPERABLE AND THEY WANT $7000 TO INSTALL A NEW ENGINE. I HAVE FOUND SINCE THIS HAPPENED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT GM IS AWARE OF WITH THE 4 CYLINDER ENGINE. I KEPT UP WITH OIL CHANGES AND USED SYNTHETIC OIL

MY VEHICLE EATS UP OIL. I JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION INVESTIGATION. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON. SOMETIMES WHEN I FILL IT WITH GAS IT GOES OFF. A WEEK AGO IT CAME ON AND THEN AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY STREET MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, THEN A MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY SAYING SERVICE STABILITRACK AND ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. I COULDN'T GO OVER 35MPH. I TOOK IT TO OREILY THE FOLLOWING MORNING AND THE CODE P0175 SHOWED 'FUEL SYSTEM TOO RICH'. I FOUND A RECALL OF AN O2 SENSOR. I COULDN'T GET INTO A GM SHOP FOR ANOTHER WEEK. TODAY THEY FIXED THE RECALL BUT TOLD ME THE SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION WAS EXPIRED IN 7/2020 FOR MY VEHICLE. I CHATTED WITH GM ONLINE AND THEY DIDN'T ANSWER ALL MY QUESTIONS. EVEN THOUGH I FOUND THE INFO ON THIS HERE WEBSITE ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION AND THE TIME LIMIT AND MILEAGE ON WHEN I COULD GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED, GM WOULD NOT EXPLAIN IN DETAIL TO CLARIFY THIS INFO. IT SAID 7 YEARS AND 6MOS OR 120K MILES FROM WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN SERVICE. THEY SAID THIRD PARTY SITES LIKE THESE AREN'T RELIABLE. THE SHOP MENTIONED I SHOULD JUST KEEP OIL IN IT AND THAT GETTING THE PISTONS FIXED WOULD BE $5K. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER AND I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION OTHERWISE I WOULD'VE NEVER GOTTEN THE VEHICLE OR AT LEAST GOT IT FIXED IN SAID TIME LIMIT.

THIS VEHICLE IS CONSUMING OIL AT AN EXCESSIVE RATE. THIS HAS CAUSED OTHER ISSUES SUCH AS SOLENOIDS NEEDING REPLACEMENT AS WELL AS A TIMING CHAIN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AMONG THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I HAVE TO ADD OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AND IF THE TIMING CHAIN GOES DUE TO THIS, IT CAN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT.

I TOOK MY VECHILE FOR A RECALL, AND THEY FOUND IT ALSO HAD A CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET I FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE GM 2.4 ENGINE. WHY HASN'T A RECALL BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM, I WOULD CALL THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS EXHAUST GASSES CAN ENTER THE VECHILE FROM THE CRACK.

IN JANUARY 2018 I HAD NOTICED AT DRIVE THRUS THAT I COULD HEAR A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM MY 2013 GMC TERRIAN. ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I GOT TO THE STOP LIGHT I NOTICED THE SOUND GOT VERY LOUD AND ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. AFTER SHUTTING IT OFF AN TURNING IT BACK ON, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO A GAS STATION, WHERE OIL WAS LEAKING EVERYWHERE. IT WAS TOWED TO A GMC DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THE TIMING CHAIN HAD BROKE AND I HAD TO BUY A BRAND NEW ENGINE FOR A CAR THAT WAS 5 YEARS OLD AND HAD 106,000 MILES. THERE WAS A RECALL THAT TOOK OVER A YEAR FOR ME TO BE DECLINED FOR WHICH WAS THE PISTON RING AND NOW THERE IS ANOTHER ONE FOR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER THAT POAGE IS TELLING ME I AM DENIED FOR. HOW CAN THERE BE 2 DIFFERENT RECALLS THAT EFFECT THE ENGINE, BUT I DO NOT QUALIFY FOR EITHER ONE OF THEM. TO SPEND $5307.00 ON AN ENGINE FOR WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IS INSANE.

2013 TERRAIN STARTED SHAKING WHILE MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY. SHE BROUGHT IT HOME AND PARKED IT. THEN IT STARTED LEAKING OIL. ON 2/15/21, WE HAD THE TERRAIN TOWED TO THE LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP. SERVICE MANAGER, FRED, SAID THE REAR MAIN SEAL BLEW OUT CAUSED FROM TOO MUCH PRESSURE DUE TO FROZEN/PLUGGED PCV. GM SERVICE BULLETIN 14882 DESCRIBES THIS ISSUE. ON 2/19/21 AT 3:15PM, FRED STATED ON A RECORDED CALL WITH ME AND GM CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THE TERRAIN'S 'PROBLEMS ARE EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN THE BULLETIN' BUT GM REFUSES TO COVER THE COST TO REPAIR MY 2013 TERRAIN WITH 99,500 MILES. GM FIRST AGREED TO PAY $500 TOWARD THE COST OF THE REPAIR, BUT HAS SINCE REDUCED THE AMOUNT TO $200. THIS IS A GM DESIGN FLAW THAT CAUSES ENGINE DAMAGE. GM CUSTOMERS SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR A REPAIR CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE MANUFACTURER.

2013 TERRAIN WAS IN MOTION AND STOPPED ON AN IL HIGHWAY IN VERY COLD FEBRUARY WEATHER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, WHO STATES PVC CRANKCASE ISSUE. I INVESTIGATED AND FOUND THIS ISSUE IS LISTED UNDER BULLETIN 14882. DEALERSHIP AND GM CORPORATE LINE CLAIM THAT THE BULLETIN NUMBER DOES NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE AND THUS NO SPECIAL COVERAGE AVAILABLE TO COVER REPAIRS. REPAIRS ARE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR A NEW ENGINE. MANY OTHER CAR OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS PER GOOGLE. THE BULLETIN RECOGNIZES THE SAFETY RISK, YET THERE APPEARS TO BE NO FULL ON RECALL FOR INCLUSION OF ADDITIONAL AFFECTED VEHICLES. PLEASE HELP. THIS IS UNFAIR TO CONSUMERS AND HAZARDOUS TO ALL WINTERY DRIVERS. GMC SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO CLAIM THE BULLETIN IS "VIN SPECIFIC" WHEN THE ISSUE ARISES DUE TO COLD WEATHER--WHICH WE ALL KNOW CAN OCCUR IN MANY PLACES AT ANY TIME. THANKS,

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK LAST NIGHT IN MY CAR AND WHEN I GOT TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD, I ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOW A TAD FOR SOME FRESH AIR, AND THEN NOTICED A WEIRD CRANKING SOUND COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I CONTINUED HOME CAUTIOUSLY, NOTICING AT THIS POINT THAT WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE THE CAR WOULD SHAKE SOME AND THE LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER SOME. I HAD NOT NOTICED ANYTHING ON THE 25 MILE DRIVE TO WORK THAT MORNING AND MOST OF THE DRIVE HOME UNTIL SLOWING DOWN FROM HIGHWAY TO NEIGHBORHOOD ROAD. WHEN I GOT TO MY CARPORT I PARKED MY CAR AND GOT OUT, NOTICING THE SMELL OF BURNING OIL. I QUICKLY LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND SAW OIL SPILLING, AND LOOKED BEHIND MY CAR TO SEE A HUGE LINE OF OIL FROM WHERE I HAD COME THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE CARPORT. FAINT BLUE SMOKE WAS ALSO VISIBLE, AT THIS POINT I SHUT MY CAR OFF. THERE WAS NEVER A SINGLE INDICATION LIGHT OF ANY SORT AT ANY POINT IN TIME. I HAVE FULL SERVICE RECORDS I HAVE ALWAYS MAINTAINED MY CAR EVERY 5000 MILES OR LESS, LAST TIME BEING BARELY 2 MONTHS BEFORE THIS INCIDENT, $150 SERVICE AND FULL CHECKUP. 30 MINUTES LATER I CAME BACK OUT TO INSPECT AND EVERYWHERE ON THE UNDERSIDE OF MY CAR WAS DRIPPING OIL ON THE GROUND, A GOOD 7X3 FOOT AREA WITH DRIPS EVERYWHERE AND MAIN POOL NEAR THE FRONT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE SEEN MANY MANY CLAIMS DESCRIBING THIS EXACT PROBLEM WITH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL AS ME, AS LITTLE AS 8 DAYS AGO POSTING ABOUT IT. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANY RECALLS OR NOTICES OF THIS PROBLEM BUT I SEE CLASS ACTION LAW SUITES OVER THIS OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM ONLINE, HOWEVER I SEE ALSO SEE ARTICLES SAYING HOW OVER 41,000 VINS WERE EXCLUDED AND PEOPLE ARE HAVING EXTREME PROBLEMS WITH THIS SITUATION. NON-PERSONAL INFO AS A YOUNG MAN WITH THIS BEING MY FIRST MAJOR PURCHASE, HAVING MAINTAINED MY CAR AS REQUIRED AND HAVING PAID $10980 I AM EXTREMELY UPSET BEING OUT OF TRANSPORTATION DUE TO MECHANICAL FLAW ON PISTON DESIGN

I HAVE BEEN HAVING OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEMS FOR THE 11 MONTHS BEFORE THE ENGINE QUIT WORKING AS SOON AS I PULLED OUT OF A SHOPPING CENTER. I CONTACTED GM TO SEE IF ANYTHING COULD BE DONE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A CERTIFIED DEALER TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT AND GM KNEW I HAD 124,000 MI ON THE ENGINE. THEY STILL WANTED ME TO BRING IT TO THEM, FOR THEM TO LET ME KNOW THEY WEREN'T GOING TO HELP OR PICK UP ANYTHING. I OWE 9,000 ON THE CAR AND THATS WHAT THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR A NEW ENGINE. TRIED GOING TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO TRY TO TRADE CAR IN AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY ALMOST 600 A MONTH COMPARED TO MY 225 NOW! NO HELP WHERE EVER I GO... BEFORE, I WENT TO DEALER AND GM I TRIED TO FIX IT BY CHANGING OUT ALTERNATOR, SPARK PLUGS, NEW BATTERY AND Q NEW TIMING CHAIN.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, I NOTICED A CLOUD OF SMOKE. THE VEHICLE THEN PROCEEDED TO LOSE ACCELERATION, SO I PULLED OVER. LET ME NOTE THAT THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS WARNING LIGHT AND THAT THE OIL WAS JUST CHANGED AT THE END OF DEC. 2019 (RECEIPT AVAILABLE). UPON PULLING OVER, THE CAR FLASHED "OIL PRESSURE LOW - STOP ENGINE". THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS 13 AND MY TWO CHILDREN WHERE IN THE CAR; 4 AND 2. NOT IDEAL CONDITIONS FOR THE CAR TO STOP!!!. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO MY HOME, BY MY INSURANCE COMPANY. UPON EXAMINATION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT A ROD WENT THROUGH THE ENGINE BLOCK. THERE WAS OIL EVERYWHERE!! IT WAS ALL OVER MY DRIVEWAY, (ANOTHER NOTE - THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER SEEN OIL ON MY DRIVEWAY FROM THIS VEHICLE), ALL OVER THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE, AND ALL OVER THE UNDERNEATH OF THE CAR. THE NEXT 24 HOURS WE WORKED ON FINDING A NEW ENGINE. HOWEVER, WHEN I ARRIVED HOME, THERE WAS A LETTER IN THE MAIL . CLAIM NUMBER 1900010 - BERMAN ET AL V. GM. THE CLAIM STATED THAT GM WAS TO COVER ALL EXPENSES FOR REPAIRS WITH A 2.4L ENGINE, EXHIBITING ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION, DUE TO PISTON RING WEAR. SO THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO A GM DEALER; BECAUSE THE ISSUE WITH THE ROD WAS DETERMINED BY A JAMMED PISTON/LACK OF OIL. AFTER REVIEW, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PISTON RING DID NOT CAUSE THE ROD TO BREAK. THAT THE REAR MAIN SEAL WENT OUT. IN ONE MINUTE, NO WARNING, THE CAR THAT I HAVE ONLY HAD FOR THREE YEARS AND STILL OWE ON, BLEW! ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH, THERE WAS A GM SERVICE BULLETIN 14482 IN MARCH 2015 FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN FEB OF 2017, CLEARLY NO IDEA. I THINK THIS IS ABSOLUTE BS THAT GM IS NOT HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO REPAIR ALL KNOW ISSUES IN THESE VEHICLES! PEOPLE SPEND THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY AND PUT THEIR FAMILIES IN THEM WITH THE EXPECTATIONS THAT THEY ARE PURCHASING A SOLID, SAFE VEHICLE!

ON A COLD 12 DEGREE DAY ON 1/19/2020 I WAS DRIVING MY 2013 GMC TERRAIN ON A BUSY STATE HIGHWAY DOING THE SPEED LIMIT OF 55 MPH. OUT OF NO WHERE I BEGAN TO SMELL THE ODOR OF BURNING OIL AND SEEN WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE. AS SOON AS I NOTICED IT MY CAR'S GAUGES STARTED COMING ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, A WARNING TO FOR "SERVICE STABILITRAK", THEN THE WARNING FOR "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". AT THE MOMENT MY CAR ALL THE SUDDEN SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY! THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING AND IT WAS VERY HARD FOR ME STEER MY CAR INTO THE PARKING LOT OF WALMART AND SAFELY OFF THE ROAD. ONCE IN THE PARKING LOT I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND CHECKED MY OIL. SMOKE IS ROLLING OUT OF THE DIPSTICK SHAFT. I CHECK MY OIL WEEKLY DUE TO GM'S OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES WITH THE 2013 GMC TERRAINS AND ON 1/15/2020 THE OIL WAS AT FULL, WAS OF NORMAL COLOR AND CONSISTENCY WHEN I FUELED AND CHECKED IT THAT DAY. SO I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT THERE WAS NO OIL ON MY DIPSTICK AND INSTEAD A MILKY BROWNISH SLUDGE ON IT. I SENT MY FIANCE TO BUY ME 2 QUARTS OF OIL JUST TO GET IT TO THE WALMART SERVICE DEPARTMENT SO THEY COULD LOOK AT IT SINCE I WAS IN THE WALMART PARKING LOT. I ADDED THE OIL DROVE IT 100 YARDS TO THE SERVICE DEPT OF WALMART. THE SERVICE MAN PULLED IT INTO THE GARAGE AND THEN INFORMED ME A FEW MINUTES LATER THAT THE REAR MAIN SEAL BLEW AND OIL WAS FLOWING OUT OF IT. IT WAS NOT DRIVEABLE SO I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A GM DEALER. THE GM DEALER CALLED ME THIS MORNING 1/21/2020 TO INFORM ME THAT THE REAR MAIN SEAL BLEW DUE TO MOISTURE IN THE INTAKE AND A FROZE THE PCV MODULE AND CAUSED TO MUCH PRESSURE TO BUILD UP AND BLEW THE SEAL. THE DEALER QUOTED THE REPAIRS TO BE $2065.69 AND INFORMED ME THAT THE REPAIRS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE GM SERVICE BULLETIN #14882 BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SERVICE BULLETIN.

NO WARNING LIGHTS EVER CAME ON TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. DIAGNOSTICS SHOULD HAVE INDICATED PRESSURE BUILD-UP. CAR HAD HESITATED A BIT AT THE LAST STOPLIGHT BEFORE MY HOUSE ON THE WAY HOME BUT NOT BAD AND ONLY ONE TIME. OIL ALL OVER UNDERSIDE OF VEHICLE. TOWED TO DEALER, GM KNOWS OF THE ISSUE BUT MY VIN IS NOT ON "THE LIST" FOR THE "SERVICE ADJUSTMENT" NOT A RECALL BUT IT SHOULD BE.. NOBODY CAN SAY WHY. WILL COVER PART BUT NOT ALL OF THE DAMAGE DESPITE THIS BEING THE RESULT OF A REALLY POOR ENGINE DESIGN THAT IS A "HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION" VEHICLE. IS THIS THE 70S? THAT SHOULD NOT EVEN BE A THING IN 2019. THE OIL SLUDGE IN ENGINE CAUSED THE PCV TO FREEZE UP IN THE COLD TEMPS AND IT BLEW OUT THE REAR MAIN SEAL FOR THE ENGINE. THEY WANT $1300 FROM ME TO FIX AND GM IS COVERING PART OF THE COST. BUT IF IT IS A DESIGN FLAW AND THEY KNEW ABOUT IT, THEY SHOULD HAVE FIXED IT BEFORE THEY SOLD IT. EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THIS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT INCLUDE THE PCV. LIKELY WILL NOT EVER COVER ANYTHING WITH THE ENGINE SINCE IT IS A DESIGN FLAW AND THOSE ARE BY DEFINITION PRE-EXISTING AND HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION THAT IS NOT COMING OUT ON THE GROUND IS FOULING UP SOMETHING. SO MY FIRST PAYMENT IS NOT EVEN DUE YET AND I ALREADY OWE MONEY TO SOMEONE ELSE AND IT IS SIGNIFICANT MONEY THAT WILL NOT BE EASY TO PAY. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, I WOULD HAVE LOST USE OF THE VEHICLE AT HIGH SPEED AND WOULD LIKELY HAVE CAUSED A CRASH.

IN AUGUST, 2019 I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AND WHEN I WEN TO LEAVE THE PARKING LOT AND PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE THE CAR SPUTTERED AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I THEN BROUGHT IT TO A DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED THE TIMING CHAINS AND ACTUATORS ($1,416.60). TWO DAYS AGO THERE WAS A TICKING SOUND AND THEN WHILE I WAS IN GEAR (DRIVE) WAITING FOR THE GARAGE TO OPEN, THE CAR STARTED TRYING TO "BUCK" FORWARD WHILE I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS MODEL WITH LOTS OF MILES (UNDER 70,000) TEND TO BURN OIL. I ADDED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OIL (NONE ON DIP STICK) AND NOW THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING FINE. WHY IS THIS CAR BURNING SO MUCH OIL? I HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR BURN OIL AND TO BE TOLD BY A DEALERSHIP AFTER IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THAT BURNING OIL IS NORMAL IS DISTURBING AS IS THE UNRELIABILITY OF THE CAR. WILL IT BUCK AGAIN OR DIE AGAIN?

THE CAR STARTED TO "BUCK" AND MAKING A TAP TAP TAP NOISE LIKE A LIFTER TAPPING WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE, SOMETHING SMELLED HOT. CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD AND THERE WAS NOTHING WET OR STEAMING. NO CHECK LIGHTS EVER CAME ON. LATER AT LUNCH, I LEFT AND THE TAPPING NOISE WAS LOUDER AND THE HEAT GAUGE INCREASED FAST. I STOPPED AT A REPAIR SHOP. WHILE I WAITED I CHECKED THE OIL. THERE WASN"T ANY!!! AT ALL. THE DIPSTICK WAS MILKEY. THE OIL FILL CAP WAS WET INSIDE AND MILKEY. UNDERNEATH MY CAR WAS COVERED IN FRESH OIL. IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE A BUSTED REAR MAIN SEAL. 4 QTS OF OIL ADDED SO I COULD GET HOME. MY MECHANIC CONFIRMED THE DIAGNOSIS. HE WAS SHOCKED. HE FOUND GM BULLETIN 14882 ONLINE. WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN THAT VIDEO IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. WE HAD A SUDDEN HARD FREEZE X 3 DAYS. THE PVS CONNECTION AT THE INTAKE WAS FULL OF WATER. WHEN THAT FROZE, IT BLEW OUT THE SEAL. MY CAR HAS 88,000 MILES ON IT. THERE ARE VIDEOS AFTER VIDEOS ONLINE OF THE SAME ENGINE DOING THIS EXACT SAME THING. I CALLED GM. THE BEST THEY COULD DO IS TELL ME TO REPORT TO YOU.

I HAVE HAD MY 2013 GMC TERRAIN FOR 3 YEARS AND IT HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION, STARTING, TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON BY ITSELF AND TRUCK CUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THIS STARTED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO. OIL, IT CONSUMES LARGE AMOUNTS OF OIL BETWEEN THE OIL CHANGES. I CHECK THE DIGITAL OIL DISPLAYS, THAT SHOW HOW MUCH OIL REMAINS, AND IT CAN GO FROM 80% REMAINS TO 70% REMAINS IN A MATTER OF DAYS. ICUTTING OFF, THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES. WHEN I DRIVE, IT LOOSES POWER AND CUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. NO WARNING AT ALL. THIS IS VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. IT WILL LOOSE POWER AND NOT ACCELERATE AND I HAVE HAD DRIFT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I AM SCARED IT WILL DO THIS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. STARTING, MY SUV CAN START WITH NO PROBLEM AND I CAN DRIVE TO THE STORE 5 MINUTES AWAY AND IT WILL NOT START WHEN I RETURN. I TRY STARTING IT 5 TIMES AND IT WILL FINALLY START. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. IT WILL START IN THE MORNING WHEN I GO TO WORK OR TAKE KIDS TO SPORTS PRACTICE OR THEIR GAMES AND WHEN I LEAVE WORK WILL NOT START AFTER 8 HOURS. AFTER A 1-2 HOUR GAME, SAME THING OCCURS, IT WILL NOT START. I HAVE TAKEN IT FOR DIAGNOSIS, RECEIVED CODE AND HAD IT REPAIRED. AFTER A FEW DAYS, SAME THING HAPPENS. MY MECHANIC CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. MY TRACTION LIGHT HAS ALSO COME ON BY ITSELF, FOR NO REASON. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THESE PROBLEMS BUT IT SHOULD BE BEFORE INNOCENT PEOPLE, AND FAMILIES ARE INJURED OR KILLED.

COMPLAINTS FOR MY 2013 GMC TERRAIN FLEX FUEL WHEN I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT WITH A 4 LANE INTERSECTION. WHENEVER THE LIGHT CHANGED THE VEHICLE SPUTTER OUT OR QUIT WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL. THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME ALMOST REAR ENDED THE BACK OF MY SUV. ALSO, HAVING TO HOLD BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME DURING STOPS TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM GOING DEAD. THE FIRST REPAIR WAS A MONTH AGO DUE TO CODE P0013 AND P0014 WHICH MY MECHANIC REPAIRED THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR AND ACCELERATOR SENSORS. THOSE WERE REPAIRED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON AND I RETURNED IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC WHO REPAIRED THE SENSORS AGAIN BECAUSE THE PARTS HAD A WARRANTY. ONCE AGAIN AFTER LEAVING MY MECHANICS SHOP THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME RIGHT BACK ON AFTER DRIVING 8 MILES. ALSO, LET ME SAY I DO TRUST MY MECHANIC, AS HE HAS WORKED ON MY PAST AND CURRENT VEHICLES WITH NO PROBLEMS. ANYWAY, MY MECHANIC COULD NOT GET A PROBLEM CODE ON THE TERRAIN SO THE NEXT DAY THE VEHICLE WAS PROMPTLY TAKEN TO MY LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY COULD DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THE MECHANIC AT THE GMC DEALERSHIP STATED THE VEHICLE NEEDED A TIMING CHAIN AND GEARS, WHICH WAS GOING TO RUN $1100-$1500 TO FIX. I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY AND VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED BY A WARRANTY DUE TO THE YEAR AND MILEAGE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, IT SEEMS SEVERAL CONSUMERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE GMC TERRAINS. I HAVE ONLY HAD MY SUV FOR A FEW MONTHS AND MY DREAM VEHICLE HAS TURNED INTO A NIGHTMARE. I HAD THREE LOCAL MECHANICS WITHIN THE LAST MONTH SAY 'THOSE VEHICLES ARE BAD TO GIVE TROUBLE' AND MY MECHANIC STATED THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS RECALLS ON THE TERRAINS OVER THE YEARS. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BY THE GMC MANUFACTURING COMPANY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. THANK YOU

I BOUGHT MY 2013 GMC TERRAIN NEW IN DECEMBER OF 2012. NOTICED THE ENGINE MAKING NOISE 10/20/18, MILEAGE: 74,052 NEEDED AN EMERGENCY OIL CHANGE, NO OIL.

I ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL, WAS TOLD NO. SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME IT'S A $3500 JOB TO REPLACE THE PISTONS AND THE SEALS BECAUSE THEY ARE DEEP IN THE ENGINE. HE HAD A MECHANIC ADD 2 QUARTS OF OIL. I ASKED IF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD TO BE RESET OR IF IT WOULD GO OFF AND WAS TOLD IT PROBABLY WOULD GO OFF. THEN HE SENT ME ON MY WAY. GOT A SECOND OPINION FROM ANOTHER MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD TO DILIGENTLY CHECK THE OIL AND KEEP OIL IN IT AND IT WILL RUN FINE. THREE DAYS LATER MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. THE OIL IS VERY DIRTY AND IT SHOULDN'T BE. , SOMETHING IS WRONG!!!THIS ISSUE REALLY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH GM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AS I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING IT!

OUR TERRAIN STARTED KNOCKING RIGHT BEFORE IT'S DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE. WE CHECKED IT AND IT HAD NO OIL. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BRUSHED IT AWAY AND STATED THAT IT'S NOT LEAKING BUT COULD BE BURNING THE OIL. IT WASN'T UNTIL WE TALKED TO A MECHANIC THAT WE WERE TOLD THAT CERTAIN GMC VEHICLES BURNING OIL AND THAT IT IS RECOMMENDED WE SPEND MORE MONEY ON MORE OIL REPLACING 1 QUART EVERY 1000 MILES. WE ALSO FOUND THAT OUR RADIO STOPPED WORKING BUT BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP FAILED TO INFORM US THAT THE WARRANTY WE GOT DIDN'T COVER THE RADIO. THEY TOLD US WE COULD GET IT REPAIRED BUT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME WE BUY A GMC OR A CHEVY SUV DUE TO THE ISSUES WITH GETTING THE REPAIRS DONE AND THE FACT THAT WE WANT A RELIABLE VEHICLE.

DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. WITH ONLY 92,000 MILES ON VEHICLE, MY ENGINE IS NOW RUINED (WITH NO WARNING AT ALL), AND I HAVE TO COME UP WITH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX IT. HOW HAS THIS NOT BEEN A RECALL SITUATION AT THIS POINT GIVEN ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING - SUDDEN ENGINE ISSUES RESULTING IN ENGINE REPLACEMENT WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES.

WE DISCOVERED THE CODE WAS ASSOCIATED WITH LOW ENGINE OIL. WE CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND THERE WAS NO OIL ON THE DIP STICK. WE NEEDED TO POOR 3 1/4 QUARTS OF OIL INTO THE ENGINE. WE NEEDED TO ADD APPROXIMATELY 1 QUART OF OIL EVERY 1 1/2 TO 2 WEEKS THEREAFTER. ABOUT A MONTH WENT BY, AND IN JANUARY 2019, THE DASH DISPLAYED AN ENGINE POWER LOSS MESSAGE AND THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE THAT OF A DIESEL ENGINE. WHEN THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF, WE NOTICED THE OIL HAD LEAKED ALL OVER THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO A MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED IT AS HAVING A REAR MAIN OIL SEAL FAILURE, PISTON RINGS WERE BAD, AND THE TIMING CHAIN WAS BAD. WE CALLED THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. THEY NOTED THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT HAS OVER 135K MILES ON IT AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO COMPENSATE FOR THE DAMAGE. WE CALLED THE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE HEADQUARTERS DIRECTLY, AND THEY INFORMED US THE VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED AS HAVING ANY ISSUES OR RECALLS ACCORDING TO THE VIN. $3500 ESTIMATE TO FIX BY PRIVATE MECHANIC. VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING SERVICED.

DURING THE POLAR VORTEX (JAN 2019) MY MAIN OIL SEAL BLEW ON MY 2013 GMC TERRAIN. THIS WAS CAUSED BY A PLUGGED ORIFICE WITHIN THE PCV SYSTEM. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW ON GM'S PART THAT THEY HAVE RECOGNIZED AND EXTENDED SPECIAL COVERAGE AS A RESULT. DESPITE THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE EXISTING THEY STATE MY VIN NUMBER ISN'T INCLUDED. MY PROBLEM AND VEHICLE MEET THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SPECIAL COVERAGE EXACTLY AND NOBODY CAN EXPLAIN WHY I'M NOT INCLUDED. IF YOU SEARCH ONLINE THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER GM OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME THING. THIS BLOWN OIL SEAL CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE AND LOSS OF POWER. HAD I BEEN ON THE INTERSTATE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. THE FACT GM KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND IS REFUSING TO ADDRESS IS MY ISSUE.

I TRIED TO RESTART IT AND IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK AND THEY LOOKED IT OVER THE NEXT DAY AND TOLD ME THAT I HAD DROPPED ALL OF MY OIL, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF 1/2 QUART, THE MECHANIC THEN TOLD ME THAT THE PCV PIPE WAS PLUGGED AND FORCED A LEAK AND BLEW CAUSING MY CAR TO LOSE ALL OF IT'S OIL. HE IS NOT A GMC DEALER SO HE CALLED THE NEAREST ONE, MCGRATH (FORMERLY BIRD CHEVROLET) IN DUBUQUE, IOWA AND THEY SAID THAT THAT HAS HAPPENED AND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THEM AND THAT THE CAR SHOULD BE TOWED THERE FOR REPAIR. ONCE THE MECHANIC AT MCGRATH, (RANDY) HAD TAKEN A LOOK AT THE CAR AND RAN MY VIN # HE STATED THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT BE COVERED, EVEN THOUGH THIS SAME THING IS PART OF A RECALL FOR THE SAME MAKE /MODEL/YEAR OF MY VEHICLE. HE SAID THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE MALFUNCTIONING OF THIS PART. SO FAR I HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR EMERGENCY TOWING, TOWING TO THE DEALER, AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, TOTALING $350.00 AND THERE'S BEEN NOTHING DONE YET TO MY VEHICLE.

"TAKATA RECALL" 2018 DECEMBER 22 I NOTICED MY ENGINE HAD A DEEP GROWL WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE, AFTER A WHILE IT WOULD QUIET DOWN. I CHECKED THE OIL AND THERE WAS NONE NOTICEABLE ON THE DIP STICK, NOR WAS THERE A WARNING ON MY CONSOLE TO ADD OIL. I ADDED OIL. I SCHEDULED AN OIL CHANGE ON 12/27 ( FIRST TIME ONE WAS AVAILABLE ) . I MENTIONED THE GROWL AND LACK OF OIL TO THE TECHNICIAN. HE STATED THAT THE 2013 TERRIAN WAS KNOWN TO HAVE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES AND TO CONTACT THE DEALER ASAP. SO I DID. AT THE DEAL ZIMBRICK - SUN PRAIRIE, WI THEY LOOKED UP MY VIN AND STATED THERE WERE NOT ISSUES RELATED TO MY VIN NUMBER. MY ONLY OPTION WAS TO REPLACE ENGINE PARTS AS NEEDED WHICH WOULD BE APPROX $3000 EXPENSE FOR ME OR KEEP OIL ON HAND AND MONITOR CLOSELY. I ASKED IF THERE WAS A WAY TO ESCALATE THIS ISSUE AND THEY SUGGESTED I LOOK UP THE GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE PHONE NUMBER ONLINE, AND CALL THEM SO I DID . I CALLED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE AND STARTED CLAIM # 9-49-45955696, ON 12/27/2018 . I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A 2 DAY WAIT FOR A FOLLOW UP CALL. I WAS CONTACTED BY LOGIN FROM GMC ON 12/31/0218, HE LEFT A MESSAGE AND I TRIED TO CALL BACK BUT WE WERE UNABLE TO CONNECT UNTIL 1/3/2019 WERE WE DISCUSSED THE ISSUE AND HE CONNECTED ME WITH ZIMBRICK GMC EAST MADISON. LOGIN DID INFORM ME THERE WAS A GMC WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE THAT WAS IN AFFECT UNTIL 12/31/2018, SO I AM GLAD I CALLED IN MY CLAIM ON 12/27/2018. WITH THE FACT THAT I HAD JUST HAD A NEW OIL CHANGE I WAS ASKED TO PUT ON 2000 MILES AND THEN COME IN TO START AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. SO THIS IS WHERE I STAND. I SURE HOPE WITH ALL I HAVE BEEN SEEING ONLINE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE WITH OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES THAT GMC STANDS BEHIND THIS ERROR AND FIXES IT AT THEIR EXPENSE.

MY CAR IS CONSUMING OIL FASTER THAN NORMAL.MY CAR WAS RATTLING AND I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, HE SAID THE GMC TERRAINS AND CHEVY EQUINOX IS CONSUMING MORE OIL THAN NORMAL. MY OIL INDICATOR SAID THE OIL WAS FINE, BUT HE SAID THE OIL WAS VERY LOW. HE TOLD ME TO CHECK THE OIL EVERY THREE TO FOUR WEEKS. HE ALSO GAVE ME TWO EXTRA QUARTS OF OIL. I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY CAR NEEDS AN OIL CHANGE QUITE OFTEN. WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY CAR, THE CAR WAS RATTLING AND WAS LURCHING FOWARD AT A STOP LIGHT, I THOUGHT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION, BUT IT IS THE OIL BEING CONSUMED AT A HIGHER RATE THAN NORMAL.

I PURCHASED MY 2013 GMC TERRAIN ON NOV 2, 2018. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED LESS THAN 2 WEEKS LATER. ON DEC 9, 2018, AFTER LEAVING CHURCH, MY HUSBAND & I STOPPED AT THE STORE. WHEN WE GOT READY TO LEAVE, I STARTED MY CAR & IT MADE A LOUD NOISE SO I TURNED IT OFF. I TRIED TO CRANK IT AGAIN & IT WOULD JUST SPIN. MY HUSBAND GOT OUT TO CHECK THE OIL & FOUND NO OIL ON THE DIPSTICK. IT WAS 2 QRTS LOW. NO WARNING OR ANYTHING. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED, TWICE, WE ARE BEING TOLD IT HAS JUMPED TIME. NOT ONLY WOULD WE NEED TO REPLACING THE TIMING CHANGE, BUT POSSIBLY THE VALVES AS WELL. MY HUSBAND CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALERSHIP & WAS TOLD, DUE TO COMPLAINTS, THE DEALERSHIP CAN REPLACE THE MOTOR & GMC WILL PAY THEM BACK. HOWEVER, MY CAR IS 1,000 MILES OVER THE MOTOR WARRANTY OR WHATEVER. THEY ARE RECOMMENDING ME GET ANOTHER ENGINE TO PUT IT. SO, WITH THE ENGINE, PLUS LABOR, I AM LOOKING AT $4.000 I DON'T HAVE TO SPEND. MY 2ND PAYMENT JUST CAME OUT OF MY ACCOUNT FOR A CAR I CAN'T DRIVE, NOR HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX. THE OIL LEVEL IS MOST LIKELY THE CAUSE OF THE TIMING CHAIN BREAKING. OBVIOUSLY GMC KNOWS THERE'S A PROBLEM & THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. MY CAR WAS SOLD AS IS, NO ADDITIONAL WARRANTY. LOVE THE CAR & WOULD RATHER HAVE IT FIXED, BUT MAY BE LETTING TO GO BACK & GO AGAINST MY CREDIT, BECAUSE OF THIS. VERY DISAPPOINTED GMC.

CONSUMING TOO MUCH OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AND NO INDICATION LIGHT COMES ON TO INFORM ME OF LOW OIL LEVELS

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN MAY 6 MONTHS AGO AND IT HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION MORE THAN ONE QUART IN 1000 MILES. THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHT JUST STARTED TAPPING IN THE ENGINE. GMC KNOWS ABOUT THIS IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE OR REBUILD THE ENGINE RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR. BECAUSE OF A KNOWN ISSUE.

SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE 2013 GMC TERRAIN ON 9/6/18 AT 93,100 THERE HAVE BEEN 2 OIL CHANGES AND TWO 2QT TOP OFFS WITH AN AVERAGE OF 1QT ADDED EVERY 1,000 MILES. THE SECOND TOP OFF SHOWED A WHITE SUBSTANCE INDICATING A POSSIBLE ISSUE RELATED TO PISTON RING WEAR. ON 12/5/18 REPAIRS WERE ASSESSED BY A LICENSED MECHANIC WHO FOUND NO OIL LEAK. BEFORE OIL TOP OFFS NO OIL CAN LIGHT ILLUMINATION WAS PRESENT AND CAR SHOWED OVER 50% OIL LIFE. MECHANIC STATED THAT REPAIRS WOULD NEED TO BE MADE IN ORDER TO FIX THE MASSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE.

POTENTIAL OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES. IN MAY 2018 NOTICED A KNOCKING/RATTLING IN ENGINE WHILE ACCELERATING AT SLOW SPEEDS. NOISE GREW LOUDER AND MORE CONSISTENT OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS. ON BOARD COMPUTER STATED REMAINING OIL LIVE WAS OVER 30%, HOWEVER NO OIL REGISTERED ON DIPSTICK. ADD OIL AND NOISE STOPPED. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT (JUNE) WITH THE DEALER TO HAVE THE ISSUE INVESTIGATED. THEY TOLD ME IF IT OCCURS AGAIN, NOT TO ADD OIL, RATHER BRING IT IN FOR A CONSUMPTION TEST. THEY DID NOT TELL ME HOW LOW MY OIL LEVEL WAS. NOVEMBER 2018 THE NOISE RETURNED. IMMEDIATELY TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR RECOMMENDED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. INFORM BY DEALER THAT VEHICLE WAS NO, LONGER COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY, THEY COULD NOT DO THE TEST. OIL CHANGED (EVEN THOUGH ON BOARD COMPUTER STATED 48% OIL LIFE REMAINING). READING OTHER REPORTS REGARDING THIS POTENTIAL ISSUE, WANTED TO ADD ONE MORE.

MY VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS APPROX. 54K MILES AND I BEGAN EXPERIENCING SERIOUS, DANGEROUS DEFECTS WITH THE VEHICLE ON 9/12/2018 WHEN I WAS BACKING OUT A PARKING STALL MY CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING. I WAS ABLE TO PLACE IT IN PARK THEN RESTART IT AND DRIVE ABOUT A MILE BEFORE IT SHUT OFF AGAIN AS I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT. I HAD TO COAST THE CAR ONTO A NEARBY STREET OUT OF TRAFFIC FOR MY AND MY SON'S SAFETY. I WAITED A FEW MOMENTS AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE ONCE MORE AND DROVE ABOUT 2 BLOCKS BEFORE IT SHUT OFF AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE GM DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT TO DETERMINE IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY RECALLS OR A WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO COVER TOWING AND DIAGNOSTIC FEES AND WAS NOT ENTITLED TO ANY TYPE OF WARRANTY COVERAGE. I HAD A TEST OF THE BATTERY PERFORMED WHICH CAME BACK THAT THE BATTERY WAS NOT GOOD. I PURCHASED A NEW BATTERY AND HAD IT INSTALLED THAT NIGHT. ALTHOUGH, I HAD A NEW BATTERY I HAD ANOTHER EPISODE OF THE CAR SHUTTING OFF WITH NO WARNING AFTER TRYING TO BACK OUT A PARKING STALL. IT WILL ALSO PERIODICALLY JERK AND HESITATE TO ACCELERATE AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. ON 10/22/18 AS I WAS ENTERING THE ON RAMP TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, THE CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING NOR LIGHT INDICATORS. I PUT IT IN PARK AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT SO THAT I CAN MOVE IT TO A SAFE LOCATION. THE CAR AGAIN WOULD FEEL JERKY AT LOW IDLE SPEEDS AND WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AS I WAS IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN A DANGEROUS ORDEAL AS A PREGNANT WOMAN WITH KIDS IN THE CAR, WHILE ON A FREEWAY OR ROAD I CAN EASILY BE HIT FROM BEHIND.

MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING BACK HOME FROM MONTGOMERY AL AND OUR GMC TERRAIN SLE 2013 SUDDENLY JUST TURNED OFF. WE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME AND AFTER OUR MECHANIC LOOKED OVER THE CAR HE CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN AND DO TO THE TYPE OF ENGINE IT WOULD HAVE DAMAGED VALUES AND POSSIBLY THE HEADS AND THAT IT WOULD BE BETTER TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ENGINE. AFTER DOING MY OWN RESEARCH I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE GMC TERRAIN 2.4L 4CLY ENGINE TIMING CHAIN BREAKING. MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DRIVING DOWN 167 TO ENTERPRISE AL, WE COULD HAVE LOST OUR LIVES BEING REAR-ENDED BY A SEMI. I CAN'T BELIEVE GM WOULD MAKE A VEHICLE WITH THIS DEFECT AND NOT PUT OUT A RECALL FOR THE TIMING CHAIN, IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND DISRESPECTFUL TO THE CONSUMER.

AT THAT TIME OUR MECHANIC INFORMED US THAT THE MOTOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I STARTED TO DO RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS ISSUE IS KNOWN BY GM. I CONTACT GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE IS OUTSIDE OF THE PARAMETERS THAT GM IS WILLING TO COVER. AFTER ADDITIONAL RESEARCH FOUND THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE WITH EQUINOXES AND TERRAINS. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED OUR TERRAIN AND WAS REFERRED BACK TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE, SO I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AGAIN, THE REPRESENTIVE WAS VERY RUDE AND AGAIN INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE OR I COULD FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA. I HAVE CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE 2 ADDITIONAL TIMES AS WELL AS THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO LUCK OF A RESOLUTION AND GM ACKNOWLEDGING THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE "SPECIAL WARRANTY" HOWEVER I AM OUTSIDE THE 120,000 MILES, PER THE GM REPRESENTATIVE I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO REPAIR OR REPLACE MY VEHICLE AS THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE DUE TO MY CURRENT MILEAGE.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF..THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THE ACCELERATION ISSUES..WHEN I GIVE THE GAS TO INCREASE SPEED IT HESITATE..AND SOMETIMES THE ENGINE RACES FOR NO REASON..AND WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE IT WILL NOT GO..IT GETS STUCK..I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK FOR A MINUTE THE PUT IT BACK INTO DRIVE THEN IT WILL GO.

CAR MAKES TERRIBLE ENGINE NOISE WHEN STARTING/AS IT IDLES. THIS IS ALMOST ALWAYS DUE TO LOW OIL.THIS CAR BURNS THROUGH OIL FASTER THAN ANYTHING IVE EVER SEEN. EVEN WITH FULL SYNTHETIC OIL I HAVE TO ADD AT LEAST QUART EVERY 700 MILES FOR SO. KEEPING THE OIL LEVEL UP HELPS OBV, HOWEVER THIS PROBLEM WAS GOING ON FOR SOME TIME BEFORE I FIGURED OUT THE CAR WAS CONSUMING OIL AT A SUPER FAST RATE. SO WHO KNOWS WHAT DAMAGE MAY BE INSIDE THE ENGINE AT THIS POINT. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TIMING CHAIN ON THE I4 ENGINES AND THEY BURN OIL BECAUSE THE TIMING IS OFF. HOWEVER GM'S ONLY FIX THUS FAR IS TO RUN AN OIL STUDY WHICH TAKES UP A LOT OF TIME.THIS IS ALSO HUGE PAIN WHEN DEALING WITH ANY DEALER, BECAUSE ONLY A GM DEALER CAN RUN THE TEST, AND EVEN IF IT IS FOUND THAT YOUR CAR IS BURNING OIL THEY WILL DETERMINE IT AS "NORMAL" IF IT'S NOT A SPECIFIC RATE. THERE'S NO WAY FULL SYNTHETIC SHOULD BE BURNING UP THIS QUICKLY. GM NEEDS TO DO A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT WILL NOT BECAUSE ONCE THEY TRULY FIX THE ISSUE IT WILL OPEN UP A CAN OF WORMS THAT WOULD COST THEM THOUSANDS. SO INSTEAD THE COST IS PASSED ON TO THE OWNER. IF THEY DO OFFER A FIX AFTER THE OIL STUDY IT'S ONLY FOR A PISTON RING KIT WHICH DOES NOT ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM OF THE BAD TIMING CHAIN. SO FAR THE ONLY RELIEF I HAVE FOUND IS TO TURN THE ECO MODE OFF. THIS GIVES A LITTLE RELIEF TO THE CONSTANT FILLING OF OIL. OTHER THAN THAT IF THE CAR IS LOW ON OIL YOU WILL FEEL A CHUGGING/ JERKING OF THE CAR, PARTICULARLY AT A STOP OR LOW IDLE. I LOVE THE LOOK OF GMC'S HOWEVER I DON'T THINK I CAN EVER BUY ONE AGAIN AFTER DEALING WITH AN ISSUE LIKE THIS AND HAVING GM NOT RECALL A WIDELY KNOW ISSUE.

I ENDED UP PAYING FOR A TOW TO A GM DEALERSHIP AND THEY LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE AND VERIFIED THAT COST WOULD BE $2200 TO MAKE THE REPAIRS AND VERIFIED THAT THE ISSUE IS THE SAME AS BULLETIN 14882. I HAVE OPENED UP A CASE WITH GM CUSTOMER CARE BUT HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE WITH THEM ON WHY MY VEHICLE IS NOT ADDED TO THE 14882 BULLETIN WHEN THEIR MECHANICS ARE SAYING ITS THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE GOTTEN A RUN AROUND FROM GM CUSTOMER CARE TEAM AND AN UNRETURNED CALL FROM MANAGEMENT ASKING TO FURTHER DISCUSS THE SPECIFICS ON WHAT MEETS THE BULLETIN 14882 AND WHY VEHICLE ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL. THE GM DEALERSHIP I TOOK MY VEHICLE TOO EVEN STATED THEY HAVE WORKED ON 4-5 OF THE SAME PCV VALVE FREEZE IN THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS. SOMEONE PLZ HELP!

DRIVING TO FAMILY DINNER ON CHRISTMAS DAY AND VEHICLE STALLED AND DIED ON SIDE OF ROAD IN -35 DEGREE WEATHER. NO INDICATION OF FAILURE, NO DASH WARNING INDICATORS. VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT POSTED SPEED LIMIT (55MPH) WHEN INCIDENT OCCURRED. ROAD CONDITIONS WHERE GOOD...SUNNY DAY. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP (WHEELER'S AUTOMOTIVE OF ABBOTSFORD, WI) AND, AFTER A DIAGNOSTIC, IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE CRANK SHAFT MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING A CONNECTING ROD TO GO THROUGH THE ENGINE BLOCK...A CATASTROPHIC MALFUNCTION WITHIN THE ENGINE ITSELF. CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIR COSTS (NEW ENGINE) AND WE WERE TOLD THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. OUR WARRANTY ENDED 08/30/2017 WITH 100,003 MILES. OUR VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 102,XXX MILES. OIL CHANGES WERE ALWAYS COMPLETED AT A GM CERTIFIED REPAIR CENTER (WHEELER'S OF MARSHFIELD, WI). THERE WAS NO INDICATED FROM A MECHANIC THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE OIL, AND THERE WAS NO DASH INDICATORS TO LET US KNOW AS CONSUMERS THERE WAS AN ISSUE. THIS IS A MALFUNCTION OF THE GM 2.4L DIRECT INJECTION ENGINE, AND THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED. COUNTLESS FAMILIES DEPEND ON A SAFE AND RELIABLE VEHICLE TO MAINTAIN THEIR HOUSEHOLD. PLEASE FIND ATTACHED AN EMAIL WITH GM CUSTOMER SERVICE, THE INFORMATION CAN BE REQUESTED AND OBTAINED THROUGH THE CONTACT INFORMATION THROUGH THEM. IF NEEDED WE CAN PROVIDE A SALES/REPAIR INVOICE AND PHONE RECORDS OF US CONTACTING GM CUSTOMER SERVICE MULTIPLE TIMES. PLEASE REPLY ASAP

WHILE DRIVING HOME I STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND NOTICED A KNOCKING SOUND IN LOW RPM RANGE. I CONTINUED THE REMAINING 1 MILE HOME. WHEN I GOT HOME AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE I COULD SMELL BURNING OIL. I LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF OIL ON THE GROUND AS WELL AS LOTS OF OIL DRIPPING FROM THE VEHICLE. AFTER HAVING A GM TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE PCV VALUE HAD CLOGGED/FROZEN CAUSING INCREASED PRESSURE IN THE CRANKCASE AND BLOWING OUT THE REAR MAIN OIL SEAL. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT WAS STATED IN A SERVICE BULLETIN (SB-10057977-8108) THAT GM HAS OUT. MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT COVERED WITH THIS BULLETIN FOR SOME REASON, BUT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS DRIVETRAIN. THE SERVICE BULLETIN (SB-10057977-8108) SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO COVER ALL VEHICLES WITH THE 2.4 LITER 4 CYLINDER ENGINE. MY VEHICLE IS JUST 2 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY AND GM IS ONLY OFFERING TO COVER 30% OF THE REPAIR COST. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED.

ALL THE OIL LEAKED OUT REAR OF ENGINE, WHILST PARKED AT WORKPLACE.CRANKCASE PRESSURE, MOISTURE BUILD UP, AND/OR SLUDGE BUILD UP. ACCORDING TO BULLETIN PIP5093A CAUSED BY COLD TEMPERATURE, IT GOT DOWN TO ABOUT 17 DEGREES HERE IN TEXAS. MECHANIC SAYS IT WILL COST $1,800.00TO REPAIR. GMC DEALER SAYS IT'S NOT A RECALL AND IS NOT COVERED. APPARENTLY, A LOT OF THE 2.4L ENGINES IN SEVERAL MODELS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM HAPPEN. AUTO HAS 90,000 MILES ON IT, AND I ONLY DRIVE ABOUT 10 MILES DAILY. ACCORDING TO GM BULLETINS THIS IS KNOWN TO THEM, AS IT HAS OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. I BELIEVE THAT GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AND REIMBURSE THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES FOR THESE EXPENSIVE REPAIRS.

THE VEHICLE CONSUMES OIL AT A RATE MUCH HIGHER THAN "NORMAL". BETWEEN MANUFACTURES RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE INTERVAL THE VEHICLE WILL CONSUME 40-50% OF THE ENGINES OIL CAPACITY. THIS IS DETERMINED TO NOT BE OUT OF SPECIFICATION IN REGARDS TO ISSUED SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THE VEHICLE, BUT IS NOT "NORMAL" OR STATED AS OPERATING AS DESIGNED BY THE GMC OPERATION MANUAL/DOCUMENTATION. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE RELATED TO IGNITION AND TIMING WHEREAS THE VEHICLE WILL NOT RUN/START/OR STALLS(CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR ISSUES). SERVICE BULLETINS ON THE SAME VEHICLE INDICATED EXCESSIVE WEAR ON TIMING CHAIN ASSEMBLIES(WHICH CAN LEAD TO TIMING ISSUES) AS A RESULT OF THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND UNDERGOING MULTIPLE OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS WHICH REVEALED OIL USAGE AT A RATE OF .4 - .5 QUARTS PER 1,500 MILES, IT WAS DETERMINED THE VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR COVERAGE UNDER THE ISSUED SERVICE BULLETIN.

THERE ARE SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE WHICH MAKES ME THINK THIS CAR WAS A LEMON, UNREPORTED BY ORIGINAL OWNER, OR IN A FLOOD; 1ST, THE REAR HATCH STRUTS WERE TOTALLY RUSTED OUT AND INOPERABLE (REINFORCING MY FLOOD THOUGHT.) 2ND, THE VEHICLES MPG IS NOWHERE NEAR THE ADVERTISED 22/32 - I MENTIONED MY CONCERN SEVERAL TIMES TO THE SERVICE DEPT, THE SALES MAN, AND THE CERTIFIED SALE MANAGER; THEIR SOLUTION - THEY RESET THE GAUGE ON THE DASHBOARD! 3RD, WITHIN DAYS OF MY PURCHASE, I NOTICED A KNOCK UNDER MY CAR THAT SOUNDED LIKE AN AXLE WAS GOING TO BUST THROUGH MY FLOORBOARD IT WAS KNOCKING SO HARD! AFTER NUMEROUS SERVICE REPAIR ATTEMPTS & VISITS BACK TO THE DEALER, ONE VISIT LASTING APPROXIMATELY 7 DAYS, THEY THINK THEY'VE FIXED THE PROBLEM. SECONDARY FUEL TANK FUEL PUMP MODULE - (CONTRIBUTING TO FUEL CONSUMPTION ISSUE?) 4TH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK, IN THE FAST LANE, @ 6AM ONE DARK, RAINY MORNING, DURING A TORRENTIAL DOWN POUR ALMOST CAUSING A MAJOR PILE UP! 5TH, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, STUMBLES AND MISFIRES ON ACCELERATION, SHUTS OFF WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. REPAIRED/SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS LATER. 6TH, THE CONTINUING ISSUES HAVE BEEN, BUT NOT LIMITED TO REDUCED ENGINE POWER, ROUGH IDLE, ENGINE SPUTTERS, HESITATES, POOR GAS MILEAGE, & EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. 7TH, ANOTHER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, NOW FUEL-INJECTORS NEED REPLACED (ANOTHER CONTRIBUTOR TO FUEL CONSUMPTION ISSUE?) . AFTER FURTHER REVIEW OF THE VEHICLE'S CPO PAPERWORK, THIS IS NOT THE CERTIFIED VEHICLE BEING REFERRED TO ON THE PAPERWORK. THERE ARE ITEMS CHECKED OFF ON THE REPORT THAT DO NOT APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE. I WOULD HAVE NEVER OVERPAID FOR A CPO VEHICLE HAD I KNOW THEIR "RIGOROUS STANDARDS" MEANT ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! I HAVE BOUGHT MANY CARS IN MY LIFE, BOTH NEW AND USED CARS AND NEVER HAD ANY OF THE ISSUES I AM HAVING WITH THIS VEHICLE!

THE VEHICLE HAS A HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION. EVERY 1K MILES IT CONSUMES ABOUT 1QT. I HAVE TO ADD OIL EVERY MONTH. I SEE A LOT OF THE SAME COMPLAINT OVER THE INTERNET REGARDING THE GMC TERRAIN 2010-2013 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM FROM FACTORY. GM RELEASED A BULLETIN BUT THERE IS NO RECALL.

2013 GMC TERRAIN WITH 119,000 MILES HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH GMC, CHEV AND BUICKS. THERE WAS A TSB ISSUED 13-06-01-003F. IN 2014, GM WAS FIXING ALL VEHICLES UNDER WARRANTY, UNFORTUNATELY MINE DID NOT OCCURE UNTIL THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. I HAD CHANGED MY OIL EVERY 5,000 TO 7,000 MILES USING THE SYNTHETIC BLEND RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. WHEN TRYING TO START MY VEHICLE, ALL CHECK ENGINE, LIGHTS, ETC CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO POWER SHUT DOWN MODE, WHICH LUCKILY MY VEHICLE WASN'T MOVING.

I HAVE A 2013 GMC TERRAIN. I BOUGHT IT USED IN 2014. IT HAD ONE PREVIOUS OWNER. WHEN I BOUGHT THIS CAR, I DIDN'T NOTICE THE ABNORMAL NOISE IT MAKES. WHILE THE CAR IS EITHER IN DRIVER OR REVERSE, IT MAKES A WEIRD TICKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE FRONT HOOD. THE NOISE GOES AWAY IN PARK. HOWEVER, THE NOISE CAN ONLY BE HEARD WHEN THE CAR IDOLS AT A CERTAIN RPM. THE CAR MAKES A RATTLE LIKE SOUND WHEN THE RPMS ARE LOW, LIKE BETWEEN 500 TO 1500. FOR EXAMPLE: WHEN I'M CRUISING DOWN TOWN AT SPEEDS OF ABOUT 25-45MPH, I CAN HERE THE RATTLE SOUND. WHEN I BACK INTO MY GARAGE, THE NOISE CAN BE HEARD EVEN LOUDER BECAUSE THE GARAGE AMPLIFIES THE SOUND. WHEN I USE CRUISE CONTROL TO ACCELERATE, IT DOES NOT MAKE THIS NOISE. ONLY WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. WHEN I TAKE MY FOOD OFF THE GAS, OR SPEED UP, THE SOUND GOES AWAY. IT'S NOT A LOW OIL TICK SOUND. IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT, LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE AND RATTLING. THIS NOISE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE BUT IT TOOK ME A WHILE TO REALIZE IT.

LESS THAN A MONTH AGO, WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 95 IN THE LEFT LANE DURING RUSH HOUR THE ENGINE BLEW ON A 2 YEAR OLD GMC TERRAIN. HOW THIS IS AT ALL POSSIBLE I HAVE NO CLUE, BUT LUCKILY ENOUGH I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COAST OVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER AND AWAIT FOR A TOW TRUCK. BELOW IS THE BACKGROUND INFORMATION, AS WELL AS THE HEADACHE I HAVE HAD TO UNDERGO SINCE THIS HAPPENED. -1 MONTH PRIOR TO THE ENGINE BEING BLOWN I HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR A 5,000 MILE CHECK-UP -NIGHT BEFORE THE INCIDENT THERE WAS A FLUTTERING NOISE HEARD FROM THE ENGINE, SO PLANNED ON TAKING TO SHEEHAN THE NEXT MORNING AT APPROXIMATELY 9:30 AM ON 3/17/2015 WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 95 IN THE LEFT LANE DURING RUSH HOUR AND THE RPMS DROPPED TO ZERO -WITNESS SOMETHING THAT LOOKED LIKE OIL LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE WAS TOLD TO SHEEHAN BUICK GMC WHERE THEY LOOKED AT IT AND THE NEXT DAY REPORTED THAT THE ENGINE BLEW, A ROD TO THE PISTON SNAPPED AND TORE A HOLE THROUGH THE SIDE OF THE ENGINE -WAS TOLD BY SERVICE MANAGER THAT WHEN THE ENGINE WENT IT "GRENADE" INSIDE AND RESULTED IN LONGER TO FIX AND REPLACING MORE PARTS LIKE A MANIFOLD. -SINCE IT WAS FIXED I HAD NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO TAKE THE CAR BACK I LEFT THE SHOP AND GOT ON INTERSTATE 95 FOR ABOUT 10 MILES WHEN I NOTICED THE CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT ON IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO SHEEHAN AND TOOK THE LOANER BACK -WAS TOLD NOW HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL INJECTORS -2 WEEKS AFTER THAT WEEK REPAID ENGINE LIGHT ON AGAIN FOR A WIRE HARNESS. *TR

I HAD JUST PURCHASED THE 2013 GMC TERRAIN DENALI AND NOTICED THAT IT HAS A BOGGING SENSATION IN THE STEERING AT IDLE WHEN TURNING. IT FEELS LIKE THE STEERING IS GOING TO CUT OUT - ALMOST LIKE NOT FULLY ENGAGING THE CLUTCH ON A MANUAL TRANSMISSION WHEN THE ENGINE IS ABOUT TO DIE. VERY NOISY AND ANNOYING IN THE TIGHT PARKING GARAGE WHEN YOU HAVE TO TURN THE STEERING AT A STANDSTILL DURING IDLE. THERE IS A TICKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE DASH THAT SOUNDS LIKE A CONSTRUCTION WORKER JACKHAMMERING ABOUT 1 BLOCK AWAY WITH THE WINDOWS UP. IT CAN ALSO BE DESCRIBED AS A HELICOPTER HOVERING OVERHEAD AT AROUND 200-300 FEET. YOU CAN ONLY HEAR IT FROM INSIDE THE CAB. I SHOULD HAVE NOTICED THIS DURING THE TEST DRIVE, EXCEPT THAT THE RADIO WAS ON AND THERE WERE NO TIGHT STEERING SITUATIONS. I WAS TOLD THAT BOTH OF THESE ITEMS ARE NORMAL BY THE GMC DEALER. BE SURE TO TEST OUT THESE TWO SCENARIOS WHEN TEST DRIVING. TOO LATE FOR ME, AND UNFORTUNATELY I HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT BUT WOULD RATHER NOT. *TR
