NHTSA Complaint #11075006 — 2012 GMC TERRAIN

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THIS SUV, IT WAS FINE. THEN TWO YEARS INTO HAVING THIS VEHICLE I HAD TO KEEP PUTTING OIL INTO IT. IT TURNS OUT THAT THIS YEAR CAR HAS AN OIL COMSUPTION RECALL. HOWEVER, I HAD TO GO IN FOR A TEST, I ALMOST RAN OUT OF OIL WITHIN A WEEK MY CAR WOULD STALL ON THE HIGHWAY, I WAS ALSO REAR ENDED BECAUSE IT WOULD OUT OF OIL WHEN IT WASN'T SUPPOSE TO. IN DEC 2017 I TOOK THE CAR IN AND GOT THE CAR RECALL DONE WHICH WAS NO CHARGE TO ME. HOWEVER, TWO DAYS AFTER THE RECALL WAS DONE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH IS CAPPELLINO BUICK GMC IN WILLIAMSVILLE AND THEY CHARGED ME THE 119 TO DIANOGSIS THE CAR AND TELL ME THAT IT WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. HE TOLD ME THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS NOT COVERED ENOUGH THOUGH HE STATES THAT THEY KNOW THAT THE ENGINE CONSUMPTION RECALL MADE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER GET CLOGGED. I HAVE CHANGED MY O2 SENSOR TWICE AND I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO CHANGE IT AGAIN BECAUSE ONCE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER GOES, TYPICALLY THE O2 SENSORS GO AS WELL. IF YOUR CAR IS CONSUMING A LOT OF OIL, BLOWING BLACK SMOKE AND IT IS A GMC TERRAIN (NO MATTER THE YEAR), GET IT CHECKED, HONESTLY, I AM NOT BEING OVERDRAMATIC, IT COULD BE LIFE OR DEATH. IF YOU HAVE KIDS AND YOU HAVE THE CAR, GO FOR A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST ASAP. MY CAR STALLED OUT ON THE HIGHWAY, STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS, EVEN WHEN NOT COMPLETELY STOPPED OR PERFORMING A "ROLLING STOP".
