Consumer Description
OWN 2014 GMC TERRAIN WITH 56K MILES ON IT, HAVE HAD THE CAR TWO YEARS AND HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES. FIRST INCIDENT, WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY IN RAIN WIPERS JUST SHIFT OFF. ALMOST WRECKED TRYING PULL OFF SIDE OF THE ROAD. COST $300 FOR NEW MOTOR. 2ND ISSUE HAD TO HAVE A SENSOR REPLACED BECAUSE CAR BURNED EXCESSIVE OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES, WITH NO INDICATION OF LOW OIL. FRIED THE SENSOR. 3RD ISSUE, A REPEAT OF THE 2ND CAR WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED ON HIGHWAY, STABILTRAK LIGHT CAME ON, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SPEEDOMETER STOPPED IMMEDIATELY, I CHECKED OIL. WASN'T BONE DRY. DROVE IT STRAIGHT HOME AND WAS IN EVEN WORSE CONDITION REVERSING INTO DRIVEWAY. THE OIL EXPLODED ALL OVER DRIVEWAY, HAD IT TOWED TO PRIVATE MECHANIC. NOW I HAVE TO PUT A WHOLE NEW ENGINE IN BECAUSE GM IS NEGLIGENT WITH ISSUING RECALLS. OIL WAS LEAKING FROM RINGS ALL THE WAY OUT TO THE EXHAUST. FAULTY OIL SYSTEM AND NO WARNING FRIED MY ENGINE. STILL OWE 15,000$ IN THE CAR. THIS SHOULDN'T EVER HAPPEN ON A CAR WITH SO LOW MILES AND PROPER UPKEEP. GLAD I'M STUCK WITH 15K ON A LOAN AND A CAR THAT ISN'T RELIABLE. VERY DISAPPOINTED. *TR
