Consumer Description

MY 2013 GMC TERRAIN DIED WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, IT WAS FOUND TO HAVE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, NONE OF THE WARNING LIGHTS IN THE CAR CAME ON NOT EVEN THE OIL LIGHT TO INDICATE LOW OIL. THE CAR HAD BAD PISTON RINGS WHICH WAS PART OF THE CAUSE. GM KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT DIDN'T PROPERLY NOTIFY EVERYONE INVOLVED. I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE UNTIL IT HAPPENED TO ME & LATER RECEIVED A LETTER STATING MY CAR WAS INADVERTENTLY LEFT OUT OF THE INITIAL SCA. THE FACT THAT THESE CARS DIE WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE CHILDREN THAT WERE IN THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENED WE ARE LUCKY WE DIDN'T HIT ANYONE AND NO ONE HIT US. GM HAS BEEN UNWILLING TO HELP WITH ANY OF THIS
