Consumer Description
This vehicle has major engine problems. It stalls, bucks shakes violently when stopping at a traffic light or stop sign. It does this when put in reverse. It was so bad that the engine and transmission was replaced. 2 days after that it was doing the exact same thing. It's a defect in the engine design that I found out between 2010 and 2015 GMC terrains. This thing stalls on the highway, loses power. Goes into reduced power mode check engine light comes on. Burns oil like it's drinking it. This thing is going to get somebody killed. I did research and found at least 50 other people complain about the exact same thing. People were changing sensors and everything else on the engine with no help whatsoever. It's a defect in GMC's engine design on these models.
