Consumer Description
2017 GMC Terrain motors consume oil at an excessive rate (1 quart per 1,000 miles). Getting an oil change every 5,000 miles, even consistently, puts the engine at risk for major internal failure and safety risks to the passengers. My engine in my 2017 GMC Terrain has a broken timing chain and internal damage due to the excessive oil consumption issue. The engine will have to be replaced. GM has known about this issue for years. GM is in several lawsuits for this issue, but GM has failed to recall the parts of the motor that are excessively consuming oil. They refuse to help cover repair costs even though the costs are due to their poorly designed motor.
