We have 2011 GMC Terrain. We bought it used so we have only had it a couple years. We noticed it seemed to be using a little more oil but then we were told to keep watch on it. My husband did. Then one day while I was driving it I thought I had heard a faint clicking noise. I said that car isn’t going anywhere until it’s fixed. Little did we know it wouldn’t ever start again. We didn’t know about a so call recall or not a recall. Still until we had to have it towed in to be fixed, I heard it mentioned. By then the car was repaired at our expense of $8000+. We are retired and don’t have or didn’t have money for that repair. The only reason we had a little money was because my husband got paid for back (lump sum) payment just...

SUV gets a slow down warning and it stops shuts off , it’s happened several times now I’m scared!!you wait few minutes it turns back on , mechanic said this a complain about this vehicle all the time , it has not been repaired I’m disabled with no money , I was on the highway and thank God I was on the slow lane if not I would have been killed by an eighteen wheeler. GMC is waiting for someone to die and probably address this issue
Two of the valves failed and the dealership told me it was likely due to a manufacturer’s defect.
Engine Failure: Timing chain had excessive slack causing guide to be sheared off. Timing chain guide bolt was completely stripped requiring both the timing chain and cylinder head to be replaced. Safety: The vehicle stalled while driving Problem: Problem was confirmed by a dealer Warnings: The check engine light came on as the vehicle stalled
continuous excessive oil issues burns and uses 3-5 quarts of oil every week to 2 weeks causing engine issues slow acceleration lurching and chugging issues with engine won’t downshift or upshift correctly transmission seizing issues have spent 1000s of dollars trying to fix this issue and mechanic has said it’s just a commen issues with this make and model and year range just have to keep pouring oil in each week which is costly and eventually will cause my engine and transmission to fail.
My car wouldn’t start, later found out it was due to timing chain issue which ended up blowing up my engine. I live 40 minutes from work and am consistently driving on the interstate for at least an hour a day. GM said there’s nothing they can do even though there’s been class action lawsuits for the engine. My car has also had oil consumption problems. I bought my car in March of 2022. The engine blew up by November 2022. I barely got my car back in September 2023. After the engine replacement, still wouldn’t turn on, over heated immediately when I did get it back. After paying $7440 for the engine replacement I had to fork over snother $650 to replace the fuel pump control module, and an engine control unit. My car overheated AGAIN just 2 weeks ago!!!!

I bought this vehicle and NHTSA made GM release an extended warranty on this vehicle for excessive loss of engine oil. In 2019 I had to take this vehicle and pay several thousand dollars for the pistons to be replaced in my engine because I was 1 year past the extended warranty. Now 3 years after spending thousands of dollars through a certified GM store I am having the same problem excessive loss of engine oil. I have zero leaks and I have to put oil in my engine every other day. If I do not by the end of the week I will have an empty engine.
Ok so my 2011 GMC terrain just went over 150,000 miles I bought this vehicle used from a dealership not knowing that there was a big lawsuit or that GMC continuted making this make and model knowing that it had a oil usage problem. So mmm mmm with that being said let's start with my vehicle uses oil, my vehicle idles high low and always rough at times, my service stabilitrak flashes, my motor sounds like a HEMI kock knock knock instead of a 2.4, doesn't matter where I'm at or where I'm going I let off of the gas and my car dies.... Let me clarify on that last one me and my 9 year old daughter we're headed home today let off the gas to go around a curve and a hill and you guesswd it my 2011 GMC TERRAIN died I lost all control and all power...
My wife and I on an Interstate Highway when the Check Engine light came on and the vehicle started slowing down. The message "Engine Power Reduced" came up on the dashboard display. My wife was driving and started pulling off the highway. As we left the driving surface, the car cut off. After a few minutes, the vehicle restarted and we drove home (about 12 miles). We took the vehicle to a mechanic who told us the oil was low. No low oil or low oil pressure lights had illuminated before this incident. He also stated that the timing chain would have to be changed and that this was a recurring problem on the GMC Terrain. I have not had any work done to the vehicle as yet. GMC should have a recall for this problem as I have seen many reports on the internet since it happened to us...

THE CONSUMER TRADED THE VEHICLE IN AT A LOSS OF NEARLY 5,000.00. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE COMPENSATED FOR LOSS DUE TO DISCOVERING A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR THE FAILURE.
Was driving the car and all of a sudden a bunch of lights came on the dash called the dealership where I got it from to get fix and they said sorry they can’t help and then have blocked my number from communication. I can’t drive my car so I don’t know what to do at this point
Was driving home from work had a half tank of gas no lights or anything came on, car just shut off was not able to start it from that point. I spoke with car lot to whom I'm making payments with and not able to get anything done with the vehicle. Now I've lost my job and I'm about to be homeless due to this mechanic problem on this vehicle.
In March of 2019. My 2011 GMC Terrain shut down while I was driving. No warning lights, sounds or any prior problems to indicate that the engine was no longer going to function. It was a miracle I wasn't driving on a multiple highway, which could have resulted in a serious multiple collision with catastrophic results. I had the vehicle towed to a mechanic shop. The engine due to internal oil consumption was replaced. For two and a half years I consistently had required oil changes. Then the exact thing happened again. In December 2021; my 2011 GMC Terrain completely shut down while driving.I again had to have it towed to the same mechanics, and was told the exact same problem occurred internal consumption of burning oil causing timing chain failure. So I had to have yet another engine replaced in this vehicle making it engine #4 in the exact...

The 2.4l ecotec motor has had so many complaints not only for gmc terrain but also the Chevy equinox. The motor just stops and lose everything while driving! I was in traffic and it stop almost causing an accountant God I wasn't hurt! Now I have this car with a blown motor because it's a no tolerance motor. We spend so much money on these vehicles and spend so much to keep them safe for driving on the road and yet when it comes to the company cutting corners to save money they don't get faulted for putting faulty equipment in these vehicles. I have a 2011 terrain and I bought it in 2019 for 9000 and drove it a month before the motor blew it has less then 100000 miles on it and for me to get a new motor it's another 5000. I just don't understand why if...
Engine has had High Oil consumption for years I been changing oil every 1500 to 2000 miles, My GMC dealer nor did GMC inform me that there is an issue with this vehicle even when i had an extended warranty and the car has been in for service many times at my local dealership for it. now it will cost as much as a new engine to fix. GMC needs to make there products better and honor there mistakes,

My car is burning oil between oil changes. Oil changed regularly every 3,000 miles for the past 11 years. Worried about motor blowing up and being stranded somewhere due to the oil consumption.Oil life still showing 42% on panel and burnt oil on the crossing part on oil stick only.. Contacted Dealership about a Class Action Settlement which I was unaware of cause I didn't get a notice of settlement it was to late and expired..told me my warranty for this was over and they couldn't help me unless I pay 3,500.00 for new piston's. No warning light nor messages, car over heated and engine smoking..Had to put more oil in to get by..6 months ago when it all started.
Uncertain. Engine power is reduced stall while driving common issues I’ve read about is throttle body and it’s sensor
I have owned this car for a little over year and have had nothing but issues. The car started on fire with an electrical issues once, the car has just stopped running on me multiple times while I was driving, almost causing a wreck. The engine goes through Oil like crazy. I've had it back to the dealership multiple times and never get a fix. I believe this vehicle is a true lemon.
The timing chain is run by oil pressure. This engine burns so much oil that I have put in 6quarts in 1 month. If not continually checking and adding oil the vehicle stalls in traffic.
The original Engine blew a piston rod and cracked my engine in the middle of the freeway , had to have vehicle towed to a shop and whole engine replaced with a new one. This could have caused a huge accident or even caught fire. I had no previous issue or light on the engine prior to this happening. Oil had been changer regularly , Tune ups, and any additional required maintenance, The Manufacturer has not wanted to take any responsibility or assist in compensating any of the cost . I have been fighting this for well over 2 years
The contact owns a 2011 GMC Terrain. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 MPH, the stability track control warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle jerked and hesitated. The contact was able to coast to the side of the road and the vehicle stalled. The contact attempted to restart the vehicle 2-3 times before being able to proceed driving. The contact stated that while stopped at the next traffic light, the vehicle stalled again. The vehicle was restarted however, while driving the vehicle failed to exceed 40 MPH. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who stated that the spark plug and coil needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure persisted. The contact took the vehicle to another certified mechanic who diagnosed that the spark plugs needed to be replaced because sensors within the vehicle, due to the excessive oil...
Purchased this vehicle in November 2020 and 7 months later was coming home from a trip, there was a ticking noise got louder and faster and then a pop. Took vehicle to a mechanic spun bearings and rods and crankcase was completely dry There were no leaks or evidence of oil These vehicles are known to have excessive oil consumption. I believe that the blown engine was a direct result of oil consumption
Vehicle has been burning up to 3 quarts of oil every 1,500 miles. This has been an ongoing issue for years. In 2020 a GM dealer serviced/repaired the vehicle to correct the issue; the vehicle only had approximately 60,000 miles at the time. The issue returned around 20,000 miles after the repair. Neither an instrument panel light nor a OBDII code appears when the oil is low. When the oil is low the vehicle stalls when making a turn and also jitters and jerks while idling. I am put in a dangerous situation when the vehicle stalls (especially on the freeway service roads).
Timing chain either broke or jumped track while driving and car shut off while vehicle was in motion. Had to have it towed home and will not start ever since. I hear alot of complaint with this type of motor with oil use and timing with results of destroying engine completely and not having money to fix after paying alot of money for this vehicle. GM needs to take responsibility for their faulty 2.4l ecotec motor and issue a recall to those affected by this faulty engine. I was driving a busy street in my home town when the car just shut off while in motion. Lost all power to the vehicle and could have crashed or been hit or worse been seriously injured or fatally injured. Please take responsibility and fix the problems created by faulty equipment! I had purchased from used lot and broke down same month I...
The engine locked up while driving on the interstate rendering it inoperable and undrivable. There were no warning signs (ie. leaks, noises, overheating, etc.). The vehicle now needs an entirely new or used engine and is unrepairable.
Service stabilitrak pops up, engine goes into reduced power mode. Third time happening and dealership has done nothing to fix it besides charge me money. Car has 96k miles at this point and I’ve spent more money to fix it than it’s worth.
DUE TO A FAULTY PCV DESIGN MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A REAR MAIN SEAL FAILURE. IT WAS EXTERNALLY COLD. THE SAME AS IN BULLETIN 14882. GMC STATES THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED.
ODB CODE P0014/P0017 IS A GMC RECALL AND I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO BRING IT AND LET YOU GUYS FIX IT BECAUSE IT IS BECOMING A PROBLEM!
CAR RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I AM ON THE HIGHWAY OR DRIVING THROUGH THE CITY, ALSO ENGINE POWER REDUCED MODE. THROWS RANDOM CODES EVEN AFTER CODES HAVE BEEN SERVICED. WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR CLOSE TO 2 YEARS WITH NO RESOLVE. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION WE HAVE FOUND THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT ISSUE.
MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN HAVING TO COMMON OIL CONSUMPTION MEANING I CHECKED THE OIL EVERY TIME I GOT FUEL. THIS LAST TIME I WENT TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL THE DIPSTICK WAS UNDER SO MUCH PRESSURE IT SHOT TWENTY FEET INTO THE AIR WHEN THE HOOD OPENED. I THEN DROVE THE VEHICLE FROM THE GAS STATION BACK HOME AND THIS TIME TOOK THE OIL FILL CAP OFF AND WHEN I TURNED THE CAP A QUARTER TURN IT BLEW OFF INTO THE AIR FOLLOWED BY BURNING HOT OIL DROPLETS AND STEAM. WHEN I RUN THE VEHICLE FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME THE OIL DRAIN BACK SYSTEM BUILDS MORE PRESSURE THEN THE COOLING SYSTEM EVENTUALLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL UNDER LOAD SUCH AS WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. WHEN THE VEHICLE DOES STALL IT WILL TAKE FROM 2-10 MINUETS TO RESTART.
WHILE DRIVING ALONG WITH ONGOING TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE STOPS AND ALMOST CAUSED ME AN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS.

ON 08/05/2020 I WAS SOLD THIS VEHICLE WITH A CRACKED MANIFOLD. UPON REPLACEMENT OF THE MANIFOLD IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT TWO MANIFOLD BOLTS WERE SEARED ON THE ENGINE BLOCK SIDE. AFTER CONSULTING MY MECHANIC AND ANOTHER, I WAS ADVISED THAT 1) TO REPAIR THE ENGINE HAS TO BE LIFTED AS THE SPACE BETWEEN THE FIREWALL AND THE ENGINE IS TOO SMALL TO MAKE REPAIRS WITHOUT LIFTING THE ENGINE ( MANUFACTURE DEFECT) . FURTHER, IT WAS ADVISED TO ME THAT COMPLETELY SEALING THE MANIFOLD COULD LEAD TO A FIRE IN THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER BECAUSE ' THESE ENGINES RUN HOT'. AS I EXPRESSED THAT THIS VEHICLES 'ANTIFREEZE' LEVEL IS NOT STABLE AS I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH OTHER VEHICLES.

PROVEN OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM ON MY CAR AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS LEADING TO A CLASS ACT WHICH HAS FAILED JUST ABOUT EVERYONE. CAR IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND THESE CARS REQUIRE A NEW ENGINE AMONG OTHER FIXES IN ORDER TO AVOID THE ENGINE BLOWING. MY ENGINE BLEW ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO WARNING DESPITE REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE. THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED BY GM AND THEY ARE STILL NEGLIGENT TO THE ISSUE. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY GOING AROUND 70 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE BLEW. THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN OIL LIGHT SIGNIFYING LOW OIL WHICH DID NOT GO OFF AS WELL AS DOING 3 OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS MANDATED BY GM IN ORDER FOR THEM TO DO ANY REPAIRS. ALL WERE FAILED TESTS AND GM STILL PUSHED FOR MORE TESTS THAT REQUIRED ME TO KEEP DRIVING IT. DESPITE THE FAILED TESTS THEY...
