2012 GMC TERRAIN Engine Problems

2012 GMC TERRAIN MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHEN PRESSING ACCELERATION PEDAL. I HABE CHANGED OIL, PLUGS AND BELTS BUT STILL CAN'T FIND SOURCE OF TAPPING. ALSO MY TIRES ARE NEW, LESS THEN A YEAR AND CONSTANTLY SHOW LOW PRESSURE. I HAVE CHECKED FOR NAILS BUT NONE FOUND.

THIS ENGINE BURNS THROUGH OIL AT AN ACCELERATED RATE. MY CAR HAS 48,000 MILES ON IT AND THE ENGINE IS ALMOST DEAD. THE CAR STALLS OR SHUTS OFF WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, STOP SIGN ETC.

REAR MAIN SEAL BLOWN DUE TO CONDENSATION FREEZING IN SUCH COLD TEMPERATURES. THIS HAPPENED ON MY 10 MINUTE DRIVE HOME FROM WORK. ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF AND HASN'T BEEN RESTARTED. MECHANIC STATED THERE WERE AT LEAST 4 OTHER VEHICLES THIS WEEK WITH THE SAME ISSUE, WITHIN TWO SHOPS. A RECALL ON CERTAIN VEHICLES WAS ISSUED, BUT NOT MINE. I WOULD LIKE THIS TO AT LEAST BE INVESTIGATED TO POSSIBLY EXPAND THIS RECALL. CAR WILL NOT GET FIXED UNTIL AT LEAST TUESDAY, AS THEY ARE SHORT ON THE BOLT KIT DUE TO HIGH DEMAND. THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

VEHICLE WAS JERKING AT A RED LIGHT WITH FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE. THIS HAPPENED AT THE BASE OF A HILL ON A CITY STREET. I WASN'T SURE IF THE CAR WOULD LURCH INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AS IT STARTED DRIVING AGAIN, IT BEGAN TO MAKE A RATTLING AND KNOCKING NOISE. CAR THEN DROPPED A HUGE AMOUNT OF OIL ON CONCRETE. IT LOST POWER IN LOWER SPEED. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO LIMP HOME WITH THE CAR. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AS IT WASN'T DRIVABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED. BOTH THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT INFORM THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS A SPECIAL RECALL ON THE VEHICLE REGARDING EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION CAUSED BY AN OIL RING MALFUNCTION. THE MALFUNCTION CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SEIZE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CARBONE BUICK GMC OF UTICA (5700 HOATIO ST, UTICA, NY 13502, (888) 471-8416) WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD 2,000 MILES OVER THE 100,000 MILE LIMIT TO BE COVERED UNDER THE SPECIAL RECALL. THE DEALER, AFTER CHECKING WITH THE MANUFACTURER, OFFERED TO PAY FOR ONE THIRD OF THE COST TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THE REPAIR WOULD COST $4,000. THE VEHICLE REMAINED AT THE DEALER AND HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED BY HIS STATE'S ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000.

REAR MAIN SEAL LEAK, PVC VALVE FREEZES FROM WATER CONDENSATION AND LOW TEMPERATURES: CAUSING CRANK CASE GASES TO BECOME HIGHLY PRESSURIZED AND BLOW OUT THE REAR MAIN SEAL OF THE ENGINE CAUSING A MASSIVE OIL LEAK ON THE ROAD TO THE REAR TIRES POSSIBLY CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL TO THE REAR WHEELS CAUSING THE POSSIBILITY OF A FATAL LOSS OF CONTROL VEHICLE ACCIDENT. OTHER POSSIBILITIES OIL COATING ENTIRE UNDERCARRIAGE OF VEHICLE CAUSING A VEHICLE FIRE, CATISTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL, ENVIROMENTAL IMPACT 5 QUARTS OF OIL ON THE HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE RESTARTED, BUT STALLED AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. ADVANTAGE CHEVROLET OF BOLINGBROOK (LOCATED AT 115 S WEST FRONTAGE RD, BOLINGBROOK, IL 60440, (630) 243-4460) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

I ALSO HAVE A 2012 GMC TERRAIN THAT HAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE THAT HAS CAUSED COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. APPROXIMATELY 2.5 WEEKS AGO THE CAR WOULDNT START. ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT START. I THOUGHT THAT IT MIGHT BE THE FUEL PUMP. HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC SINCE IT HAS 87K MILES AND OUT OF WARRANTY. SO I WENT TO CHECK THE STATUS OF THE CAR AND THE FIRST THING I WAS TOLD WAS THERE WAS NO OIL WHEN THEY CHECKED IT. THEY ADDED 4 QUARTS BEFORE TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. MIND YOU THE OIL WAS CHANGED 3K MILES AGO AND OIL LIFE MONITOR SAID IT HAD 54% LIFE LEFT. THEY RAN THE CAR FOR CODES AND THE ONLY CODE THAT CAME UP WAS FOR THE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM, ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE TERRAIN. NO ISSUE WAS FOUND WITH FUEL PUMP OR SENSORS. SPARK PLUGS WERE...

WHEN I HAVE MY ECO LIGHT AT STOPPING OR SITTING IT WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE OR LIKE IT STALL OR WANTS TO CUT OFF CUT OFF. WHEN THE ECO IS TURNED I DON'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM. THE ENGINE IS NOTOWN WHAT IS THIS PROBLEM? THIS HAPPENS ON STREET NOT THE HIGHWAY ON WHEN SITTING AT A STOP.

JANURARY 7TH 2018 MY 2012 GMC TERRAIN RAN OUT OF OIL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ALREADY FIXED 6 MONTHS PRIOR FOR SPECIAL ADJUSTMENT COVERAGE 16118 WHICH HAD PISTONS, PISTON RINGS, TIMING CHAIN ETC. FIXED TO REPAIR THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE (SEE ADJUSTMENTS 14882 AND 16118. COVERAGE 14882 IS A RESULT OF FAILURE TO CORRECTLY FIX THE 16118 AND IS A DIRECT RESULT OF 14882 AND GMC STATES THEY WILL COVER ME IF THIS HAPPENS. GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS MY VIN # IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS COVERAGE. IF ITS THE SAME EXACT ISSUE FOR (MODEL/ENGINE) WHY WOULD VIN # MATTER? ON TOP OF THAT I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER (DEALERSHIP B) AS I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO LETS CALL IT DEALERSHIP A SO MANY TIMES BEFORE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. DEALERSHIP B FILLED IT WITH OIL AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. I TOLD THEM TO MAKE SURE...

I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, EXITED THE VEHICLE, WALKED 10-20 STEPS FROM THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE RESTARTED ITSELF. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. PLEASE ADD THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE TO THE RECALL LIST.

I PARKED, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR AND A HALF BEFORE I RE-ENTERED THE VEHICLE TO RETRIEVE SOME ITEMS FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. AS I CLOSED THE DOOR AND USED THE KEY FOB TO LOCK THE VEHICLE, IT RESTARTED ITSELF. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT IT IS NOT THEIR ISSUE AND THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. PLEASE ADD THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE TO THE RECALL CALL LIST FOR THIS ISSUE PRIOR TO PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGES OCCURRING.

THIS VEHICLE CONTINUES TO RESTART ITSELF AFTER I HAVE EXITED AND LOCKED THE VEHICLE. THEY KEYS ARE NOT IN THE IGNITION, THE KEYS ARE IN MY HAND. PLEASE PUT THIS VEHICLE ON THE RECALL LIST AND MAKE THINGS RIGHT. THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS.

I PARKED MY VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY. UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE I USED THE KEY FOB TO LOCK THE VEHICLE, IT BEEPED AND BEGAN TO WALK AWAY. AS I WAS ABOUT 10 STEPS FROM THE VEHICLE, IT BEEPED AGAIN AS IF I HIT THE FOB AND RESTARTED ITSELF. IT LITERALLY RESTARTED ITSELF. THEY KEYS WERE NOT IN THE IGNITION, THEY WERE IN MY HAND. I WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE USING THE KEY FOB AND HAD TO MANUALLY OPEN THE DOOR USING THE ACTUAL KEY IN THE DOOR LOCK. I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF BY REINSERTING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I WIGGLED THE SHIFTER AND THE CAR TURNED OFF. THIS IS THE FOURTH THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING WHILE THE KEYS WERE NOT IN THE IGNITION AND IT IS THE SECOND TIME THE VEHICLE RESTARTED ITSELF WITHOUT THE KEY BEING IN THE IGNITION. THIS IS...

09/08/18 I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. I GOT SOME ITEMS FROM MY TRUNK AND WENT ABOUT MY BUSINESS. ABOUT 45 MINUTES LATER, I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE ONLY TO NOTICE THE LIGHTS WERE ON AND IT WAS RUNNING. I WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE USING THE KEY FOB AND HAD TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR. I PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AGAIN AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I WIGGLED THE GEAR SHIFT AND IT FINALLY TURNED OFF. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. PLEASE ADD MY VEHICLE TO THE RECALL LIST AS THIS IS THE EXACT ISSUE THAT THE OTHER GMC TERRAIN 2012 ARE HAVING.

I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. I GOT SOME ITEMS FROM MY TRUNK AND WENT ABOUT MY BUSINESS. I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE A FEW MINUTES LATER ONLY TO NOTICE THE LIGHTS WERE ON AND IT WAS RUNNING. I WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE USING THE KEY FOB AND HAD TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR. I PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AGAIN AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I WIGGLED THE GEAR SHIFT AND IT FINALLY TURNED OFF. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. PLEASE ADD MY VEHICLE TO THE RECALL LIST BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR BEFORE THERE IS PROPERTY DAMAGE.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2012 GMC TERRAIN FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS. IN THAT TIME HAVE HAD TO HAVE SEVERAL REPAIRS DONE. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND EVERY TIME IT DOES THE DEALERSHIP FINDS A NEW ISSUE. I WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MY ENGINE. HOWEVER, WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE WITH OUT AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND CHARGING ME EACH TIME THEY PUT IN OIL. THE VEHICLE RUNS HARD AND MAKES A LOT OF NOISE. I HAVE ALREADY PUT IN SEVERAL THOUSANDS IN REPAIRS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WOULD JUST LIKE THE VEHICLE TO RUN CORRECTLY.

THE CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR SOLENOID ON MY VEHICLE FAILED AS I WAS CROSSING AN INTERSECTION, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. FROM MY RESEARCH, THIS IS A VERY, VERY COMMON OCCURENCE IN THESE ENGINES THAT GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT SINCE 2010. IT IS THE RESULT OF A DEFECTIVE PART AND OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES. GM ISSUED A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR THE SAME EXACT PART IN THE 2011 TERRAIN MODELS, YET DID NOT ISSUE ANY RECALLS FOR THE 2012 MODELS, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE EXACT SAME PART AND THE EXACT SAME MOTOR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO LOSE POWER AT A CRITICAL TIME - WHEN THE DRIVER ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED ACCIDENTS BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURED.

EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. TIMING CHAIN FAILURE. PISTONS, RINGS, EXHAUST MANIFOLD, MUFFLER, DOOR REGULATOR, WIPER MOTOR, TRANSMISSION FAILURE. VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN

PURCHASED 2012 GMC TERRAIN. STARTED RUNNING POORLY AND EVENTUALLY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WAS UNABLE TO GET AN INSPECTION STICKER SO I TOOK IT TO GM DEALER. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TIMING CHAIN REPLACED. $1800. I THEN ASKED IF IT COULD HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE RECAL LETTER L RECIEIVED THAT SPECIFIED EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE DEALER ADVISED ME IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH TIMING CHAIN. I REFUSED TO PAY AND TOOK IT TO MY OWN MECHANIC. HE FOUND LACK OF OIL AND SLUDGE IN MY ENGINE. AFTER FLUSHING IT OUT AND PUTTING NEW OIL IN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. I THEN TOOK IT BACK TO GM AND REQUESTED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT MY VEHICLE BURNED 1 QUART OF OIL AT 1000 MILES. THE VEHICLE FAILED THE CONSUMPTION TEST. THEY NOW HAVE ADVISED ME THAT THEY ARE REPLACING PISTONS, RINGS...

MY 2012 GMC TERRAIN 2.4L IS HAVING AN ISSUE WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO CHECK MY OIL AND IT GETS TO 1 QT OR MORE LOW BETWEEN MY 5K OIL CHANGES. I'VE SEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS WITH THIS. BECAUSE OF THIS I HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON INDICATING MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER MAY BE BAD. IVE HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS. IT SHOULDN'T NEED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ALREADY. MY CAR IS DUE FOR SMOG NEXT MONTH AND I'VE AKREADY HAD TO REPMACE THE INTAKE AND EXHAUST SENSORS ON THE ENGINE BECAUSE OF THE OIL ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION BEING DRIVEN. IT IS EATING UP OIL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. CAVENDER BUICK GMC WEST IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: 8-4147028398. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000.

2012 GMS TERRAIN 4 CYLINDER FLEX FUEL- CAMSHAFT CODE, CAM SENSORS REPLACED, SPITTING AND SPUTTERING, STALLED X3 AND SHUT OFF, FUEL CONSUMPTION NOTED, LOSS OF POWER. GMC DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO PERFORM DIAGNOSIS ON MY CAR DUE TO MY REFUSAL TO PAY FOR RULING OUT THE DOCUMENTED FUEL LEAK RECALL/SPECIAL COVERAGE. MY REQUEST WAS ONLY TO HAVE FUEL THE ISSUE LOOKED AT AND RULED OUT, NOTHING FURTHER, TO ENSURE THIS WAS NOT CAUSING MY PROBLEM. I REPORTED MY PROBLEMS THAT ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE NOTED FUEL SPECIAL COVERAGE AND TURNED AWAY BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE $120 TO PAY IF THEY FOUND IT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. UPON READING MY ISSUE CORRELATES WITH NUMEROUS TERRAIN AND EQUINOX OWNERS. I WANT IN THIS ACTION TO GET SOMETHING DONE FOR PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND DID NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO STARK CHEVROLET/BUICK IN MERRILL, WISCONSIN WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55 MPH HOUR MY SUV BEGAN TO SHAKE EXTREMELY AND WAS THROTTLING AT VERY HIGH RPM'S AND THE SUV THRASH TO SUDDEN HALT AND CONTINUED TO SHAKE AND IDLE VERY HIGH AND LOUD. I TRIED TO HIT THE GAS TO GET MYSELF OFF THE ROAD AS I WAS ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD SON IN THE CAR, AND THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE RPM'S SPIKED BUT I WENT NOT MORE THAN 15 MPH, AT THE SAME TIME THE FOLLOWING ERRORS APPEARED ON MY SCREEN: 1) SERVICE STABAILI TRAK 2) ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED SLOWLY I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET THE CAR UP TO 35 MPH AND GET US HOME SAFE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SEEMS THAT THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH GMC SO I CONTACTED GMC AND WAS BASICALLY GIVEN THE RUNAROUND....

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CONTINUALLY COMES ONE AND OFF. AT FIRST, WHEN MY HUSBAND TURNED ON THE TRUCK AND SAW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WE TOOK IT IN AND THE ERROR WAS FOR 1 COIL PACK. IT WAS FINE FOR A MONTH, THEN AFTER STARTING THE TRUCK AGAIN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND WE REPLACED ALL OF THE COIL PACKS. NOW WHEN WE START THE TRUCK, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT MAY BE ON OR OFF. AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK, WHEN WE START THE TRUCK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL BE ON. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REOCCURRING AND HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR CLOSE TO A YEAR. THE LAST 5 OR 6 TIMES WE HAD IT PUT ON THE MACHINE THERE HAVE BEEN NO ERRORS FOUND AND OUR MECHANIC'S BAFFLED. ESPECIALLY SINCE THE TRUCK MAY STUTTER OR BECOME SLUGGISH OR SHUT OFF LIKE BEFORE WHENEVER THE CHECK ENGINE...

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON 2/1/18 ON I94 AT 72 MPH, MY CAR STARTING SPUTTERING AND SMOKING. IT THEN STARTED MAKING A VERY LOUD NOISE AND MY WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SAYING TO SHUT OFF MY ENGINE. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND I HAD TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WHO SENT A TOW TRUCK AND TOWED ME TO MY MECHANIC'S GARAGE. THE MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT THE NEXT MORNING AND ADVISED THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE ENGINE BLOCK AND ALL THE OIL LEAKED OUT OF THE HOLE, LEAVING OIL ALL OVER THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF MY VEHICLE. I FILED AN INSURANCE CLAIM, THE INSURANCE ADJUSTOR LOOKED AT IT MONDAY AND DEEMED IT TO BE MECHANICAL FAILURE. I HAVE 110,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

PCV SYSTEM FROZE...AIR CLEANER HAS WATER IN IT// REAR MAIN SEAL PUSHED OUT DUE TO EXCESSIVE CRANKCASE PRESSURE. #14882 SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT COVERS EXACT ISSUE HOWEVER MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED. REQUESTING MY VIN BE ADDED TO #14882 SPECIAL ADJUSTMENT AS IT APPLIES TO MY EXACT MAKE/MODEL/YEAR AND ISSUE.

JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 5 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE A MAJOR OIL LEAK WHICH IS GOING TO COST OVER $1000, MECHANIC TOLD ME THERE IS A RECALL 14882 CALLED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD MY VIN IS NOT COVERED. HOW DO YOU HAVE A RECALL FOR THE SAME YEAR MAKE MODEL BUT NOT ALL ARE INCLUDED BUT ALL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE? THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GET SERIOUSLY HURT, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS JUST CUTTING OFF IN TRAFFIC

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH MY OIL CONSUMPTION ON MY VEHICLE, WHEN I FIRST GOT THE VEHICLE, IT STARTED MAKING SOME NOISES AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS , UNTIL I TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, IT WAS LOW ON OIL, SO I HAD TO PAY FOR THE OIL CHANGE AND THE FEE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, I HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 1 1/2 YEARS AND THE OIL CONSUMPTION IS ASTRONOMICAL, SEEMS LIKE I HAVE TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE EVERY 2 MONTHS AND I HAVE TO ADD OIL SEEMS LIVE EVERY 1000 MILES, THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM, WITH THE 2011 GMC TERRAIN AND I THINK THEY NEED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES OR FIX THE PROBLEM, I JUST GO AN OIL CHANGE 11/2017 AND WAS LOW ON OIL 12/2017, SO I HAD TO ADD OIL AGAIN,...

ON JAN 1ST IT WAS 3F OUT MY WIFE WORMED UP HER TERRAIN WE DROVE IT APPROXIMATELY 12 MILES WHEN WE STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. NEXT CAME THE ENGINE KNOCKING REALLY BAD. WE STOPPED THE TERRAIN AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOUND OUT THE REAR MAIN SEAL BLEW WITH SUCH FORCE THAT THE OIL COVERED THE MUFFLER. THIS HAPPENED FROM THE PCV BEING PLUGGED AND/OR FROZEN FROM THE COLD WEATHER. I RECENTLY FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THAT YEAR MAKE AND MODEL THAT INDICATES THAT WILL HAPPEN AND THERE IS A SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR THAT.(14882: SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT) I ALSO RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC ABOUT HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION WARRANTY. THE TERRAIN MAY EXHIBIT ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. THAT IS ALSO A PART OF THAT 14882:ADJUSTMENT NOW TO THE POINT I WAS TOLD THAT THIS ISSUE MY WIFE'S TERRAIN WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE 100K/5YEAR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY...

THE REAR MAIN SEAL COMPRIMISED AND CAUSED THE LOW OIL PRESSURE STIP ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. MY MECHANIC ADDED OIL AND IT POURED OUT. HE TRIED TO GET THE PART AND HE COULD ONLY LOCATE AT DEALERSGIP 200 MILES AWAT. APPAREBTLY THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING OFTEN WITH VEHICLES WITH THIS ENGINE.

I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM GMC ABOUT A KNOCKING IN THE ENGINE WHICH JUST STARTED HAPPENING IN MY VEHICLE. THE RECALL DOES NOT SHOW UP WHEN THE DEALER CHECKED THE VIN NUMBER IN THE COMPUTER. BUT BEFORE I COULD TAKE MY CAR IN TO BE CHECKED MY ENGINE DIED WHEN I ARRIVE AT WORK WHICH IS 25 MILES FROM MY HOME. I HAD IT TOWED TO A GMC DEARLERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY TIMING CHAIN JUMPED AND THREW VALVE TIMING OFF CAUSING INTERNAL ENGINE FAILURE.. I THEN HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE IN A 5 YEAR OLD VEHICLE, MY WARRANTY EXPIRED 3/2017 SO THIS WAS NOT COVERED. WHEN I CALLED GMC I WAS TOLD THEY MAY BE ABLE TO COVER SOME OF THE COST BUT SINCE I DID NOT REPLACE THE ENGINE WITH ANOTHER GMC ENGINE WHICH WOULD HAVE COST MORE I HAD TO PAY OUT OF MY...

VEHICLE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT 50,000 MILES, WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION. COMPUTER DID NOT SHOW WHAT PROBLEM WAS. CAR WOULD CUT OFF IN DRIVE IN IDLE. CAR WOULD SHAKE. MECHANICS PUT IN NEW PARTS AND BATTERY FOR MORE THAN $1200. STILL WAS NOT FIXED. MECHANIC WENT TO A DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE IF THEY HAD SEEN THIS PROBLEM. AT THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT MANY OF THE PARTS THAT WOULD CAUSE THE PROBLEM WERE ON RECALL. GM HAD NOT POSTED THESE RECALLS OR NOTIFIED ME, THE OWNER. AFTER INSPECTING THE CAR THEY SAID THERE WAS TOO MUCH WRONG TO REPAIR AND THE ENTIRE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID I WOULD NEED TO DRIVE 2000 MILES TO CHECK OIL CONSUMPTION. THEY NEVER MADE US AWARE THERE MAY BE PROBLEM WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION. I AM 68 YRS OLD AND WALK WITH A WALKER. I AM IN...

"FUEL SENSOR" ISSUE. I TOOK MY CAR TO GMC DEALERSHIP TO GET THE BATTERY REPLACED AFTER ONLY 4 YEARS AND WHILE THEY HAD IT THE FUEL SENSOR WENT OUT AND I COULD NOT TELL HOW MUCH GAS I HAD IN THE CAR. THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR IT BECAUSE THEY CLAIMED IT WENT OUT ON ITS ON.

TAKATA RECALL, I THOUGHT THAT I HAD EXCESSIVE OIL LEAKAGE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO OIL, WHEN I JUST HAD A OIL CHANGE THE DAY BEFORE, BUT IT HAD TO BE A EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION, ON MY WAY FROM WORK I HEARD A VERY LOUD NOISE FROM MY ENGINE, AND AND A POP, ON MY DASHBOARD WAS SIGNALING OIL PRESSURE IS LOW - STOP ENGINE, THROUGHOUT THE HOLD ORDEAL THERE WAS SMOKE COMING INTO THE CAR, WHEN I WAS ABLE TO GET TO CAR DEALER SHIP, I WAS CHARGED $3400.00 TO HAVE THE CAR FIX. THEN I RECEIVE A LETTER FROM GMC STATING THAT THEY WERE DOING A RECALL ON 2012 TERRAIN RELATING TO THE SAME ISSUE THAT WAS LISTED IN THE LETTER THAT WAS SENT TO ME. THEY REJECT MY REIMBURSEMENT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY SAYING THE OIL HAD TO BURNING ON THE ENGINE, AND NOT EXCESSIVE...

WHEN I RETURNED TO MY CAR, IT WOULD NOT START. WHEN I TURN THE CAR ON, IT CLICKS BUT NO POWER GOES TO THE ENGINE.

I HAVE A GMC 2012 SLT 1 WITH 2.4 CYLINDER CAR THAT I BOUGHT IN 2011. IT HAS 75K MILES NOW. RECENTLY GOT TO KNOW FROM MY DEALER THAT THERE IS A ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION AND PISTON NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND WAS REFERRED TO A SPECIAL COVERAGE INFORMATION FOR 2011 VEHICLE WITH SIMILAR ISSUE BUT NOT FOR A 2012 VEHICLE - HTTP://GM.OEMDTC.COM/3953/15285-EXCESSIVE-ENGINE-OIL-CONSUMPTION-2011-CHEVROLET-EQUINOX-GMC-TERRAIN IF MY 2012 CAR BOUGHT IN 2011 IS ALSO GIVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS CONFIRMED BY CERTIFIED GMC SERVICE DEALER, THEN WHY IS IT NOT COVERED UNDER GM'S SPECIAL COVERAGE. VIN: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION 3K MILES 2 QUARTERS OF OIL CONSUMPTION

EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION 2 QUARTERS PER EVERY 3000 MILES. VEHICLE IS NOW 71K MILES I CHANGED THE OIL 3 WEEKS AGO AND IT WAS MISSING 2.5 QUARTERS OF OIL I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR AROUND 800 MILES AFTER THE OIL CHANGE AND IS HALF WAY ON THE DEEP STICK AM AFRAID IF I KEEP DRIVING IT FOR 3 TO 4K MILES IT WILL BE VERY LOW ON OIL AGAIN AND I PURCHASED THIS CAR 7 MONTHS AGO FRO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT HAD 55K MILES AT THE TIME I ALWAYS NOTICED TO BE LOW OF MOTOR OIL AND I THOUGHT IT WAS NORMAL BUT IT'S GETTING WORSE BY THE TIME GOING BY. I THINK IS TOO SOON TO BE BURNING MOTOR OIL AT THOSE LOW MILES.

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR LESS THAN A YEAR, BOUGHT FROM A DEALER, AND I HAVE CHECKED THE BACKGROUND TO WHICH THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE FROM WHAT WAS PROVIDED TO ME. IT RANDOMLY STARTED SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY AND SHUTTING OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING. NOW MIND YOU, AS A PREGNANT WOMAN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THIS IS NOT SAFE. MY ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON. THOUGH I COULD HAVE GOTTEN IN AN ACCIDENT, BY THE GRACE OF GOD PEOPLE MOVED OUT THE WAY AND ALLOWED ME TO GET OFF AND TO THE SIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION POWER. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP THE ENGINE STALLED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER BOTH THE TIMES WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ONLY THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,122.

THE VEHICLE HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE TO ADD 3 QTS BETWEEN EVERY OIL CHANGE TO BRING IT BACK TO THE CORRECT LEVEL. I KNOW WHEN IT NEEDS THIS BECAUSE THE VALVE TRAIN GETS VERY LOUD AS IT IS STARVED FOR LUBRICATION. IT ALSO WILL HAVE IRREGULAR RPM LEVELS FROM TIME TO TIME AS WELL AS HARD STARTS. VEHICLE HAS 40K MILES ON IT. I HAVE BEEN HAVING TO DO THIS FOR THE LAST 10-12K MILES UNTIL I HEARD OF THIS BULLETIN. *TR
