While driving on the highway with my child, vehicle suddenly went into reduced power mode. 5 minutes later after exiting the highway, the low oil pressure Alert came on. The vehicle was parked two minutes later then towed home. After towing it to my local certified dealership, it was determined the pcv was clogged with ice resulting in a blown rear main seal. There was a recall for a defect in earlier terrains for this same issue (See SB 14882). Currently GM will not cover repair costs under this specific recall despite this vehicle apparently having the same 2.4L Ecotek engine. Apparently this a known cold weather issue for this vehicle.
PC/rear main seal blew
The rear main seal broke. Causing oil to leave the reservoir and empty the engine. This was due to a frozen pvc from cold temperatures. My vehicles engine light came on and I pulled over immediately noticing there was no oil. but there was never an indication of low oil. My vehicle is ervex with gmc every 5k miles for oil. Only 74,000 miles on a 2017 terrain. This is a manufacturers faulty equipment.
The rear main seal blew out due to crackcase pressure build up.

The contact was able to pull into his driveway and parked the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the rear main seal had failed, and the failure was related to GM Technical Service Bulletin: 14882. The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure and informed the contact that they could not assist because the VIN was not included in the Technical Service Bulletin.

Driver side head curtain airbags failed to properly deploy during rollover accident Not my vehicle, this is vehicle accident I responded to, Captain Fire Dept
Engine started consuming oil at around 90,000 miles. First noticed after a Oil change with the dealer we bought it from. Questioned them about it once we checked the oil, and noticed it being low after experiencing a engine noise. Dealer had us bring it back , refilled it, and test drove it for 20 miles. They sent it back with us, stating it may not have been topped off correctly. Noticed the issue several more times, and told the dealer , they then had us to a oil consumption test. After test was concluded recommended that the piston rings be replaced at a cost of $2202.02. GM first refused coverage even though this is a known issue with Terrains with the 2.4 cyl. engine. Dealer resubmitted to GM rep. , Rep. admitted this is a known issue, and that GM is waiting to see if they experience enough complaints to meet the 10% of production number before it is covered 100%. Contacted GM customer complaint line with no luck in getting additional coverage, even though GM extended coverage for earlier models with this issue.

OnStar - I've had OnStar for several years and paid the bill annually by check. The company never sent a renewal bill this year. I contacted them via phone on 1-23-2021, 2-8-2021, 2-22-2021 and 3-9-2021. I used phone numbers 1-866-891-1233, 1-866-579-0028, and the OnStar button to talk to representatives. I also wrote letters to OnStar dated March 9 and March 27, 2021 without results. I had a confirmation # CN4175174. I never received a bill and now the safety device is cut off in my car.
PURCHASED GMC 2017 TERRAIN 1 MONTH AGO TODAY. THE FIRST WEEK I HAD IT THE ENGINE KEPT STALLING WHILE IDLING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO FIX. I GOT IT BACK AND IT SEEMED TO RUN HARD. 3 DAYS LATER I FOUND THAT NOT ONE BUT BOTH KEY FOBS WOULD NOT WORK. THE BATTERY IS BRAND NEW. WHEN I SPOKE TO SERVICE MAN AT DEALERSHIP, HE STATED THAT ONE FOB WAS FAULTY AND THEY WOULD ORDER A NEW ONE. I HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM THEM...TODAY I GOT INTO A FRONT END COLLISION WHERE THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY CAUSING ME INJURY. ONLY AFTER THE FACT DID THE ALARM SOUND AND DASH MESSAGE CAME ON STATING SERVICE AIRBAG. THE FOUR WAY LIGHTS WOULD NOT STAY ON AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN OFF. AND THERE WAS A SMELL OF SOMETHING BURNING.. NO RETURN CALL FROM GMC.
MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH A A MESSAGE THAT STATES 'REDUCED ENGINE POWER' AND A MESSAGE READING 'SERVICE STABILITREK WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH. THIS CREATED SUDDENLY JERKING AND SLOW ACCELERATION SO THAT I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. I FOUND A FORUM AT [XXX] THAT REVEALS THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH GMC MODES AT LEAST AS LONG AS 2011. THE DURATION FOR WHICH THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH GMC MODELS, AND THE FACT THAT STABILITREK IS AN INTEGRAL SAFETY FEATURE OF THE VEHICLE IN AVOIDING ACCIDENTS SEEMS TO MERIT A RECALL. PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
I AM THE OWNER OF A 2017 GMC TERRAIN. YESTERDAY, I WAS INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN THIS VEHICLE. SOME PERSON PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES TO AVOID A CAR ACCIDENT. HIS VEHICLE CONTINUED THROUGH AN INTERSECTION IN WHICH HE DID NOT HAVE THE RIGHT AWAY CAUSING ME TO HIT THE FRONT END OF HIS TRUCK. AS THE DRIVER STATES HE DID NOT SEE ME, I CAN CONFIRM I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES, WHICH ACTED AS THEY COULDN'T STOP. IT FELT AS THE BRAKES WERE NONEXISTENT. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY TERRIFYING MOMENT, AS I WAS GOING 45MPH (PER THE SPEED LIMIT). AS I HAD READ EARLIER, THE 2018 TERRAINS ALSO SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THE DRIVER'S SIDE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE WAS FRACTURED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED ABOUT CUTTING HER HAND ON THE DOOR HANDLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 GMC TERRAIN.

THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BACK INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION, A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT SHOP WHERE THE VEHICLE DAMAGE WAS BEING REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, HOWEVER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN DURING A GREEN LIGHT MY CAR WAS IN MOTION. A WHITE VAN WAS SPEEDING TOWARDS ME FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE GOING STRAIGHT AT ME AT HIGH SPEED WITH A RED LIGHT. THEY HIT THE FRONT DRIVERS END OF MY CAR WHICH MADE MY CAR SPIN OUT. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE WHOLE FRONT END OF MY CAR WAS RUINED.
AT AROUND 20 MILES PER HOUR, WHILE ACCELERATING, ALL TORQUE IS LOST AND THE VEHICLE ENGINE REVS HIGH. IT TAKES A FEW SECONDS, THEN THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY SHIFTS INTO THE NEXT GEAR. THIS CAUSES A BIG JOLT. IT IS DANGEROUS, ALL POWER IS LOST, THEN SUDDENLY TOO MUCH POWER IS APPLIED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 40,502 MILES.
I HAD MY 2017 GMC TERRAIN DENALI FOR TWO YEARS AND HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED TWO SERIOUS ISSUES. ISSUE #1-I NOTICED A BURNING SMELL, GRINDING NOISE, AND HESITATION WHEN DRIVING. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A FACTORY DEFECT WHICH CAUSED SOMETHING INSIDE MY TRANSFER TO BORE A HOLE THROUGH IT. DEALER COULD NOT GET THE PART FOR 2 WEEKS. IT WAS COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY. A MONTH LATER WHILE GETTING AN OIL CHANGE AT A DIFFERENT AUTO SHOP, I WAS ASKED IF I RECENTLY HAD WORK DONE ONLY TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THE ENTIRE THING WAS LOOSE AND MOVING, AND THE CAR DID NOT DRIVE RIGHT. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. THEY TIGHTENED THE BOLTS ON THE TRANSFER CASE AND CHARGED ME A $60 DIAGNOSTIC FEE (FOR THEIR ERROR). ISSUE #2-AT 63,000 MILES MY WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 30MPH ON A BUSY STREET IN THE POURING RAIN (VERY SCARY). I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW WIPER TRANSMISSION AND WOULD COST $318 BECAUSE MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I EXPRESSED CONCERN THAT MY 2YO. CAR HAS NOW HAD TWO SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES AND WAS TOLD 'CARS HAVE SO MANY MOVING PARTS AND PIECES THAT IT'S A WONDER MORE THINGS WEREN'T WRONG WITH IT'. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AND THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS CONDESCENDING AND COULDN'T CARE LESS. GMC NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS SERIOUSLY HURT OR WORSE.
WHEN I STARTED MY VEHICLE THE RADIO DID NOT POWER ON. THE REVERSE CAMERA IS NOT WORKING NOR THE BLUETOOTH OR ANY OTHER FUNCTION WITH THE RADIO.
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55 MPH WHEN A DEER RAN OUT AND HIT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. IT BOUNCED AND ROLLED OFF THE DRIVERS SIDE. I PULLED THE VEHICLE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ALL OF THE ELECTRIC COMPONENTS IN THE VEHICLE WERE ON. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE ON, THE HAZARD LIGHTS WERE FLASHING AND THE CONSOLE WAS LOCKED UP. I PUSHED THE BUTTONS, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY THERE WAS A MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN THAT SAY SERVICE AIRBAG (BUT THEY HADN'T DEPLOYED). I COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING, THE VEHICLE WAS SMOKING AND I COULD HEAR SOMETHING POPPING, I GOT OUT TO ASSESS THE DAMAGE AND MY VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. THE VEHICLE ENDED UP BEING A TOTAL LOSS.. THIS IS HAPPENED IN GA AND THE STATE PATROL DID THE POLICE REPORT.
WHILE CHECKING THE REAR VIEW MIRROR A 1998 CHEVY TRUCK CAME TP A SUDDEN STOP ON THE HIGHWAY, AND I COULD NOT MISS THE TRUCK THE DRIVER CLAIMED HE THOUGHT HE HAD MISSED HIS TURN, WHEN MY SUV COLLIDED WITH THE TRUCK. THE POWDER CAME OUT BUT THE AIRBAGS NEVER DID COME OUT,AND THE PASSENGER SEATBELT LOCKED.
GMC TERRAIN. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ISSUES WITH THE RADIO. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DASH DISPLAY NO LONGER OPERATES. THE SCREEN DISPLAY IS BLACK. DUE TO THE FAILURE THE BACKUP CAMERA, HANDS FREE PHONE, ON STAR, AND THE RADIO ARE INOPERABLE. *JS
THE VEHICLE'S CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE AIR IS NOT PROPERLY DISTRIBUTED OUT OF THE AVAILABLE VENTS. AT TIMES, AIR IS ONLY DISTRIBUTED THROUGH THE FLOORBOARD VENTS. OTHER TIMES IT WILL ONLY BE DISTRIBUTED VIA THE DEFROSTER VENTS. RECENTLY, THE CAR WINDOWS BECAME COMPLETELY FOGGED UP WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT NIGHT. I ATTEMPTED TO USE THE DEFROSTER, BUT ALL AIR WAS DISTRIBUTED TO THE FLOORBOARD, WHICH HAD NO IMPACT ON THE WINDSHIELD. I HAD ZERO VISIBILITY AND HAD TO PULL OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. UP UNTIL THIS INCIDENT, THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN RESTRICTED TO A LACK OF COMFORT, BUT IT HAS NOW BECOME A SAFETY RISK. GMC HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND I WAS INFORMED GMC ENGINEERS WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DID NOT HAVE A WAY TO FIX IT.
TRAVELING ON STATE HIGHWAY 136 BETWEEN 50 AND 55MPH. THE LISTED VEHICLE STRUCK A DEER CAUSING SIGNIFICANT FRONT END DAMAGE. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THERE WAS A VERY STRONG ODOR SIMILAR TO GUN POWDER. THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND ON STAR CAME ON LINE IN THE CAR DUE TO CRASH SENSOR NOTIFICATION. HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE CAR SUSTAINED DAMAGE AS WELL AS THE RADIATOR. THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT QUARTER PANEL ALSO BUCKLED. IT IS UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME OF FURTHER DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED ENOUGH DAMAGE TO WHERE IT REQUIRED IT TO BE TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP BODY SHOP FOR FURTHER EVALUATION. BASED ON THE FRONT END AND QUARTER PANEL DAMAGE, THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE LISTED VEHICLE IS THE ONLY VEHICLE INVOLVED WITH THE COLLISION. THE GEORGIA STATE PATROL INVESTIGATED AND COMPLETED A CRASH REPORT.
I WAS DRIVING 9PM ON A CITY ST RD, COMING UP ON A MILE LIGHT THAT WAS RED. THE ROADS WERE DRY ON A 5 LANE RD. THERE WAS 1 CAR AHEAD OF MY CAR WITH THEIR BRAKE LIGHTS ON . ALTHOUGH NOT NOTED ON POLICE REPORT THE CAR WAS STOPPED APPROX 5 TO 7 CAR LENGTHS PRIOR TO THE RED LIGHT. I HAD BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN BUT DID NOT REALIZE THE DRIVER AHEAD WAS NOT SLOWING DOWN BUT STOPPED. I SWERVED TO THE RIGHT AND AS NOTED IN PICS BELOW THE DRIVERS SIDE OF CAR HIT THE OTHER DRIVERS PASSENGER BACK CORNER. I ENDED UP IN A PARKING LOT ON THAT CORNER. OTHER THEN THE MEDICAL TERM COOP TO COOP THAT ALSO AIDED IN MY HEAD INJURY, I ALSO HIT MY HEAD 2 TIMES AT MY HAIRLINE ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND THEN MY LEFT CHEEK. I WAS DIAGNOSED AND SUSTAINED A SEVERE CONCUSSION/ BRAIN TRAUMA. I WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM TWICE FOR CARE OF WORSENING SYMPTOMS AND WAS INCAPACITATED AND OUT OF WORK FOR ABOUT 6 WKS. WHICH WAS STILL TO FAST TO RETURN, BUT I COULD NOT AFFORD BEING ON DISABILITY. FOLLOWING THE ACCIDENT THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE CITY TOW YARD, AND WAS ASSESSED WITHIN A WEEK BY THE INS ADJUSTER AS TOTAL LOSS. FROM THERE IT WAS TAKEN TO A JUNK SALVAGE BUSINESS. DUE TO MY INCAPACITATION I HAD NO MEANS TO LOOK INTO CONCERNS RELATED TO WHY THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I AM A NURSE PRACTITIONER THAT NOW HAS SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS, MIGRAINES, AND ATTENTION DEFICIT DUE TO THE BRAIN INJURY. I HAVE NO WAY OF FINDING OUT IF THE AIRBAG SENSORS WERE DEFECTIVE OR NOT BECAUSE, ALTHOUGH I'M ATTEMPTING TO TRACK THE CAR IT'S BEEN DIFFICULT, AND UNSURE OF MY RIGHTS TO THE CAR IF I CAN TRACK IT DOWN. THE BIGGER SURPRISE WAS THAT I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON MY 2018 GMC TERRAIN JUST TODAY, BUT HAVE NO ANSWERS ON THE 2017. PLEASE HELP IN ANYWAY WITH WHAT I SHOULD DO. SINCERELY *TR *JS
HEADLIGHTS, HIGH AND LOW BEANS ARE ALMOST USELESS, THEY ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH, BARELY CAN SEE TO DRIVE IT AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY IF RAINING, TOTALLY ALMOST LIKE BEING BLIND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING 32 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE STRUCK A PARKED VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HEAD AND MOUTH, AND SUSTAINED A MILD CONCUSSION. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. IT WAS NOT DETERMINED WHETHER OR NOT THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED.

I WAS DRIVING AND INSIDE ALARM CAME ON SOUNDED LIKE A FIRE ALARM. HOWEVER NO LIGHTS IN THE CAR CAME ON INDICATION SOMETHING WAS WRONG, TIRE PRESSURE WAS GOOD, EVERYTHING AS FAR AS MY EYES COULD SEE IT WAS FINE EXCEPT THAT AN ALARM KEPT GOING OFF COMING THRU THE SPEAKERS. I PULLED OVER GOT OUT LOOKED AROUND THE VEHICLE. NOTHING! MADE SURE ALL DOORS WHERE LOCKED AND EVERYTHING GOOD ALARM STILL GOING OFF. NOT THE CAR THEFT ALARM AN INTERNAL ALARM THRU THE SPEAKERS OF THE CAR. PLEASE HELP AS I AM SCARED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE BECAUSE MAYBE IT WAS TRYING TO TELL ME SOMETHING IS WRONG. IT EVENTUALLY WENT OFF AND I PULLED OFF VEHICLE DROVE FINE.
I'VE HAD MY TERRAIN FOR 3 MONTHS. CAR HAD 3400 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE ISSUE. BACKED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IT WOULDN'T GO. THE CAR WOULD REV UP BUT WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD. HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUSH OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. CAR WAS STRANDED IN THE STREET FOR THREE DAYS DUE TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT BEING CLOSED. EACH DAY I TRIED TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IT STILL WOULDN'T GO WHEN PUT IN DRIVE OR MANUAL ONLY REVERSE. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SAT FOR ANOTHER DAY BEFORE THE DEALERSHIP COULD GET TO IT. DEALERSHIP CALLED AND THE CAR WOULD DRIVE WITH NO ISSUE. ASKED IF SOMETHING COULD HAVE SHIFTED WHEN THE CAR WAS TOWED SO THEY KEPT THE CAR ONE MORE DAY TO RUN SOME DIAGNOSTIC TESTS WHICH STILL RESULTED IN NOTHING BEING FOUND.
BLIND SIDE ALERT ACTIVATES WHEN IT IS RAINING AND THERE ARE NO CARS NEARBY. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN RAINING. NO CODES ARE THROWN SO DEALER SERVICE WON'T TROUBLESHOOT. THIS CAN ONLY BE REPRODUCED ON A HIGHWAY OR PARKWAY, WHEN IT IS RAINING AND NO OTHER CARS ARE NEARBY. CANNOT BE REPRODUCED ON REGULAR STREETS WITH OTHER CARS AROUND. I'VE HAD MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER SERVICE 3 TIMES, ALL WITH THE SAME RESULTS. NO CODES IN THE COMPUTER AND CANNOT REPRODUCE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ONLY TESTS ON THE LOCAL STREETS. THERE ARE OTHER CARS AROUND, SO HOW CAN THIS BE AN ACCURATE TEST???
SIDE BLIND SPOT ALERT COMES ON AND OFF WHEN RAINING OR SNOWING WITH NOTHING THERE, THEY SHOULD TELL YOU THIS WILL HAPPEN BEFORE YOU PAY EXTRA FOR THIS PACKAGE, HOW DO YOU KNOW IF IT WORKS OR NOT WHEN DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY
OUR NEW TERRAIN HAS "VEHICLE IN FRONT" VISUAL WARNING SYSTEMS. WE WERE FOLLOWING A TANKER TYPE SEMI ON THE INTERSTATE AND PULLED ALL THE WAY UP BEHIND THE TANKER SEMI (WITHIN 25 FT) AND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. WE TESTED THIS ON ALL TYPES OF CARS AND TRUCKS AS WELL AS STANDARD BOX TYPE SEMI AND IT WORKED PERFECTLY. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE REAR END OF THE TANKER SEMI IN WHICH IT DID NOT DETECT AT ALL.
