2013 GMC Terrain owner complaints

Driving my 2013 GMC terrein (2.4l) it was about 20 degrees out, a warning light came on that oil pressure is low "stop engine immediately. I pulled over at a gas station and as got out of the car I could see a oil spilling from below the engine. I had it towed to my mechanic and he said it had a a rear crankshaft seal oil leak. I had received an extended warranty bulletin 14882 which GMC recognize the issue. This special coverage covers the condition (2010-2013 GMC terrain vehicles equipped with a 2.4l engine (laf, lea or luk) that have experienced high oil consumption may also experience a frozen and/or plugged pcv (positive crankcase ventilation) system during cold weather operation. This condition may increase crankcase pressure leading to a rear crankshaft seal oil leak) for a period

Consuming too much oil between oil changes and no indication light comes on to inform me of low oil levels

Oil consumption is high causing car to burn all oil out and car to make loud noises/stop running.

My terrain ran out of oil and had no leaking anywhere. Found out from the dealer that these vehicles have a huge problem where they are burning oil internally and need their pistons and rings replaced. Had to go in every 500 miles and have them check the oil. It was down every time I went in and they would have to add oil. I thought I was still under warranty and come to find out after finishing the oil consumption testing that I was not. The bill would have been over $5000 of which I am a single mother with a car payment for a car that is now junk. My car eventually died due to the oil problem and other common issues known to GMC. It is not fair

Purchased car used from GMC dealer 88,706 miles. 1 previous owner thta purchased from gm dealer new, I purchased extra 100,000 warranty in addition. I drive about 10 miles total a day about 3 days a week to work, so I have not put many miles on it. 30 days after purchase when driving home from work got to driveway, car dumped large quantities of oil on driveway. No warning lights ever came on to indicate a problem. Diagnostics should have indicated pressure build-up. Car had hesitated a bit at the last stoplight before my house on the way home but not bad and only one time. Oil all over underside of vehicle. Towed to dealer, gm knows of the issue but my VIN is not on "the list" for the "service adjustment" not a recall but it should be.. Nobody can say why. Will cover part but

The vehicle consumes oil at a rate much higher than "normal". Between manufactures recommended oil change interval the vehicle will consume 40-50% of the engines oil capacity. This is determined to not be out of specification in regards to issued service bulletins for the vehicle, but is not "normal" or stated as operating as designed by the GMC operation manual/documentation. There have been other performance and reliability issues with the vehicle related to ignition and timing whereas the vehicle will not run/start/or stalls(camshaft position sensor issues). Service bulletins on the same vehicle indicated excessive wear on timing chain assemblies(which can lead to timing issues) as a result of the excessive oil consumption.

My 2013 GMC terrain died while I was driving down the road, it was found to have excessive oil consumption, none of the warning lights in the car came on not even the oil light to indicate low oil. The car had bad piston rings which was part of the cause. Gm knew about this issue but didn't properly notify everyone involved. I knew nothing about this issue until it happened to me & later received a letter stating my car was inadvertently left out of the initial sca. The fact that these cars die while driving without any warning is extremely dangerous. I have children that were in the car when this happened we are lucky we didn't hit anyone and no one hit us. Gm has been unwilling to help with any of this
