Constantly dies. Took it to a shop to see what or why. Its the intake valve timing solenoid. Was told could replace the part but it never really fixes the problem have to take all the heads off and clean the gummed up oil. I have regular oil changes. I even get it taken in for an oil change before my car tells me I need too.

Fuil tank is leaking from the top of the fuil tank.

Transmission, hesitates when your at stop and try to accelerate, cars starts shaking, felling like your driving on cobblestone

The whole infotainment system, including backup camera and navigation, is not functioning correctly. According to reports from the GMC dealership and from online blogs, this is a well known systemic problem that gm is not addressing. Safety issues: 1. The backup camera does not work correctly. When I put car in reverse the screen stays black without any view of the area behind the vehicle.. This is dangerous in any vehicle, but especially in the GMC terrain that is full of blind spots. 2. The radio comes on spontaneously despite being turned 'off'. The volume does not respond to the volume control knob. The radio does not turn off after pressing the on/off control. Trying to deal with this radio while driving is extremely distracting and dangerous. The problem started on 10/0

The contact owns a 2016 GMC Terrain.

My wife was driving on the highway to work when it was raining. Both of the wipers stopped working all of a sudden causing her to not be able to see out of the windshield. When she got home that night I could see that the linkage arm had came off the ball joint.

Windshield wipers stopped working. I can hear the motor working but the arms dod not move.

While driving on a illinois interstate highway during heavy rain the wipers suddenly stopped in the extended positiion partically blocking my view of the highway. I pulled over and could only return the wiper blades to the home position and they would not work at this point. Took to my dealer and it was found that the wiper transmission had failed. GMC has issued a recall on earlier model years of the same make and model vehicle. Dealer confirmed that the failure was same as being reported on recalled vehicles. However, the 2016 model year of the GMC terrain is not part of the recall at this time. From research I have done, the wiper transmission on my vehicle is the same design as the vehicles involved in the recall. Although an accident was not a part of this failure, it could have been

I have a 2016 GMC Terrain, garage kept and seldom driven, with ONLY 53,260 miles on it. Last night while leaving the movie Theatre in the RAIN my WIPERS stopped working while in motion. I had to drive home in the rain unable to see!!! Looked on NHTSA.gov site and saw where recalls were issued for 2015’s but not 2016’s, although I’m reading numerous complaints for the same occurring on my model suv. Can GMC provide some insight into this?

I have to put oil in my car every 2 weeks. There are no leaks. The engine is burning oil.

This is a 2016 GMC all wheel Terrain. Over the past several years when accelerating the car would shake violently, because we could not reenact dealership could not diagnose the problem ,however as the issue has gotten worse we have been able to recreate and diagnose AND we are looking at a $2,000 repair based on a known ISSUE which DID NOT lead to a recall. The ACTUAL ENGINE IN ITS ENTIRETY SHAKES VIOLENTLY when accelerating!! How in the hell is this possible that these cars are allowed on the street without a recall. You should be ashamed!

The engine - My engine blew because oil evaporated out of the #1 cyclinder, which drained the oil. No warning lights went on and the vehicle stalled in the middle of rush hour traffic. The dealership told me it was because of a factory defect, but no recall on that part of the vehicle. This could have been much worse if the vehicles behind me were going faster than they were and not able to stop before rear ending me. Because this was a factory defect it should have been recalled and I should have been notified of this problem when I bought the vehicle.

We own a 2016 GMC terrain. My wife rear ended a Ford expeditions. This low speed impact caused almost 17000 dollars of damage and the seat belt or air bags never went off. I would like to know if this is normal or is gm covering up faulty safety equipment.

I was leaving the area of Hiram and my car started running different and you could hear a taping noise. I drove it to the GMC dealer down the street and they said it was the timing chain. I recently had an oil change and I was wondering if that could be the problem. The dealer gave me no recommendations or indications that I needed to change belts or components and my service engine light has never came on.

Less than 62,000 miles and the transmission has gone out. After searching to order the parts, I noticed several complaints come up across numerous websites where owners state that their vehicles transmission has died around 60,000 miles. This tells me GMC is at least aware of this issue and should enact a recall for this problem. The parts should be covered by GMC.

Husband was traveling under 25 MPH up hill and two vehicles ahead of him abruptly stopped for unknown reason which resulted in the vehicle in front doing the same causing my husband having to hard brake. As he tried to stop the vehicle the brakes wouldn't respond and car kept rolling resulting in an accident. The ABS controller failed
