2013 GMC Terrain

The contact owns a 2013 GMC Terrain. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, a noise was heard coming from the front of the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and informed the contact that the transfer case needed to be replaced; however, the parts were on backorder. The contact stated that the transfer case was previously replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 77,768.

When driving my Terrain, my traction control light came on, then a message on the display saying service stabilitrack and engine power is reduced. I couldn't go over a certain speed. I've taken it to Autozone to be put on the computer and it shows up stabilitrack. The car stops running and it takes a few minutes to get it running again. I just bought the car and I'm having problems with these lights and controls. I have read online about this same issue. Is this a recall or does it have to be more complaints about this first? I love my car but these issues are too much. The car has 211k miles on it. Please help me

IIN EARLY 2020 I REACHED OUT TO 2 DIFFERENT GMC DEALERSHIPS IN REGARD TO THE RECALLS THAT EXISTED ON MY VEHICLE'S ENGINE AND OIL CONSUMPTION. THE VEHICLE WAS OVERCONSUMING OIL (I WOULD TRACK THE OIL LEVELS) AND NEEDED EXCESSIVE OIL CHANGES. THE FIRST DEALERSHIP SAID THAT MY VEHICLE DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL DUE TO MILEAGE WHEN I JUST RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE. SECOND DEALERSHIP WOULDN'T EVEN LOOK AT VEHICLE. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE ENGINE BLEW, SPILLING OIL EVERYWHERE. THE ENGINE NOW NEEDS A TOTAL ENGINE REPLACEMENT. HAD THE DEALERSHIPS AGREED TO LOOK AT THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING AND HAD KNOWLEDGE OF THE GMC RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE, I WOULDN'T HAVE AN INOPERABLE VEHICLE AND NEEDED TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE DUE TO THE ENGINE ISSUES NOT BEING COVERED THAT WERE COMMON KNOWLEDGE ON THESE MAKE/MODEL/YEAR VEHICLES. I HAVE TRIED TO WORK WITH DEALERSHIPS AS WELL AS MY THE FINANCER OF THE VEHICLE, GMC NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE AND CONTACT ME. SINCE THE WARRANTY ENDED ON THE VEHICLE THE 1ST YEAR I OWNED IT, I HAVE PUT NEARLY $10,000 INTO FAULTY PARTS AND REPLACEMENTS ON THE VEHICLE THAT WEREN'T "COVERED". I WOULD LIKE THIS SITUATION INVESTIGATED DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUES THE ENGINE CAUSED THAT WERE REFUSED TO BE LOOKED AT AND NOW THE NEGATIVE FINANCIAL ASPECT IT HAS CAUSED ME.

MY VEHICLE EATS UP OIL. I JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION INVESTIGATION. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON. SOMETIMES WHEN I FILL IT WITH GAS IT GOES OFF. A WEEK AGO IT CAME ON AND THEN AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY STREET MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, THEN A MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY SAYING SERVICE STABILITRACK AND ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. I COULDN'T GO OVER 35MPH. I TOOK IT TO OREILY THE FOLLOWING MORNING AND THE CODE P0175 SHOWED 'FUEL SYSTEM TOO RICH'. I FOUND A RECALL OF AN O2 SENSOR. I COULDN'T GET INTO A GM SHOP FOR ANOTHER WEEK. TODAY THEY FIXED THE RECALL BUT TOLD ME THE SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION WAS EXPIRED IN 7/2020 FOR MY VEHICLE. I CHATTED WITH GM ONLINE AND THEY DIDN'T ANSWER ALL MY QUESTIONS. EVEN THOUGH I FOUND THE INFO ON THIS HERE WEBSITE ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION AND THE TIME LIMIT AND MILEAGE ON WHEN I COULD GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED, GM WOULD NOT EXPLAIN IN DETAIL TO CLARIFY THIS INFO. IT SAID 7 YEARS AND 6MOS OR 120K MILES FROM WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN SERVICE. THEY SAID THIRD PARTY SITES LIKE THESE AREN'T RELIABLE. THE SHOP MENTIONED I SHOULD JUST KEEP OIL IN IT AND THAT GETTING THE PISTONS FIXED WOULD BE $5K. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER AND I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THE INVESTIGATION OTHERWISE I WOULD'VE NEVER GOTTEN THE VEHICLE OR AT LEAST GOT IT FIXED IN SAID TIME LIMIT.

THIS VEHICLE IS CONSUMING OIL AT AN EXCESSIVE RATE. THIS HAS CAUSED OTHER ISSUES SUCH AS SOLENOIDS NEEDING REPLACEMENT AS WELL AS A TIMING CHAIN. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AMONG THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I HAVE TO ADD OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AND IF THE TIMING CHAIN GOES DUE TO THIS, IT CAN CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT.

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
