Complete motor failure, engine oil loose, complete loose of control. while driving down the highway, this vehicle had a sudden oil loose, no warning lights came on causing my spouse to loose all control of the vehicle nearly incurring a head on collision on a local highway at speed of 60mph. we had to have to vehicle towed to a local shop and is no longer drivable and the motor is ruined. the vehicle only has 83,000 miles and all evidence of motor failure appears to be on the manufactures behalf, as the motor over pressurized and lost all oil and didn't have a safety warning, this could have killed my spouse or others. i have attached photos for review
While driving on highway the message came on losing oil pressure, shut engine off. by the time i was able to pull off the highway to the side the engine ceased up. oil gasket blew off.
Vehicle shuts off when slowing to a stop and have to restart in order to accelerate. that was looked at and 'fixed' and now the vehicle shakes when slowing down and headlights dim as if it is trying not to shut off. engine is very rough and rattles while starting to accelerate and accelerating. when brakes are pushed the car starts to turn off while in motion. when stopped, car shakes and there is a very hard knocking coming from the engine.
My terrain is stalling really bad some days and sometimes no problems at all. it does it more when going into reverse, i have to keep giving gas to get backed up. it has also died on me when i slow to a stop like at a light. this is really frustrating!!
I was driving my 2012 gmc terrain and as soon as i slowed down or stopped my car would shut off and i would have to try to restart it. fortunately, i made it home without having to stop. as i was turning in my driveway it shut off again. onstar suggests it may be a timing issue. help! i took it to the dealership to get a new battery and when i got my car back the fuel sensor was not working. it was working before they got it and gmc collierville refused to fix it.i can't afford all these major repairs and will not by another if gmc does not resolve the consumer's issues.
I received an oil change at the dealership, within less than a thousand miles i checked my oil and it was completly dry,no oil on the dipstick at all. i added 2 quarts of oil during that weekend and then went to dealership the next day. when i went to dealership they told me my oil was about .5 quart overfilled after having an oil change 1000 miles prior, adding 2 quarts of oil additionally and only returning to have them check it a day later. so leaving the dealership i was told to drive 1000 miles then return to have them check it. after 1000 miles unreturned again and they told me my oil was too low. they then told me to drive another 1000 miles and return once again for another check at which time they again filled my oil to the recommended amount. i'm only st about 500 miles into the 2nd check after driving 1000 miles and i checked my oil at home this weekend and it's already low. very frustrated because if i wasnt checking it, and i was doing what inwas supposed to by getting oil changes then it seems like in less than ...

At 77,894 miles, & about 3,000 miles into previous oil change, the car shut off while my wife was driving with our children in the car and stopped in the middle of the road. several attempts to re-start the engine were unsuccessful. prior to this there was no warning signs of issues such as check engine light, odd noise, etc. the car did not allow time for the vehicle to drift off the main road and created a risk of potential collision with other vehicles. luckily this occurred in a residential area and not on the highway a few minutes earlier. we had the vehicle towed to my certified mechanic and upon inspection identified there was no oil in the car. there is no sign of oil leakage, and the oil had been changed and topped off less than 3000 miles prior to this. approx. 2 years prior, we receiving the bulletin & took the vehicle to the gmc dealer, coral springs auto mall to conduct a oil consumption test. the service advisor checked the dipstick upon my return as instructed 2000 miles later & advised it "appeared" that my car did not have the issue. remembering this instance, 2 ...
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 gmc terrain. the contact stated that the check engine warning indicator was flashing and remained illuminated. the vehicle was taken to a certified independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the sensors needed to be checked due to excessive oil burning. the contact requested the diagnosis in writing. the dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was not available.
Oil consumption is out of control! when i bought the suv used at 63k i could hear within 65k i need oil just from the sound of the engine. i bought a 5 qt at wal-mart because there was less than a quart on the stick. i got and oil change prior on 8-13-19 mechanic showed i was low already at 66k and wasn't due for another till 72,780 i'm at 72k and engine needs oil! hope the class action lawsuit abides to my complaint.

In june 9, 2019 my engine light came on in park in my driveway. june 10, 2019 i took my terrain in for service and to have the engine light looked at cavender west in san antonio, tx. where i purchased the vehicle in december 31,2018. cavender called to inform us that the timing chain was bad. i did some research because a vehicle with 60,000 miles on it shouldn't have a bad timing chain, i wouldn't think. i have called both cavender and gm with no help. i have read numerous complaints for the same issue. i had filed a case with gm about this know problem that still continues. gm is very well aware of the problem. i think this timing chain nightmare should be recalled.
Engine is using excessive oil one quart in five days. every week.
Timing chain broke at 63,000 miles probably distroying the engine. it was on a highway and in motion.
