Extremely cold day driving home and car started to buck a little, then a few minutes later it started ticking. next thing my car shuts off and engine light comes on while driving down the freeway. the car blew it's rear main seal out and after reading it sounds like many other have had this problem. i had checked the oil two days prior and it was full. the car had no oil in it. i basically spent 16,000 and 3 years later the car is junk.

When i use heat in my car for some reason it cuts its self back on .i can turn the heat off and its does cut off when i press off.the problem is when i turn off my car and turb it back on later in the day ,the heats cuts its self back on but the system in the car shows that the heat is off ,so there is no way for me to turn the heat off if the system indicates that its is already off , the only way i can actually can get the heat to tun off is to turn on the air for about 30 seconds and then turn it off
I have had my 2013 gmc terrain for 3 years and it has problems with the oil consumption, starting, traction light comes on by itself and truck cuts off without warning. this started several weeks ago. oil, it consumes large amounts of oil between the oil changes. i check the digital oil displays, that show how much oil remains, and it can go from 80% remains to 70% remains in a matter of days. icutting off, this happens at random times. when i drive, it looses power and cuts off in the middle of the street. no warning at all. this is very scary especially with my children in the car. it will loose power and not accelerate and i have had drift to the shoulder of the road. i am scared it will do this on the highway when driving at high speeds. starting, my suv can start with no problem and i can drive to the store 5 minutes away and it will not start when i return. i try starting it 5 times and it will finally start. this has happened several times. it will start in the morning when i go to work or take kids to sports practice or their games and when i leave work will not start after 8 hours. after a 1-2 hour game, same thing occurs, it will not start. i have taken it for diagnosis, received code and had it repaired. after a few days, same thing happens. my mechanic can not figure out why this is happening. my traction light has also come on by itself, for no reason. there is no recall for these problems but it should be before innocent people, and families are injured or killed.

Our terrain started knocking right before it's due for an oil change. we checked it and it had no oil. the dealership has brushed it away and stated that it's not leaking but could be burning the oil. it wasn't until we talked to a mechanic that we were told that certain gmc vehicles burning oil and that it is recommended we spend more money on more oil replacing 1 quart every 1000 miles. we also found that our radio stopped working but because the dealership failed to inform us that the warranty we got didn't cover the radio. they told us we could get it repaired but we would have to pay out of pocket. this will be the last time we buy a gmc or a chevy suv due to the issues with getting the repairs done and the fact that we want a reliable vehicle.
Takata recall my crash detection come on when i am driving and there is no car in front of me. my terrain starts breaking automatically. i have taken it in to gmc service and they can not find anything wrong but it has done this on numerous occasions

I have a 2013 gmc terrain. i bought it used in 2014. it had one previous owner. when i bought this car, i didn't notice the abnormal noise it makes. while the car is either in driver or reverse, it makes a weird ticking noise coming from under the front hood. the noise goes away in park. however, the noise can only be heard when the car idols at a certain rpm. the car makes a rattle like sound when the rpms are low, like between 500 to 1500. for example: when i'm cruising down town at speeds of about 25-45mph, i can here the rattle sound. when i back into my garage, the noise can be heard even louder because the garage amplifies the sound. when i use cruise control to accelerate, it does not make this noise. only when i put my foot on the gas pedal. when i take my food off the gas, or speed up, the sound goes away. it's not a low oil tick sound. it's a little different, like something is loose and rattling. this noise has always been there but it took me a while to realize it.
While decelerating from about 35 or 40 mph when you apply the brakes then come to complete stop the vehicle on the rear end will start to loudly thump, it starts out slowly thumping and begins to speed up and when you start to release the brake it begins to slow down and stop once one begins to accelerate. we have had the issue ongoing for about 3 months now, it started about 2 or 3 weeks after we got the vehicle and it has been in the shop about 6 times. the vehicle had about 2200 miles on it and the dealer said it was a 'like new' loaner vehicle. the mechanics said they thought it was a exhaust, something with the rear brakes, or maybe a panel in the back of the vehicle, they have tightened, and replaced almost the entire rear of the vehicle and the problem still persists. they cannot figure out the problem and i am afraid it might become a safety hazard. the dealer has called gmc and the dealer said gmc will not do anything for us. *jb
