2012 GMC Terrain complaints

REAR MAIN SEAL LEAK, PVC VALVE FREEZES FROM WATER CONDENSATION AND LOW TEMPERATURES: CAUSING CRANK CASE GASES TO BECOME HIGHLY PRESSURIZED AND BLOW OUT THE REAR MAIN SEAL OF THE ENGINE CAUSING A MASSIVE OIL LEAK ON THE ROAD TO THE REAR TIRES POSSIBLY CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL TO THE REAR WHEELS CAUSING THE POSSIBILITY OF A FATAL LOSS OF CONTROL VEHICLE ACCIDENT. OTHER POSSIBILITIES OIL COATING ENTIRE UNDERCARRIAGE OF VEHICLE CAUSING A VEHICLE FIRE, CATISTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL, ENVIROMENTAL IMPACT 5 QUARTS OF OIL ON THE HIGHWAY.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAVE OBSERVED MY VEHICLE A PROFOUND AMOUNT OF WATER ENTERING THE VEHICLE SOMEWHERE WITHIN, AT, OR IN VICINITY OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND DRIVER'S SIDE (FRONT). THIS OCCURS DURING RAIN-FALL. MY VEHICLE BEGAN DISPLAYING AN ODOR AND SHOWING WHITE-YELLOWISH COLORED MATTER IN THE CARPET AREA. THE WATER IS NOW DEVELOPED INTO A PUDDLE ON THE PASSENGER - SIDE AND CARPET SOAKED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE (THE LOST OF FOOTING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, MAKES IT SOMETIMES DIFFICULT WHEN DRIVING, AND SHIFTING MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO (AND) BRAKING (TO STEER, AND PERFORMING TURNING MANEUVERS). I HAVE RESEARCHED AND NOTED SEVERAL CONSUMER CHAT PAGES, IN WHICH CONSUMERS HAVE DISCUSSIONS EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM OF WATER LEAKING INTO THEIR GMC TERRAIN, AND OTHER GMC VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL COVER SUDDENLY LOOSENED AND SEPARATED FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PHILLIPS BUICK (HWY 441-27, FRUITLAND PARK, FL) WHO INDICATED THAT THE METAL RING USED TO SECURE THE COVER WAS LOOSE AND THE ENTIRE STEERING WHEEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,600.

SEAT BELT RETRACTORS FAIL TO RETRACT AND BELT CLIP GETS STUCK IN CLOSED DOOR. DEALER FIXED ONCE BUT REFUSES TO FIX AT THEIR COST. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS GM DEFECT AND A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE A HALF OPEN JAMMED DOOR WILL NOT OPEN.

IN MAY 2018 MY REAR CAMERA AND BACKUP LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER, THE DEALER TOL ME THAT THE REAR CAMERA WAS BAD AND IT WAS TIED TO THE BACK UP LIGHTS. THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT FOR FREE. I WAS CHARGED $175 DOLLARS TO DISCONNECT THE CAMERA. THE CAMERA SHOULD BE LINKED TO THE BACKUP LIGHTS WHEN IT MALFUNCTIONS. I ALMOST HIT A PERSON BECAUSE THE BACKUP LIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN ON THIS IS A SERIOUS DEFECT. SUNRISE CHEVY SHOULD NOT HAVE CHARGED ME FOR THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRAINING HOSE FROM THE SUN ROOF LEAKED WATER INTO THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THERE WAS A BUILD UP OF WATER THAT CAUSED A FOUL ODOR AND MOLD.

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A HIGHWAY IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE WIPER TRANSMISSION HAD COME APART AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS FIRST OCCURRED IN JUNE 2016 WHEN MY VEHICLE HAD 71048 MILES ON IT. THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED A SECOND TIME IN AUGUST 2018 WITH 111446 MILES ON MY VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WORKING. DIAGNOSIS REVEALED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION HAD COME APART AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS WAS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THIS ISSUE ON THE SAME VEHICLE. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS IN JUNE 2016

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE RESTARTED, BUT STALLED AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

I ALSO HAVE A 2012 GMC TERRAIN THAT HAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE THAT HAS CAUSED COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. APPROXIMATELY 2.5 WEEKS AGO THE CAR WOULDNT START. ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT START. I THOUGHT THAT IT MIGHT BE THE FUEL PUMP. HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC SINCE IT HAS 87K MILES AND OUT OF WARRANTY. SO I WENT TO CHECK THE STATUS OF THE CAR AND THE FIRST THING I WAS TOLD WAS THERE WAS NO OIL WHEN THEY CHECKED IT. THEY ADDED 4 QUARTS BEFORE TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. MIND YOU THE OIL WAS CHANGED 3K MILES AGO AND OIL LIFE MONITOR SAID IT HAD 54% LIFE LEFT. THEY RAN THE CAR FOR CODES AND THE ONLY CODE THAT CAME UP WAS FOR THE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM, ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE TERRAIN. NO ISSUE WAS FOUND WITH FUEL PUMP OR SENSORS. SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED DUE TO THEM BEING ALL FOULED UP. THAT DIDNT FIX THE ISSUE SO IT WAS DETERMINED THAT IT MUST BE THE TIMING CHAIN JUMPED. AT THAT POINT I HAD IT TOWED AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASE IT FROM. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE 125.00 TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC. FINE. SO I GET A CALL THE NEXT DAY THAT IT WAS INDEED THE TIMING CHAIN. I ASKED THE SERVICE GUY WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS AND I WAS TOLD POOR LUBRICATION OR LOW OIL PRESSURE. THATS WHEN I STARTED TO EXPLAIN THAT THE FIRST SHOP HAD TO PUT 4QTS OF OIL IN BC IT WAS BONE DRY. I ASKED ABOUT THE VIN SPECIFIC LETTER I RECEIVED LAST YEAR,2017, ABOUT THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE AND ISNT THAT WHY THERE WAS NO OIL AND HENCE CAUSING THE TIMING BELT TO JUMP. HE ANSWERED "NO". THEN TOLD THAT UPON FURTH

WHEN I HAVE MY ECO LIGHT AT STOPPING OR SITTING IT WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE OR LIKE IT STALL OR WANTS TO CUT OFF CUT OFF. WHEN THE ECO IS TURNED I DON'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM. THE ENGINE IS NOTOWN WHAT IS THIS PROBLEM? THIS HAPPENS ON STREET NOT THE HIGHWAY ON WHEN SITTING AT A STOP.

WHEN I COME COMPLETE STOP OR WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO CHANGE. THE TRUCK SHAKES OR ACT IT WANTS CUT ONLY WITH ECO BUTTON IS PUSH ON. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING ONLY WHEN I COME YOUR COMPLETE STOP. IF THE IS CUT OFF DO NOT HAVE PROBLEM RUNS FINE. DEALER WAS IN FORM HE SAID NOTHING THEY CAN UNTIL THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON..

ON 11/13/2018 ON A HIGHWAY IN HEAVY RAIN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS JUST STOPPED. INVESTIGATION REVEALED A FAILURE OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER TRANSMISSION LINKAGE WHICH I DISCOVERED TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS IS BEING REPAIRED AT THE DEALERSHIP TODAY 11/15/2018. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO INJURIES OR COLLISION AS MY TRIP WAS NEARLY COMPLETE AND TRAFFIC WAS LOW. THIS IS BEING REPAIRED AND ALL DOCUMENTS WILL BE RETAINED AND AVAILABLE ON REQUEST

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH DURING A THUNDERSTORM AND HAIL, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FAILED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND NOTICED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE COMPLETELY INOPERATIVE. THE CONTACT WAITED FOR THE STORM TO STOP AND THEN DROVE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TEMPORARILY REPAIRED UNTIL THE WIPER MOTOR WAS OFFICIALLY REPLACED. A DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND WHILE IT WAS RAINING OUTSIDE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THE WIPERS NO LONGER WORK ON THE VEHICLE AND THE CAR CANNOT BE DRIVEN IN THE RAIN. MY WIFE WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER SAFELY. WINDSHIELD WIPERS WILL NOT WORK AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR.

JANURARY 7TH 2018 MY 2012 GMC TERRAIN RAN OUT OF OIL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS ALREADY FIXED 6 MONTHS PRIOR FOR SPECIAL ADJUSTMENT COVERAGE 16118 WHICH HAD PISTONS, PISTON RINGS, TIMING CHAIN ETC. FIXED TO REPAIR THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE (SEE ADJUSTMENTS 14882 AND 16118. COVERAGE 14882 IS A RESULT OF FAILURE TO CORRECTLY FIX THE 16118 AND IS A DIRECT RESULT OF 14882 AND GMC STATES THEY WILL COVER ME IF THIS HAPPENS. GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS MY VIN # IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS COVERAGE. IF ITS THE SAME EXACT ISSUE FOR (MODEL/ENGINE) WHY WOULD VIN # MATTER? ON TOP OF THAT I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER (DEALERSHIP B) AS I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO LETS CALL IT DEALERSHIP A SO MANY TIMES BEFORE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. DEALERSHIP B FILLED IT WITH OIL AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. I TOLD THEM TO MAKE SURE THE ISSUE WAS FIXED. THEY SAID THEY TEST DROVE IT AND EVERYTHING IS FINE AND THEY DIDNT DO ANYTHING BUT PUT OIL IN IT AND TEST. ON THE WAY HOME JAN. 7TH THE SAME DAY THE CAR STARTING DYING ON ME, STALLING AND MAKING POPPING NOISES AND JERKING WILDLY WHICH IS WHY I BROUGHT IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. DEALERSHIP B KNOWING DEALERSHIP A "FIXED" THIS ISSUE 6 MONTHS BEFORE SO THEY SAID THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW FOR SURE THIS ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY COVERAGE 14882. I TOLD DEALERSHIP A THIS AND THEY SAID THEY ARE ONLY GOING WITH WHAT GMC SAYS WHICH IS THAT MY VIN # IS NOT COVERED BUT THEY WERE WILLING TO SPLIT THE COST WITH ME (ROUGHLY $850, ADMITTING PARTIAL FAULT, LOL) I SAID NO AND THEN PLE

TURNED WIPERS ON TO THE LOW SETTING. THE WIPER BLADE ARMS MOVED TO THE UP POSITION AND STOPPED. I TURN THE SWITCH TO OFF, WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND TURNED THEM BACK ON. WIPERS BLADE ARMS DID NOT MOVE, BUT I COULD HEAR THE MOTOR RUN LIKE IT WOULD IF I WERE TO TURN THEM ON. IT'S ALMOST LIKE THE ARMS BECAME DISLOCATED FROM THE JOINT THE SHOULD BE CONNECTED TOO! I WAS PARKED IN MY LOT AT WORK, POURING DOWN RAIN. I GOT OUT AND TRIED GIVING THE ARMS A LITTLE PUSH TO MAYBE GET THEM TO MOVE . NOTHING. I WAS ABLE TO MANUALLY MOVE THEM TO DOWN POSITION AND WAITED FOR THE RAIN TO STOP SO I COULD DRIVE HOME. I'VE ALREADY HAD THIS CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES AND IS CURRENTLY UNDER THE OIL CONSUMTION RECALL. REPLACED THE TIMING CHAIN, NEW PISTONS AND RINGS.

I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, EXITED THE VEHICLE, WALKED 10-20 STEPS FROM THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE RESTARTED ITSELF. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. PLEASE ADD THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE TO THE RECALL LIST.

I PARKED, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR APPROXIMATELY AN HOUR AND A HALF BEFORE I RE-ENTERED THE VEHICLE TO RETRIEVE SOME ITEMS FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE. AS I CLOSED THE DOOR AND USED THE KEY FOB TO LOCK THE VEHICLE, IT RESTARTED ITSELF. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT IT IS NOT THEIR ISSUE AND THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. PLEASE ADD THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE TO THE RECALL CALL LIST FOR THIS ISSUE PRIOR TO PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGES OCCURRING.

THIS VEHICLE CONTINUES TO RESTART ITSELF AFTER I HAVE EXITED AND LOCKED THE VEHICLE. THEY KEYS ARE NOT IN THE IGNITION, THE KEYS ARE IN MY HAND. PLEASE PUT THIS VEHICLE ON THE RECALL LIST AND MAKE THINGS RIGHT. THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS.

I PARKED MY VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY. UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE I USED THE KEY FOB TO LOCK THE VEHICLE, IT BEEPED AND BEGAN TO WALK AWAY. AS I WAS ABOUT 10 STEPS FROM THE VEHICLE, IT BEEPED AGAIN AS IF I HIT THE FOB AND RESTARTED ITSELF. IT LITERALLY RESTARTED ITSELF. THEY KEYS WERE NOT IN THE IGNITION, THEY WERE IN MY HAND. I WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE USING THE KEY FOB AND HAD TO MANUALLY OPEN THE DOOR USING THE ACTUAL KEY IN THE DOOR LOCK. I WAS UNABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF BY REINSERTING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. I WIGGLED THE SHIFTER AND THE CAR TURNED OFF. THIS IS THE FOURTH THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING WHILE THE KEYS WERE NOT IN THE IGNITION AND IT IS THE SECOND TIME THE VEHICLE RESTARTED ITSELF WITHOUT THE KEY BEING IN THE IGNITION. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR TO ADD THIS VEHICLE TO THE RECALL LIST? PROPERTY DAMAGE AND PERSONAL INJURY WILL EVENTUALLY OCCUR AND THEN I WILL SUE GMC FOR DAMAGES. I AM OFFICIALLY PUTTING GMC ON NOTICE. PLEASE RECALL THIS VEHICLE AND FIX THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LIFTGATE FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY AND WOULD LOWER VERY QUICKLY WHEN ACTIVATED. NORMAN GALE BUICK GMC (973-267-1100, 1247 NJ-10, CEDAR KNOLLS, NJ 07927) WAS CONTACTED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,867.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THIS MORNING IN THE POURING RAIN THE WIPERS JUST STOPPED. NO ISSUE OR WARNINGS PRIOR TO NOT WORKING ANYMORE. YOU CAN HEAR THE MOTOR TRYING TO MOVE THE WIPERS BUT THE WIPERS JUST SIT THERE.

09/08/18 I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. I GOT SOME ITEMS FROM MY TRUNK AND WENT ABOUT MY BUSINESS. ABOUT 45 MINUTES LATER, I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE ONLY TO NOTICE THE LIGHTS WERE ON AND IT WAS RUNNING. I WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE USING THE KEY FOB AND HAD TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR. I PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AGAIN AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I WIGGLED THE GEAR SHIFT AND IT FINALLY TURNED OFF. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. PLEASE ADD MY VEHICLE TO THE RECALL LIST AS THIS IS THE EXACT ISSUE THAT THE OTHER GMC TERRAIN 2012 ARE HAVING.

I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, TURNED THE IGNITION OFF, REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. I GOT SOME ITEMS FROM MY TRUNK AND WENT ABOUT MY BUSINESS. I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE A FEW MINUTES LATER ONLY TO NOTICE THE LIGHTS WERE ON AND IT WAS RUNNING. I WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE USING THE KEY FOB AND HAD TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE DOOR. I PUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AGAIN AND IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I WIGGLED THE GEAR SHIFT AND IT FINALLY TURNED OFF. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. PLEASE ADD MY VEHICLE TO THE RECALL LIST BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR BEFORE THERE IS PROPERTY DAMAGE.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2012 GMC TERRAIN FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS. IN THAT TIME HAVE HAD TO HAVE SEVERAL REPAIRS DONE. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND EVERY TIME IT DOES THE DEALERSHIP FINDS A NEW ISSUE. I WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MY ENGINE. HOWEVER, WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE WITH OUT AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AND CHARGING ME EACH TIME THEY PUT IN OIL. THE VEHICLE RUNS HARD AND MAKES A LOT OF NOISE. I HAVE ALREADY PUT IN SEVERAL THOUSANDS IN REPAIRS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WOULD JUST LIKE THE VEHICLE TO RUN CORRECTLY.

THE CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR SOLENOID ON MY VEHICLE FAILED AS I WAS CROSSING AN INTERSECTION, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. FROM MY RESEARCH, THIS IS A VERY, VERY COMMON OCCURENCE IN THESE ENGINES THAT GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT SINCE 2010. IT IS THE RESULT OF A DEFECTIVE PART AND OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES. GM ISSUED A VOLUNTARY RECALL FOR THE SAME EXACT PART IN THE 2011 TERRAIN MODELS, YET DID NOT ISSUE ANY RECALLS FOR THE 2012 MODELS, EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE EXACT SAME PART AND THE EXACT SAME MOTOR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO LOSE POWER AT A CRITICAL TIME - WHEN THE DRIVER ATTEMPTS TO ACCELERATE. I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED ACCIDENTS BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH IN HEAVY RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THE CONTACT HAD TO PULL THE VEHCLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD UNTIL THE RAIN STOPPED. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COURTESY BUICK/GMC LAFAYETTE (4750 JOHNSTON STREET, LAFAYETTE, LA, 70506) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND CASE NUMBER: 8-4506862182 WAS FILED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,000. *TT UPDATED 11/19/18*JB

I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION TO MY 2012 GMC TERRAIN, REMOVED THE KEY AND OPENED THE TRUNK/HATCH TO RETRIEVE SOME ITEMS. AS I ATTEMPTED TO LOCK THE VEHICLE I REALIZED IT WAS STILL RUNNING. I WAS UNABLE TO USE THE KEY FOB TO UNLOCK THE DOORS AND HAD TO OPEN THEM MANUALLY. IT TOOK TWO ATTEMPTS AT INSERTING THE KEY IN TO THE IGNITION AND TURNING IT "OFF" BEFORE THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY TURNED OFF. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE YET ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP "NOT WITH MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE" AND THEY WON'T EVEN LOOK AT IT WITH. PLEASE INCLUDE MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE IN THIS RECALL THAT WAS MADE ON 07/05/2016 STATING "GENERAL MOTORS LLC (GM) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR...AS THE ELECTRONIC PARK LOCK LEVER MAY ALLOW THE IGNITION KEY TO BE REMOVED WITHOUT THE TRANSMISSION BEING IN PARK. ALSO, CERTAIN...2011-2013 GMC TERRAIN VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN SERVICED WITH SIMILAR DEFECTIVE REPLACEMENT ELECTRONIC PARK LOCK LEVERS. AS SUCH, THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) NUMBER 114 "THEFT PROTECTION AND ROLLAWAY PREVENTION." PLEASE AMEND THIS RECALL TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE.

EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. TIMING CHAIN FAILURE. PISTONS, RINGS, EXHAUST MANIFOLD, MUFFLER, DOOR REGULATOR, WIPER MOTOR, TRANSMISSION FAILURE. VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND WAITED FOR THE RAIN TO STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HANK GRAFF CHEVROLET DAVISON (800 N STATE RD, DAVISON, MI 48421, 810-653-4111) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIPER TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 82,000. *TT *TR

DRIVING IN THE POURING RAIN WITH MY FAMILY (MY HUSBAND, MY 10 DAUGHTER AND 3 YEAR OLD SON) AT 58 MILES PER HOUR WHEN WE HIT A DOWNPOUR OF RAIN. I TURNED MY WIPERS FROM LOW TO HIGH. THEY MADE ABOUT 3 OR 4 SWIPES THEN STUCK IN THE VERTICAL POSITION. I LOST ALL VISUAL OF THE ROAD, SLOWED DOWN, FOUND A PLACE TO SAFELY TURN OFF. MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE WIPERS FROM OUTSIDE THE CAR BUT COULDN'T REGAIN ANY FUNCTION. LUCKILY WE WERE ABOUT 3 MILES FROM HOME, HEADED ON A DAY TRIP APPROXIMATELY 100 MILES AWAY. WE TURNED BACK AND TRADED FOR MY HUSBAND'S TRUCK FOR THE TRIP. WE TESTED THE WIPERS AGAIN AT HOME, YOU CAN HEAR THE MOTOR RUNNING, THEN A THUNK SOUND AND NOTHING. I HAVEN'T TAKEN THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIR YET, AS THIS JUST HAPPENED ABOUT AN HOUR AGO.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND THE CODE COMING UP IS FOR THE CAMSHAFT PISTION. I HAD IT REPLACES AND WHEN I RUN MY AC FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR IN PARK, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE TRUCK WILL DIE, OR THE TRUCK WILL DIE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT COME ON. THE TRUCK IS ALSO MAKING A LOUD RUMBLING NOSE.

MY GRANDDAUGHTER AND I WERE PARKED OUTSIDE A GROCERY STORE. WE CAME OUT WITH SEVERAL BAGS AND MY GRANDDAUGHTER OPENED THE BACK LIFT GATE. IT WENT UP AND THEN CAME BACK DOWN AGAIN. IT DIDN'T STAY UP. I TRIED TO OPEN IT AGAIN WITH MY KEY AND IT DID THE SAME THING. WENT UP, HESITATED AND CAME BACK DOWN AGAIN. I STOPPED OPENING THE GATE AND PUT BAGS INSIDE. I TOOK HER HOME THEN DROVE HOME MYSELF. I SHOWED MY HUSBAND WHAT THE BACK GATE WAS DOING. I CALLED THE FORD DEALER I BOUGHT MY TERRAIN FROM LAST YEAR (FEBRUARY 2017) AND GOT APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE TODAY. THE FORD SERVICE CALLED THE CHEVROLET SERVICE AND REFERRED ME TO THEM FOR SERVICE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER WHO CHECKED IF MY CAR WAS ON ANY RECALL, SHE SAID THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS, BUT WE BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH MAY COVER THE COSTS. HOWEVER, I HAVE TO PAY THE FIRST $200 OF ANY SERVICE REPAIRS. I DON'T BELIEVE THE BACK GATE SHOULD STOP WORKING WHEN THE REST OF MY CAR WORKS FINE. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO GET HELP TO REPAIR MY CAR'S BACK GATE?

PURCHASED 2012 GMC TERRAIN. STARTED RUNNING POORLY AND EVENTUALLY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WAS UNABLE TO GET AN INSPECTION STICKER SO I TOOK IT TO GM DEALER. I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TIMING CHAIN REPLACED. $1800. I THEN ASKED IF IT COULD HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE RECAL LETTER L RECIEIVED THAT SPECIFIED EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE DEALER ADVISED ME IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH TIMING CHAIN. I REFUSED TO PAY AND TOOK IT TO MY OWN MECHANIC. HE FOUND LACK OF OIL AND SLUDGE IN MY ENGINE. AFTER FLUSHING IT OUT AND PUTTING NEW OIL IN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF. I THEN TOOK IT BACK TO GM AND REQUESTED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST. THE DEALER DETERMINED THAT MY VEHICLE BURNED 1 QUART OF OIL AT 1000 MILES. THE VEHICLE FAILED THE CONSUMPTION TEST. THEY NOW HAVE ADVISED ME THAT THEY ARE REPLACING PISTONS, RINGS AND TIMING CHAIN. VERY FRUSTRATED THAT I WAS LIED TO ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HAVE SPENT ALOT OF MONEY OUT OF POCKET THAT WAS TOTALLY NOT NEEDED TO BE SPENT.

DRIVING ON I-85 @ 65 MPH IN MORNING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC WHEN EXTREMELY HEAVY DOWNPOURS BEGAN. I TURNED ON WIPERS TO FULL SPEED THEY SWIPED 3 TIMES THEN STOPPED WORKING. THE DRIVER SIDE BLADE WENT BEYOND THE WINDOW EDGE AND STOPPED, WITH BOTH BLADES IN A VERTICAL POSITION. I IMMEDIATELY LOST ALL VISIBILITY. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HWY, WAITED 30 MINUTES FOR THE RAIN TO STOP. DROVE TO A AAA CAR CARE CENTER WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED A BLOWN WIPER TRANSMISSION (MOTOR). COST $501 TO REPAIR. THE 2013 HAS A RECALL FOR THE WIPERS IN THE U.S., CANADA HAS A RECALL FOR 2010-2017 FOR THE WIPERS. GMC CLAIMS MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS NOT MADE IN THE SAME FACTORY WITH THE SAME PARTS AS THE VEHICLES PART OF THE RECALL (EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE STICKERS ON THE INSIDE DOOR TOUTING ITS CANADIAN LINEAGE). THEY ALSO CLAIM THAT BECAUSE I HAD IT FIXED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THERE IS NO WAY TO SAY FOR SURE THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A DEFECT...I GUESS THEY EXPECTED ME TO TAKE MY CHANCES AND TRY TO BEAT THE RAIN TO A GMC DEALER RATHER THAN THE CLOSEST SHOP. THE AAA MECHANIC HIMSELF SAID THIS WAS EXTREMELY RARE TO HAVE A WIPER MOTOR FAILURE UNLESS I LIVED UP NORTH AND FREQUENTLY CLEARED THE WEIGHT OF SNOW AND ICE OFF MY WINDSHIELD WITH THE WIPERS. I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE IN THE U.S. FOR WIPER MALFUNCTIONS ON THE 2012 GMC TERRAIN. I COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON A MAJOR HWY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN THE POURING RAIN. THIS IS A

MY 2012 GMC TERRAIN 2.4L IS HAVING AN ISSUE WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I AM CONSTANTLY HAVING TO CHECK MY OIL AND IT GETS TO 1 QT OR MORE LOW BETWEEN MY 5K OIL CHANGES. I'VE SEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS WITH THIS. BECAUSE OF THIS I HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON INDICATING MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER MAY BE BAD. IVE HAD THE CAR FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS. IT SHOULDN'T NEED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ALREADY. MY CAR IS DUE FOR SMOG NEXT MONTH AND I'VE AKREADY HAD TO REPMACE THE INTAKE AND EXHAUST SENSORS ON THE ENGINE BECAUSE OF THE OIL ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION BEING DRIVEN. IT IS EATING UP OIL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED.

GMC DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO PERFORM DIAGNOSIS ON MY CAR DUE TO MY REFUSAL TO PAY FOR RULING OUT THE DOCUMENTED FUEL LEAK RECALL/SPECIAL COVERAGE. MY REQUEST WAS ONLY TO HAVE FUEL THE ISSUE LOOKED AT AND RULED OUT, NOTHING FURTHER, TO ENSURE THIS WAS NOT CAUSING MY PROBLEM. I REPORTED MY PROBLEMS THAT ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE NOTED FUEL SPECIAL COVERAGE AND TURNED AWAY BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE $120 TO PAY IF THEY FOUND IT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. UPON READING MY ISSUE CORRELATES WITH NUMEROUS TERRAIN AND EQUINOX OWNERS. I WANT IN THIS ACTION TO GET SOMETHING DONE FOR PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE DRIVER CRASHED INTO A LANDSCAPING TRUCK. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

I EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH MY GMC TERRAIN. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER (DORAL GMC, IN MIAMI, FL) ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WITH NO RESPONSE. I HAVE SUBMITTED A WRITTEN COMPLAINT TO GMC ON APRIL 10TH, 2012 AND NEVER RECEIVED A REPLY. I'VE EXPERIENCED CONTINUOUS CAR PROBLEMS SINCE THE PURCHASE OF MY VEHICLE. WITHIN THE FIRST 3 MONTHS OF PURCHASE MY CAR HAD ALREADY BEEN KEPT AT THE DEALER FOR 30 DAYS ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. VEHICLE PROBLEMS WERE, FOR EXAMPLE; THE AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT TURNED ON, CAR TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, THIS ISSUE WAS TAKEN CARE OF BUT RETURNED SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE IT CORRECTED AS IT KEPT HAPPENING. THE VEHICLE ALSO EXPERIENCED TRANSMISSION ISSUES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO KEPT TURNING ON AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULDN'T FIGURE ANYTHING OUT WITH MY VEHICLE.THIS WAS MY FIRST GMC PURCHASE AND IT HAS BEEN MY ABSOLUTE WORST EXPERIENCE WITH ANY AMERICAN CAR COMPANY. THE LATEST ISSUE SINCE DECEMBER OF 2017 HAS BEEN THE AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT ONCE AGAIN AND THE STABILITY TRACK LIGHT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE ONCE AGAIN AND I WAS CHARGED FOR DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE SO THAT THE ISSUE COULD BE FOUND FOR EACH ISSUE AND WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $135.00 PER ISSUE. I ONLY PAID FOR THE AIRBAG ISSUE SINCE IT SEEMED TO BE THE MOST DANGEROUS ONE AND WAS TOLD BY SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THE MODULE KIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS NEW CHARGE WAS $ 823.90 THAT I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE A FACTORY ONE AND I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURS

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THIS SUV, IT WAS FINE. THEN TWO YEARS INTO HAVING THIS VEHICLE I HAD TO KEEP PUTTING OIL INTO IT. IT TURNS OUT THAT THIS YEAR CAR HAS AN OIL COMSUPTION RECALL. HOWEVER, I HAD TO GO IN FOR A TEST, I ALMOST RAN OUT OF OIL WITHIN A WEEK MY CAR WOULD STALL ON THE HIGHWAY, I WAS ALSO REAR ENDED BECAUSE IT WOULD OUT OF OIL WHEN IT WASN'T SUPPOSE TO. IN DEC 2017 I TOOK THE CAR IN AND GOT THE CAR RECALL DONE WHICH WAS NO CHARGE TO ME. HOWEVER, TWO DAYS AFTER THE RECALL WAS DONE MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH IS CAPPELLINO BUICK GMC IN WILLIAMSVILLE AND THEY CHARGED ME THE 119 TO DIANOGSIS THE CAR AND TELL ME THAT IT WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. HE TOLD ME THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS NOT COVERED ENOUGH THOUGH HE STATES THAT THEY KNOW THAT THE ENGINE CONSUMPTION RECALL MADE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER GET CLOGGED. I HAVE CHANGED MY O2 SENSOR TWICE AND I WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO CHANGE IT AGAIN BECAUSE ONCE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER GOES, TYPICALLY THE O2 SENSORS GO AS WELL. IF YOUR CAR IS CONSUMING A LOT OF OIL, BLOWING BLACK SMOKE AND IT IS A GMC TERRAIN (NO MATTER THE YEAR), GET IT CHECKED, HONESTLY, I AM NOT BEING OVERDRAMATIC, IT COULD BE LIFE OR DEATH. IF YOU HAVE KIDS AND YOU HAVE THE CAR, GO FOR A OIL CONSUMPTION TEST ASAP. MY CAR STALLED OUT ON THE HIGHWAY, STOP LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS, EVEN WHEN NOT COMPLETELY STOPPED OR PERFORMING A "ROLLING STOP".

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, I EXPERIENCED STRONG KNOCKING VIBRATIONS AND SOUNDS SEEMINGLY COMING THROUGH THE FLOORBOARD. AS I CONTINUED DRIVING FOR ABOUT 5 MILES TRYING TO GET HOME, THE KNOCKING BECAME MORE PRONOUNCED AND MY STEERING WAS AFFECTED. I ALSO BEGAN NOTICING AN EXTREMELY STRONG ODOR NECESSITATING LOWERING WINDOWS TO BREATHE. I NOTIFIED MY DEALERSHIP AND TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR DIAGNOSIS THE VERY NEXT MORNING WITHOUT DRIVING IT AFTER ARRIVING TO MY GARAGE. I WAS TOLD THE AWD HAD COMPLETELY DETERIORATED. MY CONCERN WAS THAT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY DASHBOARD NOTIFICATION OF THE PROBLEM, NOT DID MY ONSTAR DIAGNOSIS INDICATE A PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN QUITE DISTURBED THAT THE VEHICLE BECAME DISABLED BEFORE I WAS AWARE OF ANY PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AT MY GMC DEALERSHIP AND WOULD LIKE AN EXPLANATION REGARDING THE FAILURE TO IDENTIFY THIS PROBLEM THROUGH THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE CHECKS. I AM SINGLE SENIOR WOMAN WHO HAS NO BACKUP VEHICLE AND AM QUITE CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY ON THE HIGHWAY AND THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED ME TO HAVE SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS. I DROVE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK ON THE PROBLEM ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 2018. I CALLED THE GMC COMPLAINT CENTER TO CHECK ON POSSIBLE RECALLS OR ANY REMAINING WARRANTIES THAT MIGHT APPLY AND I WAS TOLD THE CENTER WAS ASSIGNING A SR. ADVISOR TO CONTACT THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP THAT STILL HAS MY CAR AND THE ADVISOR WAS TOLD THE DEALERSHIP NEEDED MORE TIME TO DIAGNOSE AND ASSESS THE CAUSE OF T

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 55 MPH HOUR MY SUV BEGAN TO SHAKE EXTREMELY AND WAS THROTTLING AT VERY HIGH RPM'S AND THE SUV THRASH TO SUDDEN HALT AND CONTINUED TO SHAKE AND IDLE VERY HIGH AND LOUD. I TRIED TO HIT THE GAS TO GET MYSELF OFF THE ROAD AS I WAS ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY WITH MY 4 YEAR OLD SON IN THE CAR, AND THE ENGINE REVVED AND THE RPM'S SPIKED BUT I WENT NOT MORE THAN 15 MPH, AT THE SAME TIME THE FOLLOWING ERRORS APPEARED ON MY SCREEN: 1) SERVICE STABAILI TRAK 2) ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED SLOWLY I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET THE CAR UP TO 35 MPH AND GET US HOME SAFE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SEEMS THAT THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH GMC SO I CONTACTED GMC AND WAS BASICALLY GIVEN THE RUNAROUND. I TOOK THE CAR TO A GMC DEAR TODAY AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP THAT NEEDED REPLACED.....

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CONTINUALLY COMES ONE AND OFF. AT FIRST, WHEN MY HUSBAND TURNED ON THE TRUCK AND SAW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WE TOOK IT IN AND THE ERROR WAS FOR 1 COIL PACK. IT WAS FINE FOR A MONTH, THEN AFTER STARTING THE TRUCK AGAIN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND WE REPLACED ALL OF THE COIL PACKS. NOW WHEN WE START THE TRUCK, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT MAY BE ON OR OFF. AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK, WHEN WE START THE TRUCK THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL BE ON. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REOCCURRING AND HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR CLOSE TO A YEAR. THE LAST 5 OR 6 TIMES WE HAD IT PUT ON THE MACHINE THERE HAVE BEEN NO ERRORS FOUND AND OUR MECHANIC'S BAFFLED. ESPECIALLY SINCE THE TRUCK MAY STUTTER OR BECOME SLUGGISH OR SHUT OFF LIKE BEFORE WHENEVER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES BACK ON. IF SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH OUR VEHICLE BUT NO ERRORS ARE FOUND WE HAVE NO CLUE IF THERE IS TRULY SOMETHING OCCURRING AND IF IT'S CAUSING SERIOUS DAMAGE AND HARM TO OUR FAMILY. OUR VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN CANADA AND WE AREN'T SURE IF THERE COULD BE ISSUES BEING REPORTED IN CANADA THAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT. IN ADDITION, THERE ARE RECALLS THAT WE WEREN'T NOTIFIED OF BUT NOTHING PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED OR DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR DEALER. MONUMENT CHEVROLET (3940 PASADENA FWY, PASADENA, TX 77503, (713) 473-7601) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALL CAMPAIGNS TO REPLACE THE PART. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON 2/1/18 ON I94 AT 72 MPH, MY CAR STARTING SPUTTERING AND SMOKING. IT THEN STARTED MAKING A VERY LOUD NOISE AND MY WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SAYING TO SHUT OFF MY ENGINE. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND I HAD TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER OF THE INTERSTATE. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WHO SENT A TOW TRUCK AND TOWED ME TO MY MECHANIC'S GARAGE. THE MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT THE NEXT MORNING AND ADVISED THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE ENGINE BLOCK AND ALL THE OIL LEAKED OUT OF THE HOLE, LEAVING OIL ALL OVER THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF MY VEHICLE. I FILED AN INSURANCE CLAIM, THE INSURANCE ADJUSTOR LOOKED AT IT MONDAY AND DEEMED IT TO BE MECHANICAL FAILURE. I HAVE 110,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE.
