WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE POURING RAIN WITH THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS OPERATING, BOTH FRONT WIPERS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING OUT OF NOWHERE. LUCKILY IT WAS 5:45 AM ON MY WAY TO WORK WITH NOT MANY CARS AROUND. I THREW ON MY HAZARDS AND PULLED OVER UNTIL THE RAIN CLEARED. I CHECKED THE FUSE AND IT WAS FINE, RESTARTED MY CAR TO SEE IF THEY WOULD WORK, BUT NO LUCK. COME TO FIND OUT THERE IS A RECALL THAT WAS JUST ISSUED BUT ONLY FOR 2013 GMC TERRAINS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR OTHER YEARS OF THE TERRAIN AS WELL.

DRIVING OUT OF STATE ON A HIGHWAY IN A RAIN STORM MY WIPERS QUIT WORKING. I WAS IN THE PASSING LANE DOING 70MPH, HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY ,WHEN THE RAIN LET UP I GOT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY FIXED IT AND CHARGED ME 450.00. THEY HAD SAID THERE WAS NOT A RECALL AND I HAD A PARTIAL EXTENDED WARRANTY .SO WHEN I GOT BACK FROM MY TRIP I LOOKED INTO THE RECALL INFO AND CERTIAN CARS WERE RECALLED (NOT MINE) FOR THE SAME ISSUE, CANADA RECALLED ALL YEARS FOR THIS ISSUE AND MY CAR WAS MFD BY GM OF CANADA. THEY TOLD ME MY MILES (67000) MADE IT OUT OF WARRANTY THIS IS NOT A SERVICEABLE PART AND I DID NOT HAVE MY WIPERS ON FOR 67000 MILES! MYSELF OR MY YOUNG SON COULD OF BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN KILLED AND GM IS GIVING ME A RUN AROUND ABOUT REFUNDING ME THE 450.00 , I THINK I AM BEING REASONABLE FOR MY REQUEST? THE PART NUMBER FOR THE PART REPLACED IS 84241847 WIPER TRANSMISSION MODULE

WHEN VEHICLE IS IN HOT HUMID CLIMATES. APPROX 80-100F. IT IDLES WEIRD. IT WILL CONTINUITY FIGHT ITSELF. DROPS DOWN TO 700 RPM THEN BACK UP TO CLOSE 100 AND REPEATS. EVEN WORSE WITH ECO MODE TURNED ON. BAD PROGRAMMING IT SEEMS. SOMETIMES IT SEEMS LIKE IT ALMOST STALLS.

I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR INSPECTION ON APRIL 14TH AND THEY INDICATED THERE WAS AN AIRBAG CONNECTOR ISSUE UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT (PAPERWORK INDICATES DRIVER SEAT). THE ADVISOR SAID THIS WAS A SIMPLE REPAIR AND THE TECHNICIAN FIXED IT THAT SAME DAY. OVER THAT WEEKEND THE AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON MORE FREQUENTLY AND STAYED ON FOR LONGER PERIODS OF TIME. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON APRIL 17TH. THE DIAGNOSIS THIS TIME WAS MORE IN DEPTH; THE ADVISOR INDICATED THERE WAS AN AIRBAG HIGH RESISTANCE READING ON THE DRIVER SEAT SIDE AIRBAG.

FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS THERE HAS BEEN A STEADY INCREASE IN CARBON MONOXIDE LEAK IN THE CABIN OF MY VEHICLE.

THIS VEHICLE HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE. I HAVE KEPT A CLEAN MAINTENANCE RECORD OF THIS VEHICLE. I AM A DISABLED VETERAN WITH TBI AND PTSD AND THE FUMES FROM THE CARBON MONOXIDE IN MY VEHICLE IS CAUSING MY MIGRAINES TO INTENSIFY. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE I DIE BEHIND THE WHEEL ONE DAY DRIVING IN MY VEHICLE. AS SOON AS I TURN THE VEHICLE ON, THE CARBON MONOXIDE FILLS THE CABIN UP.

3 YEARS OLD NOW AND STILL GETTING AROUND 10MPG AND FROM THE FIRST DAY I GOT IT IN 2014 THE DRIVE SHAFT IS RUSTED AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR.

DESPITE HAVING THE A/C ON LOWEST TEMP, AND BLOWING AT THE HIGHEST SPEED, IT STILL DOES NOT CIRCULATE VERY WELL THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. SO, I'M FREEZING WHILE MY SON IS BURNING UP.

I WAS DRIVING MY TERRAIN YESTERDAY, AND WENT TO ADJUST MY HEATER VENT AND WHEN I BUMPED MY IGNITION KEY, IT WENT INTO THE ACCESSORY POSITION, SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE AND POWER STEERING

IN OCTOBER 2015, I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN A RURAL AREA, AND ACCELERATED TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY PASSING SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 80 MPH. I MERGED BACK INTO THE RIGHT LANE AFTER PASSING, AND LET MY FOOT OFF THE GAS. CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ENGAGED. THE CAR CONTINUED AT THE PASSING SPEED, AND STARTED TO INCREASE IN SPEED. I WAITED A FEW SECONDS TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN BEFORE TAKING EVASIVE ACTION; AS THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS ON THE HIGHWAY AT THIS POINT. FOR 4-5 SECONDS THIS CONTINUED. I TAPPED THE BRAKE AND NO CHANGE WAS DETECTED. I THEN TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL; AND THE SPEED DISENGAGED. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER; DIAGNOSTIC WAS RUN AND THEY COULD NOT DETECT A PROBLEM. DEALER WAS OF THE OPINION THAT THIS EVENT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE DRIVE TRAIN, THEY DROVE THE CAR BUT WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS ALL SEEMED TO INDICATE THAT CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON; HOWEVER I AM SURE IT WAS NOT.

DRIVER HAD STOPPED AT STOP SIGN ON THE EXIT RAMP AND AS SHE BEGAN TO ACCELERATE TO CROSSOVER TO APPROPRIATE LANE THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND CHECK STABILITY LIGHT LIT. THIS WAS IN A VERY DANGEROUS LOCATION AS THE SIDE ROAD THE DRIVER WAS LOCATED WAS AT THE BOTTOM OF A HILL, SO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A T-BONE HIT FOR THE DRIVER AND HEAD ON FOR THE ONCOMING VEHICLE. THE CAR SLOWLY (VERY, VERY SLOWLY) MOVED FORWARD ENOUGH TO FINALLY GET ACROSS STREET AND TO A SAFE PLACE. ALTHOUGH NO ACCIDENTS OR INJURIES OCCURRED, IT WAS BY THE GRACE OF GOD THAT NO TRAFFIC WAS COMING OVER THE HILL. THIS HAD THE POTENTIAL AND HAS THE POTENTIAL OF BEING A DEADLY PROBLEM IF IT OCCURS AGAIN OR IF ANOTHER VEHICLE HAS THE SAME ISSUE. IMMEDIATELY HAD TOW TRUCK PICK UP CAR AND TAKE TO GMC DEALERSHIP. I AM AWAITING THE RESULTS FROM THE DEALERSHIP. MY WORK REQUIRES A LOT OF TRAVEL AND NOW I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR WITH THIS ISSUE (WHICH AFTER RESEARCH TODAY SEEMS TO HAPPEN A LOT IN GMC VEHICLES. ) *TR

ALSO, MY HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF WHICH I NOTICED IMMEDIATELY SINCE IT WAS DARK OUTSIDE, THE COMPUTER SYSTEM SHUT DOWN, GAS INDICATOR WENT TO E AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. I WAS ABLE TO COAST OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE AND AS THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN MY STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO LOCK UP. ONCE I WAS FULLY PULLED OVER FROM THE TRAFFIC, I BRAKED AND PUT THE CAR INTO PARK.

SINCE I WAS PULLED OVER I THOUGHT I WOULD TRY TO RESTART MY CAR. BEFORE I RESTARTED IT, I NOTICED THAT MY KEY IGNITION WAS STILL IN THE ON POSITION SO I TURNED IT BACK TO TAKE THE KEY OUT AND THEN IMMEDIATELY PLACED IT BACK IN AND TURNED IT TO SUCCESSFULLY RESTART THE CAR. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THIS CAR. I'VE HAD IT SINCE DEC. 2013 AND HAVE A LITTLE OVER 15K MILES. I WILL BE CONTACTING THE GMC DEALERSHIP REGARDING THIS ISSUE SINCE I DID NOT SEE ANY RECALLS ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. *TR

WHEN USING LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS, OVER HALF OF THE WINDSHIELD ( TOP DOWN) IS BLACKED OUT, CAUSING A RESTRICTED VISION. THERE IS A SLIGHT INCREASE IN VISION WHEN VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN ON AN UP HILL GRADE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP FOR CORRECTION. SERVICE MANAGER DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME AND EXPERIENCED THE REPORTED PROBLEM. SOLUTION TO CORRECT THE RESTRICTED VISION,WAS TO ADJUST/RAISE THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS SO THEY WOULD SHINE HIGHER TO THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE BY STATE LAW. THIS ADJUSTMENT RAISED THE BLACK OUT LEVEL BY A VERY LIMITED LEVEL. PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THIS ADJUSTMENT NOW IS CAUSING ON COMING TRAFFIC AND TRAFFIC WE ARE FOLLOWING TO THINK THAT WE ARE USING OUR HIGH BEAM LIGHTS. CALLED GMC, THEIR REPLY WAS THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE TO CORRECT THE RESTRICTED VISION. THE PROBLEM IS EXPERIENCED AT ALL SPEEDS. HEAD LIGHT ADJUSTMENT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
