GMC Terrain

"2.4 Ecotek engine is a poorly engineered disaster."

"Transverse engine balancer chain stretched and cause catastrophic failure. Needed a new engine. GMC DID NOT PAY even though it was a known issue"

"Replaced pistons, rods and bearings to correct clicking noise. Was covered by GM"

"My dealer got us a new engine instead of an engine rebuild. I appreciate that and will continue to use them for service, repairs and new vehicle purchases"

"I had the timing chain and other parts replaced. Some months I had to have the Pistons, rods, spark plugs and quite a bit of related items replaced. All under warranty. The dealer said this was quite common on 4 cylinder models"

"used motor oil"

"Engine using oil - add 1Q every 1000/1500 miles. began at 65000 miles - 5/2013. No solution provided by GM dealer. 9/2014-Engine lost a cylinder on trip. Still under warranty - rec'd new engine. 1 mth later GM had recall on 4 cyl & 6 cyl eng"

"oil consumption required partial engine rebuild after oil consumption monitoring for a number of weeks. all covered under warranty"

"Known recall and had to jump through hoops to get them to replace the Pistons and rings"

"Engine used oil for unexplained reason so GM opted to replace it"

"The rings were defective in the original engine. It was already burning oil when we bought it with 106000 miles. GM sent us a recall about it but wouldn't cover any of the cost since it was over 120000 miles at that point. The engine burned more and more oil, burning out the catalytic converter which was a thousand dollars to replace alone. After deteriorating to burning over a quart of oil a week, the engine died four miles from home and we barely made it back home, then two miles to the mechanic. Replacing the engine and catalytic converter cost almost $6000."

"Oil consumption problem was taken care of under warrenty"

"Started using oil and GM finally authorized an engine rebuild, rings,bearings etc"

"Recall on my car that I was told I didn't need. Timing Chain failed and introduced metal shavings into the engine. Luckily an extended warranty replaced the engine. Still lost use of vehicle for 3 weeks"

"continues to give warning light - GM has recall by will not fix "until gets real loud" Did extend warranty-Also oil - when starts burning a lot - bring it in - Also warning not to drive too long straight on interstate as steering will fail - Real G.M"

"The vehicle had the reduced power warning light come on three times which required three towing trips to the dealership. Two of the fixes were covered by the power train warranty"

"Replaced timing chain, due to noisy engine. Covered by GM"

"while a severe issue, it was repaired under warranty and has not caused an issue afterwarrds"

"had to be replaced 4 days after warranty expired"

"Timing and related parts all failed just before warranty expired. Fuel pump blew a year before this and contaminated the oil in the engine"

"The timing belt was replaced three times by dealership"

"Bad timing chain from factory"

"early failure, needed replacement"

"Balance chain stretched and had to be replaced. Timing chain also had to be replaced. Manufacturer defect"

"timing chain was replaced prior to the recall for the oil USge"

"Check engine light would go off and on...then stayed on continuously. The dealer informed me I had a bad timing chain. The car is no longer warranty however, GM had a service bulletin issued..After I insisted that the problem was known by GM and they hadn't issued a dealer bulletin or recall, GM agreed to cover 50% under warranty which cost me $982. I was furious"

"A recall for timing belt and pulley was performed in 2013. Had timing belt pulley issue again. Repaired by Firestone, They found loose timing pulley/tensioning bolt. It cost $1,100"

"3 bearings went at 50,000 miles had to replace caliper etc"

"One caliper wouldn’t release properly causing excessive wear. Electronic sensor was defective and had to be replaced."

"There was no problem until I got into the car and there were no brakes. I drove to the closes garage they pulled it in pulled the back wheels off and showed me the master cylinder. they could not it from the dealers so he had to go to another company it took over a week to get the part and install. I was so glad I was close to home to get help, this is the last major problem I have had, if there is another the car will go."

"Brake pads needed to be replaced"

"Unresponsive braking"

"I felt I got 70000 miles out of my first set of brakes and rotors which is probably above average. No complaints."

"Brake shoe linings on parking brake debunked from the shoe resulting in no parking brakes. New emergency shoes and rotors had to be installed as well as the rear disc brake pads"

"Needed new brakes after only 20,000 miles"

"The main Rotor was gone with no warning.there was a problem until that morning."

"Replaced to bear failure"

"Brakes make a clicking sound at very slow or breaking while creeping to a stop"

"The front end squeaked all the time"

"Peeling paint on the inside bottom of doors"

"Chronic rust problems with the design of the doors. So much is outside of the weather molding that the doors are self destructing at the bottoms. Rust now also appearing on fenders and rear door"

"Rust at the bottom of the doors, addressed in a recall by GM but has re-appeared. Additionally rust on the tailgate and lower front 1/4 panels"

"The bottom INSIDE of the doors - all 4 are rusted where the outter-skin waswelded to the innder door framing. All at the bottom. Also 1 spot on right rear wheel opening, at the top, about center to the opening. Car spent from 5/2010 until2/2018 in northeast Ohio winters. Except for the doors and 1 wheel opening though, the paint finish is fine and looks good. Of course, the factory rust through issues DID NOT appear until AFTER the factory rust warranty expired. Such a shame too, car has only 82,000 mile, and drives fine."

"Liftgate and bottom of doors (inside) both exhibited rust before warranty expired"

"The paint on the inside of the doors, near the bottom is flaking and now rusting"

"tiny rust spots emerged. also, GMC issued a recall for premature rust on door hems"

"the bottom of all four doors on the inside along the bottom seam started to rust after four years . When I talked to the dealership they said it was not within the warranty period . I told them I had researched this and it was a common problem. Th"

"The paint on the back of the car near the chrome that goes across with the GMC logo chipped and is rusting. I didn't scratch the paint or hit anything. It almost seems like the pain just peeled off b/c of the location. Very frustrating"

"Paint around wheel well lip peeled off in places resulting in rust perforation on one fender"

"Rust on hatch from fasteners that were used"
