What Owners Say
"screen locked up. could not change fan speed, fan mode, A/C on or off, temp"
Anonymous, TX (2013 GMC Terrain SLT 3.6-L V6)"Screen will freeze, music will still be working but nothing on the electronic panel will work. You are unable to change the station"
Jennifer R., FL (2013 GMC Terrain SLT 3.6-L V6)"Screen freezes up every now and then"
Jeff W., NY (2013 GMC Terrain Denali 3.6-L V6)"The Info Ctr shut off on it's own. Once while in idle, all the channel buttons were of no use, and my defroster shut itself off. On one occasion the info line showed program text and not the name of the song on the radio. I read somewhere the battery might be the issue or to simply shut off the vehicle and wait 30 seconds and restart the car. In my case, I have a 4 year old battery."
Kathleen M., IN (2013 GMC Terrain SLT 3.6-L V6)"The touch screen suddenly went blank which took out the backup camera, the radio and all the information the screen usually presents. I didn't mind the radio so much, but the back up camera was a big deal. The dealer checked it out and announced that the radio was causing the problem. The whole unit had to be replaced. Cost $1600, but a little negotiation brought it down to $1300. A lot of money!"
Anonymous, (2013 GMC Terrain SLT 3.6-L V6)"The entire electronic panel will go blank for an unspecified period of time and nothing will work"
Jennifer R., FL (2013 GMC Terrain SLT 3.6-L V6)"Upon starting the car the display screen stays black. Can not access radio, navigation, or Bluetooth. Car must be shut off and restarted to have access"
Thomas H., PA (2013 GMC Terrain SLT 3.6-L V6)"This problem was synonymous with the radio issues"
Anonymous, AR (2013 GMC Terrain SLE 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"Not up to date; GM wants $150 for new maps; features require subscriptions to either OnStar or SiriusXM to work"
Henry S., MI (2013 GMC Terrain SLT 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"will not take input"
Anonymous, IL (2013 GMC Terrain SLT 2.4-L 4 Cyl)"Loses hookup"
Anonymous, LA (2013 GMC Terrain Denali 3.6-L V6)"The radio suddenly went out and with it all the screen displays, including the back up camera, time, temp, date, etc. Testing revealed that the radio was the problem and the whole unit was replaced. Very expensive and the dealer even forgave some $300!"
