My car has been wasting to much engine oil. Has had two oil changes in the last three months. At start up and while driving the check engine warning light illuminated and remained illuminated. While driving the vehicle there is a knocking and clicking sound coming from the engine at low speeds and especially when you first start the car until I get to higher speeds.
Tl- the contact owns 2011 GMC Terrain. The contact stated that while driving, a knocking and clicking noise occurred that was coming from the engine. The contact coasted into a parking lot and added two quart of oil, fifteen to twenty minutes later, the failure recurred with the noise louder, the vehicle started shake then lost power and stalled. The contact shifted into neutral to restart the vehicle, the vehicle was restarted and was able to drive. In addition, the contact stated that while he was making a right turn about a half a mile, the hill got steep, the vehicle lost power going down a hill. The brake was depressed but was failing to stop, the contact had to depressed the brake pedal numerous times and bring the vehicle to a stop. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed that the engine failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was later towed to stockton GMC dealer, (address unknown, (814) 238-4905) and was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure a year ago but did not assist. The failure mileage was approximately 147,000. The VIN was not available. Aw.
I use 1 qt. Of oil every 450 miles and there is a loud clattering noise on initial start up.
This vehicle boggs down when giving it gas and will often cut off after stopping for no reason. There is a noise when you start the vehicle (like a clicking noise). The vehicle do not get the 32 mpg as what is stated, I get about 20 mpg highway. The gas needle does not work properly. I will fill up and still show 1/4 short. The leather seats are buckling and dealer says its normal but know others with leather seats & not happening to them. Recently took in for "service engine" light and malfunction light. This is new car & none of these issues should be happening this soon. I feel like it's a "lemon" and dealer is no help and these problems will compound as car gets older and warranty is over I will be out of luck. Unhappy customer.
