Complaints for my 2013 GMC Terrain flex fuel when I was at a stop light with a 4 lane intersection. Whenever the light changed the vehicle sputter out or quit when I took my foot off the brake to press the gas pedal. The vehicle behind me almost rear ended the back of my SUV. Also, having to hold brake and gas pedal at the same time during stops to keep the vehicle from going dead. The first repair was a month ago due to code p0013 and p0014 which my mechanic repaired the camshaft sensor and accelerator sensors. Those were repaired and the check engine light was still on and I returned it back to my mechanic who repaired the sensors again because the parts had a warranty. Once again after leaving my mechanics shop the check engine light came right back on after driving 8 miles. Also, let me say I do trust my mechanic, as he has worked on my past and current vehicles with no problems. Anyway, my mechanic could not get a problem code on the Terrain so the next day the vehicle was promptly taken to my local GMC dealership to see if they could diagnose the problem. The mechanic at the GMC dealership stated the vehicle needed a timing chain and gears, which was going to run $1100-$1500 to fix. I don't have that kind of money and vehicle is not covered by a warranty due to the year and mileage. After doing some research on the internet, it seems several consumers are experiencing this same safety issues with the GMC Terrains. I have only had my SUV for a few months and my dream vehicle has turned into a nightmare. I had three local mechanics within the last month say �those vehicles are bad to give trouble� and my mechanic stated there has been numerous recalls on the Terrains over the years. This is not safe and something needs to be done by the GMC manufacturing company. The check engine light is still on. Thank you.

For the past year I have noticed that I had to add 1 to 2 quarts of oil in between oil changes. I made a right turn and went to excelerate up a small incline and my dash went completely black and my vehicle shut off and started rolling backwards. I applied the break, turned the key off and attempted to restart my Terrain and it would not start. I had to have the vehicle towed home. The next day our mechanic came by our home to look over my vehicle, when the computer was plugged in numerous codes were listed. At that time our mechanic informed us that the motor needed to be replaced. I started to do research and found that this issue is known by gm. I contact gm customer service and was told that my vehicle is outside of the parameters that gm is willing to cover. After additional research found that there is a class action lawsuit for this exact issue with equinoxes and Terrains. Called the dealership where we purchased our Terrain and was referred back to gm customer service, so I called gm customer service again, the representive was very rude and again informed me that I would have to pay out of pocket to repair my vehicle or I could file a complaint with the NHTSA. I have contacted gm customer service 2 additional times as well as the dealership with no luck of a resolution and gm acknowledging that my vehicle would have been included in the "special warranty" however I am outside the 120,000 miles, per the gm representative I have to pay out of pocket to repair or replace my vehicle as they are not responsible due to my current mileage.
