2013 GMC Terrain. Consumer writes in regard to engine failure.
I have called gm on numerous occasions regarding my engine failing while driving. Stalling in the middle of busy intersections. They opened at least 7 cases involving this same situation and knowing my fear of getting killed when this vehicle just shuts off while driving or just turning a corner or waiting at a stop light!! my heater did not work, my radio will freeze up and is non functioning sometimes. . I'm afraid to drive with my grandchildren. As I write this my engine light came on again after a $1,000 repair of the timing chain. This happened while I was driving home from work at 1:30 in the morning on a country road and a sheriff deputy happened to be patrolling snd helped me by calling a towing service because my SUV would not start. . The deputy even got my manual out to see if he could figure out the problem. . When I called gm I was treated sooo disrespectfully by a girl that was assigned to my cases. . I do have receipts and the cases numbers and dates wrote down when I talked to gm. . I need a safe vehicle and I owe $19,000 still and now it's only worth $6,000. . . I'm a widow and only making ends meet. . This has been a scary struggle. . . Please help!! thank you and god bless. 🙏🏼.
I had complete engine failure because of the timing chain breaking twice for this issue. It has stranded me and hundreds of others on the side of the road while driving. There is a facebook page for it and hundreds of people say the same thing and how dangerous this is. Theres no warning, just dies on the road.
