Loud Engine Noise problems of the 2013 GMC Terrain

Car has started excessively using oil and ringing sound from engine. Roaring sound when it starts. I purchased car Sep '17, with 125k miles. Received a letter today may 8, 2020 saying this is an issue. Called gm says this service warranty has expired, but I just received letter today. Says previous owner probably received letter but that doesn't help current owner. I had previously visited a gm dealer 3 times and this was never mentioned to me. I want my repairs covered because someone dropped the ball and it wasn't me. It is not fair that I wasn't notified sooner I would have brought it in to be checked.

Out of nowhere my car just died when I got to work, and then again twice on my way home. I took it to get tested the next day and was told it was the timing chain. I drove it 3 blocks to a dealership, and on the way the engine light came on and heard a loud noise. Prior to this, no indicator lights of any kind came on, no strange noises, no warning whatsoever. Diagnosis was that I needed a new engine. With only 92,000 miles on vehicle, my engine is now ruined (with no warning at all), and I have to come up with thousands of dollars to fix it. How has this not been a recall situation at this point given all of the complaints for the same thing - sudden engine issues resulting in engine replacement with less than 100,000 miles. Gm please do something to make this right.

I purchased my 2013 GMC Terrain on Nov 2, 2018. I had the oil changed less than 2 weeks later. On Dec 9, 2018, after leaving church, my husband & I stopped at the store. When we got ready to leave, I started my car & it made a loud noise so I turned it off. I tried to crank it again & it would just spin. My husband got out to check the oil & found no oil on the dipstick. It was 2 qrts low. No warning or anything. After having it towed, twice, we are being told it has jumped time. Not only would we need to replacing the timing change, but possibly the valves as well. My husband contacted a local dealership & was told, due to complaints, the dealership can replace the motor & GMC will pay them back. However, my car is 1,000 miles over the motor warranty or whatever. They are recommending me get another engine to put it. So, with the engine, plus labor, I am looking at $4. 000 I don't have to spend. My 2nd payment just came out of my account for a car I can't drive, nor have the money to fix. The oil level is most likely the cause of the timing chain breaking. Obviously GMC knows there's a problem & this needs to be addressed. My car was sold as is, no additional warranty. Love the car & would rather have it fixed, but may be letting to go back & go against my credit, because of this. Very disappointed GMC.

Extremely disappointed with my 2013 GMC Terrain. It has a 2. 4 cylinder engine that consumes too much oil between oil changes. A technical service bulletin was issued by gm for the problem but they have not done a full recall yet. Vehicle was stalling due to low oil issues. Intake solenoid had to be replaced because of low oil levels. Transmission fluid leaked from trans torque converter seal, left rear wheel hub had to be replaced due to bearings going bad all with just 52k miles. The engine specifically in my vehicle is a safety hazard/concern for anyone with a family. My wife is a nanny and does not drive the vehicle aggressively. I had driven this vehicle not very many miles on a new fresh oil change and the next time I went to check my oil the dipstick had no oil on it!! I was furious because there was not a light that indicator that came on in my vehicle to tell me I had low oil or anything!! also have a problem with the loud noise of tires when going down highway . . I did like this vehicle when I first got it but ever since then I have been disappointed in what is going on . .

Tl- the contact owns a 2013 GMC Terrain. The contact stated that the service engine indicator illuminated and an abnormal noise was heard. In addition, the instrument panel shorted out due to an electrical failure, which also caused all the gauges and warning indicators not to function. The dealer (carlsbad Buick GMC Cadillac, 5334 paseo del norte, carlsbad, CA 92008, (760) 438-5311) was notified. The dealer found failure codes p0496, p0171, and p0174, which detected pressure in the evap system. The dealer stated that more diagnostic testing would be needed to determine a remedy. The vehicle was also taken to suburban Cadillac of costa mesa (2600 harbor blvd, costa mesa, CA 92626, (877) 844-8058) to schedule an appointment for diagnostic testing. The contact received a document that did not specifically indicate that it was a manufacturer recall. The contact called the manufacturer to determine if they sent her a service campaign notice pertaining to the electrical and engine components for case number: son5892167. The failure mileage was not available. Dyd.
