general problems of the 2016 GMC Terrain

On or around August 15th I was in traffic and my 2016 GMC Terrain just shut off in the middle off traffic almost causing the car behind me to hit me is the rear. I got it started and then slowed down for a car that was turning in frount of me and it shut off again almost causing another car to rear end me. There where no warning light no warning at all just shut off I called a flat bed and it was taken to clintscales Chevrolet in belton SC. They have informed me that it is a problem with the timing chain causing me to need a new motor. I have done research and it shows gm has had problems with this problem in numerous engines in this year. This is so dangerous it puts life's in danger by shutting of in traffic with no warning at all.

I was leaving the area of hiram and my car started running different and you could hear a taping noise. I drove it to the GMC dealer down the street and they said it was the timing chain. I recently had an oil change and I was wondering if that could be the problem. The dealer gave me no recommendations or indications that I needed to change belts or components and my service engine light has never came on.

2016 GMC Terrain slt, service engine light came on, vehicle stalled many times, restarted but drove and misfired, stalled again, was able to get it to repair garage who I trust. He checked code and said I had to put a complete timing chain kit. Total cost came to $992. 36 and didn't have a vehicle for a week due to weekend and a holiday. The vehicle only had 30,763 miles on it at the time but was out of factory warrantee. Reading other customer complaints, this looks like an ongoing problem and I feel should warrant a recall. Additional info such as repair invoice is attached. Please reply when received and thank you for your time.

Less than 62,000 miles and the transmission has gone out. After searching to order the parts, I noticed several complaints come up across numerous websites where owners state that their vehicles transmission has died around 60,000 miles. This tells me GMC is at least aware of this issue and should enact a recall for this problem. The parts should be covered by GMC.

When driving the car will not respond correctly to the accelerator, delayed response. The car will also not shift correctly (as thought you are shifting manually). While driving the vehicle's gauges will jump up and down followed by the check engine lights coming on. Car will then go into reduced power mode. When pressing on the accelerator the engine will rev and then the car slams down into 2nd gear. The car has been in a GMC certified garage 7 times and out of service while in the garage 40 days and counting. Numerous attempts at repair have obviously been unsuccessful. Gm is refusing to by the car back because I bought it at premier Chevrolet GMC in morgantown, wv used with 27,768 miles on 2/5/17.
