I was out of town and had gone to the store and when I got back in my vehicle and it would not start. After, letting it sit for 4 hours it finally cranked up. The battery and fuses were fine. No lights came in on my dash as a warning that something was wrong. This has happened to me before. A diagnostic was run and it throwed out no codes.

When trying to start vehicle with push button ignition and brake pedal depressed, the vehicle failed to start. The dash lights would come on and error messages such as low battery came up on dash display. Vehicle was purchased on 11/17/18. Two separate occasions occurred where the car had to be jumped. One on 11/21/18 and 11/22/18. Unsure if an electrical wiring issue or battery issue?.

Took my 2012 Terrain in for the excessive oil burn in may 2017. Several times before the car would not start. I was told by dealer it was due to the oil being low due to burn within 1000 miles of change. About a month after getting it back it started randomly not starting. I first thought it was that I left the dome lights on. Then it would happen when I used my back gate, then randomly after opening any door but the drivers when the car was not on. Everything was working but the car wouldn't start. It was all random. Check engine light came on and it read gas cap, so I changed that as I was told that could cause the car not to start. It didn't help and it resumed not starting within days. So I have been starting car to open any other doors and reduced to no dome lights at night. Last night, it wouldn't' start after simply backing my car into a different spot in my driveway. I had it jumped and then the cent console was completely blacked out. I could change the stations and change the heat but no lights. Got back home after driving it to charge battery and the radio wouldn't shut off even after removing key and locking. I tried both fobs, and it wouldn't shut down. I shut the radio off, and then it seemed to have worked because the security light came on and I didn't see any lights inside. This morning the car was dead. More than usual, I couldn't even unlock it except with key. I tried to start, no click and then it locked my keys into the ignition. We jumped it and I drove it straight to the dealer. I have to drive for my job and right now I am scared something it going to stop working like the lights or engine and I will be hurt or killed or hurt someone else. Very scary.

Tl- the contact owns a 2012 GMC Terrain. The contact stated that after inserting the key into the ignition switch the switch would not turn and the vehicle could not be started. The contact also indicated that the key became stuck in the ignition switch. After removing the key from the ignition switch the vehicle was towed to the dealer who replaced the ignition key but within days of retrieving the vehicle the failure had reoccurred. No further information was available. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 41,000. Jft.
When parking after driving , the key will not be released . You may have to turn the key on and off several times until it releases. There is also a problem with starting the car where you turn the key and the car will not start. On occasion (not every time) you need to turn the key on and off several times until it starts. This is an ongoing problem- still happening. Two different dealers have not been able to duplicate even though it happens multiple times daily.

Multiple problems: 1) front right tire well hole/leak found while investigating a complaint of mold odor inside car. 2) initially, the usb and a/c were malfunctioning. Then the car radio stopped working; and now the car will not start (possible electrical shortage related to the above leak?) I tried to charge the battery; however, I believe something may be draining the battery as it keeps dying.
The contact owns a 2010 GMC Terrain. The contact stated that the key fob failed to unlock the doors. As a result, the doors had to be manually unlocked. Also, the instrument panel indicators illuminated and the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who was unable to diagnose the cause of the failures. The failures occurred twice. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
