Transmission will not engage in any gear, has gone completely nonfunctional. I have researched the problem and notice that every complaint is the same regrading the transmission. Same mileage as others and this problem occurs, there needs to be a recall on this matter.

Just over 5200 miles started experiencing transmission slippage when stopping or starting. Around 5500 miles started hearing loud clicking roaring sound. Was returning home from vacation on a Saturday afternoon and knew all service areas of all gm dealerships would be closed but headed to a nearby Chevrolet dealership in bossier city, la to leave car to be looked at on Monday. Never made it. Car stalled and would not go into any gear. Had it towed to dealership. I left car and returned home to mckinney TX. Following Tuesday received text message from dealership that the planetary gear and some other parts went out. Parts on order but not available until following Friday. Searching internet found several reports of 2017, 2018, 2019 GMC Terrains having transmission issues. Seems gm has transmission issues with the Terrain transmission overheating, slipping, and failing.

The contact owns a 2019 GMC Terrain. The contact stated that the vehicle would not shift into gear from the parked position. The vehicle was towed to brickell Buick & GMC (665 sw 8th st, miami, FL 33130, 786-504-1353), but the failure could not be duplicated. The failure recurred again two weeks ago and the service transmission and transmission unable to shift indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The following day, the indicators illuminated again and the vehicle was taken to lehman Buick GMC (21200 NW 2nd Ave, miami, FL 33169, (305) 356-7579). The dealer contacted the manufacturer and was authorized to replace the transmission. When the dealer test drove the vehicle, the transmission indicator illuminated again. The dealer was currently diagnosing the vehicle. The failure mileage was 10,000.

2016 GMC Terrain will show the check engine, traction control and service stabilitrak lights after gauges jump up and down. Vehicle will then go into neutral and then suddenly slam into 2nd gear. This occurs at high rates of speed on the interstate, as well as, normal roads. The vehicle will then stay in 2nd gear and will not go into another gear when it is placed in manual either. Sometimes, after restarting several times, it will drive normally. Other times, it will not start once it is turned off. I have had it to the garage five times in the last month. The starter wire and starter relay have been replaced, loose ground wire tightened, and the ecm replaced yet the car continues to repeat the same cycle. Car currently has 53,300 miles on it.

The car did not change gears at the ?proper? time, and then when the brakes were applied or acceleration was ended the car would hard shift to the next gear. It is almost as if the gear was locked into place by the acceleration. Because of this shifting issue, it feels like the car is bucking, which can be a potential safety issue for myself and my family. Issue mainly occurs on slope like conditions in the 25 to 35 mile per hour range, our car is up to date on all recalls per dealer, they were unable to replicate the issue, but replaced the shift stick, this also prevents the car from shifting gears by accident I. E. Without the button pushed, this repair has corrected the manual shifting issue. The automatic shift issue still remainsthe car has less then 50k miles. The issue was 1st discovered in the mountains of PA on the 80 hwy the stickiness was between all gears but mostly 1st/2nd and 3nd/4nd since we are back in the city we can only deal with 1/2 gear on the hwy and this problem persists. When doing basic research on this issue I noticed that others experienced a similar problem in 2011 shortly after the cars release, but a flash to the emc "fixed" the problem. Our dealer says that all recalls and software are up to date. Last occurrence 7/26/16 we dont drive the car much since then.

Started car and shifted from park to reverse. Car did not change into gear. Car was in neutral. Shifted to drive and still no gear change. Shifted to manual drive mode and still did not shift. Turned car off and back on, then gear changes were made. Second time this occurred in about three months.
