What owners wrote

“Tensioner issues keeps breaking the timing chain. . Replaced twice at own cost. Fuel pump/ loss of power while driving. Back up camera doesn't work sometimes. Screen goes black. If key is left in the ignition it starts itself. If you try to use a car charger for a phone the AC shuts off and a "systems error" message pops up. This happens alot. It's an ongoing issue since I bought the car in Feburary this year.”

“Moved car to shovel drive way. Went to move it back and my car wouldn’t start. Garage says it is the ECM Garage says GM has a hold on the sale/install on f this part as there is a known issue involving all unit including my vehicle and newer. The only recall currently is for exams for 2018 GMC Terrain ECM. My car will sit at the garage indefinitely.”

“I have had the same oil consumption and car stalling problems as everyone else. When the oil gets low after a few hundred miles, it stalls out when starting from a stopped position. It goes through a quart of oil at less than 1,000 miles. Add me to the list that says they need to recall the 2014 Terrains since they have the same problem as the 2011 to 2013 Terrains that were recalled.”
