What owners wrote

“Oil consumption issue caused timing chain to go causing catastrophic damage to the engine resulting in over 3000$ in repairs the oil light does not come on nor does it have a low oil pressure warning”

Filed Oct 24, 2024

“Car engine light coming on because of codes P0010, constant oil changes, acceleration slows. Turns off a low idle. No low oil warning lights at all.”

Filed May 4, 2023

“My car had been needing at least 2quarts of oil in between oil changes which I have done every 3000 miles. The timing chain is bad which is caused by excessive oil consumption. The service power steering and stability track light comes on it its messing with the transmission until I disconnect the battery and reset it, and it also leaked inside my glove an f the passenger floorboards”

“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.”

Should you keep driving it?

This page can't tell you that. 0 of 39 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.

File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation.
