We received a notice in the mail regarding our vehicle with our VIN #. And it mentioned our particular size engine had a recall for potential emissions part condition of degraded catalytic converter and/or oxygen sensors caused by excessive engine oil consumption affecting some vehicle from our year, make, and model. We were surprised to receive this notice because we always park in reverse and we had noticed how it was turning the curb side black coming from the tail pipe. We did receive one other notice before and took it to the dealership to have it maintenance but my honest opinion I do believe they did anything to our vehicle because it was running the same and also took it to Midas after taking it to the dealership because it ran the same. Anyhow I hope upon receiving this other notice we can actually maybe get reimbursed and actually get it fixed finally.

I am having trouble with these things now. The powertrain especially I have not had accident yet but it keeps going dead on me in the middle of driving down road. Causing me to have to put in neutral and restart. At this time the steering goes out. This needs to be repaired before an accident does happen. The drivers seat does not move forward or backwards. The tire pressure warning does not warn until it is at 20 psi.

2012 GMC Terrain makes a clicking noise when pressing acceleration pedal. I habe changed oil, plugs and belts but still can't find source of tapping. Also my tires are new, less then a year and constantly show low pressure. I have checked for nails but none found.

I was driving up a slushy hill and had to stop midway up the hill. Once I proceeded up the hill my car just spun tire, so I put the car in reverse and backed back down the hill. I then drove to work and parked my car. When I started my car to leave work the service AWD alert came on. This is the second time since Dec. 2013 that the AWD has gone out in my vehicle. I live in an area where snow is prevalent and purposely bought an AWD vehicle for peace of mind and now for the second time it is out!
