Potential Consequences:

I was exiting off the interstate and all of a sudden my brakes got hard and wouldn’t let me stop. I tanned thru a red light barley missing another vehicle.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

Potential Consequences:

When I place the vehicle in reverse, my backup camera is not working, resulting in a blue screen with a message to have the camera serviced. Per the GMC dealership, this is a common problem with many of the newer GM vehicles and is a safety item due to not having a clear view of what is behind me. I purchased this safety feature and it not working.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

We were in the driveway thru lane at a fast food restaurant and all of a sudden the car shut off and the brakes got hard to push in. The car was able to be started at this time but the engine wasn’t working well. We were able to make it home, slowly and carefully. We had the vehicle towed to a Mechanic and this is what was told to us: Possible increased brake pedal effort due to mechanical engine vacuum pump failure. We had it sent to David's Auto Service 219-861-0666. This could’ve been a very dangerous accident if we were driving on the expressway or on a regular street going the normal speed limit. Thankfully we were in a drive thru lane.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

After driving down around 40 miles, the brakes failed when pulling into a parking spot. There was no indication that the brakes were having issues. No sounds or vibrations were felt. I stopped at a stoplight before turning into the parking lot. Then when attempting to spot in a parking spot, the brakes were very difficult to press. Luckily there was not a vehicle or person in front of me. Had the vehicle taken to a dealer and was told it was the vacuum booster that failed. Upon researching, this has been an issue in past GMC models, but I was told there was no current recall for the vehicle. The vacuum booster was replaced for $540 and I drove the vehicle home. The vehicle showed no issues for the first day. On the second day, I went to pull into a parking spot at a park and the same issue with the brakes occurred. I nearly struck a child that was walking in front of the parking spot. Luckily I was able to slam the pedal to the floor and come to a stop. Took the vehicle to the mechanic and was told the same part had broke. That part has been fixed again and has been fine for 2 days so far. I'm scared that it will happen again and I will not be able to stop in time before I hurt someone else or my family. This needs to be addressed. And I believe I am owed compensation from the manufacturer.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

Our son and two daughters were driving on the highway at approximately 70mph when a message came up to say the engine was in "Reduced Engine Power". Although nothing seemed to change. The instruction for such and error message is to "get vehicle to a dealership within the next day." So they slowed to 60mph and continued on their way. About 8-10 minutes later another message popped up that said "Service Brake Assist", at which point they immediately tested the brakes and they worked. But 2-5 minutes later they tested the brakes again and the brakes had completely failed! Zero brakes on the highway! No matter how hard the driver pushed the brake pedal there was 0.0% response. So luckily they were able to coast down to about 10 mph with hazard lights on. But at that point they lost everything. No power steering, no engine, and zero brakes. Thank the lord that they were able to have enough room to slow down and get over to a shoulder prior to the loss of power steering and that they had enough room to coast to a stop. Please help, as we were extraordinarily lucky that day that 3 of our children were able to walk away from such a catastrophic vehicle failure. I just do not want that to happen to anyone else.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

A COUPLE WEEKS AGO I GOT IN MY 2019 GMC TERRAIN AND SHIFTED INTO REVERSE AND MY BACK-UP CAMERA WAS NOT WORKING. IT WAS A BLUE SCREEN THAT SAID "SERVICE REAR VISION SYSTEM". A COUPLE DAYS LATER IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. MY CAR SAT FOR A WK AND I GOT IN IT ON MAY 28 TO HELP MY DAUGHTER MOVE AND IT WASN'T WORKING AGAIN. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE NOT ONLY TO ME, BUT TO ANYONE (LIKE MY GRANDKIDS) OR ANYTHING BEHIND MY CAR AS I'M BACKING UP, ESPECIALLY IF I CANNOT SEE THEM.

SERVICE BRAKES

Potential Consequences:

I have been notified that my brake vacuum pump EXPLODED in to my engine, leaving me with limited braking ability. I was driving through a school zone when the brakes went out, I noticed as I was not able to stop at an intersection. This could have led to multiple injuries, including children being in harms way. I had no warning this was coming and now look towards a hefty repair bill. GMC has recalled vacuum pumps in other models but for some reason the terrain is not included. I wonder if there just haven't been enough deaths caused by faulty brake systems for them to cover this model too.
