The emergency flasher button sticks down it sticks being pushed in along with the eco button and I feel the drive shaft should be more durable than 155,000 mi or 11 years

Service stabilitrak light comes on and the engine power is reduced. Happens while driving at any speed or stopped as well as on clear dry roads. Have to shut off and restart car multiple times to get full engine power.

While driving the stability track service lift comes on, the ABS, brakes, service all wheel drive, as well as the service power steering at which time I lose power steering. It also feels like it is accelerating sluggishly when drive sometimes. This happens and goes off sometimes with out me turning the car off or stopping but other times I have to pull over and wait a few minutes after turning the car off. It happens various times. At one moment it is driving fine and then these lights come on. When taken to dealership the lights have gone off and they get no codes.

While driving my car the stabili-track service light comes on. Then the check engine, brake, ABS, awd, as well as the power steering lights come on. Then I lose power steering and my speed is throttled down a lot. Its happened on the expressway and city streets. When on the expressway I have to immediately get to the shoulder without getting into an accident. I've had my car towed to the mechanics shop multiple times and they've told me that there are no codes when hooking up the computer. They kept it a few times in the last 3 years and have told me there were misfires after letting the car sit and testing it out (test driving) and work was needed (throttle body replacement, spark plug replacement, cam shaft swap out and a full tune-up). $1000 and less than a year later it happens again and then again. This is the 3rd year (2016, 2017, 2018) it has happened to me in a row and all the mechanic can say is that it may be something gm should investigate. I've called gm with no luck. This is extremely unsafe and I am thankful that my kids were not in the car when it happens. Trying to navigate traffic on the expressway when your car throttles down to 25-35 MPH is insane.

At one moment it is driving fine and then these lights come on. When taken to dealership the lights have gone off and they get no codes. I was told the that it says a miscommunication and no code is recorded. The service light issues happen on city streets. The sluggish acceleration happens on both city and highway. I have been to the gmc dealer several times over the last 2-3 weeks.

I was getting gas, fiiled up, when I got back into car, didn't want to start, really had to hit gas pedal, very scary, that happened 3 times after getting gas, another time I was at stop light, and it just stalled, engine completely stopped, hard start up again, so I decided for safety reasons taking it to dealership, it's still there as of 11/20/2017, but wanted to get this out there, I think maybe this is ongoing issue with certain models of gmc, and feel maybe it will be a recall issue if enough people report issues as such as these. I thank god I wasn't driving and this happened, def a safety concern gmc needs to address.

I own a 2010 gmc terrain that only has 51,000 miles. I was excellerating to get onto the highway when my check engine light came on and my vehicle all the sudden had lack of engine power. I was able to pull to the shoulder of the road, thankfully without getting hit. My vehicle was towed to my mechanic's shop. A test was done and the code p2135 throttle/petal sensor switch was revealed. The car was turned off and then back on and the engine light was not on. Now, two weeks later, this happened again on a city street. This time another warning came on along with the engine light. The warning says engine stability trak. This is a huge concern as bot times, I narrowly escaped an accident. My vehicle only has 51,000 miles and it is well taken care of. My concern is this is a manufacturer defect.

The drakes lock up and will not release until the car sits for sometime about 2-8 hours.the service stabilitrack light comes on and you lose engine power almost instantly. I have had four different shop fix what they suspected was the problem and the last shop was a dealership and it happened to me a week later while out of town for a wedding.

Getting gas in oil runs when you shut it off ruff idle

Filed May 14, 2016 · Driver assistance, Electrical · 110,616 miles · TX

I purchased this vehicle last may 2015 with no warning indicators working my vehicle loss excessive oil and now needing a new engine, how does a vehicle lose 4.5 quarts between a oil changes. Now I'm stuck with the cost of repairs for installing a new engine and the extended warranty and gm motors refused to help me with repairs. I have six children at home I provide for and now will be eating a new engine at the dinner table for the next four years! Thanks a lot gm for not living up to your name im going to toyota next vehicle. The good thing I was parked at a store when the vehicle gave out with no warning!!!!!!!
