Almost a month after my oil change my engine started making noise and cutting off. When I took it to get checked, they said that my oil was gone and my engine is failing. Now my car is just sitting at the dealership, because the price is gonna be to high. Is their a recall for my 2011 g.m.c terrain

I have been having an issue with the stability track/reduced engine power coming on. I will be driving and then the reduced engine power with an exclamation mark pops up, my car speed drops and then the car cuts off. The car would crank back up after sitting for a while. After researching this, I found that several other gmc, chevy and cadillacs had this same issue and were given the run around by gmc when trying to have it fixed. There was a recall for those vehicles but not the terrain. I have had the throttle body cleaned like suggested and that did not solve the problem. The problem occurs no matter if I am on the highway or regular streets. Being a single parent of 3 and legal guardian of 1 grandchild, I don't have money to keep trying to repair this issue. I had my transmission looked at and that was not the issue. How can I get them to correct the stability track/reduced engine power issue? I have been without my car for a week now. This is making it hard to get back and forth to work. I am actually calling the gmc headquarters to report this issue and then the better business bureau.

Abs light is on even after fixing the supposed problem. System stabilitrak constantly on. Excessive use of oil. 2 to 3 quartz every 2 weeks. Reduced engine power comes up on dash and no matter how fast I am going (15 MPH or 80 MPH on a highway) it doesnt matter my car will slow down or just shut off. Also happens when I have to hit braked hard, slow down or accelerate from a stopped position. I am also using a lot of gas.

Car has been a nightmare since we purchased it. Constantly breaking down and having to result in expensive repairs. 3 catalytic converters, engine used to shut off due to overheating. Engine reduce sign, stabilitrak problems. This has been the worst car to ever be created in the history of vehicles.

I purchased my car used in september two weeks later I started experiencing stalling and erratic jerking while driving. I took the car to the dealer where I purchased the car (while it was under warranty) and was told not to worry it's just the o2 sensors. The car was loosing oil like crazy. December the car became worse and stalled and would not start. The dealership informed me I need a new engine, I am no longer covered under warranty and still paying for this car. No one will help me so now I'm stuck with a payment and an inoperable car.. Oh did I mention I got a car fax once the car broke down to see the vehicle history the title is branded manufactor buy back/lemon.. I have seen on several forums and google that many people have complained and gm will not do a recall this issue is totally unsafe and can cause serious injury.

While drive down the interstate my car said service stability track then said engine power reduced, speed dropped dramatically then shut off completely. Engine would not turn back over. Had it towed to the shop only to find out the engine locked up due to no oil. Dealer said it was due to a very common problem with gm with excessive oil consumption! I had my oil changed and a full tune up 2 weeks ago! Called to check recalls only to find out that in fact there was an recall for excessive oil consumption but my VIN wasn't involved. Dealer says in fact it should be! This could have caused a accident and caused my children and I to be seriously injured!

I was driving on the highway and the car cut off as soon as I slowed down getting off the exit. I started the car back up and it said that the stabilitrack was off and that I was losing engine power. I got to safety, checked my fluids and I had no oil in the car. But I changed the oil recently and had 3,000 more miles till my next oil change. I towed the car to my mechanic and described what happened. He told me that their was an internal engine failure that caused the timing belt to break. I called my insurance and they had a field adjuster look at the vehicle and he nor the mechanic could figure out why or how this happened on such a well maintained vehicle. They both stated that there is no way that I should have had 2 major system failures (I just replaced the transmission) with the current vehicle mileage. I called gmc and they will not so anything to help me. Their only solution is for me to tow it to a gmc dealership and they will look at it. I could've died in this car, I still owe on this car and they won't help me.

I have a 2011 gmc terrain about 62390 miles. When I am accelerating the car jerks. I took it to the dealer they state they could not find nothing wrong. I just got the fuel pump replaced due to a recall. And now a light came on that read AC off due to high engine temp but the temperature gauge showed cold and it never went to normal after being on for 20 mins and to this day is goes to the notch right before normal. Also when the fuel is low the light does not come on. I called the dealership and they stated they have to duplicate the problem to fix it but I cant bring it in until 12/16/2016 because they are booked

My terrain shut off the first time days after oil change while parked in a parking lot and running for 5 minutes. Days later while turning left at busy intersection to enter expressway it stalled and I barely rolled to side of road and was almost rear ended. Then a few days later while at a bus stop and ready to accelerate it stalled again. I had to restart. Dealership would not take any responsibility. Had to get over $3000 in work on engine.
