2012 GMC Terrain: key fob or push-button start problems

Filed Sep 20, 2018 · Engine · 62,000 miles · GA

I parked, turned the vehicle off and exited the vehicle. The vehicle was parked for approximately an hour and a half before I re-entered the vehicle to retrieve some items from the passenger side. As I closed the door and used the key fob to lock the vehicle, it restarted itself. This has happened multiple times and the dealership tells me that it is not their issue and that it is a manufacturing issue. Please add this particular vehicle to the recall call list for this issue prior to personal injury or damages occurring.

I parked my vehicle in the driveway. Upon exiting the vehicle I used the key fob to lock the vehicle, it beeped and began to walk away. As I was about 10 steps from the vehicle, it beeped again as if I hit the fob and restarted itself. It literally restarted itself. They keys were not in the ignition, they were in my hand. I was unable to unlock the vehicle using the key fob and had to manually open the door using the actual key in the door lock. I was unable to turn the vehicle off by reinserting the key in the ignition. I wiggled the shifter and the car turned off. This is the fourth the car has been running while the keys were not in the ignition and it is the second time the vehicle restarted itself without the key being in the ignition. This is clearly a manufacturing issue. What are you waiting for to add this vehicle to the recall list? Property damage and personal injury will eventually occur and then I will sue gmc for damages. I am officially putting gmc on notice. Please recall this vehicle and fix this issue.

09/08/18 I put the vehicle in park, turned the ignition off, removed the key from the ignition and exited the vehicle. I got some items from my trunk and went about my business. About 45 minutes later, I returned to my vehicle only to notice the lights were on and it was running. I was unable to unlock the vehicle using the key fob and had to manually unlock the door. I put the key in the ignition to turn the vehicle off again and it would not turn off. I wiggled the gear shift and it finally turned off. This is the second time this has happened. Please add my vehicle to the recall list as this is the exact issue that the other gmc terrain 2012 are having.

I turned off the ignition to my 2012 gmc terrain, removed the key and opened the trunk/hatch to retrieve some items. As I attempted to lock the vehicle I realized it was still running. I was unable to use the key fob to unlock the doors and had to open them manually. It took two attempts at inserting the key in to the ignition and turning it "off" before the vehicle actually turned off. This is an issue with this vehicle yet according to the dealership "not with my specific vehicle" and they won't even look at it with. Please include my specific vehicle in this recall that was made on 07/05/2016 stating "general motors llc (gm) is recalling certain model year...as the electronic park lock lever may allow the ignition key to be removed without the transmission being in park. Also, certain...2011-2013 gmc terrain vehicles may have been serviced with similar defective replacement electronic park lock levers. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 114 "theft protection and rollaway prevention." please amend this recall to include my vehicle.
