VEHICLE ISSUE BULLETIN

For those who own or lease a 2019 GMC Terrain SUV, it’s important to know that several consumer complaints have been made regarding a number of engine and powertrain problems. Many of these complaints detail instances where the vehicle suddenly loses engine power while in motion, causing the vehicle to lose speed and threaten the safety of those inside the car and others sharing the road. While two recalls have been issued for this particular make and model, neither of them addresses engine or power train issues. As a result, many people are still waiting for clear and effective solutions for these persistent problems.

According to one driver, their 2019 GMC Terrain SUV experiences a loss of power whenever the vehicle is accelerating to merge or pass another vehicle on a highway. This causes a rapid deceleration and compels the driver to attempt to maneuver to the side of the road before an accident occurs. Another owner described a situation where their 2019 GMC Terrain SUV was traveling along a highway when the turbo body tube suddenly blew off, reducing the engine to half its power capacity. Even after the dealership attempted to repair the issue, the problem continued to occur. So far, no clear explanations have been provided by the manufacturer as to why these engine and powertrain problems are taking place.
