ABS Brake problem and have tried to get it repaired for over 3 months and cannot seem to be able to get the part and call GM with no help. Can not tell me when or where to buy the part. Nobody seems to be able to get a new part and no help from GM. If there is this many problems that there is no part left available it should be a national recall.
All wheel light say it’s disabled
Brakes fade away after applying them. TPMS sensors are reading low tire pressure and are not accurate.
DRIVING BETWEEN 40-45MGH AND STABILITRAK FAILURE SERVICE AND ABS FAILURE LIGHT COMES ON. AT EVERY BUMP THE SERVICE LIGHTS GOES ON AND OFF. THEN ON A SMOOTH SERVICE THE STABILITRAK LIGHTS COMES ON UNTIL I GET HOME. WITH THE COLLISION WARNING TURNED ON THE CAR ALSO AND ALMOST FREQUENTLY TENDS TO BRAKE ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING. BUT HERE'S THE REAL PROBLEM THIS 2014 GMC TERRAIN DENALI CAR IS NOT ON THE 'RECALL' LIST - WHY? SEEMS IT'S FROM THE SAME CAR MANUFACTURER WITH SAME ISSUES, SHOULDN'T IT BE ON THE SAME RECALL LIST.
1) BRAKES HAVE ALWAYS RUBBED & GRABBED REALLY HARD WHEN APPLIED. ALMOST LIKE THEY ARE DEFECTIVE ROTORS. HARD TO STOP FAST. I NOTICE THEY RECALLED A LOT OF THEIR BRAKES, BUT NOT MINE. 2). TRANSMISSION JERKS & SHIFTS VERY VIOLENTLY @ 16 & 17 MILES PER HOUR. SEEMS TO SLIP & NOT SHIFT @ THAT SPEED REALLY ROUGH. HAS ALWAYS DONE THIS. 3) SOMETIMES THE COLLISION ALERT GOES OFF & THERE IS NOTHING AROUND I LIVE IN THE COUNTRY & HAVE NO TRAFFIC IT WILL JUST GO OFF SCARES THE CRAP OUT OF YOU & STARTLES ME. I SAW ANOTHER PERSON HAD THIS HAPPEN ALSO ALL SITUATIONS ARE IN MOTION WHILE DRIVING. BIGGEST CONCERNS ARE THE TRANSMISSION & BRAKES. 4) OKAY SEATS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE LEATHER HOWEVER, THEY WENT CHEAPY ON THE SIDES. IT CRACKED & CONTINUES TO CRACK & TEAR BECAUSE THE SIDES ARE VINYL. THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN @ APPROXIMATELY 3,000 MILES. I ONLY HAVE 32,000 MILES ON IT. I DON'T DRIVE MUCH.
HAVE NOT DRIVEN VEHICLE FOR A MONTH OR MORE BECAUSE OF PRESSURE WHEN BRAKING. REQUIRED MORE PRESSURE WHEN HOLDING BRAKE AT RED LIGHT OR IN TRAFFIC. FELT AS IF MY FOOT WOULD SLIP OFF BRAKE.
MY CAR MAKES A RUBBING NOISE WHEN AND ONLY WHEN YOU STOP. ALSO MY FORWARD COLLISION ALERT COMES ON WHEN NOTHING IS IN FRONT OF ME. SOMETIMES IT WON'T EVEN COME ON WHEN A CAR IS IN FRONT OF ME.
I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 GMC TERRAIN WITH APPROXIMATELY 85,000 MILES WHEN I NORMALLY PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE ANTILOCK BRAKES ACTIVATED UNEXPECTEDLY. MY DASHBOARD TOLD ME THE STABILITY TRACK NEEDED SERVICE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO GET REPAIRED AND THEY FOUND A SPEED SENSOR AND IT'S CONTACT ON THE HUB WERE BAD. COST TO REPLACE HUB APPROX $350
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE ABS INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. LANCE BUICK GMC IN MANSFIELD, MASSACHUSETTS WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND SCHEDULED A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,900.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
