I HAVE HAD MY 2013 GMC TERRAIN FOR 3 YEARS AND IT HAS PROBLEMS WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION, STARTING, TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON BY ITSELF AND TRUCK CUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THIS STARTED SEVERAL WEEKS AGO. OIL, IT CONSUMES LARGE AMOUNTS OF OIL BETWEEN THE OIL CHANGES. I CHECK THE DIGITAL OIL DISPLAYS, THAT SHOW HOW MUCH OIL REMAINS, AND IT CAN GO FROM 80% REMAINS TO 70% REMAINS IN A MATTER OF DAYS. ICUTTING OFF, THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES. WHEN I DRIVE, IT LOOSES POWER AND CUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. NO WARNING AT ALL. THIS IS VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. IT WILL LOOSE POWER AND NOT ACCELERATE AND I HAVE HAD DRIFT TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I AM SCARED IT WILL DO THIS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS. STARTING, MY SUV CAN START WITH NO PROBLEM AND I CAN DRIVE TO THE STORE 5 MINUTES AWAY AND IT WILL NOT START WHEN I RETURN. I TRY STARTING IT 5 TIMES AND IT WILL FINALLY START. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. IT WILL START IN THE MORNING WHEN I GO TO WORK OR TAKE KIDS TO SPORTS PRACTICE OR THEIR GAMES AND WHEN I LEAVE WORK WILL NOT START AFTER 8 HOURS. AFTER A 1-2 HOUR GAME, SAME THING OCCURS, IT WILL NOT START. I HAVE TAKEN IT FOR DIAGNOSIS, RECEIVED CODE AND HAD IT REPAIRED. AFTER A FEW DAYS, SAME THING HAPPENS. MY MECHANIC CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. MY TRACTION LIGHT HAS ALSO COME ON BY ITSELF, FOR NO REASON. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THESE PROBLEMS BUT IT SHOULD BE BEFORE INNOCENT PEOPLE, AND FAMILIES ARE INJURED OR KILLED.
