“On Aug 3rd 2023 I was driving east on a Michigan Highway when the service transmission warning came across the dash then the car shut off while driving 60mph. When trying to steer the car to the side of the road I noticed the car was in park(this car is equipped with push button shift). The car shutting off made it very hard to steer. If the traffic was heavy this could have caused an accident. I do have a video of this happening”
NHTSA complaint #11536370, filed 2023-08“While driving my 2022 1.5L Turbo GMC Terrain at 65 mph with the air temperature at -2 degrees below zero Fahrenheit the check engine light came on with the error message Engine Power is reduced.

I was 200 miles from home and after working with my insurance roadside assistance, I wasn't able to get a tow truck after 3 hours of waiting in sub zero temperatures. I called the local GM dealership in my home town to ask if I could drive the SUV and they said I could at less than 35mph. …”
NHTSA complaint #11566063, filed 2024-01“Leased a 2002 GMC Terrain/Denali on 12/30/2022. 34 miles on car. Loved driving it. I have put on additional 210 miles. On 01/20/2023 after dropping a 'CT' disc at my Oncologist I got back in car and was driving home. Still love my car. In doctor's parking lot the 'Parking' light would not go out when put in reverse. Same issue two times until I went into drive and car moved a bit. Then reverse, all ok. At stop light just beyond MD office I turned left. Initially I crossed intersection (yellow engine light went on) and gave gas pedal a push to go 45 MPH (legal speed on a 2 lane West bound). …”
