What owners wrote
I had my 2017 GMC terrain denali for two years and have already experienced two serious issues. Issue #1-I noticed a burning smell, grinding noise, and hesitation when driving. I brought it to the dealership where I bought it and was told that there was a factory defect which caused something inside my transfer to bore a hole through it. Dealer could not get the part for 2 weeks. It was covered under my warranty.
My check engine light came on along with a a message that states 'reduced engine power' and a message reading 'service stabilitrek when I was driving on the highway at 70 MPH. This created suddenly jerking and slow acceleration so that I had to pull off the road. I found a forum at [xxx] that reveals that this has been an issue with GMC modes at least as long as 2011.
