What owners wrote

I have a 2019 GMC terrian with 2500 miles. I was driving it and the car flashed low fuel, check transmission and check engine warning and shut down while I was as a highway speed. I was fortunately ok, however it stranded me at a spot with merging traffic, no shoulder and no power to get the vehicle out of there. The vehicle was able to start up shortly, then I had to deal with getting going again in this precarious spot.

Reported at 2,500 miles, April 2019

When I shift it from reverse to drive on a very slight incline, the engine will rev and not accelerate after I initially start moving forward. It actually almost comes to a stop before finally accelerating. It has now started doing it while driving and stalled in the highway on 2/13. I carried it last year for the same issue, but they told me they couldn't duplicate it. Today, they told me the same thing. They can't explain why it stalled in the middle of the road.
