What owners wrote
While on highway service brake system warning light came on,brake became hard to apply almost causing an accident. Vehicle had to be towed to a repair shop(dealer).after paying over $1600 the problem was not resolved and found there are numerous complaints about issues with the terrain and no recall issued.are they waiting til someone dies before a recall?
When reversing out of a parking spot, brakes failed causing accident. Multiple attempts to depress brake pedal with no braking. Hit a parked car. After shutting car off and attempting to move vehicle brakes did engage and respond correctly. Rear damage to terrain occurred requiring towing.
