"The display screen freezes at random and not under any particular driving conditions. While this has been occurring for a number of years, after the service department has run diagnostics, they were generally unable to determine the exact cause(s). A software update was provided once or twice."
Anonymous, NJ (2013 GMC Terrain SLE 3.6-L V6)"The display screen for backup camera and radio sometimes will not come on. We went to the dealership and like always the issue did not fail and they said they cant fix what they dont see. It happens every once in a while. Turning off/on the vehicle will usually correct it."

"Its hit and miss with the temperature. Most times it will warm the vehicle, and not turn off. But if you adjust the temp/fan, it will turn the heat off completely, which will turn the vehicle cold. So either blasting hot or cold, no warm. Also when the fan is complete shut off, the belt or whatever on the inside, is whipping around, causing a loud clicking sound, even when the car is shut off. We arent sure what is causing the noise. A/C seems to work fine, just not the heat."
