2022 GMC TERRAIN — Complaint #2070449
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECU/ECM) filed March 3, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2070449 (ODI reference 11645920) concerns a 2022 GMC TERRAIN and was filed on March 3, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on February 28, 2025. The vehicle had 76,670 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Missouri based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as engine and engine cooling:engine:engine control module (ecu/ecm), one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same GMC TERRAIN cohort independently describe similar engine and engine cooling:engine:engine control module (ecu/ecm) failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2022 GMC TERRAIN shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
