Reduce spreed unknown if related to fuel pressure regulator since repaired twice told could be to service bulletin. Warning lights keeps appearing while driving at a speed of 40 to 50 mph.

Twice had to have wiring repaired because animals ate the wiring. Both were caused by GM using soy based insulation on wiring that made it a delicacy to the animals and caused them to eat through two wiring harnesses, one of which GM no longer makes. The other complaint is the timing belt has stretched and is now in need of replacement at a cost of $4500 to $5000.

Burning oil and bad engine timing chain

My 2010 Terrain had been been intermittent dash warnings for “Service StabiliTrac” and “Engine Power Reduced” which would force the engine to reduce the speed itself down to about 30 MPH. After turning off car and restarting, warnings would go away. Yesterday, while driving on a secondary road, with no check engine light on, the engine stalled while traveling at approx 35 MPH. I was able to drop the vehicle into neutral and coast onto a side street, while also attempting to restart the engine. I was able to pull over without causing an accident. After letting the car sit for a few minutes I attempted to restart the engine, but only got a strange noise from the area of the upper cylinders. At his point the check engine light was now on. While waiting for a tow truck, and independent mechanic pulled up to ask if I needed help. After listening to the noice from the upper engine he asked if he could get tools and look in the engine. I said yes. He quickly pulled parts off the upper engine and opened and removed the upper cylinder cover. This revealed that the timing chain had no tension, as well as shards of shattered plastic all over the place, in and around the upper cylinders. After pointing this out he put everything back together and suggested I contact the dealership I got the vehicle from, which I have done already. He then stated that it appears that the engine would need to be replaced or rebuilt, due to catastrophic engine failure. He said my quick thinking of putting the vehicle into neutral probably avoided causing an accident and allowed me to get myself to a safe spot before stopping the vehicle. He also stated that this particular GM motor is known for catastrophic failure, which GM has failed or refused to acknowledge

MY TERRAIN RECENTLY GOT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON THE MECHANIC IS TELLING ME THAT IT IS THE TIMING CHAIN THAT ALL OF THIS VEHICLES HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND I GOT LUCKY IT ONLY JUMPED ONE TOOTH TO REPAIR WILL COST ME AROUND $ 1500 WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IF THIS IS BEEN GOING ON FOR LONG TIME HOW IS IT THAT THIS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A RECALL

I bought my 2010 GMC Terrain SLE at 160,000. It had a rough start up but the dealer said it was because it was an older car and been sitting for a while. The rough start up never stopped even after replacing the catalytic converter because of code P0420. The mechanic informed of this specific vehicle oil composition so I was consistently checking the oil. A month after the NEW catalytic converter was installed. I stalled out on the interstate with traffic going 65 mph minimum, the wheel locked and I was almost rear ended. I take the vehicle to an automotive shop and I need a new timing chain with numerous new codes. P0325 P0326 P0327 P0016 P0017 P0014.

The contact owns a 2010 GMC Terrain. The contact stated the vehicle would not exceed 15 MPH and was consuming a significant amount of engine oil. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the rings needed to be replaced. The contact stated the vehicle was not repaired; however, the engine oil was refilled. The contact stated that the failure persisted, and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer who replaced the rings, the catalytic converter, and the actuator under an unknown recall. The contact stated after the recall repair, the vehicle would inadvertently make abnormal sounds and shudder while driving. The check engine warning light and several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the piston was rubbing against the motor and the engine needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 98,000.

I ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR JUST ABOUT ONE YEAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ENDED UP COMING ON AND I FOUND THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS THE CULPRIT. NO MATTER WHAT I DO THIS SENSOR COMES ON. NOW HERE RECENTLY, THE LIGHT TO CHECK THE AIRBAG SYSTEM HAS COME ON. I HAVE ONCE BEFORE CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE, BUT THERE SUPPOSEDLY WERE NONE, YET I SEE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES THAT I AM HAVING ON TOP OF THE DEFROST SYSTEM BEING NO GOOD. THIS CAR HAS COST ME MORE THAN IT IS WORTH AND SELLING IT WOULD JUST LEAVE ME WITH NOTHING BECAUSE I STILL OWE ON IT. I NEED FIXES AND ANSWERS BEFORE THIS THING ENDS UP IN FLAMES WHICH IS WHAT I FEAR EACH DAY I DRIVE IT. THIS BEGAN IN AUGUST OF LAST YEAR AND NOW I AM GETTING SCARED FOR MY LIFE.

2010 GMC TERRAIN WITH V6 LOSS OF POWER, ENGINE CODES TIMING ISSUE, CAMSHAFT SENSOR FAULT, CRANKSHAFT SENSOR FAULT. STABIL-TRACK FAULT. ROUGH IDLE, OIL CONSUMPTION. THE LIST GOES ON. THIS IS A COMMON THING WITH THESE ENGINES AND GM HAS DONE NOTHING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH THIS VEHICLE FOR AWHILE. STAY AWAY FROM GM VEHICLES THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCTS, I WILL BE BUYING A FORD AND I WILL TELL EVERYONE I KNOW!

IN SEPT. 2017, THE DEALER FIXED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER B/C IT WAS UNDER A "SPECIAL WARRANTY" FOR FREE HOWEVER I HAD TO PAY $582 TO REPLACE THE CRACKED MANIFOLD WHICH CAUSED THE CONVERTER ISSUE. I RECENTLY WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP B/C THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY HAVE TO FIX THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM THE IS UNDER A "SPECIAL COVERAGE" AND AGAIN I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR ANOTHER CRACKED MANIFOLD. I ASKED WHAT CAUSES IT AND WHY AND WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT KNOW BUT I BELIEVE IT MUST HAVE TO DO WITH THE ORIGINAL CATALYTIC CONVERTER ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A SPECIAL COVERAGE TO FIX THE CC HOWEVER SOMETHING MUST BE CAUSING IT TO FAIL AND GM IS AWARE OF IT.

AT STOP LIGHT CAR KEPT TURNING OFF. FIRST START START SHAKING THEN TURN OFF. SEVERAL TIMES. ALMOST GOT HIT IN REAR OF CAR SEVERAL TIMES. ABOUT 3 WEEKS. TOOK TO SHOP C & M. IN NY. HAD TO STAY IN NY 2 WEEKS. TIMING CHAIN. BROKEN. AND ENGINE LIGHT. PAID $1500.00, HAD 3 OIL CHANGES. HAVE TO KEEP ADDING MOTOR OIL.

I OWN A 2010 GMC TERRAIN, I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIMING BELT MID 2016 WHICH COST AROUND $2000 , NOW LESS THAN 3 YEARS LATER I'M TOLD IT NEEDS REPLACED AGAIN, ANOTHER $2400 THIS TIME. MY VEHICLE IS BARLEY OVER 100,000 MILES. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. OF COURSE THE FIRST TIME MY WARRANTY HAD JUST EXPIRED AND THE REPLACEMENTS WARRANTY IS 12 MONTHS/12,000 MILES. SO OF COURSE NOT COVERED AGAIN. I WOULD THINK THAT GMC WOULD WANT TO ADDRESS THIS AS AN ISSUE. ALMOST 4000 IN REPAIRS AND VEHICLE LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD AND APPARENTLY 108,000 MILES. I'VE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND FEEL GMC SHOULD HELP COVER THE REPAIRS OR DO A RECALL AND COVER IT. I WON'T BY ANOTHER GMC.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR THE STABILI-TRACK SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE, BRAKE, ABS, AWD, AS WELL AS THE POWER STEERING LIGHTS COME ON. THEN I LOSE POWER STEERING AND MY SPEED IS THROTTLED DOWN A LOT. ITS HAPPENED ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND CITY STREETS. WHEN ON THE EXPRESSWAY I HAVE TO IMMEDIATELY GET TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT. I'VE HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE MECHANICS SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY'VE TOLD ME THAT THERE ARE NO CODES WHEN HOOKING UP THE COMPUTER. THEY KEPT IT A FEW TIMES IN THE LAST 3 YEARS AND HAVE TOLD ME THERE WERE MISFIRES AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT AND TESTING IT OUT (TEST DRIVING) AND WORK WAS NEEDED (THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENT, SPARK PLUG REPLACEMENT, CAM SHAFT SWAP OUT AND A FULL TUNE-UP). $1000 AND LESS THAN A YEAR LATER IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND THEN AGAIN. THIS IS THE 3RD YEAR (2016, 2017, 2018) IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN A ROW AND ALL THE MECHANIC CAN SAY IS THAT IT MAY BE SOMETHING GM SHOULD INVESTIGATE. I'VE CALLED GM WITH NO LUCK. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND I AM THANKFUL THAT MY KIDS WERE NOT IN THE CAR WHEN IT HAPPENS. TRYING TO NAVIGATE TRAFFIC ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN YOUR CAR THROTTLES DOWN TO 25-35 MPH IS INSANE.

Mileage: 98,000

VEHICLE'S ENGINE MAKE LOUD NOISE WHEN STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. NEVER HAS MADE THIS SOUND BEFORE. ALL RECALLS THAT WERE LISTED WHICH WERE THE HIGH FUEL PUMP AND CARBON MONOXIDE HAVE BEEN COMPLETED YET NO CHANGE IN VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT MAYEXHAUST AND CATALYST CONVERTER ARE THE ISSUES. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I'VE DISCOVERED THAT OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE ALONG WITH OWNERS OF THE EQUINOX HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

ENGINE - SLOWS DOWN AND SPEED UP AND JOLT AS IT ACCELERATE IN SPEED. HEATED SEATS - A MONTH AFTER PURCHASE THEY STOPPED WORKED OIL PUMP - THE FILTER GETS CLOGGED WITH METAL SHAVING AND WOULD NOT ALLOW THE OIL TO GET TO THE ENGINE. AS A RESULT, I HAD TO GET OIL CHANGES 3 TIMES IN A MONTH. DASH BOARD AND STEREO LIGHT WOULD FLICKER AND DIM. STEREO WOULD REPEAT WORDS AND GET STUCK IN ONE PLACE. THE WIND SHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING DURING A RAIN STORM AND WERE WIPING IN TWO SEPARATE DIRECTIONS AT THE SAME TIME.

Mileage: 77,000

WE PURCHASED THE 2010 GMC TERRAIN ON MARCH 30TH AND SINCE WE HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THE OIL 3 TIMES AND ONCE REFILL THE OIL. WE HAVE TO CHECK IT DAILY TO MAKE SURE IT HAS OIL AND IS SAFE FOR OUR DAUGHTER TO DRIVE IT. THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS EXACT PROBLEM WE HAVE FOUND OUT SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR. I WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED AND DONT WANT TO SELL IT TO SOMEONE ELSE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL THE COMPANY SHOULD STAND BEHIND THE ISSUE. THERE IS NO LEAKS WE HAVE NO OIL IN OUR DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR DOES NOT SMOKE. THE OIL JUST BURNS AWAY I GUESS. I FEEL THE DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED FROM SHOULD HAVE FIXED THIS BEFORE THEY SOLD IT.

Mileage: 115,000

VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING EXCESS OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE SINCE FEBRUARY OF 2018 AND HAVE HAD THE OIL CHANGED TWICE- BOTH TIMES THE DIPSTICK BARELY HAD AN OIL ON IT. I EXPERIENCED ENGINE KNOCKING AT ONE POINT (BETWEEN OIL CHANGES) AND CHECKED THE OIL TO REALIZE IT WAS ALMOST DRY.

Mileage: 88,000

JUST LIKE SO MANY OTHERS THAT HAVE COMPLAINED, THE ENGINE SEIZED WITH JUST 85,000 MILES ON IT. IT WAS ALWAYS WELL MAINTAINED AND OUT OF THE BLUE, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 45MPH (IN LIGHT TRAFFIC), THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT DIED. I'VE HAD TWO MECHANICS LOOK AT IT AND BOTH SAY IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. THEY BOTH ALSO SAY THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST ENGINES THAT HAS EVER BEEN MANUFACTURED. I NOW HAVE TO DECIDE IF I WANT TO PAY $6000 FOR A NEW (USED) MOTOR, OR IF I WANT TO WALK AWAY AND EAT THE BALANCE OF MY LOAN. THANKS GMC!

Mileage: 85,000

HAD ONE CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACED A FEW WEEKS AGO NOW NEED THE 2ND ONE REPLACED. GM HAS A SPECIAL COVERAGE NOTICE FOR 2010-2011 CATALYTIC CONVERTERS ON THE 2.4 LITER ENGINE BUT NOT THE 3.0. MY 3.0 HAS THE SAME ISSUE AND GM SHOULD INCLUDE COVERING THIS UNDER SPECIAL COVERAGE.....I PHONED TO VOICE THE ISSUE AND THEY GAVE ME A CASE NUMBER SHOULD THERE BE INCLUSION FOR THE 3.0 IN THE FUTURE. HAD A FEW CARS OVER THE YEARS AND NEVER HAD TO REPLACE ONE CATALYTIC CONVERTER, TWO ON A CAR THAT DOES NOT HAVE ALOT OF MILEAGE AND NOT INCLUDED IN THE SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR THE 2.4 ENGINE DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT.

GENERAL MOTORS KNOWINGLY AND WILLFULLY MANUFACTURED AN ENGINE WITH AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE, AND GM IS REQUIRING ME TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT. I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH THAT SUNDANCE CHEVROLET (LANSING, MI) HAD A FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY TO NOTIFY ME OF THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN TO THEM. THEY WERE NEGLIGENT IN THEIR DUTY TO ME AS THEIR CUSTOMER. GM HAS ALSO BEEN DERELICT IN THEIR DUTY TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY ENGINE THEY MANUFACTURED AND THEIR DEALER SOLD TO ME.

VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY (DRIVES FINE FOR A WEEK, DAY, MONTH WITH NO PROBLEM) DIES ON ME WHILE DRIVING, OR WONT ACCELERATE ABOVE 35MPH. SYSTEM SAYS OVERHEAT CONDITION BUT THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DOES NOT SAY IT'S OVERHEATING. DEALERSHIP RUNS DIAGNOSTICS AND SAYS NOTHING WRONG BUT IT KEEPS HAPPENING UNEXPECTEDLY. CAUSES PROBLEMS ON HIGHWAY AND IS DANGEROUS. 3 MECHANICS SAID BAD ECM, BUT CHEVY DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE OR REFLASH ECM. I'VE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FLUSHING RADIATOR, REPLACING THERMOSTAT, REPLACING CAMSHAFT SENSORS, MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR, RUNNING DIAGNOSTICS, RENTING VEHICLES, AND NOTHING HELPS. I SEE WHERE THERE ARE RECALLS OF GMC TERRAIN ECM'S BUT NOT MINE? THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS. I NEED HELP. I OWE MORE THAN THE CAR IS WORTH AND I'M PAYING SO MUCH TO DIAGNOSE SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY GM.

Mileage: 125,000

VEHICLE HAS CONSISTENTLY RUN LOW/OUT OF OIL, AND OIL WOULD NEED TO BE ADDED WEEKLY TO MAINTAIN LEVELS. AFTER ASKING/CHECKING FOR RECALLS, NOTHING WAS FOUND.

CAR LOST POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC MOVING AT 60 MPH ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. HAD TO BE TOWED TO A DEALER, WHERE THEY SAID THE TIMING CHAIN HAD BROKEN AND THE ENGINE WAS DESTROYED AS A RESULT. THEN WE FIND OUT THAT BROKEN TIMING CHAINS AND BROKEN BALANCE CHAINS ARE COMMON PROBLEMS ON 2010/2011 TERRAINS.YET GM HAS NEVER BEEN FORCED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM OR ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. (TIMING CHAIN BREAKAGE IN ANY ENGINE SHOULD BE RARE, NOT A COMMON OCCURRENCE!)

Mileage: 92,000

NO WARNING INDICATORS (AS IN NONE ) OF ANY KIND FOR LOW OIL OR LOW OIL PRESSURE AS A RESULT WHEN OIL IS LOW OR EMPTY IT WILL CAUSE THE TIMING CHAIN / BELT TO BREAK. GMC HAS A WARNING ABOUT WORN RINGS THAT RESULTS IN EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION OF OIL. WITHIN ABOUT 2500 MILES OF MY OIL CHANGE IT WAS OUT OF OIL AND RESULTED IN THE TIMING CHAIN / BELT BREAKING.

ALSO USING TOO MUCH OIL. DEALER STARTED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST IN APRIL 2017. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON. AS OF 5-17-17 I NOW HAVE TO HAVE THE TIMING CHAIN REPLACED AT 103075 MILES. GM HAS ISSUED SERVICE/TECHNICAL BULLETINS BUT DOES HELP ANYONE OVER 100,000 MILES. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL. I DON'T WANT TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE ENGINE. OIL CHANGES HAVE BEEN AT GM DEALERS AND I HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTATION.

MY HUSBAND CHANGE THE OIL 2 DAYS AGO AND SAID THAT THERE WAS A LEAK OF OIL.. I HAD CHANGED MY OIL BACK ON 2-28-2017. MY HUSBAND SAID THERE WAS OIL ON THE STICK. SO I WANT TO SAY THAT IT WAS SHORT 2 OR 3 QUARTS OF OIL. ME NOT KNOWING THAT IT HAD BEEN LEAKING. ITS MAKING A SOUND LIKE ITS KNOTTING, LIKE IF THE BELT WAS LOOSE, A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER HAVING THE OIL CHANGED.. WE HAVE ALREADY CHANGED SPARKNPLUGS AND TYHEY WERE BAD.

HAD TO REPLACE ENGINE WHICH COST OVER $4300 AND I THINK IT WAS DUE TO SOME RECALL PARTS (TIMING CHAIN AND CADILLAC CONVERTER) I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE THIS COMPANY HAD SOME FAULTY PARTS. I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THIS.

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 5 MILES AN HOUR, TURNING VEHICLE AROUND A CUL-DE-SAC THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY TURNS OFF. I HAVE CONTACTED THE GMC DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS AND THE ONLY RECALL I WAS TOLD WAS THE FUEL PUMP. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD ORDER MY PARTS AND THEY WOULD CALL ME; I NEVER RECEIVED A CALL. I HAVE TOWED THE VEHICLE TO TWO REPAIR SHOPS AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY BOTH THAT IT IS A TIMING CHAIN ISSUE AND I NEED TO INSTALL A NEW ENGINE! I CALLED THE GMC DEALERSHIP AND ASKED IF THE RECALL COULD BE A DIRECT RESULT OF MY TIMING CHAIN ISSUE, AND IF I HAD ANY OTHER RECALLS? I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM TO LOOK AT MY VEHICLE IF NOT APART OF THE RECALL. I DO NOT HAVE THE EXTRA MONEY TO PAY MULTIPLE TIMES FOR MY CAR TO BE LOOKED AT OR TO PUT AN ENGINE IN A VEHICLE THAT HAS LESS THAN 85K MILES. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN LATE DECEMBER OF 2015 AND HAVE NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE SINCE ABOUT SEPTEMBER OF 2016. I HAVE GOTTEN AT LEAST TWO OIL CHANGES IN THAT TIME FRAME (DEC-SEPT) FROM THE SAME GMC DEALERSHIP AND WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT ANY RECALLS OR ANY ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE BESIDES NEEDING TIRES/BRAKES. ONE OF THE MECHANICS THAT I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SAID I HAVE OTHER RECALLS. I WAS NOT ABLE TO LOCATE ANY OTHERS ONLINE AND THAT IS MY REASON FOR WRITING THIS. I AM VERY UNSATISFIED AND DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PROCEED.

THE DEALERSHIPS SAY IT IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE MY VEHICLE VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SPECIAL COVERAGE OF 10 YEARS, 120000 MI. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY REPLACED BY A DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THIS NEW ENGINE IS NOT THE ORIGINAL ENGINE. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP IF THEY CAN TRACE THE ENGINE SERIAL NUMBER BACK AND SEE IF IT WAS BUILT IN THE SAME TIMEFRAME AS THE SUSPECT ENGINE. HOWEVER THEY WILL NOT DO THAT. DEALERSHIP IS CHANGING THE TIMING CHAIN FOR SPECIAL COVERAGE THOUGH. I WILL PROBABLY HAVE THE DEALERSHIP FIX THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM OUT OF MY OWN POCKET SINCE THE THEY HAVE TO TAKE THE ENGINE APART FOR THE TIMING CHAIN ISSUE. IT'S CHEAPER THAN DOING IT BY ITSELF OR CHANGING THE ENGINE.

"TAKATA RECALL" SO FAR AT 140,000 MILES ON MY 2010 TERRAIN I HAVE HAD TO PUT A NEW ENGINE IN, ALL 3 CATALYTIC CONVERTERS AND NOW A POWER STEERING PUMP AND RACK.

I AM ADDING ON ADDITIONAL INFORMATION TO MY PREVIOUS COMPLAINT #10938600. GMC SCA #14159, 14232, 15810, 12313, AND MY TRANSMISSION FAILURE ALL SEEM TO FALL VICTIM TO EXCESSIVE HEAT. I WAS PULLING INTO TRAFFIC WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. MY TERRAIN HAS FALLEN VICTIM TO THREE POSSIBLY FOUR OF THE FIVE CALAMITIES. THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE ALL FIVE WILL NOT FAIL UNDER THE SAME DRIVING CONDITIONS. SOMEHOW NOT ONCE DID WARNING LIGHTS COME ON FOR MULTIPLE ENGINE OIL OCCURRENCES, NOR FOR MY TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I WAS AN HVAC CHILLER TECHNICIAN FOR 28 YEARS. WHEN I HEAR ECM REFERENCED, AS IN SCA#12312, I HAVE TO ASK WHICH VALUES WERE CHANGED AND WHY. THERMISTORS AND PRESSURE SWITCHES DESIGNED TO PROTECT VITAL ENGINE COMPARTMENT COMPONENTS RUN THROUGH THE ECM YET NO WARNING. MY TRANSMISSION FAILED ON DECEMBER 4, 2016, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER MAY BE BAD, THE STEERING GEAR IS SUSPECT, AND THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS HAVE NOT DONE WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO. THE UNNECESSARILY LONG DELAY IN ADDRESSING THE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE OUTLINED IN SCA#14159 PROBABLY COMPROMISED MY ENGINE IN OTHER WAYS. SCA#12313 RESULTED FROM GM DELAYING THE REPAIR OF SCA#14159 FOR SO LONG. WHAT, WHY, AND HOW. WE KNOW WHAT IS FAILING. SIMPLY REPLACING THE PART IN KIND OR SIMILAR IS NOT ADDRESSING WHY. HOW DO WE KEEP IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN IS DEFINITELY NOT BEING ADDRESSED. SAFETY AS WELL AS QUALITY ISSUES ARE AT HAND HERE. GM HAS IGNORED MY REQUESTS FOR ALL INFORMATION REGARDING SCA#14159, 14232, 15810, 12313, AND 12312, AS WELL AS THE TRANSMISSION. WHY THEY ARE FAILING IS EXCESSIVE HEAT. THAT IS JUST MY GUESS. THEY KNOW WHAT IT IS. I CAN NOT AFFORD A COSTLY TRANSMISSION BILL THAT ONLY FINDS ME BACK IN AN UNRELIABLE VEHICLE WITH SOME SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES. *TR

INITIALLY RADIO STAYED ON AFTER LEAVING CAR ONCE. LATER THE CAR WOULD NOT START EVEN THOUGH BATTERY WAS FAIRLY NEW. MECHANIC DIAGNOSED 2 CODES (P062B CONTROL MICRO PROCESSOR AND P0690 RELAY CIRCUIT) RELATED TO ECM. MECHANIC RESET THE ECM AND TRIED RUNNING CAR BUT CODES CAME BACK AGAIN. NEW ECM HAD TO BE ORDERED AND INSTALLED.

TAKATA RE CALL WHILE DRIVING ON SECONDARY STREET MY VEHICLE LOST MOMENTUM. FROMM 45 MPH TO 30 THEN SHUT DOWN. THE RECIEVED MESSAGE ENGINE POWER REDUCED. IT VIBRATED AND SHUT DOWN. I LOOKED UP THE CODE. SAT FOR A MOMENT AND RESTARTED. IT WENT WITHOUT INCIDENT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. HAD IT CHECKED OUT SAYS IT'S THE THROTTLE BODY WAS NEEDED. IS THERE A RECALL?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE AND CONTROL ASSIST WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE SPEED DECELERATED BELOW 10 MPH INDEPENDENTLY IN ADDITION THE ENGINE MADE AN ABNORMAL SOUND. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME SLOWLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,332. UPATED 03/07/17*LJ *CN

GMC SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT #14159A TOOK AN UNNECESSARILY LONG TIME TO FIX(OVER 6 MONTHS) BECAUSE GM SAID THE VEHICLE HAS TO CONSUME A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES FOR THEM TO HONOR THE VEHICLE. I WAS FORCED INTO DRIVING THE VEHICLE LESS TO AVOID CAUSING FURTHER DAMAGE. THE LONGER DURATION I DROVE IT THE MORE OIL IT WOULD CONSUME. WHY WOULD I KEEP DRIVING A VEHICLE IF THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED EARLY ENOUGH THAT I COULD AVOID CAUSING FURTHER DAMAGE. I WAS BASICALLY TOLD THE VEHICLE HAS TO RUN OUT OF OIL WITHIN 3000 MILES FOR THEM TO WARRANTY SCA#14159A. IT ENDED UP HAPPENING AND THAT PROBLEM WAS FIXED BUT IT TOOK AN ADDITIONAL 3 MONTHS OF FILLING OUT AN OIL CONSUMPTION SHEET. WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY MOST SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN ABOUT THE VEHICLE. SCA#14232A- POWER STEERING. I CAN NOT GET AN ANSWER FROM GM ON WHETHER THIS IS A PROGRESSIVELY WORSENING ISSUE WITHIN THE STEERING GEAR OR DOES IT FAIL WITHOUT WARNING. THEIR RESPONSE IS THE CONDITION MUST HAPPEN BEFORE THEY WILL REPLACE THE STEERING GEAR. ACCORDING TO SCA#14232A THE CONDITION IS THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE INCREASED FRICTION IN THE STEERING SYSTEM WHILE DRIVING LONG DISTANCES ON A STRAIGHT HIGHWAY. THIS COULD CAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL TO STICK IN THE STRAIGHT-AHEAD POSITION. PRETTY SCARY SCENARIO HAS TO HAPPEN BEFORE THEY WOULD FIX A FLAW THEY ALREADY KNOW ABOUT IN THE STEERING SYSTEM. A HUNDRED AND FIFTY BAD THINGS MIGHT HAPPEN TO ME WHEN I GET BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A CAR I AM NOT THAT PARANOID TO THINK ABOUT THEM. WHEN THE MANUFACTURER SUGGESTS SOMETHING SPECIFIC AND DEADLY MAY HAPPEN I AM GOING TO AVOID THAT SITUATION. MAY HAPPEN IS MORE LIKELY THAN MIGHT HAPPEN. FINALLY, MY TRANSMISSION WENT UP THREE WEEKS AGO WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON IT. ETHICALLY I CAN NOT SELL IT EVEN IF I FIX THE TRANSMISSION AND WON'T DRIVE IT. *TR

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WITH AROUND 86,000 MI - ONE OWNER, FROM DEALERSHIP. THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A NOISE WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS. I HAVE TO CHANGE THE OIL EVERY MONTH BECAUSE OF THE UNUSUAL OIL BURNING ISSUE. IT DIED ON ME THREE TIMES. THE ENGINE WOULD SLOW DOWN TO A STOP. I HAD TO TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON. LATER, AFTER A COLD DAY, I HAD AN OIL LEAK. I TOOK IT IN AND THE MECHANIC SAID THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PCV SYSTEM AND THE CAR HAS HAD RECALLS IN THE PAST. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS REAR MAIN SEAL NEEDS REPLACED. I FOUND A SPECIAL COVERAGE BULLETIN FROM GM ONLINE WHERE IT SAID THAT CERTAIN LOCATIONS/VINS ARE COVERED BECAUSE OF THE CRANKSHAFT REAR OIL SEAL NEEDS REPLACEMENT. MINE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THIS BUT WHEN I CALLED GM IT SAID MY VIN WAS NOT ON THE LIST. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT. LOTS OF ENGINE NOISE, VERY HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION/BURN, AND DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE, AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE OWNERS TO FILE FOR A CIVIL ACTION IF THEY OWN THIS TYPE VEHICLE BECAUSE ALL THE REVIEWS LEAD TO THE SAME ISSUE. GM SHOULD HONOR THEIR VALUES BY EITHER REPLACING THE PARTS OR RECALLING THESE VEHICLES. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A GM VEHICLE AGAIN. THE DESIGN IS GREAT BUT THE ENGINE AND SYSTEM ARE OF VERY POOR QUALITY. *TR

I I CHANGED IT. IT STALLED REPEATEDLY AND WE HAD IT REPAIRED RECENTLY. WE ALSO HAD THE OIL CHECKED AND REPLACED SO GM COULD TRACK THE OIL CONSUMPTION. UNFORTUNATELY A MONTH LATER THE CAR WOULD NOT START SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY, SO WE HAD IT TOWED IN TO A GM DEALER. THEY SAID THE TIMING CHAIN IS BUSTED AND THEY NEED TO PULL THE ENGINE BECAUSE THERE IS METAL IN THE OIL PAN SO OUR OIL TEST IS WORTHLESS. THE MECHANIC SAID NOT CHANGING THE OIL OR LOW OIL LEVELS MAY HAVE CAUSED THE TIMING CHAIN PROBLEM. THE ESTIMATED COST TO FIX THE CURRENT PROBLEM IS AT LEAST $2,300. I'M GOING TO CONTACT A LAWYER AND SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE BECAUSE THIS CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED.

WHILE I WAS WAITING FOR REASONS WHY THE LIGHT WAS ON SPOKE TO ANOTHER PERSON AND SHE CLAIMED SHE HAD 2 PERSONS WHO HAD SIMILAR ISSUES SO THAT IS WHY IM LOOKING TO SEE IF THERE IS A SUIT IN PROGRESS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE CONTACT OBSERVED THAT THE ANTIFREEZE COOLANT SEAL FAILED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO OVERHEAT WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE PISTON RINGS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ALSO, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED.

REQUESTING A RECALL ON THE 2010 GMC TERRAIN. MILEAGE THAT WAS ON THE STICKER WAS INCORRECT. FAR FROM THE TRUTH. MAJOR OIL CONSUMPTION, NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. TAPPING NOISE WAS REPORTED @ 3,000 WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL. KNEW IT WAS NOT. HAD TO REPLACE CAMSHAFT, ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, HEAD LIGHTS CONSTANTLY GOING, NEVER LASTING ANYTIME. WILL NOW HAVE TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION AND PROBABLY ENGINE. GMC STATED THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE TERRAIN THEY STATED IF THERE WERE ANY PROBLEMS THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLS AND THAT THE NHTSA WOULD HAVE DONE THIS. WILL THIS BE DONE? NOT SURE HOW GMC IS GETTING AWAY WITH THIS. SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON LINE. ARE THERE ANY CLASS ACTION SUITS FOR THE TERRAIN? CAN WE START ONE? THERE ARE PLENTY OF PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. NOT EVEN SIMILAR IT'S EXACT.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER WILL HAVE TO BE REPAIRED. FAILED EMMISIONS TESTING. BY THE TIME I FIX THIS ALONG WITH THE OTHER MAJOR PARTS I KNOW IT'S 6 YEARS LATER BUT THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. PLEASE STRONGLY CONSIDER A RECALL ON THIS! THERE ARE UNUSUAL AND MAJOR ISSUES WITH THE 2010 GMC TERRAIN PLEASE CHECK THE INTERNET OR PULL FILES OF ALL ISSUE WHERE GMC STATES NOTHING WAS DETECTED. THIS IS AN EASY WAY FOR GMC TO GET OUT OF RECALLS. MAYBE WE NEED TO GO TO THE NEWS AND PAPERS.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER GOING OUT ON A CAR 6 YEARS OLD. I KNOW SOME GMC HAVE HAD RECALLS ON THEIR CATALYTIC CONVERTER, WHY NOT THE TERRAIN. I HAVE HAD SO MANY THINGS FIXED ON THIS CAR. THE CAR STARTED RUNNING REALLY ROUGH AND HARD. THE FIRST THINGS CAUSED THE CAR TO SHUT DOWN IN POWER. THAT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS FIX. THEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT KEPT COMING ON, AND I HAD REPAIRED. THEN A RECALL WAS ON THAT, AND I WAS REIMBURSE MY MONEY. THEN I HAD THE EVAP VENT SOLENOID ASM AND CLEARED. STILL MORE PROBLEMS SO TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. MORE MONEY SPENT AS NOW THEY SAID "TESTED EVAP SYSTEM AND FOUND GAS CAP LEAKING." REPAIRED THAT THEN MORE MONEY WAS NEEDED AS THEY SAID AFTER THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN EVAP PURGE SOLENOID LEAKING PRESSURE.THEN THE COMPRESSOR WENT OUT. I LIVE IN TEXAS SO AIR WAS NEEDED. WELL NOW THE SERVICES ENGINE LIKE IS ON AGAIN, AND THE CAR IDLE REAL HARD AND JERKS LIKE IT WANTS TO DIE. AFTER CHECKING THE ENGINE LIGHT I WAS TOLD NOW IT'S MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER, AND ITS GOING TO COST ME $1200. AFTER RESEARCHING I HAVE FOUND OTHER ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 GMC TERRAIN. THESE CARS AND YEAR MODEL APPEAR TO BE JUNK. WILL THERE BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM? COULD YOU ARE INVESTIGATE THIS?

I BOUGHT THIS CAR 12/2014 IN 01/15 I TOOK IT IN FOR A NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE TIMING CHAIN. IT WAS REPLACED. IN 12/2015 I HAD ENGINE PROBLEMS THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED WITH HELP OF THE WARRANTY I WAS OUT OF POCKET $850.00. NOW 08/16 IT RAN HOT WHILE ON THE FREE. I GOT OFF A THE NEXT EXIT AND TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE THEY COULDN'T TELL WHAT WAS WRONG. I HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT THAT DIDN'T WORK. HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID SOMETHING ABOUT A BATTERY. THAT DIDN'T EVEN APPLY. THEY SENT IT BACK TO THE PEOPLE THEY BOUGHT THE ENGINE FROM IN 12/2015. THEY SAID THE TIMING CHAIN WAS BROKE AGAIN. THEY FIXED IT BUT IT'S STILL RUNNING HOT. THEY WARRANTY WAS VOIDED B/C I DROVE IT OFF THE FREEWAY AND THE TEMP REACHED HIGHER THAN 280 DEGREES. THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE GASKETS FOR $1000.00 THAT I HAVE TO PA OUT OF POCKET AND IT STILL MIGHT HAVE PROBLEMS AND NEED ANOTHER ENGINE. ALL IN LESS THAN A YEAR. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THIS. I BELIEVE THE DEALERSHIP EITHER DIDN'T INSTALL THE ENGINE CORRECTLY OR THE ENGINE WAS ALREADY NO GOD

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED MULTIPLE TIMES. A ROUGH IDLE WAS INITIAL INDICATION SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TESTED MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD FROM DEALERSHIP AND OTHER MECHANICS THAT IT IS A TIMING ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WILL START AND DRIVE. SAFELY PROBLEM IS WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A BUSY TWO WAY INTERSECTION, AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AS NEEDED ALMOST LEADING TO AN ACCIDENT. UNDER NORMAL WORKING CONDITION I WOULD HAVE HAD NO PROBLEM MAKING IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. IT VERY SLOWLY PUTTERED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WHILE I HAD THE ACCELERATOR PUSHED TO THE FLOOR BOARD AND AFTER FINALLY CROSSING THE INTERSECTION BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AT AN UNEXPECTED SPEED. I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE SO UNEXPECTEDLY THAT I TEMPORARILY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CROSSED INTO THE INCOMING LANE OF TRAFFIC.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH PEOPLE BEHIND ME, AND THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE LIGHT CAME ON THAT SAID STABILITRACK. IT WOULD NOT START BACK UP. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP, AND WE CONTACTED GMC, THEY SAID OUR WARRANTY HAD RAN OUT IN DECEMBER 2014, AND THIS TOOK PLACE FEBRUARY 2015. THE VEHICLE HAD AROUND 60,000 MILES ON IT. IT TURNED OUT IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN, AND WHEN IT BROKE IT DESTROYED THE WHOLE MOTOR. IT ACTUALLY SHEARED OFF SOME OTHER METAL PARTS. THE WHOLE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED, AND WE HAD TO PAY FOR IT ALL OUT OF OUR POCKET, WHILE WE ARE STILL PAYING FOR THE VEHICLE ITSELF. I FEEL LIKE THAT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE ITSELF, BECAUSE YOU READ ON THESE PAGES AND FORUMS, AND TONS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS WE HAD. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BY IT STOPPING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH NO WARNING AT ALL!!

I HAVE 41,000 MILES - SHOULD I NEED A LEFT PRETENSION BUCKLE (PART FAILURE) AND TIMING CHAIN - OIL WAS CHANGED IN DECEMBER, CHECKED IN JANUARY AND GMC DEALER STATES I HAVE NO OIL AND NEED A TIMING CHAIN WHERE DID THE OIL GO? IS THIS A FACTOR DEFECT? CAR STALLED AT STOP SIGNS AND RED LIGHTS.

THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES, TWICE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, ANOTHER TIME IN MOTION, DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER BEFORE IT DIED.

I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE CHECKED TWICE THIS YEAR REGARDING THE LOUD EXHAUST NOISE AND THE STRONG FUEL SMELL COMING FROM MY VEHICLE. THEY SAID THAT IT IS NOT A CONCERN AND I GET MIGRAINES FROM THE SMELL AS WELL. I TAKE MY LITTLE SISTER TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY AND THE THE FUMES ARE OVERWHELMING.

WHILE DRIVING BACK FROM WORK, IN A 2010 2.4L GMC TERRAIN PURCHASED AT STAR BUICK GMC, THE CAR WAS MAKING A HORRIBLE RATTLING NOISE, WHICH HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT CAUSED THE ENTIRE CAR TO SHUT DOWN. IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH-HOUR TRAFFIC WITH A CAR THAT WOULDN'T RESPOND. SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE JOYCEKOONS GMC DEALERSHIP FOR REQUIRED MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE, BECAUSE THE TIMING CHAIN WAS DAMAGED, AND THE CAR APPEARS TO BE LOSING SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. THIS TIME WHEN HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP I'M TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE NEEDS REPLACEMENT BECAUSE METAL HAS GOTTEN INSIDE, AND CONVENIENTLY I'M 3 MONTHS OUTSIDE OF MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THIS SORT OF ISSUE PUTS LIVES AT RISK (ENGINE FAILURE IN TRAFFIC) AND I WOULD LIKE THE GOVT. TO INVESTIGATE SO THAT OTHERS DO NOT SUFFER FROM THIS PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE.

WHEN I LOOSE POWER THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING BUT I CAN'T PUT IT IN GEAR. I THE. HAVE TO SHUT MY CAR OFF START IT AGAIN AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO GET OFF THE HILL. I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL LOOSE POWER OR STALL ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WILL GET IN AN ACCIDENT. MY WARRANTY RAN OUT LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALMOST THREE MONTHS.

I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS ENGINE SINCE I FIRST LEASED THE CAR BRAND NEW IN 2010 AND EVENTUALLY BOUGHT IT. THE SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AT VARIOUS TIMES, COUPLED WITH REALLY ROUGH IDLE. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AS IT WAS SO RANDOM I NEVER THOUGHT I HAD A SERIOUS ENGINE DEFECT. IN JULY OF 2014 I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 MILES TO WORK ONE WAY, AND THAT IS WHEN THE REAL TROUBLE BEGAN. THE SERVICE STABILITRAK ERROR MESSAGE WOULD COME ON SEVERAL TIMES DURING THOSE CAR TRIPS REDUCING POWER. I WOULD PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF, TURN IT BACK ON, AND MOST TIMES THE CAR RESUMED NORMAL DRIVING CONDITION. ONE DAY IN JULY 2014 THE CAR JUST DIED, IT WOULDN'T RUN. I HAD IT TOWED TO A GMC DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AS I HAD UNDER 36,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THEY REPLACED TRANSMISSION, TRANSAXLE, TENSIONER, CHAIN, CHAIN PACKAGE, GASKET, WATER PUMP, AND BALANCE SHAFT REPLACEMENT. THEY ALSO REPROGRAMMED ECM AND PERFORMED MORE DIAGNOSTICS ON SERVICE ENGINE SOON WARNING LIGHT. FROM JANUARY 2015 THRU JULY 2015 I'VE HAD HORRIBLE ISSUES WITH SERVICE STABILITRAK ERRORS AND THE ENGINE GOING INTO LOW POWER MODE. IT WOULD GO AWAY LONG ENOUGH PERIODS THAT I JUST DIDN'T GET IT LOOKED AT BUT NOW IT COMES ON REDUCING POWER EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. I REALLY HOPE THIS IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SOMEHOW OR ABLE TO BE FIXED THROUGH RECALL. I FEEL LIKE I GOT A LEMON FROM THE BEGINNING BUT DIDN'T KNOW UNTIL MUCH LATER. I'M HESITANT TO TAKE IT INTO A DEALER AGAIN NOW AFTER READING SO ANY HORROR STORIES ABOUT HOW THE DEALERS ARE GUESSING ON HOW TO SOLVE THE ISSUES AND FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE OF NOT GETTING MY ISSUES RESOLVED BY THE DEALER. I'M NOT BLAMING THE DEALER, BUT IT SEEMS THERE IS A FUNDAMENTAL DESIGN FLAW WITH THIS ENGINE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN MY 2010 GMC TERRAIN SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND SLOWED DOWN. THE NEXT MORNING MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND STAYED ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. PROBLEMS WITH THE TIMING CHAIN BEING STRETCHED, CAMSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT ACTUATOR, AND OIL LEAKING IN THE ENGINE. HOW COULD I NEED A NEW ENGINE, MY CAR HAS 58,500 MILES ON IT. GM HAD A RECALL DUE TO THE TIMING CHAIN STRETCHING. I HAD THE RECALL TAKEN CARE OF IN NOV 2013. 1 1/2 YEARS LATER, 15,000 MILES LATER AND 2 1/2 MONTHS PAST MY WARRANTY AND THE ENGINE GOES. WASN'T THE RECALL SUPPOSE TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD COST AROUND $6,000. THEY SUPPOSEDLY CALLED GM AND GM STATED THEY WOULD COVER ROUGHLY 60%. I STILL HAVE TO PAY $2500 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. PLUS THE ENGINE IS A REBUILT ENGINE SO I CAN RUN INTO THE SAME ISSUES. I WAS LIVID. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY WOULDN'T EVEN HELP ME. THEY STATED THEY COULD ONLY WORK WITH THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE TO LEAVE IT TO SOME DEALERSHIP TO NEGOTIATE ON MY BEHALF. I KNOW I AM GETTING TAKEN TO THE CLEANERS ON THIS BUT WHAT CAN I DO. I HAVE TO FIX IT IN ORDER TO TRADE IT IN. GM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINES IN THE 2010 TERRAIN AND THEY DON'T WANT TO DO A THING ABOUT IT. I NOTICED A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WERE COMPLAINING OF ENGINE PROBLEM ON THEIR 2010 TERRAIN TOO. WHAT MAKES THE SITUATION WORSE IS ON 5/17/2015 MY HUSBANDS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON IN HIS 2012 GMC SIERRA.

DRIVING BACK FROM A TWO HOUR TRIP AT APROX 55 MPH OUR 2010 GMC STARTED FLASHING "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND "SERVICE STABILITRAK" WITH THE STABILITRAK LIGHT. SPEED DROPPED DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MPH WITHOUT CONTROL. THE CAR WAS IDLING HEAVING WITH RMPS JUMPING. WE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED THE CAR, THE ONLY LIGHT THAT REMAINED ON WAS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. SPEED CONTROL WAS RESTORED. BY THE TIME WE MADE IT HOME, APROX 20 MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED OFF. THEN A COUPLE WEEKS LATER AGAIN, TWICE IN ONE NIGHT, BACK TO BACK. I CALLED THE DEALER FOR AN APPOINTMENT BECAUSE I ASSUMED IT WOULD BE COVERED BY A GMC WARRANTY, THEY DID NOT HAVE AVAILABILITY FOR 7+ DAYS. THE NIGHT BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT DID NOT CORRECT ITSELF AND WE HAD TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT 30 MPH. I JUST RECEIVED THE NEWS, $800 LATER, IT NEEDS A NEW THROTTLE BODY, EXHAUST CAM SOLENOID AND ANOTHER REPAIR TO THE CAMSHAFT. I DO NOT HAVE THE PAPERWORK BACK FROM THE DEALER YET FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS, BUT AM DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 GMC TERRAINS AND THEY TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIRS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THERE IS A LOT OF POTENTIAL DANGER TO HAVING YOUR SPEED DROP WITH NO WARNING OR CONTROL.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, 65 MPH. WITHOUT WARNING THE CARS DISPLAY SAID SERVICE STABILITRAK AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER. CARS COMING UP BEHIND ME FAST, HAD TO PULL OVER, NO POWER. ALMOST WRECKED / DIED. DEALER SAYS CAN'T RECREATE ISSUE AND CLEARED CODES. I'M AFRAID IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

NOTICED NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE, TOOK TOO DEALER AND WAS ADVISED NOTHING WRONG. 2010. TOOK TOO ANOTHER DEALER, TOLD NOTHING WRONG AND VEHICLE WOULD SOON BE OUT OF WARRANTY AT (36,000 MILES) CONTACTED GM, WAS ADVISED WARRANTY UNTIL (100,000 MILES). RETURNED TO DEALER, CAM ACTUATORS REPLACED WAS TOLD "FIXED". RETURNED TO DEALER WITHIN A MONTH OR SO, SAME PROBLEM. CAM ACTUATORS REPLACED, WAS TOLD "FIXED" CONTACTED GM REGARDING LEMON LAW, REFUSED TO REPLACE ADVISED THEM VEHICLE STILL MAKING NOISE. RETURNED TO DEALER AGAIN, DEALER CLAIMED VEHICLE WAS FINE. GM OFFERED A $2,000.00 OWNER LOYALTY BUT REFUSED ANY FURTHER REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF MY VEHICLE. RECENTLY RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC (DATED SEPTEMBER 2014) ADVISING OF THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE HAD SINCE FIRST MONTH I OWNED VEHICLE, AND I PURCHASED BRAND NEW! OCTOBER 23, 2014 SENT LETTER TO GMC (CERTIFIED MAIL/RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED) REQUESTING THEY EITHER RESPOND AND REPAIR OR REPLACE VEHICLE OR I WOULD FILE COMPLAINTS AND DO MY BEST TO GET A CLASS ACTION SUIT STARTED. AS OF TODAY 11/21/2014, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE FROM GMC. I DO NOT HAVE THE FINANCES TO JUST GO BUY VEHICLES, I HAVE DISABLED PEOPLE IN THE HOUSEHOLD AND THIS WAS TO BE A LONG TERM "RELIABLE" VEHICLE, INSTEAD IT HAS BEEN A JOKE! VEHICLE HAS STALLED IN TRAFFIC NUMEROUS TIMES, DECIDED TO DROP SPEED AND HAVE NO POWER TO BARELY MOVE. THIS IS ONE OF THE AVENUES I AM TAKING, I WILL ALSO BE FORWARDING COPIES OF ALL OF THE REPAIRS AND LETTERS TO SENATORS, CONGRESSMAN ETC. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT A STOP. I AM SERIOUSLY CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF MY WIFE. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS AND SHE INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE HER VEHICLE BASICALLY SHUTS OFF AND LEAVES HER VERY VULNERABLE? WHAT IF THE VEHICLE STALLS DURING DRIVING? GMC IS NO HELP, I HAVE CALLED AND ALL THEY SAY IS THERE IS NO RECALL. I GET ON THEIR WEBSITE AND IT DOES NOT WORK. WE HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE IGNITION, HAVING TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND ALSO THE TIMING CHAIN MAKING HORRIBLE NOISE. THE LATEST INCIDENT REALLY CONCERNS ME AS IT MAY PLACE MY WIFE IN SERIOUS DANGER. PLEASE HELP! *TR

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND DISPLAY READ POWER STEERING PROBLEM. AFTER GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY AND COMING TO A STOP AT A REDLIGHT, THE CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. IT HAD NO POWER, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS RUNNING AND ENGINE WAS IDLING HARD AND MAKING A TERRIBLE NOISE. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER AND THE FIXED THE CAM ACTUATOR. CAR DROVE FINE FOR ANOTHER 2,000 MILES AND SAME ISSUED OCCURRED. IT IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED...AGAIN. WILL FILE ANOTHER COMPLAINT WHEN I KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS. *TR

CAM SHAFT POSITION ACTUATOR & CYLINOID & BALANCE SHAFT CHAIN MALFUNCTIONING FOUR TIMES BETWEEN 65,000 & 97,111. TWO DEALERSHIPS STATED THAT THEY WEREN'T AWARE THAT THIS WAS A RECURRING PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH ALL DEALERSHIPS HAVE ACCESS TO THE GM GLOBAL SITE THAT LISTS ALL REPAIRS AND THIS NEW MODEL HAD EXCESSIVE POWERTRAIN REPAIR ISSUES DUE TO THE 2.4 LITER ENGINE. GM CUSTOMER CARE UTILIZED STALL TACTICS BY INSISTING THAT AN "OIL CONSUMPTION" TEST BE DONE THAT CAUSED WASTED MILES AND TIME AND STALLED CORRECTION OF THE PROBLEM BY PUSHING THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS PAST THE 4 YEAR LIMIT BECAUSE THEY KNEW THE CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED WITH A NEW ENGINE OR NEW CAR. NEITHER DEALERSHIP HAD THE INTEGRITY TO ASSIST ME AS THE CONSUMER WITH THIS ISSUE, IN FACT I HAD TO SEEK ASSISTANCE FROM EXTERNAL AGENCIES TO EVEN LEARN THAT THERE WAS A COMPLAINT PROCESS HIGHER THAN THE DEALERSHIP AND CUSTOMER CARE WHEN THERE ARE REPEATED REPAIRS FOR THE SAME THE ISSUE. *TR

I WAS GOING ABOUT 40 MPH ABOUT TO GET ON THE FREEWAY, WHEN MY CAR BEGIN A LOUD NOISE, SHAKING, AND DROPPED SPEED TO ABOUT 20 MPH. THE DASHBOARD SAID SOMETHING ALSO ABOUT NO POWER, NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL, CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. INSTEAD OF GETTING ON FREEWAY I PULLED OVER TO A GAS STATION. I CUT THE CAR OFF AND LEFT OFF FOR A MINUTE. I CUT IT BACK ON AND WAS RUNNING NORMAL. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE THROTTLE BODY AND THEY WOULD REPLACE FOR ME. THE PROBLEM IS THAT NO ONE BOTHER TO NOTIFY ME, AND IF I HAD NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM MIGHT NOT HAD KNOWN. *TR

IT STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN 12/13 REPLACED EXHAUST CAM SOLENOID AND AGAIN IN JANUARY 2014 WHEN THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE CAMSHAFT POSITION EXHAUST ACTUATOR. THE HAVE ALSO AT DIFFERENT TIMES HAD TO REPLACE THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP, WATER PUMP AND BALANCE SHAFT CHAIN, REPLACED THE CONDENSER, EVAC ON THE AIR CONDITIONER ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE OTHER 2010 GMC TERRAIN WE OWN. WE DO NOT FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR THE AC CONDENSER SINCE IT HAPPENED ON BOTH VEHICLES WE OWN WITHIN MONTHS OF EACH OTHER BUT WE DID. THE OTHER 2010 TERRAIN WE OWN WAS IN THE SHOP IN JANUARY 2014 BECAUSE IT STALLED AND IT WAS CAM SHAFT AND THE THROTTLE BODY ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER WE HAD TO TAKE THIS ONE IN FOR THE CAM. THE OTHER TERRAIN HAS WE OWN HAS ALSO HAD THE CAM WORKED ON SEVERAL TIMES. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALSO HAD SEVERAL RECALLS FOR OTHER ISSUES. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE VEHICLES BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THESE SAME PROBLEMS. LOOK ON EDMONDS ONLINE FORUM AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2010 TERRAINS AND THE 2010 EQUINOX. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE SO THE OWNERS CAN GET RID OF THESE VEHICLES BEFORE THEY STALL AGAIN AND SOMEBODY HITS THEM AND KILLS THEM LIKE THE SIX PEOPLE WHO DIED BECAUSE THE 2007 GM COBALT STALLED ON THEM WHILE DRIVING. WE NEED THE NHTSA TO HELP US. THEY WERE ALSO GOING TO CHARGE US ON THE OTHER VEHICLE ALMOST $900.00 TO FIX THE CAM SHAFT AND THROTTLE BODY, WHEN THE PROBLEM HAD OBVIOUSLY NOT BEEN FIXED ONE OF THE OTHER TIMES THAT GMC DEALERSHIPS WORKED ON IT UNTIL I COMPLAINED TO GMC. THEN THE DEALERSHIP SAID WE HAD TO PAY ABOUT $250.00 BECAUSE THE OWNER HAS TO PAY SOMETHING WHEN ITS OUT OF WARRANTY. THAT VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 43,000 MILES. I DON'T FEEL LIKE THE OWNERS SHOULD HAVE TO PAY ONE PENNY WHEN THERE IS A REPEAT PROBLEM ON A VEHICLE AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO KEEP IT FIXED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 20 MPH WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASHBOARD IT SAID ENGINE SPEED REDUCED. I BACKED DOWN AN ENTRANCE RAMP TO GET ONTO A LOCAL ROAD. AFTER 1 HOUR THE CAR WAS RESTARTED AND SEEMED OK. NOT LONG AFTER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE GMC DEALER, THEY DROVE IT 47 MILES AND COULD NOT GET IT TO ACT UP.I GOT THE CAR BACK, DROVE IT 70 MILES HOME AND THE NEXT MORNING IT HAPPENED AGAIN, 3 MILES FROM MY HOUSE. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER THEN REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY FOR $540. IT HAS BEEN FINE FOR 2 WEEKS. IN 2010, GMC DECIDED NOT TO COVER THIS PART UNDER THE ENGINE WARRANTY (AS IT DID IN PREVIOUS YEARS) AND NOW ASSIGNS IT TO THE EMISSION SYSTEM WHICH IS NOT COVERED. I HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM LISTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET ON MANY VEHICLES. IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN THE CAR SLOWS DOWN LIKE THIS ON THE HIGHWAY. PLEASE ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE LONG LIST OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

ON 10/17/2013 MY WIFE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT OUR LOCAL WALGREEN'S PHARMACY. AS SHE WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF THE PHARMACY THE CAR KEPT MOVING FORWARD SLOWLY ALTHOUGH SHE WAS PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS SHE COULD. THE CAR CRAWLED UP THE CONCRETE CURB STOP SLOWLY AND HIT THE STEEL PIPE BOLLARD PLACED IN FRONT OF THE CURB STOP TO PROTECT THE WALKWAY FRONT OF THE STORE. NO INJURIES OCCURRED TO MY WIFE, NO ONE WAS ON THE WALKWAY AT THE TIME. ONLY DAMAGE WAS TO THE BOLLARD (BENT OVER) PLASTIC BUMPER, GRILL AND RIGHT FRONT FENDER OF THE CAR. BOLLARD AND A TRASH RECEPTACLE BROUGHT THE CAR TO A STOP. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED. THE FIRST OCCASION WAS ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL STREET APPROACHING A STOP SIGN. AS THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN AND I WAS PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE CAR KEPT MOVING FORWARD WITH THE BRAKES BEING FULLY APPLIED. COULD HEAR THE ENGINE STRAINING AT AN INCREASED RPM. I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND JAMMED IT DOWN HARD AGAIN AND THE CAR CAME TO A STOP AT THE STOP SIGN WITH THE ENGINE IN NORMAL IDLE. IN THE THREE YEARS WE HAVE OWNED THIS CAR THESE ARE THE ONLY OCCASIONS THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED. *TR

APPROXIMATELY AROUND THE HIGH 4X,XXX MILES THE ENGINE STARTED GIVING ME EXTENDED CRANKING ISSUES. IT WOULD CRANK FOR 4-5 SECONDS AND NOT START AT ALL OR START BUT IDLES REALLY LOW LIKE ITS GOING TO DIE. I HAS DONE THIS COUNTLESS AMOUNT OF TIMES, EVEN CAUGHT IT ON VIDEO NUMEROUS TIMES ONLY BECAUSE EVERY TIME I BRING IT IN FOR THE STARTING ISSUE I ALWAYS GET THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR VEHICLE, HAVE A NICE DAY. IT GETS REALLY FRUSTRATING WHEN THE WIFE AND I DAILY DRIVE IT AND IT HAPPENS ABOUT 2-3 PER WEEK. AT TIMES WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR, IT SOUNDS LIKE ITS STILL ON FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THAN TURNS OFF LIKE WHEN A BUILDING LOSES POWER. ON ANOTHER HAND, OVER A MONTH AGO THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE OIL AND SAID I WAS REALLY LOW ON OIL. BUT THEIRS STILL NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE THEY CLAIM. AND TO MAKE THINGS WORSE THE SEATBELT SENSOR CAME ON AND STAYS ON A FEW HOURS AFTER I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE FROM THE LAST VISIT TO GET IT CHECKED FOR THIS CRANKING PROBLEM. THIS IS THE WORSE VEHICLE I EVER OWNED. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THE TERRAIN TO ANYONE. OH YEAH, I ALSO BROUGHT IT TOO 2 DIFFERENT GMC/CHEVY DEALERS WITH NO HELP FROM THEM AT ALL. THIS IS THE LAST TIME I'LL BUY A GMC/CHEVY VEHICLE - BUILT VERY POORLY. *TR

CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR ERROR OCCURRED. GMC HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR MODEL YEAR 2011 TERRAINS, BUT NOT 2010. SAME ISSUE IS AFFECTING THAT MODEL YEAR AS WELL. (VOLUNTARY RECALL 11195 & 11195A). *TR
