2011 GMC TERRAIN Electrical System Problems

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2011 GMC Terrain. The contact discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy after the purchase. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 87,000, and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 200,000.

Mileage: 200,000

Ok so my 2011 GMC terrain just went over 150,000 miles I bought this vehicle used from a dealership not knowing that there was a big lawsuit or that GMC continuted making this make and model knowing that it had a oil usage problem. So mmm mmm with that being said let's start with my vehicle uses oil, my vehicle idles high low and always rough at times, my service stabilitrak flashes, my motor sounds like a HEMI kock knock knock instead of a 2.4, doesn't matter where I'm at or where I'm going I let off of the gas and my car dies.... Let me clarify on that last one me and my 9 year old daughter we're headed home today let off the gas to go around a curve and a hill and you guesswd it my 2011 GMC TERRAIN died I lost all control and all power had no power steering and no brakes... I just thank Jesus I wasn't speeding and that there was no oncoming traffic cuz I don't think me nor my 9 year old would have made it out ok. So thanks to whatever faulty motor engine or power train GMC has with this make and model putting people's safety and lives in danger due to these issues and only choosing certain VINS eligible instead of all VINS from 2011 GMC TERRAINS in my opinion is just choosing which owners survive because this make and model is dangerous to whoever drives it and to whoever meets it on the highway.

2011 GMC Terrain SLT The engine blew do to timing Chain breaking and it tore up the injectors as i was looking it up there where lots of people with the same problem and when it blew i was on the Highway and almost wrecked. We put new engine. After putting the engine in the transmission seems like every gear you put it in is like neutral and reeding up on other complaints people are having the same problems it only has 80,000 miles No lights came on or Warnings

I have owned this car for a little over year and have had nothing but issues. The car started on fire with an electrical issues once, the car has just stopped running on me multiple times while I was driving, almost causing a wreck. The engine goes through Oil like crazy. I've had it back to the dealership multiple times and never get a fix. I believe this vehicle is a true lemon.

The failure point was the seal on the sunroof and the sunroof itself. A correct failure mode would be for it to leak into the cabin thus being immediately visable. Instead, an internal seal apparently failed allowing the intruding water to flow unobserved into the bulkhead region between the car body and the internal liner of the vehicle. As a consequence it flowed down a side post exiting into the dashboard and control panel. The dashboard shorted out elliminating the turn signal indicator (and possibly the turn signal itself). The radio and amplifier and the general alarm system went to maximum volume. Fortunately, it did not short out the airbag, thus it did not deploy while I was on the freeway, maybe next time. The salient point is that water was allowed to intrude through the sunroof and able to proceed unobserved to the back of the dashboard. The inside of the car was removed and replaced as was the major components behind the dashboard. The airbags were not replaced.

Oil burning too quickly I recent got an oil change in Aug, checked oil and it was completely dry less then 2 months (oil consumption recall expired) I had same issue in 2017 but my was non operational due to oil consumption problem damaged my engine and dealer couldn't run test so I paid for new engine out of pocket! Second issue shortage in rear passenger lights I've changed bulbs several times now I see there's a shortage definitely.

CURRENT KEY IS 10+ YEARS OLD. STEERING LOCKS UP SOMETIMES AND CANNOT START CAR. IT IS HELL TO UNLOCK STEERING. I ORDERED A NEW KEY BOB ABOUT 5 WEEKS AGO. GMC PARTS SAYS GM HAS NOT SNET NEW KEY BOB YET!!! SO, STEERING MAY LOCK UP AND WITH NO NEW KEY BOB CANNOT DRIVE CAR. SO, I'M SUPPOSE TO PUSH CAR???

CAR RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING IT DOESN'T MATTER IF I AM ON THE HIGHWAY OR DRIVING THROUGH THE CITY, ALSO ENGINE POWER REDUCED MODE. THROWS RANDOM CODES EVEN AFTER CODES HAVE BEEN SERVICED. WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR CLOSE TO 2 YEARS WITH NO RESOLVE. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION WE HAVE FOUND THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT ISSUE.

ENGINE RANDOMLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING AND REFUSES TO START BACK UP. NO CODES ARE BEING PRESENTED WHEN IT DOES STALL. *TR

Mileage: 138,000

SINCE I BOUGHT MY TRUCK I HAVE BEEN HAVING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION I'VE TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP TO GET MY CAR LOOKED AT AND THEY DO NOT RESPOND BACK TO ME I FEEL LIKE THEY ACT AS IF I DID NO BUSINESS WITH THEM ON PURCHASING MY CAR

AFTER DEALING WITH THE REPAIRS ON EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES, MY WARRANTY IS NOW UP AND I AM DEALING WITH MY CAR COMPLETELY DYING AT A MOMENTS NOTICE. THIS IS NOT THE BATTERY AS WE'VE HAD BOTH AAA AND OUR MECHANIC TEST THE BATTERY SEVERAL TIMES - THE ISSUE, ACCORDING TO OUR MECHANIC, IS "COMPUTER FAILURE." ESSENTIALLY, I SPENT $400 FOUR WEEKS AGO FOR MY MECHANIC TO TELL ME THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG EXCEPT THE COMPUTER STOPPED COMMUNICATING TO THE CAR TO "WORK" , AND MY CAR HAS STILL DIED TWICE SINCE...WITH THE KEYS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. TONIGHT IS THE THIRD TIME MY VEHICLE HAS DIED AND IT HAS NOT STARTED UP AGAIN. MY CAR WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND I WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK IT BEFORE THE POWER COMPLETELY DYING. NOW I AM UNABLE TO START OR LOCK THE VEHICLE AGAIN. AND THE KEYS ARE STUCK IN THE IGNITION. I AM STILL PAYING THIS CAR OFF AND IT IS AT 89,000 MILES. I AM BEGINNING TO COME TO TERMS WITH THE FACT THAT THIS IS A COMPLETE LOSS, SINCE NO ONE CAN HELP DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE OR SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO MAKE MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE THAT STALLS OUT EVERY FEW WEEKS. I DRIVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AROUND AND I AM JUST AT A LOSS FOR HOW TO PROCEED.

Mileage: 89,000

MY CAR SHUT OFF ONCE WHILE I WAS IN IDLE AT A RED LIGHT AND SECOND TIME WHEN I WAS BACKING UP INTO A PARKING SPOT SOME ONE WHO WAS DRIVING OPPOSITE ME COULD HAVE HIT ME WHEN THE CAR ABRUPTLY STOPPED. LUCKILY THEY WERE GOING VERY SLOW AND STOPPED WHEN MY CAR STOPPED. THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AS WELL AS THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BUT WHEN YOU PUT IT IN PARK AND START IT UP AGAIN THE ENGINE STARTS BACK UP AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS APPEAR. CAN YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS?

Mileage: 153,000

TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITH NO WARNING, TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACEMENT $3,500 AROUND 120K MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED SUCCESFULLY SINCE 100K MILES. CODE P0420 WITH NO CATALYTIC CONVERTER ISSUES. EVERY O2 SENSOR REPLACED, CODE WILL NOT CLEAR. STALLS WITHOUT ANY WARNING, LOW RPM, ROUGH IDLES, ENGINE JUST SHUTS DOWN. NO DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WHEN FAILURE OCCURS. RESTARTS. OIL MUST BE CHANGED EARLY AS IT SEEMS TO CONSUME TOO MUCH. UNDIAGNOSABLE. HAVE BEEN TOLD BY EVERY MECHANIC IT COULD BE COMPUTER RELATED, TIMING CHAIN RELATED, REGARDLESS THIS 4CYL GMC HAS TOO MANY COMPLAINTS FOR YHEAE ISSUES NOT TO HAVE A RECALL. IT IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS WHEN RANDOM ENGINE FAILURE OCCURS AND I HAVE HAD MORE CLOSE CALLS FEARING FOR MY LIFE IN THIS VEHICLE THAN I CAN RECALL AT THIS POINT. I HAVE SPENT ALMOST THE VALUE OF THIS VEHICLE IN MAJOR REPAIRS IN THE YEAR I HAVE OWNED IT.

Mileage: 120,000

THE AUTOMATIC LIFT GATE WILL OPEN, REACH THE TOP AND THEN AUTOMATICALLY GO DOWN. IT WILL GO HALF WAY , POP BACK OPEN TO THE TOP THEN FULLY SHUT. IT DOES NOT READ THAT SOMETHING IS STOPPING IT FROM CLOSING. THE ENCLAVE, TRAVERSE, ACADIA AND OUTLOOK ARE CURRENTLY UNDER RECALL WITH THE SAME ISSUE BUT NOT THE TERRAIN.

IGNITION COMPLETELY TURNED OFF, I PUSH BUTTON TO TURN ON RADIO AND I HEAR SEVERAL TAP, TAP, TAP, TAP BEHIND MID-DASH RADIO-CD, A.C, HEAT CONTROL UNIT. I'M SURE THE TAP, TAP, TAP, TAP NOISE IS DOOR TO AIR RECIRCULATION/NO RECIRCULATION DOOR THAT SOMEHOW ACTIVATES UNIT ACTUATOR JUST BY TURNING ON RADIO! UNBELIEVABLE! ALSO, WHEN I NEED TO DEFROST WINDSHIELD I TURN TEMP KNOB TO COLD AND THE TAP, TAP, TAP, TAP NOISE HAPPENS! I DO NOT TURN ON A/C COMPRESSOR. AGAIN, UNBELIEVABLE!! THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT FOR SURE. I'M SURE THAT TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THE STEERING WHEEL, DASH MUST BE REMOVED SO TECH,. CAN GAT TO MIS-DESIGNED PARTS. NO CUSTOMER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS KIND OF DESIGN DEFECT. I WANT GMC TO OAY TO SOLVE THEIR DESIGN DEFECT!!! THIS DEFECT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TURN ON RADIO OF DO A COLD DEFROST. PROBLEM HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED OR WHEN NO KEY IN IGNITION.

WHEN PARKING AFTER DRIVING , THE KEY WILL NOT BE RELEASED . YOU MAY HAVE TO TURN THE KEY ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL IT RELEASES. THERE IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH STARTING THE CAR WHERE YOU TURN THE KEY AND THE CAR WILL NOT START. ON OCCASION (NOT EVERY TIME) YOU NEED TO TURN THE KEY ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL IT STARTS. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM- STILL HAPPENING. TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE EVEN THOUGH IT HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES DAILY. *TR

OUR VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED THE ROUGH IDLE AND HARD/STALLED SHIFTING SINCE WE BOUGHT IT IN 2011. IT HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND WE WERE TOLD A RECENT RECALL WOULD FIX THE ISSUE. IT DID NOT AND THESE ISSUES HAVE CONTINUED. RECENTLY, THIS ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN, FOLLOWED BY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNING ON, FOLLOWED BY (A FEW HOURS LATER) THE ENGINE GOING INTO "REDUCED ENGINE MODE" AND THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY WITH THUMPING NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND RESTARTED AND WITHIN A FEW MILES, THIS SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN, WHICH WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO HANDLE AND VERY UNSAFE FOR TRAVEL IN THE CITY. WE HAD TO GET A TOW TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP WE BOUGHT THIS FROM SAYS THE THROTTLE POSITIONS SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDS REPLACED AS WELL AS THERE IS A MISFIRE IN THE INJECTORS DUE TO CARBON BUILDUP IN THE FUEL LINE. NONE OF THESE REPAIRS ARE COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, AND THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. UPON RESEARCH OF THESE PART, SYMPTOMS OF THIS PART GOING OUT ARE STALLED SHIFTING OR HARD SHIFTING, AS WELL AS ROUGH IDLING. PLEASE RESEARCH THIS CASE AS I FEEL THIS IS A MORE UNIVERSAL PROBLEM THAT HAS YET TO BE ADDRESSED PROPERLY. *TR

MY TRUCK EXPERIENCED IT'S FIRST PROBLEM IN AUGUST OF 2011. I HAD ONLY HAD MY TRUCK FOR SIX MONTHS. THE TRUCK WAS ENTERING ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY AND AS I WAS PRESSING THE GAS THE TRUCK BEGIN TO STALL. THE REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK DECELERATES AND CUT OFF. WE WERE BLESSED THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. WE WAITED ABOUT TEN MINUTES, THE TRUCK FINALLY STARTED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND TOOK THE TRUCK IN AS SOON AS I COULD GET AN APPOINTMENT. WAS TOLD THE TRUCK WAS FIXED AND SINCE I HAVE BEEN IN FIVE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FACT THAT THE TRUCK DECELERATES WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY IS ENOUGH THAT I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE THE TRUCK. I HAVE BEEN USING OTHER PEOPLES CARS AND TRUCKS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO PUT MINE ON THE EXPRESSWAY OUT OF OWN. IT IS A DEATH TRAP WAITING TO HAPPEN AND ANYONE DRIVING A TERRAIN SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DID EVERYTHING POSSIBLE AND HAD TO CONTACT MANUFACTURER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THEY COULD NOT NARROW DOWN THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE REPLACED SO MANY PARTS AT THIS POINT I HAVE LOST TRACK OF THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THIS TRUCK IS NOT SAFE AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE CAR STILL IDLES AND SHAKES AND NO ONE PLANS TO FIND OUT WHY AS LONG AS THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON. NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT IS REALLY DISAPPOINTING THAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD RATHER NOT DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM AND WAIT FOR A FATALITY TO OCCUR BEFORE LOOKING INTO. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD LEARN FROM TOYOTA AND TAKE CUSTOMERS LIVES SERIOUSLY. WOULD THEY PUT THERE FAMILIES IN THIS TRUCK ? I JUST WANT THEM TO TAKE THE TRUCK BACK BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO USE MY LIFE AS AN EXAMPLE FOR A DEFECTIVE TRUCK. *TR

THE 4 PHONE SYSTEM DEVELOPED STATIC EITHER BLUETOOTH CONNECTION OR USING THE ONSTAR PHONE SYSTEM. OVER SEVERAL MONTHS I CHANGED PHONES AT LEAST 4 TIMES. THE STATIC GETS PROGESSIVELY WORSE AS SPEED OF THE VEHICLE INCREASE. AT 70 MILES PER HOUR WHEN A CALL IS MADE FROM THE VEHICLE THE PERSON ON THE OTHER END CAN BARELY MAKE OUT WHA THE PERSON IN THE VEHICLE IS SAYING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN TWO SEPARATE DEALERSHIPS. VCIM AND MICROPHONE HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TELLS ME THAT IT IS A TECHNOLOGY ISSUE AND THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. GM DID WORK ON IT RIGHT UP TO THE 36,000MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER. IT WAS THEN THEIR "FIELD ENGINEER" DECLARED THE SYSTEM OPERATED FINE AND THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. SINCE THEN GM REFUSES TO WORK ON IT. THEIR "ENGINEER" MADE 1 PHONE CALL FROM THE CAR FOR LESS THAN 4 MINUTES BUT PUT 86 MILES ON IT AND LEFT IT OUT OF GAS. SITTING STILL THE SYSTEM IS STATIC FREE. MOVING IT IS ALMOST USELESS. THIS IS THE SAFETY ASPECT THAT BOTHERS ME IS WE PURCHASED VEHICLE ($31,000.00) FOR BLUETOOTH HANDSFREE AND ONSTAR BOTH OF WHICH ARE NEARLY USELESS AT SPEED AND GM REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR 1.5 YEARS. I HAVE SPENT COUNTELSS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON DIFFERENT PHONES AND MY TIME TRYING TO GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE IS USELESS AT ANY SPEED. IF THEY ADVERTISE "HANDSFREE AND BLUETOOTH" IT SHOULD WORK. SAFETY WISE THIS IS AN ISSUE BECAUSE MY WIFE HAS TO RESORT TO HOLDING HER PHONE WHILE DRIVING IF SHE WANTS TO BE HEARD. I AM AFRAID THERE IS A MORE SERIOUS ISSUE THAT WILL DISABLE THE ONSTAR IN AN EMERGENCY. THE PUBLIC HAS BEEN SOLD "TECHNOLOGY" BY ALL OF THE AUTOMAKERS. THEY TOUT IT ON TV BUT WHEN IT COMES TO IT THEY WON'T FIX IT WHEN IT BREAKS. *TR
