2011 GMC TERRAIN Engine Problems

We have 2011 GMC Terrain. We bought it used so we have only had it a couple years. We noticed it seemed to be using a little more oil but then we were told to keep watch on it. My husband did. Then one day while I was driving it I thought I had heard a faint clicking noise. I said that car isn’t going anywhere until it’s fixed. Little did we know it wouldn’t ever start again. We didn’t know about a so call recall or not a recall. Still until we had to have it towed in to be fixed, I heard it mentioned. By then the car was repaired at our expense of $8000+. We are retired and don’t have or didn’t have money for that repair. The only reason we had a little money was because my husband got paid for back (lump sum) payment just a couple of days before this. We still owe on the car. Without it we only have an old 2001GMC SIERRA 1500. We live paycheck to paycheck. I called one of GMC’s phone numbers today and I was told if we didn’t have it done at a GMC FACILITY we get NO reimbursement. I cried. My husband is a real stickler when it comes to our vehicles and maintenance and logs and also keeps receipts.Please tell me there is some to help us.

SUV gets a slow down warning and it stops shuts off , it’s happened several times now I’m scared!!you wait few minutes it turns back on , mechanic said this a complain about this vehicle all the time , it has not been repaired I’m disabled with no money , I was on the highway and thank God I was on the slow lane if not I would have been killed by an eighteen wheeler. GMC is waiting for someone to die and probably address this issue

Two of the valves failed and the dealership told me it was likely due to a manufacturer’s defect.

Engine Failure: Timing chain had excessive slack causing guide to be sheared off. Timing chain guide bolt was completely stripped requiring both the timing chain and cylinder head to be replaced. Safety: The vehicle stalled while driving Problem: Problem was confirmed by a dealer Warnings: The check engine light came on as the vehicle stalled

continuous excessive oil issues burns and uses 3-5 quarts of oil every week to 2 weeks causing engine issues slow acceleration lurching and chugging issues with engine won’t downshift or upshift correctly transmission seizing issues have spent 1000s of dollars trying to fix this issue and mechanic has said it’s just a commen issues with this make and model and year range just have to keep pouring oil in each week which is costly and eventually will cause my engine and transmission to fail.

My car wouldn’t start, later found out it was due to timing chain issue which ended up blowing up my engine. I live 40 minutes from work and am consistently driving on the interstate for at least an hour a day. GM said there’s nothing they can do even though there’s been class action lawsuits for the engine. My car has also had oil consumption problems. I bought my car in March of 2022. The engine blew up by November 2022. I barely got my car back in September 2023. After the engine replacement, still wouldn’t turn on, over heated immediately when I did get it back. After paying $7440 for the engine replacement I had to fork over snother $650 to replace the fuel pump control module, and an engine control unit. My car overheated AGAIN just 2 weeks ago!!!!

I was driving my vehicle down the road and the vehicle just shut off. This was dangerous and could have cost my son and I our lives. I have spoken with many mechanics and they state that this car has issues with oil consumption This model vehicle has been reported to have a major oil consumption issues. The oil is dissolved within the engine.

My teenage daughter was driving vehicle home as she was approaching a traffic light Our 2011 GMC Terrain just turned off by itself leaving my daughter strand it in a middle of the road.I had to towed vehicle home called a mechanic to come inspect what had happened just to find out that my vehicle Timing chain had given out just like that. Vehicle was running good didn’t show any symptoms and just like that with no prior warnings it stop working. This vehicle put my daughters life in danger by living her stranded on the middle of a very busy transit road.

Additionally, the ABS, traction control, and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who informed the contact that the ABS module and traction control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

I bought this vehicle and NHTSA made GM release an extended warranty on this vehicle for excessive loss of engine oil. In 2019 I had to take this vehicle and pay several thousand dollars for the pistons to be replaced in my engine because I was 1 year past the extended warranty. Now 3 years after spending thousands of dollars through a certified GM store I am having the same problem excessive loss of engine oil. I have zero leaks and I have to put oil in my engine every other day. If I do not by the end of the week I will have an empty engine.

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.

My wife and I on an Interstate Highway when the Check Engine light came on and the vehicle started slowing down. The message "Engine Power Reduced" came up on the dashboard display. My wife was driving and started pulling off the highway. As we left the driving surface, the car cut off. After a few minutes, the vehicle restarted and we drove home (about 12 miles). We took the vehicle to a mechanic who told us the oil was low. No low oil or low oil pressure lights had illuminated before this incident. He also stated that the timing chain would have to be changed and that this was a recurring problem on the GMC Terrain. I have not had any work done to the vehicle as yet. GMC should have a recall for this problem as I have seen many reports on the internet since it happened to us dating back over ten years.

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.

2011 GMC TERRAIN. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO ENGINE FAILURE. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED. AT THAT TIME, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE CONSUMER TRADED THE VEHICLE IN AT A LOSS OF NEARLY 5,000.00. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE COMPENSATED FOR LOSS DUE TO DISCOVERING A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR THE FAILURE.

Was driving the car and all of a sudden a bunch of lights came on the dash called the dealership where I got it from to get fix and they said sorry they can’t help and then have blocked my number from communication. I can’t drive my car so I don’t know what to do at this point

Was driving home from work had a half tank of gas no lights or anything came on, car just shut off was not able to start it from that point. I spoke with car lot to whom I'm making payments with and not able to get anything done with the vehicle. Now I've lost my job and I'm about to be homeless due to this mechanic problem on this vehicle.

In March of 2019. My 2011 GMC Terrain shut down while I was driving. No warning lights, sounds or any prior problems to indicate that the engine was no longer going to function. It was a miracle I wasn't driving on a multiple highway, which could have resulted in a serious multiple collision with catastrophic results. I had the vehicle towed to a mechanic shop. The engine due to internal oil consumption was replaced. For two and a half years I consistently had required oil changes. Then the exact thing happened again. In December 2021; my 2011 GMC Terrain completely shut down while driving.I again had to have it towed to the same mechanics, and was told the exact same problem occurred internal consumption of burning oil causing timing chain failure. So I had to have yet another engine replaced in this vehicle making it engine #4 in the exact same vehicle. That was completed in Feb. 2022 And I am currently having to go back to the lube place, and have them add one and a half to two quarts of oil every two weeks. Because it is consuming oil.!!!!!! I am filing a complaint because this to be addressed in having a recall; too get these vehicles off the road. A liability civil suit. A refund for my engine repairs. This vehicle is worthless!!!!! I can't even ethically sell or trade it in. Thank you Engine was replaced.

The 2.4l ecotec motor has had so many complaints not only for gmc terrain but also the Chevy equinox. The motor just stops and lose everything while driving! I was in traffic and it stop almost causing an accountant God I wasn't hurt! Now I have this car with a blown motor because it's a no tolerance motor. We spend so much money on these vehicles and spend so much to keep them safe for driving on the road and yet when it comes to the company cutting corners to save money they don't get faulted for putting faulty equipment in these vehicles. I have a 2011 terrain and I bought it in 2019 for 9000 and drove it a month before the motor blew it has less then 100000 miles on it and for me to get a new motor it's another 5000. I just don't understand why if the equipment is faulty and so many complaints have been posted about the same issue why it's not being recalled or why we can't get the company to give us new motors or a new car! We are expected to pay insurance registration inspections test every year and pay for the normal wear on the vehicles to make sure they are safe but they can't recall faulty parts! I foster children and can't afford to make expensive purchases that weren't caused by neglect on my part

Engine has had High Oil consumption for years I been changing oil every 1500 to 2000 miles, My GMC dealer nor did GMC inform me that there is an issue with this vehicle even when i had an extended warranty and the car has been in for service many times at my local dealership for it. now it will cost as much as a new engine to fix. GMC needs to make there products better and honor there mistakes,

The contact owns a 2011 GMC Terrain. The contact stated that while idled, there was smoke coming from under the hood of the vehicle. The contact turned off the vehicle and the smoke dissipated. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who stated that the the timing chain had come to the head without much heat. The timing chain needed to be repaired. The vehicle had not been repaired as of yet. The contact had not contacted the manufacturer. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000.

My car is burning oil between oil changes. Oil changed regularly every 3,000 miles for the past 11 years. Worried about motor blowing up and being stranded somewhere due to the oil consumption.Oil life still showing 42% on panel and burnt oil on the crossing part on oil stick only.. Contacted Dealership about a Class Action Settlement which I was unaware of cause I didn't get a notice of settlement it was to late and expired..told me my warranty for this was over and they couldn't help me unless I pay 3,500.00 for new piston's. No warning light nor messages, car over heated and engine smoking..Had to put more oil in to get by..6 months ago when it all started.

Uncertain. Engine power is reduced stall while driving common issues I’ve read about is throttle body and it’s sensor

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 timing chain is run by oil pressure. This engine burns so much oil that I have put in 6quarts in 1 month. If not continually checking and adding oil the vehicle stalls in traffic.

The original Engine blew a piston rod and cracked my engine in the middle of the freeway , had to have vehicle towed to a shop and whole engine replaced with a new one. This could have caused a huge accident or even caught fire. I had no previous issue or light on the engine prior to this happening. Oil had been changer regularly , Tune ups, and any additional required maintenance, The Manufacturer has not wanted to take any responsibility or assist in compensating any of the cost . I have been fighting this for well over 2 years

The contact owns a 2011 GMC Terrain. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 MPH, the stability track control warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle jerked and hesitated. The contact was able to coast to the side of the road and the vehicle stalled. The contact attempted to restart the vehicle 2-3 times before being able to proceed driving. The contact stated that while stopped at the next traffic light, the vehicle stalled again. The vehicle was restarted however, while driving the vehicle failed to exceed 40 MPH. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who stated that the spark plug and coil needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure persisted. The contact took the vehicle to another certified mechanic who diagnosed that the spark plugs needed to be replaced because sensors within the vehicle, due to the excessive oil consumption, were clogging up the pistons. The vehicle was repaired however the failure persisted. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The contact was referred to the dealer for assistance and a case was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 170,000.

Purchased this vehicle in November 2020 and 7 months later was coming home from a trip, there was a ticking noise got louder and faster and then a pop. Took vehicle to a mechanic spun bearings and rods and crankcase was completely dry There were no leaks or evidence of oil These vehicles are known to have excessive oil consumption. I believe that the blown engine was a direct result of oil consumption

Vehicle has been burning up to 3 quarts of oil every 1,500 miles. This has been an ongoing issue for years. In 2020 a GM dealer serviced/repaired the vehicle to correct the issue; the vehicle only had approximately 60,000 miles at the time. The issue returned around 20,000 miles after the repair. Neither an instrument panel light nor a OBDII code appears when the oil is low. When the oil is low the vehicle stalls when making a turn and also jitters and jerks while idling. I am put in a dangerous situation when the vehicle stalls (especially on the freeway service roads).

Timing chain either broke or jumped track while driving and car shut off while vehicle was in motion. Had to have it towed home and will not start ever since. I hear alot of complaint with this type of motor with oil use and timing with results of destroying engine completely and not having money to fix after paying alot of money for this vehicle. GM needs to take responsibility for their faulty 2.4l ecotec motor and issue a recall to those affected by this faulty engine. I was driving a busy street in my home town when the car just shut off while in motion. Lost all power to the vehicle and could have crashed or been hit or worse been seriously injured or fatally injured. Please take responsibility and fix the problems created by faulty equipment! I had purchased from used lot and broke down same month I bought it and has been sitting outside my house ever since over a year

The engine locked up while driving on the interstate rendering it inoperable and undrivable. There were no warning signs (ie. leaks, noises, overheating, etc.). The vehicle now needs an entirely new or used engine and is unrepairable.

Service stabilitrak pops up, engine goes into reduced power mode. Third time happening and dealership has done nothing to fix it besides charge me money. Car has 96k miles at this point and I’ve spent more money to fix it than it’s worth.

DUE TO A FAULTY PCV DESIGN MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A REAR MAIN SEAL FAILURE. IT WAS EXTERNALLY COLD. THE SAME AS IN BULLETIN 14882. GMC STATES THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED.

MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN HAVING TO COMMON OIL CONSUMPTION MEANING I CHECKED THE OIL EVERY TIME I GOT FUEL. THIS LAST TIME I WENT TO CHECK THE OIL LEVEL THE DIPSTICK WAS UNDER SO MUCH PRESSURE IT SHOT TWENTY FEET INTO THE AIR WHEN THE HOOD OPENED. I THEN DROVE THE VEHICLE FROM THE GAS STATION BACK HOME AND THIS TIME TOOK THE OIL FILL CAP OFF AND WHEN I TURNED THE CAP A QUARTER TURN IT BLEW OFF INTO THE AIR FOLLOWED BY BURNING HOT OIL DROPLETS AND STEAM. WHEN I RUN THE VEHICLE FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME THE OIL DRAIN BACK SYSTEM BUILDS MORE PRESSURE THEN THE COOLING SYSTEM EVENTUALLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL UNDER LOAD SUCH AS WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. WHEN THE VEHICLE DOES STALL IT WILL TAKE FROM 2-10 MINUETS TO RESTART.

ON 08/05/2020 I WAS SOLD THIS VEHICLE WITH A CRACKED MANIFOLD. UPON REPLACEMENT OF THE MANIFOLD IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT TWO MANIFOLD BOLTS WERE SEARED ON THE ENGINE BLOCK SIDE. AFTER CONSULTING MY MECHANIC AND ANOTHER, I WAS ADVISED THAT 1) TO REPAIR THE ENGINE HAS TO BE LIFTED AS THE SPACE BETWEEN THE FIREWALL AND THE ENGINE IS TOO SMALL TO MAKE REPAIRS WITHOUT LIFTING THE ENGINE ( MANUFACTURE DEFECT) . FURTHER, IT WAS ADVISED TO ME THAT COMPLETELY SEALING THE MANIFOLD COULD LEAD TO A FIRE IN THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER BECAUSE ' THESE ENGINES RUN HOT'. AS I EXPRESSED THAT THIS VEHICLES 'ANTIFREEZE' LEVEL IS NOT STABLE AS I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH OTHER VEHICLES. IN OTHER WORDS THIS VEHICLE BURNS UP ANTIFREEZE QUICKER THAN I'VE SEEN OCCUR IN OTHER VEHICLES. AFTER RESEARCHING THE TOPIC IT WAS DISCOVERED BY CONSUMER REPORTS THAT THESE VEHICLES HAVE MAJOR DEFECTIVE ENGINES WITH REPAIRS TO MANIFOLD BEING NOTORIOUS. AND TO HAVE TO HAVE THE ENGINE LIFTED EACH TIME IS UNREASONABLY COSTLY. AND I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IF A DEFECTIVE ENGINE RUNS HOT AND THERE'S A RISK OF FIRE. THIS IS EXACERBATED BY THE FACT OF THE TINY SPACE BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND FIREWALL WITHIN THE VEHICLE.

PROVEN OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM ON MY CAR AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS LEADING TO A CLASS ACT WHICH HAS FAILED JUST ABOUT EVERYONE. CAR IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND THESE CARS REQUIRE A NEW ENGINE AMONG OTHER FIXES IN ORDER TO AVOID THE ENGINE BLOWING. MY ENGINE BLEW ON THE HIGHWAY WITH NO WARNING DESPITE REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE. THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED BY GM AND THEY ARE STILL NEGLIGENT TO THE ISSUE. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY GOING AROUND 70 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE BLEW. THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE AN OIL LIGHT SIGNIFYING LOW OIL WHICH DID NOT GO OFF AS WELL AS DOING 3 OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS MANDATED BY GM IN ORDER FOR THEM TO DO ANY REPAIRS. ALL WERE FAILED TESTS AND GM STILL PUSHED FOR MORE TESTS THAT REQUIRED ME TO KEEP DRIVING IT. DESPITE THE FAILED TESTS THEY STILL FOUGHT IT AND THE ENGINE BLEW OVER THIS TIME.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MARCH 2018. FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE, THE SERVICE ENGINE AND/OR CHANGE OIL LIGHTS WOULD TURN ON. EVERY TIME I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC, IT NEEDED OIL. IN JANUARY 2020, I GOT A NOTICE FROM GMC ABOUT THE SETTLEMENT OF A LAWSUIT REGARDING VEHICLE OIL CONSUMPTION. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL GMC AND THE MANAGER READ THE "NOTICE OF APPROVAL OF CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT AND CLAIM FORM" THAT WAS SENT TO ME. THE LAWSUIT REQUIRES GMC TO PAY FOR REPAIRS OR REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS FOR THE REPAIRS. MY VEHICLE HAD NOT HAD THE NECESSARY REPAIRS DONE TO IT, SO THE MANAGER INSTRUCTED ME TO APPROVE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS AND PAY FOR THEM OUT OF POCKET BECAUSE GMC WOULD REIMBURSE ME. THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED ON FEBRUARY 7, 2020. I FOLLOWED ALL THE GUIDELINES PROVIDED TO ME BY GMC IN ORDER TO GET THE REIMBURSEMENT. I MAILED DOCUMENTS TO THEM A WEEK AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED, MONTHS BEFORE THE DEADLINE OF MAY 16, 2020. AFTER WAITING OVER A MONTH AND NOT GETTING REIMBURSED, I CALLED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICES (1-866-790-5600) ON APRIL 11, 2020. I WAS INFORMED BY GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE TO EXPECT A REIMBURSEMENT CHECK FOR REPAIRS AND RENTAL CAR FEES WITHIN TWO WEEKS. AFTER NOT RECEIVING THE REIMBURSEMENT, I CALLED AGAIN IN JUNE AND JULY 2020 AND GIVEN THE SAME INFORMATION-WAIT. THIS CONTINUED THROUGHOUT THE SUMMER. THE DELAY WAS BLAMED ON COVID-19. I CALLED AGAIN IN LATE SEPTEMBER 2020, AND THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO EMAIL ALL THE DOCUMENTS AND THAT THE CHECK WOULD ARRIVE IN TWO WEEKS. ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2020, I EMAILED ALL THE DOCUMENTS TO GMC. AFTER WAITING ANOTHER TWO WEEKS, I CALLED THEM AND THEY AGAIN SAID IT WOULD COME IN TWO WEEKS. ON NOVEMBER 10, 2020, I SENT ANOTHER EMAIL ASKING FOR THE REIMBURSEMENT CHECK. A WEEK LATER, I GOT A LETTER STATING I DID NOT QUALIFY FOR REIMBURSEMENT BECAUSE THE TIME HAD PASSED/EXPIRED.

MOTOR STARTED KNOCKING LOUDER AND LOUDER AT 85,000 MILES. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO A GM DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED; TIMING CHAIN, BALANCE CHAIN, TENSIONER, AND VALVES. GM ONLY CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE TIMING CHAIN, THOUGH THAT PART BREAKING CAUSED FAR MORE DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR.

"EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION" AFTER HAVING THE OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS PERFORMED ON MY TRUCK IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT MY VEHICLE NEEDED THE RINGS AND PISTONS REPLACED, THEREFORE, ON JANUARY 18TH, 2016 MY TRUCK WENT INTO ROGERS CHEVROLET (NOW KNOWN AS MICHAEL BATES) TO HAVE THIS DONE, UNDER THE SPECIAL WARRANTY KNOWN AS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I RECEIVED MY TRUCK BACK ON JANUARY 25TH, 2016 AFTER BEING TOLD IT WAS FIXED. ONCE MY FREE OIL CHANGES WERE UP IN MARCH OF 2016, I EITHER TOOK MY TRUCK FOR OIL CHANGES OR MY UNCLE, GRANDFATHER OR MYSELF CONDUCTED THE OIL CHANGES (YOU WILL SEE THE RECEIPTS ON THIS). AFTER SOME TIME I STARTED TO USE OIL AGAIN, MORE THAN NORMAL. WHEN I INQUIRED WITH ROGERS CHEVROLET I WAS TOLD THAT MY TRUCK SHOULD BE FINE BECAUSE THEY ALREADY REPLACED THE PISTONS AND RINGS AND THAT MY ENGINE IS JUST GOING TO BURN OIL BECAUSE THE WAY GM BUILT THE MOTOR AND TO KEEP EXTRA OIL ON HAND. WELL ON 01/30/2019 I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY DOING AROUND 75MPH WHEN MY ENGINE FAILED. I ALMOST WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE 3 LANE HIGHWAY! I WAS ADVISED TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A NEARBY DEALER IN WHICH I DID.

AFTER MY RESEARCH THIS WAS THE BEGINNING STAGES OF THIS RECALL. I CALLED, GMC JAMES RIVARD AND MENTIONED THIS RECALL ASKING THEM TO FIX IT. THERE WAS ONLY AT 98K MILES AND IT HAD BEEN LESS THAN 7 YEARS. THEY LATER SAID THEY HAD TO REPLACE A CAP THAT WORE OUT, BUT CHARGED ME 129. I REALIZED THEY HAD TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME BY CHARGING ME SIMPLY FOR CLEANING UP THE OIL AND PUTTING MORE IN. NOTHING ON THE RECIEPT MENTIONS A REPLACEMENT CAP. THROUGH THE YEARS MY HUSBAND AND I STARTED TO NOTICED MORE ISSUES, STABILTRAK WARNINGS, LOW ACCELERATION, OIL CHANGES NOT LASTING MORE THEN 2.5 TO 3 MONTHS. WE CALLED IN AUGUST 2018 AND WAS TOLD I COULD BRING IT IN, BUT WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE 125 IF THEY DECIDED IT WAS NOT THE RECALL. THIS WAS THE ISSUE PREVIOUSLY! SINCE WE'VE PAID OFF THE CAR IN SEPTEMBER 2018, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE CAR STOPPING IN WHILE IN DRIVE WHEN PRESSING THE BREAK, 'LOW ENGINE POWER' WARNINGS, ALONG WITH THE STABILTRAK WARNINGS, AND FREQUENTLY WANTS TO STOP WHEN MAKING HARD LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS ON STREETS. WE TOOK TO A LOCAL MECHANIC LAST WEEK AND WAS INFORMED THE CARS OIL WAS COMPLETELY (GONE FOR THE 3RD TIME, THE OIL LIFE IN MY CAR WAS AT 27%). WITH SEVERAL OTHERS, THEY INFORMED THIS COULD BE DUE TO PISTON RINGS BEING WORN OUT. I IMMEDIATELY RECALLED THE INCIDENT IN 2016 AND CALLED THE GMC RECALL CENTER. THEY REFUSED TO MAKE THE DEALER HONOR THIS RECALL, SINCE IT EXPIRED IN SEPTEMBER 2018... COINCIDENTALLY WHEN I PAID OFF MY CAR. I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THIS ISSUE WHEN I ASKED!

GOD FORBID MY CHILDREN WERE IN THIS CAR WHEN THIS CAR DECIDED TO CUT OFF AND HE HAD NO BRAKES NO STEERING NOTHING. NISSAN IN HAZLETON WAS AWARE OF THIS AND I CAN'T EVEN USE MY WARRANTY THAT THEY SIGNED AND I SIGNED. I WAS PROMISED SOMETHING THAT I CANNOT USE. GMC HAD A CALL FROM US AROUND 73000 MILES AND I TOLD THEM IT WAS CLICKING AND STALLING.

VEHICLE CONSUMES 2 QUARTS OF ALL EVERY 1500 MILES ONLY HAD THE TRUCK FORA YEAR AND A HALF. ALSO IT HAS THIS TERRIBLE RATTLING NOISE.

VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE AFTER PULLING OFF THE HIGHWAY ONTO A BUSY CITY ROAD. THE CAUSE WAS OIL SPILLING ONTO THE HOT EXHAUST AFTER CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE WHEN THE PISTON RODS WENT THROUGH THE SIDE OF THE BLOCK. A BYSTANDER HAD A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT IN THE ENGINE BAY, AFTER I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS ACCORDING TO OUR INSURANCE COMPANY, BUT WE HAVE A CLAIM ON OUR RECORD WITH INSURANCE GOING UP SINCE GM WOULD NOT COVER THE CLAIM BECAUSE THE MILEAGE WAS OVER 100,000 MILES EVEN THOUGH THIS OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE WAS PRESENT WELL BEFORE 100,000 MILES. SOMETIME PRIOR TO THIS THE DEALER PERFORMED A PISTON REBUILD FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. AFTER THE REPAIR THE VEHICLE MADE A KNOCKING NOISE ON START UP. THE DEALER PASSED THIS OFF AND WE WERE TOLD NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT. WE PRESSED THE ISSUE A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THE ANSWER WAS THE SAME, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, IT WILL GO AWAY. THIS IS JUST UNACCEPTABLE AND DANGEROUS TO THE OWNERS OF THIS ENGINE.

I TOWED THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND DESCRIBED WHAT HAPPENED. HE TOLD ME THAT THEIR WAS AN INTERNAL ENGINE FAILURE THAT CAUSED THE TIMING BELT TO BREAK. I CALLED MY INSURANCE AND THEY HAD A FIELD ADJUSTER LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND HE NOR THE MECHANIC COULD FIGURE OUT WHY OR HOW THIS HAPPENED ON SUCH A WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE. THEY BOTH STATED THAT THERE IS NO WAY THAT I SHOULD HAVE HAD 2 MAJOR SYSTEM FAILURES (I JUST REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION) WITH THE CURRENT VEHICLE MILEAGE. I CALLED GMC AND THEY WILL NOT SO ANYTHING TO HELP ME. THEIR ONLY SOLUTION IS FOR ME TO TOW IT TO A GMC DEALERSHIP AND THEY WILL LOOK AT IT.

AS I READ THROUGH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ARE NOT MORE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. I LOVE THE CAR ITSELF BUT AFTER ONLY HAVING THE CAR FOR 15 MONTHS THE MOTOR COMPLETELY FAILED WITH NO WARNING. OUR TERRAIN HAS THE 3.0 ENGINE BUT THERE IS AN EXTENSION OF WARRANTY ON THE 2.4 ENGINE. HOWEVER THE COMPLAINTS ON THE 2.4 MOTOR MIRRORS WHAT HAPPENED TO US. WE HAD FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED A FEW MONTHS AGO AND OIL CHANGED AT THAT TIME. THE NIGHT THE ENGINE DIED IT HAD MADE SOME STRANGE NOISES BUT NO HESITATION AND NO WARNING LIGHTS. NOT EVEN A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS LOW. THERE IS NO WAY IT COULD HAVE BEEN LOW. HE ADDED SOME BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE ARE CONDITIONED TO DO BUT IT NEVER WOULD REGISTER ON THE DIPSTICK. WE DROVE 1/2 MILE AND THE WITHOUT WARNING; NO NOISES OR WARNING LIGHTS THE CAR DIED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. THANKFULLY MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO PUSH ME IN THE CAR TO SAFETY BUT THE CAR NEVER RESTARTED. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WE PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEY SAID THE MOTOR SEIZED UP BUT ARE UNABLE TO TELL US WHY UNLESS WE PAY FOR THEM TO TAKE THE MOTOR APART. THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND ANY ERROR CODES. THEY ARE TELLING US WE NEED A NEW MOTOR COSTING $7400 TO PURCHASE AND PUT IN. THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. WE ONLY BOUGHT THE VEHICLE 15 MONTHS AGO SO WE HAVEN'T HAD IT LONG; WE BOUGHT IT USED. MAKES NO SENSE BUT DOES SOUND LIKE THE STORIES ON THE 2.4 MOTORS. WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO TAKE NOTICE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE GMC MOTORS WHETHER IT IS THE 2.4 OR THE 3.0 ENGINES. DOES IT TAKE SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BEFORE GMC ADMITS THERE IS A PROBLEM??????

SO THEY FIXED IT OR AT LEAST THEY SAID IT WAS , SO WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON SO I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND CATALYTIC CONVERT .

A FEW DAYS AFTER THAT I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND WENT TO ACCELERATE AND MY CARE SHUT OFF. THIS THEN HAPPENED THE NEXT DAY AFTER I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND LATER THE SAME DAY WHEN I WENT TO PARK MY CAR ON THE STREET.

AND IMMEDIATELY SLOWS THE VEHICLE TO A SPEED OF 10 MPHS. AS WELL AS LOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL. UNBELIEVABLY DANGEROUS. IVE PERSONALLY READ ALMOST 100 CASES OF THE SAME THING ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY. ALL WITH THIS SAME VEHICLE. ITS A MIRACLE NOBODY WAS KILLED. NOW FOR MY POINT. WHAT ARE YOU AND GMC DOING WAITING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. ARE YOU WAITING FOR SOMWONE TO LOSE THERE LIFE. AS A PARENT MYSELF THIS IS VERY TROUBLEING.IF ME OR MY FAMILY IS TO BE HARMED BECAUSE OF SOMWONE ELSES NEGLEGENCE WOULD BE A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. SOMEONE NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. IVE READ THE REPORTS I HAVE READ THESE PEOPLES PLEAS. AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT

I WAS AT A BUSY INTERSECTION WITH MY 19 MONTH OLD SON AT 5:00PM ON FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 2015 WHEN MY CAR JUST DIED ON ME. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO A NON GMC SERVICE STATION, THEY INFORMED ME THAT I HAD NO OIL IN MY CAR. I WAS TAKEN BACK BY THIS BECAUSE IT HAD NOT EVEN BEEN 1500 MILES SINCE MY LAST OIL CHANGE AND I HAD NO WARNING AT ALL, MY OIL LIGHT OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON IN MY CAR BEFORE IT DIED. I HAVE BEEN MORE THAN UP TO DATE ON EVERY OIL CHANGE SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR IN SEPTEMBER OF 2013. DUE TO NO OIL IN MY CAR, THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE RESULTING IN ME HAVING TO REPLACE THE ENGINE IN MY CAR. GMC INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS NOT A RECALL AND IT SHOULD BE!!! THIS IS COMPLETELY DANGEROUS AND GMC WILL NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR THE ENGINE THAT I HAVE TO PUT IN MY CAR EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS NOT CAUSED BY ME. *TR

DURING A NORMAL COMMUTE ON ROUTE ON 2/15 RECEIVED ABOUT 3 MILES INTO THE DRIVE RECEIVED A WARNING ERROR - LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CAR STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY AND RECEIVED A STABILITITRAK ERROR. THE CAR WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PLACED IN NEUTRAL. THE SHAKING BECAME WORSE AND THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF. AFTER TWO MINUTES THE CAR WAS STARTED AGAIN, WITH NO ISSUES AND WAS DRIVEN 6 MORE MILES WITHOUT ISSUE. AFTER 6 MILES OF DRIVING THE SAME ENGINE POWER WARNING AND STABILITRACK ERROR CAME BACK. THE CAR WAS VIOLENTLY SHAKING AND THE DRIVER SHUT IT OFF. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP RECEIVED ONE CODE FOR THE THROTTLE SENSOR POSITIONER. THE CODE WAS RESET AND A LOOSE CONNECTION WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE FAULT AND RETURNED TO OWNER. FIVE DAYS LATER THE CAR WAS STARTED IN THE GARAGE. UPON STARTUP IT STARTED AGAIN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE CAR WAS PUT IN REVERSE AND BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND THE DRIVER RECEIVED A STABILITRAK WARNING LIGHT. THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF AND WAS AGAIN TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND TWO CODES CRANK POSITION SENSOR AND MISFIRE. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN FIVE MILES WITH NO ISSUES. THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT LOCATE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THIS UNDIAGNOSED ISSUE POSSES A SEVERE SAFETY RISK TO THE OWNER OF THE CAR AND FAMILY IF IT WERE TO OCCUR AGAIN WHILE DRIVING IN CONGESTED TRAFFIC OR ON A HIGHWAY. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND STARTING VIBRATING AND OPERATING ROUGHLY. THE STABILITRAK/REDUCED ENGINE POWER TROUBLE LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED. THIS CERTAINLY BECAME AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE VEHICLE COULD ONLY ACCELERATE TO 15 TO 30 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO MANAGE THE PROBLEM LONG ENOUGH TO RETURN HOME, WHICH WAS ONLY A FEW MILES AWAY FROM THE ONSET. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD PERFORMED THE REQUIRED SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ON THIS VEHICLE. HOWEVER, SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2011 AND EXPERIENCING MULTIPLE RECALLS AND A AIR BAG SAFETY ISSUE AND NOW THIS, I HAVE BECOME CONCERNED ABOUT THE RELIABILITY AND SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 61,000 MILES ON IT AND SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. I BELIEVE GMC CORPORATION SHOULD MAKE A CONCERTED EFFORT TO RECALL ANY OF THEIR VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST POWER. THE REDUCED POWER AND CHECK STABILITRAK MESSAGES APPEARED ON THE SCREEN. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. I IMMEDIATELY TRIED STARTING THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND IT DID, SO WENT ON MY WAY. GOT DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT THREE MILES AND THE SAME THING, SO PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE, BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE, EVERYTHING WAS DEAD. I WAITED SEVERAL MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN AND IT STARTED. I CONTINUED ON MY WAY AND DIDN'T HAVE ANYMORE TROUBLE GETTING TO MY DESTINATION. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED EXCEPT WHEN I TRIED TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF, IT CONTINUED TO RUN VERY ROUGHLY AND THEN FINALLY SHUT OFF. IT DID START AGAIN AND HAD THE ENGINE LIGHT ON. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL GMC DEALER WHEN THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED, HOWEVER WHEN THEY TRIED TO READ THE CODES, THERE WERE NO CODES TO READ EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE. I WAS DOWN THE TO DEALER AGAIN TODAY WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT ON AGAIN, BUT BEFORE THEY COULD CHECK IT OUT, THE ENGINE LIGHT HAD GONE OUT. TO ME THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM AS IT CAN VERY EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. SO FAR I'VE BEEN LUCKY THAT I HAVEN'T LOST THE POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE STALLED FROM 35-40 MPH TO 5 MPH. A MESSAGE CAME ON THE SCREEN " ENGINE POWER REDUCED". HAD I BEEN ON HIGHWAY THAT WOULD BE ENDED IN ACCIDENT. CONTACTED GM AND EVERYONE I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO THEM SEEMS TO BE READING A SCRIPT TO ME. *TR

I HAD OIL CHANGED THAT MORNING. THAT NIGHT, WHILE DRIVING, "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" AND "SERVICE STABILITRAC" LIGHTS CAME ON AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 15 MPH. I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN. IT WAS FINE UNTIL THE NEXT DAY WHEN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN ONE WEEK AND HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES EVERYDAY SINCE. I READ MANY COMPLAINTS ON-LINE ADDRESSING THIS SAME ISSUE AND STATING THAT IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THE DIAGNOSTIC SAID THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS REPLACED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! IMAGINE TRAVELING 70 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY, AND YOU LOSE POWER TO YOUR ENGINE! THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN! *TR

Mileage: 69,000

WE WERE DRIVING TOWARDS A STOP SIGN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AND SLOWED DOWN ON ITS OWN, THE DASHBOARD READ STABILITRAK OFF, ENGINE POWER REDUCED, AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE COULD BARELY DRIVE THE CAR, SO PARKED AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE PROBLEM STOPPED, BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP TO RUN THE COMPUTER AND IT REPORTS THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDS REPLACING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH CHEVY AND GMC CARS (MANY REPORTS ON CHEVY AND GMC FORUMS AND OTHER WEBSITES, AND MY MECHANIC SAID IT WAS COMMON AS WELL) AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE PEOPLE SERIOUSLY GET INJURED. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST WEEK MY CAR IS STALLING. IT HAPPENS IF I AM AT A STOPLIGHT, DON'T GET UP TO SPEED FAST ENOUGH, ETC. THE M AS MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF SIMILAR ISSUES AND THIS SHOULD BE HANDLED BY GMC. *TR

I HAVE TAKEN MY TERRAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP A COUNTLESS NUMBER OF TIMES FOR VARIOUS REPAIRS. THE LATEST ISSUE IS THE "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED!" NOTIFICATION. WHILE I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP, I HEARD AN EXTREMELY LOUD RATTLING NOISE COME FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF MY CAR. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF TO SEE IF THE NOISE WOULD STOP. TO MY SURPRISE THE CAR DID NOT IMMEDIATELY RESTART. AFTER TURNING THE KEY SEVERAL TIMES THE CAR STARTED BUT WITH AN EVEN LOUDER RATTLING NOISE. I TRIED TO LATER TAKE THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC ONLY TO FIND THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT CRANK AGAIN. AFTER REPEATEDLY TRYING TO CRANK THE CAR, IT FINALLY STARTED. I WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE FASTER THAN 15 MILES PER HOUR. I LATER FOUND OUT THAT I NEEDED MUCH MORE THAN A CATALYTIC CONVERTER (GMC DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THIS MAY BE THE ISSUE), INSTEAD I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE THAT MAY NOT BE COVERED ALTHOUGH I WAS STILL WITHIN MY FACTORY WARRANTY. THIS CAR IS HORRIBLE STAY FAR, FAR AWAY... *TR

WELL IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON HERE ABOUT THE 2011 TERRAIN STALLING. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING TO ME OFF AND ON THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS. I WOULD BE IN TRAFFIC AND IT WOULD STALL, I WOULD BE AT A STOP LIGHT AND IT WOULD STALL, I WOULD GO TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND IT WOULD STALL. I TOOK IT IN AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. WELL LAST NIGHT IT FINALLY DIED. GREAT!! I HEARD NOISE WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE THAT SOUNDED LIKE PLASTIC WATER BOTTLES RUBBING TOGETHER. I HAD A BAG IN MY FRONT SEAT SO ASSUMED IT WAS NOTHING. IT BUCKED FORWARD AS I PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND STALLED. WELL...THE STALLING I'D BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO SO I RE-STARTED. IT SEEMED FINE UNTIL I WENT TO ACCELERATE ONTO THE MAIN ROAD...IT BUCKED, STARTED SHUTTERING, AND WOULDN'T GO ABOVE 5 MPH. I BARELY GOT IT INTO A PARKING LOT BEFORE IT DIED. I COUNTED NO LESS THAN 5 SIMILAR REPORTS ON HERE. I LIVE IN THE METRO DETROIT AREA...HAD THIS HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY OR DURING RUSH HOUR, I COULD'VE BEEN KILLED. SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE GMC HAS YET ANOTHER SCANDAL ON THEIR HANDS OR HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE HURT, MAIMED, OR KILLED BEFORE NHTSA GETS INVOLVED?? *TR

2011 GMC TERRAIN. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE PROBLEMS AND SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES WITH VEHICLE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DISTRICT MANAGER OF GM REFUSED TO ALLOW THE DEALER TO CHECK THE ECM/ECU AND OTHER APPROPRIATE SYSTEMS, TO MAKE SURE ALL THE ENGINE SETTINGS WERE AS THEY SHOULD BE, SINCE HE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL STRANGE EVENTS, SUCH AS THE SHIFTER HANGING IN D SOMETIMES AS HE TRIED TO MOVE TO PARK, VERY LOW MPG FOR SEVERAL DAYS 24-25 MPG, WHEN HE USUALLY GOT 28-33 MPG. THE OIL PERCENT METER USED TO BE AT 95%. THE ENGINE WOULD REV TO 7K-8K RPM WHEN THE FIRST STARTED AND HELD 2-3 SECONDS. SOMETIMES THE ENGINE REVVED TO 1600-1800 RPM AND THE VEHICLE WOULD ALMOST STALL, AND SOMETIMES THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SOON AFTER, THE FAN BELT BEGAN TO SQUEAL. THE SQUEALING BEGAN, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED OR WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WITH THE AC ON, AND GOING UP SOME SLOPPED HIGHWAYS, ROADS AND STREETS. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BELT. IN THE SUMMER OF 2011, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED THE ENGINE WOULD MAKE A CHATTERING-TAPPING METAL-TO-METAL SOUND, AS IT THERE WERE NO OIL IN THE ENGINE. THE PROBLEM WOULD OCCUR WITH A COLD OR HOT ENGINE. THE PROBLEM STOPPED AFTER P0011 ERROR SOLENOID WAS REPLACED.

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

ABOUT A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THIS BRAND NEW VEHICLE, THERE WERE SEVERAL TIMES THAT AFTER STARTING THE CAR & PUTTING IT INTO GEAR, IT STALLED. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN TIMES THAT AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A WHILE & COMING TO A STOP SIGN, THEN GETTING READY TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC, IT EITHER STALLS OR HESITATES. THERE WERE A FEW CLOSE CALLS WHERE THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. TAKING THIS TO THE DEALER DID NOTHING. THEY SAID THEY HAVE HEARD OF THIS BEFORE, BUT UNLESS IT DID IT AT THEIR DEALERSHIP, THEY COULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. ANOTHER ISSUE I HAVE HAD IS THAT MANY TIMES THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SHIFT PROPERLY & IT REVS UP MORE THAN IT SHOULD BEFORE ACTUALLY SHIFTING & WHEN IT DOES, THERE IS A MAJOR CLUNK. I HAVE OWNED MANY CARS IN MY LIFETIME, THIS CAR ALWAYS ON STARTUP, MAKES A TERRIBLE NOISE AT FIRST WHICH TO ME SOUNDS LIKE IT'S NOT GETTING ANY OIL OR THAT THE BEARINGS HAVE A PROBLEM. THAT NOISE GOES AWAY AFTER A FEW SECONDS. ANOTHER ISSUE I HAVE, AS DO ALL OTHER TERRAIN OWNERS, IS THAT THE STICKER ON THE WINDOW FROM GM WHEN BUYING THIS CAR, STATED THAT THIS CAR WOULD GET 23 MPG CITY, & 32 MPG HIGHWAY. MOST ALL MY MILES ARE HIGHWAY MILES, & THE MOST I EVER GET IS 22 MPG. THIS WAS THE MAIN REASON FOR BUYING THIS CAR IN THE FIRST PLACE. I THINK GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS GROSSLY MIS-REPRESENTATION OF WHAT I WOULD BE GETTING FOR GAS MILEAGE. I AM NOT THAT WEALTHY WHERE I CAN JUST GO OUT & BUY A NEW CAR EVERY YEAR, BUT AM FEARFUL THAT WITH THE CAR STALLING OUT WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE, THAT I MAY HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I AM ALSO NOT THRILLED WITH THE NOISE IT MAKE WHEN I START IT, & WONDER HOW LONG BEFORE IT DOESN'T RUN. I NOW HAVE 36,000 MILES ON IT WITH THESE ISSUES, MY LAST VEHICLE THAT I TRADED IN FOR THIS HAD 250,000 TROUBLE FREE MILES. GM NEEDS TO BUY THIS BACK, OR LIFETIME WARRANTY ON MOTOR ALONG WITH FREE GAS TO MAKE UP FOR THE 10 MPG I'M NOT GETTING. *TR

I WAS IN THE DRIVE THRU LINE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. WHEN IT WAS TIME TO MOVE FORWARD, I PUT THE TRUCK IN DRIVE AND AS SOON AS MY FOOT HIT THE GAS PEDAL IT STALLED. I STARTED THE ENGINE BACK UP AND TRIED TO DRIVE FORWARD AND THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN. THIS HAS OCCURRED ABOUT 10 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE (IN COLD AND MILD WEATHER). I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. *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
