2010 GMC TERRAIN Complaints

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY DURING HEAVY DOWNPOUR AT NIGHT WITH RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, THE WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED MID MOTION. I IMMEDIATELY BLINDLY PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I COULD HEAR THE WIPER MOTOR, BUT THE WIPERS WEREN'T WORKING. HAD VEHICLE TOWED HOME WHERE I TOOK APART COWL AND WIPER ASSY AND NOTICED THE WIPER LINKAGE WAS DISCONNECTED FROM THE WIPER TRANSMISSION AND MOTOR. I WILL REPLACE LINKAGE ASSY AS "BALL" CONNECTOR TO TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING IN A RAIN OR SNOW STORM, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES STOPPED OPERATING IN MID-MOTION WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CORROSION IN THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE WINDSHIELD TRANSMISSION SYSTEM AND MOTOR NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER (GOLDSTEIN BUICK GMC, 1671 CENTRAL AVE, ALBANY, NY 12205, (518) 869-229) WERE CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A WINDSHIELD WIPER RECALL.

I WAS GETTING GAS, FIILED UP, WHEN I GOT BACK INTO CAR, DIDN'T WANT TO START, REALLY HAD TO HIT GAS PEDAL, VERY SCARY, THAT HAPPENED 3 TIMES AFTER GETTING GAS, ANOTHER TIME I WAS AT STOP LIGHT, AND IT JUST STALLED, ENGINE COMPLETELY STOPPED, HARD START UP AGAIN, SO I DECIDED FOR SAFETY REASONS TAKING IT TO DEALERSHIP, IT'S STILL THERE AS OF 11/20/2017, BUT WANTED TO GET THIS OUT THERE, I THINK MAYBE THIS IS ONGOING ISSUE WITH CERTAIN MODELS OF GMC, AND FEEL MAYBE IT WILL BE A RECALL ISSUE IF ENOUGH PEOPLE REPORT ISSUES AS SUCH AS THESE. I THANK GOD I WASN'T DRIVING AND THIS HAPPENED, DEF A SAFETY CONCERN GMC NEEDS TO ADDRESS.

I OWN A 2010 GMC TERRAIN THAT ONLY HAS 51,000 MILES. I WAS EXCELLERATING TO GET ONTO THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY VEHICLE ALL THE SUDDEN HAD LACK OF ENGINE POWER. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, THANKFULLY WITHOUT GETTING HIT. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MY MECHANIC'S SHOP. A TEST WAS DONE AND THE CODE P2135 THROTTLE/PETAL SENSOR SWITCH WAS REVEALED. THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON. NOW, TWO WEEKS LATER, THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON A CITY STREET. THIS TIME ANOTHER WARNING CAME ON ALONG WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT. THE WARNING SAYS ENGINE STABILITY TRAK. THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN AS BOT TIMES, I NARROWLY ESCAPED AN ACCIDENT. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 51,000 MILES AND IT IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. MY CONCERN IS THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

SERVICE STABILITRAX. AND LIGHT AND TRANSACTION CONTROL. SOMETIMES FOLLOWED BY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. STABILITRAX GOES OUT, SOMETIMES REDUCING SPEED AND PUTTING CAR INTO SAFE MODE. I WAS DRIVING ON AN INTERSTATE WHEN THE SERVICE STABILITRAX, ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE WINTERY MIX. WHEN TURNING OFF HIGHWAY, THERE WAS NO TRACTION CONTROL TO KICK IN.

TRANSMISSION FAILED. SHOP SAID IT WAS A BROKEN WAVE PLATE. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER GMC MODELS BUT NOT ON MINE. THE PROBLEM IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT CAUSES THE WHEELS TO BE DISCONNECTED FROM THE ENGINE RESULTING IN LOSS OF CONTROL. I THINK GMC NEGLECTED TO RECALL ALL MODELS AFFECTED BY THIS DEFECT. MY WARRANTEE EXPIRED BY DATE BUT NOT MILLAGE SINCE MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 48,000 MILES. GMC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THIS FAILURE AND DECLINED TO REIMBURSE MY COST.

THE DRAKES LOCK UP AND WILL NOT RELEASE UNTIL THE CAR SITS FOR SOMETIME ABOUT 2-8 HOURS.THE SERVICE STABILITRACK LIGHT COMES ON AND YOU LOSE ENGINE POWER ALMOST INSTANTLY. I HAVE HAD FOUR DIFFERENT SHOP FIX WHAT THEY SUSPECTED WAS THE PROBLEM AND THE LAST SHOP WAS A DEALERSHIP AND IT HAPPENED TO ME A WEEK LATER WHILE OUT OF TOWN FOR A WEDDING.

8/26/13 WE TOOK OUR TERRAIN INTO A GMC DEALER DUE TO CHECK ENGINE LITE COMING ON, WAS INFORMED THAT THE MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED. PAID DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE MANIFOLD AND ALL GASKETS. ALMOST 4 YEARS TO THE DATE THE SAME REPAIRS ARE NEEDING TO AGAIN REPLACE THE MANIFOLD. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 8 YEAR OLD AND IS USED FOR HIGHWAY DRIVING. WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THIS IS A POSSIBLE DESIGN FLAW OR THERE IS A WEAKEN MOTOR MOUNT.
