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!)

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. IT HAPPENED AS I WAS ON THE ENTRANCE RAMP TO THE INTERSTATE SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

TAKATA RECALL- THE RADIO SCREEN GOES COMPLETELY BLACK WHEN IT COMES BACK ON ITS UN- READABLE. ALSO WHENEVER YOU TURN THE AC ON IT MAKES A CLICKING SOUND. BOTH HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING( IN MOTION, STATIONARY, CITY STREETS AS WELL AS HIGHWAY... ALSO, THE BACK WINDOWS CLICK WHEN ROLLING THEM UP OR DOWN.

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS HAVE BEEN REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS CHECKED BY GM DEALER P0017, CRANSHAFT CAMSHAFT 9-16-16. THE DEALER SAYS THEY FIXED IT. 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.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED FUNCTIONING WHILE DRIVING IN VERY HEAVY DOWN POOR ON THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC.

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.
