2010 GMC TERRAIN Complaints

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.

I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT HAS EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. IT USES A QUART EVERY 900 MILES. 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.

STALLING WHEN TURNING, COMING UP TO STOP LIGHTS AND GOING DOWN HILLS, ENGINE MAKING LOUD NOISES AND EXCESSIVE OIL CHANGES. ENGINE IS NOW UNOPERABLE

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY IN SAN DIEGO, CA DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR, CAR SUDDENLY LOST POWER. DASHBOARD MESSAGE WAS "REDUCED POWER TO ENGINE." CAR WOULD SUDDENLY ONLY GO 30 MPH. VERY DANGEROUS. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF FREEWAY AND LUCKILY AVOIDED COLLISIONS, AS TRAFFIC FLOW WAS 70 MPH. TOOK CAR TO GMC DEALER AND THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED. TOTAL COST WAS $458. I COULD HAVE EASILY CREATED A MAJOR TRAFFIC ACCIDENT CAUSING INJURY TO MYSELF AND MANY OTHERS BECAUSE I SUDDENLY COULD ONLY DRIVE 30 MPH.
