2010 GMC TERRAIN Complaints

I BOUGHT THIS CAR 12/2014 IN 01/15 I TOOK IT IN FOR A NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE TIMING CHAIN. IT WAS REPLACED. IN 12/2015 I HAD ENGINE PROBLEMS THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED WITH HELP OF THE WARRANTY I WAS OUT OF POCKET $850.00. NOW 08/16 IT RAN HOT WHILE ON THE FREE. I GOT OFF A THE NEXT EXIT AND TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE THEY COULDN'T TELL WHAT WAS WRONG. I HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT THAT DIDN'T WORK. HAD IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID SOMETHING ABOUT A BATTERY. THAT DIDN'T EVEN APPLY. THEY SENT IT BACK TO THE PEOPLE THEY BOUGHT THE ENGINE FROM IN 12/2015. THEY SAID THE TIMING CHAIN WAS BROKE AGAIN. THEY FIXED IT BUT IT'S STILL RUNNING HOT. THEY WARRANTY WAS VOIDED B/C I DROVE IT OFF THE FREEWAY AND THE TEMP REACHED HIGHER THAN 280 DEGREES. THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE THE GASKETS FOR $1000.00 THAT I HAVE TO PA OUT OF POCKET AND IT STILL MIGHT HAVE PROBLEMS AND NEED ANOTHER ENGINE. ALL IN LESS THAN A YEAR. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THIS. I BELIEVE THE DEALERSHIP EITHER DIDN'T INSTALL THE ENGINE CORRECTLY OR THE ENGINE WAS ALREADY NO GOD

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS ILLUMINATED MULTIPLE TIMES. A ROUGH IDLE WAS INITIAL INDICATION SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TESTED MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD FROM DEALERSHIP AND OTHER MECHANICS THAT IT IS A TIMING ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WILL START AND DRIVE. SAFELY PROBLEM IS WHILE DRIVING THROUGH A BUSY TWO WAY INTERSECTION, AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AS NEEDED ALMOST LEADING TO AN ACCIDENT. UNDER NORMAL WORKING CONDITION I WOULD HAVE HAD NO PROBLEM MAKING IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. IT VERY SLOWLY PUTTERED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WHILE I HAD THE ACCELERATOR PUSHED TO THE FLOOR BOARD AND AFTER FINALLY CROSSING THE INTERSECTION BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AT AN UNEXPECTED SPEED. I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE SO UNEXPECTEDLY THAT I TEMPORARILY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CROSSED INTO THE INCOMING LANE OF TRAFFIC.

WHILE ENTERING A FREEWAY ONRAMP, VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. PULLED OVER AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. STARTED AND LIMPED TO THE NEAREST DEALER. TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT 41K MILES, 5 YEARS "80 DAYS" (SEPT 2015) INTO OWNERSHIP! DEALER DID NOT OFFER TO DO AN FULL GOODWILL REPAIR, DESPITE THE LOW MILES AND 80 DAYS PAST THE WARRANTY. ENGINE CONSTANTLY USES/BURNS OIL. SERVICE DOCUMENTATION AVAILABLE ON REQUEST.

TICKING NOISE FROM ENGINE ALONG WITH EXCESS OIL CONSUMPTION. MECHANIC SAYS THIS DEFINITELY SHOULD BE A RECALL. TIMING CHAIN WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS A NOISE FROM THE ENGINE WHEN THE CAR IDLES AND ACCELERATING. IT CONSUMES APPROXIMATELY 2.5 EXTRA QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES OF 3,000 MILE INTERVALS.

USES WAY TO MUCH OIL. WE HAVE TO KEEP ADDING OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. THERE IS NO LEAKS ON THE GROUND FROM LEAKING OIL, IT JUST BURNS OIL FAST. WE HAVE TO CHECK THE OIL AT EVERY FILL UP AND MOST OF THE TIME WE ARE ADDING ABOUT 2 QT. OR MORE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEFROST DID NOT FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DELAER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 19,800.

I PURCHASE MY TRUCK CERTIFIED USED AND I ALREADY HAVE TO DROP $1400 BECAUSE THE O2 SENSOR WENT OUT, THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IS CRACKED AND THE HOSE THAT RECYCLES THE GAS (I'M GUESSING THE INTAKE VALVE) IS LEAKING! I STILL HAVE TO MAKE CAR PAYMENTS AND INSURANCE PAYMENTS WHICH TOTAL UP TO ABOUT $700 PER MONTH!!!! I AM REALLY DISSATISFIED AS MUCH AS I LOVE MY TRUCK.

THE CAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WON'T GO OUT AND THE ONSTAR REP SAYS IT IS TRANSMISSION RELATED TO POSSIBLE TIMING CHAIN WHICH WAS REPLACED APROX 2 YEARS AGO AT THAT TIME THERE WAS NO WARNING AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON I TRAVEL ONLY HIGHWAY MOST OF THE TIME AND IM IN FEAR THAT THE CAR WILL STOP WITHOUT NOTICE I FEEL IF THE CHAIN IS THE ISSUE AGAIN THEY SHOULD MAKE GOOD ON THE CAR IT HAS APROX 71000. MILES AT THIS TIME AND IF IT STOPS ON HIGHWAY COULD BE CAUSE FOR DEATHS TO ME OR MAYBE SOMEONE ELSE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE THAT PROGRESSED WITHIN THE FIRST THIRTY DAYS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND KEPT FOR LONGER THAN THREE WEEKS. THE CONTACT DID NOT RECEIVE AN INVOICE TO CONFIRM WHAT THE DEALER DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF A DEALER WOULD REPAIR THE VEHICLE OR A MECHANIC THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE LAST MAY 2015 WITH NO WARNING INDICATORS WORKING MY VEHICLE LOSS EXCESSIVE OIL AND NOW NEEDING A NEW ENGINE, HOW DOES A VEHICLE LOSE 4.5 QUARTS BETWEEN A OIL CHANGES. NOW I'M STUCK WITH THE COST OF REPAIRS FOR INSTALLING A NEW ENGINE AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND GM MOTORS REFUSED TO HELP ME WITH REPAIRS. I HAVE SIX CHILDREN AT HOME I PROVIDE FOR AND NOW WILL BE EATING A NEW ENGINE AT THE DINNER TABLE FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS! THANKS A LOT GM FOR NOT LIVING UP TO YOUR NAME IM GOING TO TOYOTA NEXT VEHICLE. THE GOOD THING I WAS PARKED AT A STORE WHEN THE VEHICLE GAVE OUT WITH NO WARNING!!!!!!!
