2010 GMC TERRAIN Complaints

HAD MANY, MANY OCCURRENCES WITH THE STABILITRAK. FIRST OCCURRENCE 9/23/15. FOUND THE PROBLEM 12/16/15. WITH AN EST. MILEAGE OF 48,379. THE VEHICLE WOULD COME TO A STOP WHILE IN MOTION. TWICE WHILE ON MAJOR FREEWAY DRIVING 60+ MILES PER HOUR. NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PRESSED ON THE GAS THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO. VERY UNPREDICTABLE. TWICE LOOKED OVER BY A GMC DEALER AND FOUND NOTHING.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING AND DID NOTHING BUT REV HIGH RPMS. HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE, AT WHICH POINT I HAD TO TURN OFF THE TERRAIN. ONCE RESTARTED, THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR. A MONTH AND A HALF AND $3000+ LATER, A NEW TRANSMISSION AND 4 COMPUTERS LATER, THE TERRAIN IS STILL BEING WORKED ON! ACCORDING TO MANY DIFFERENT DEALERS, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE ON THE TERRAINS, AND MANY HAVE BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIPS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. SO WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

ENGINE BURNING OIL RAPIDLY MAKING LOUD NOISE HAD TO GET A NEW ENGINE FROM GMC AND HAD IT INSTALLED AT THE DEALERSHIP. POWER STEERING LOCKED TWICE TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP THEY STATED THAT THE BATTERY CABLE WAS NOT CONNECTING PROPERLY AND MADE THE ADJUSTMENT. WAS WORKING FINE FOR 1 MONTH AND NOW THE POWER STEERING LOCKED AGAIN AND I ALMOST HIT A WALL AND PEDESTRIAN WHILE ENTERING A PARKING GARAGE, I AM TAKING IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG, AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED; HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE RADIO NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DEFROSTER WAS ACTIVATED BUT IT UNEXPECTEDLY FAILED TO FUNCTION, WHICH DISTORTED THE VISIBILITY. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND PROGRESSED TO BEING PERMANENT. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V489000 (VISIBILITY). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH PEOPLE BEHIND ME, AND THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE LIGHT CAME ON THAT SAID STABILITRACK. IT WOULD NOT START BACK UP. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP, AND WE CONTACTED GMC, THEY SAID OUR WARRANTY HAD RAN OUT IN DECEMBER 2014, AND THIS TOOK PLACE FEBRUARY 2015. THE VEHICLE HAD AROUND 60,000 MILES ON IT. IT TURNED OUT IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN, AND WHEN IT BROKE IT DESTROYED THE WHOLE MOTOR. IT ACTUALLY SHEARED OFF SOME OTHER METAL PARTS. THE WHOLE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED, AND WE HAD TO PAY FOR IT ALL OUT OF OUR POCKET, WHILE WE ARE STILL PAYING FOR THE VEHICLE ITSELF. I FEEL LIKE THAT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE ITSELF, BECAUSE YOU READ ON THESE PAGES AND FORUMS, AND TONS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS WE HAD. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BY IT STOPPING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH NO WARNING AT ALL!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND ACTIVATING THE DEFROSTER, THE REAR DEFROSTER FAILED TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DEFROSTER NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

I HAVE 41,000 MILES - SHOULD I NEED A LEFT PRETENSION BUCKLE (PART FAILURE) AND TIMING CHAIN - OIL WAS CHANGED IN DECEMBER, CHECKED IN JANUARY AND GMC DEALER STATES I HAVE NO OIL AND NEED A TIMING CHAIN WHERE DID THE OIL GO? IS THIS A FACTOR DEFECT? CAR STALLED AT STOP SIGNS AND RED LIGHTS.

I OWN A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. WHEN I HAD AN OIL CHANGE DONE I NOTICED AN ABNORMAL TICKING NOISE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF AND BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND WAS TOLD THE TIMING BELT AND CHAIN HAD TO BE REPLACED THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, I ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 2 YRS AND FOR THIS KIND OF PROBLEM UNDER 100,000 MILES IS CRAZY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM I WENT TO OTHER MECHANICS WHO WOULD NOT TOUCH THE VEHICLE AND SAID THIS WAS A DEALER ISSUE AND WAS ADVISED THAT HE HAS HAD A FEW CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND I AM NOT PAYING 2,000 FOR A PART THAT HAS BEEN KNOWN TO CAUSE PROBLEMS BUT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRENTY.
