2010 GMC TERRAIN Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED FACIAL INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

MY CAR IS IDLING WHEN IT SUDDENLY BEGINS TO IDLE ROUGHLY THEN STALLS. THERE IS A "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" WARNING THAT APPEARS WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND "SERVICE STABILITRAK" WITH THE STABILITRAK LIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES, TWICE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, ANOTHER TIME IN MOTION, DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER BEFORE IT DIED. IN READING OTHER COMPLAINTS, THIS SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE FOR 2010 GMC TERRAINS AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS A RECALL ISSUE.

I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE CHECKED TWICE THIS YEAR REGARDING THE LOUD EXHAUST NOISE AND THE STRONG FUEL SMELL COMING FROM MY VEHICLE. THEY SAID THAT IT IS NOT A CONCERN AND I GET MIGRAINES FROM THE SMELL AS WELL. I TAKE MY LITTLE SISTER TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY AND THE THE FUMES ARE OVERWHELMING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND THE DEFROSTER WAS ENGAGED, THE DEFROST FAILED TO OPERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V489000 (VISIBILITY).

OKAYTHE TRUCK FIRST STARTED WITH THE CAR ALARM GOING OFF AT ANYTIME. WE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. WE TOOK IT HOME AND NOTHING. THEN THE EVERYTHING IN THE FRONT BOARD (RADIO SCREEN, DASHBOARD) WAS STAYING ON WHEN NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR AN OFF WHEN SOMEONE DRIVES IT. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AND SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THE A TIMER. WE BOUGHT WARRANTY AND IT DIDN'T COVER IT. OKAY, I ASK IF IT WOULD BE A PROBLEM TO WAIT 2 WEEKS FOR I CAN HAVE MONEY TO FIX IT LATER AND THEY SAID YEAH. A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER. A FAMILY MEMBER DRIVES THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR JUST SHUTS DOWN ON HER. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING IT'S THE CAMSHAFT. THE WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER THAT EITHER. STILL BEING PATIENT, I DECLINED SERVICE BECAUSE I HAD NOT ENOUGH MONEY FOR THE FIX AND FIND ODD THAT IS A DIFFERENT PROBLEM. COUPLE DAYS AFTER, THE CAR WON'T TURN ON. IT WOULD ONLY TURN ON WHEN IT FEELS LIKE IT. LONG STORY SHORT. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NOW THEY ARE SAY IS THE BATTERING. GOT INTO AN ARGUMENTS TALK TO EVERY SUPERVISOR BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHATS THE PROBLEM BUT WHATEVER IT IS IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. WAS ABLE TO GET GM TO PAY SOMETHING FOR REPAIRS AND PAID ONLY DEDUCTIBLE. CAR IS FIX FROM EVERYTHING. OKAY WEEK, LATER THE CAR IS REPEATING THE STEPS. TOOK THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE SAYING THERE'S NOTHING WRONG. I'M GETTING FRUSTRATED NOW, THEY ARE NOT CHECKING THE CAR AND IT GETS WORSE WHEN I BRING IT BACK.

WHILE DRIVING BACK FROM WORK, IN A 2010 2.4L GMC TERRAIN PURCHASED AT STAR BUICK GMC, THE CAR WAS MAKING A HORRIBLE RATTLING NOISE, WHICH HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT CAUSED THE ENTIRE CAR TO SHUT DOWN. IT WOULD NOT TURN OVER AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF RUSH-HOUR TRAFFIC WITH A CAR THAT WOULDN'T RESPOND. SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE JOYCEKOONS GMC DEALERSHIP FOR REQUIRED MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE, BECAUSE THE TIMING CHAIN WAS DAMAGED, AND THE CAR APPEARS TO BE LOSING SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. THIS TIME WHEN HAVING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP I'M TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE NEEDS REPLACEMENT BECAUSE METAL HAS GOTTEN INSIDE, AND CONVENIENTLY I'M 3 MONTHS OUTSIDE OF MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THIS SORT OF ISSUE PUTS LIVES AT RISK (ENGINE FAILURE IN TRAFFIC) AND I WOULD LIKE THE GOVT. TO INVESTIGATE SO THAT OTHERS DO NOT SUFFER FROM THIS PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE.

THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE. IT IS LIKE MY CAR IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL. IT WILL STALL WHEN WE ARE DRIVING SLOW AND IF I AM ON A HILL IT WILL COMPLETELY LOOSE POWER. WHEN I LOOSE POWER THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING BUT I CAN'T PUT IT IN GEAR. I THE. HAVE TO SHUT MY CAR OFF START IT AGAIN AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO GET OFF THE HILL. I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL LOOSE POWER OR STALL ON THE HIGHWAY AND I WILL GET IN AN ACCIDENT. MY WARRANTY RAN OUT LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO AND I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALMOST THREE MONTHS. THEY KEPT SAYING NOTHING WAS WRONG NOW THEY ARE SAYING I HAVE ALL THESE ENGINE PROBLEMS BUT NOW IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY.

WE WERE ALMOST REAR END WHEN TRAVELLING DOWN THE HIGHWAY THE CAR JUST STOPS MOVING WITH ENGINE RUNNING. THE DRIVER WHO ALMOST HIT US AND OTHER DRIVERS GOT OUT TO ASSIST US IN GETTING MY CAR OFF THE HIGHWAY. WE TRAVEL ALOT IN THIS CAR WHAT IF WE WERE ON INTERSTATE WE WOULD PROBABLY BEEN KILLED. THANK GOD THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. THE DEALER HAD THE CAR OVER A WEEK TRYING TO FIND THE PROBLEM FIRST THEY SAID IT WAS A CRANK SHAFT SENSOR NOW THEY ARE SAYING IT'S THE PLATES IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE COST BETWEEN $3150 AND $4000. WE CAN'T AFFORD THAT WITH ONLY 5 PAYMENTS LEFT ON A CAR WE PURCHASED NEW KEPT UP WITH ALL THE SERVICES INCLUDING A TRANSMISSION SERVICE THE DEALER SAID WE NEEDED TO COVER ANY FUTURE PROBLEMS WE MAY INCUR. WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD A TRANSMISSION GO OUT AT 87,000 MILES. I JUST WANT THE GOVERNING AUTHORITY TO LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM TO SAVE SOMEONE LIFE. THERE WAS NO WARNING BEFORE THIS HAPPENED TO US. I THINK GMC SHOULD BE ORDER TO ISSUE SOME TYPE OF RECALL. I'M STILL WAITING FOR A CALL FROM GMC

WE WERE TRAVELING WEST ON HIGHWAY 78 AT A SPEED ABOUT 45 OR JUST A LITTLE OVER SPEED LIMIT WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STOPS IN MID TRAFFIC WE ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. PASSENGER FROM OTHER VEHICLES DECIDED TO GET OUT AND HELP US PUSH IT OFF THE HIGHWAY THANK GOD WAS NO INJURIES
