2010 GMC TERRAIN Complaints

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, 65 MPH. WITHOUT WARNING THE CARS DISPLAY SAID SERVICE STABILITRAK AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER. CARS COMING UP BEHIND ME FAST, HAD TO PULL OVER, NO POWER. ALMOST WRECKED / DIED. DEALER SAYS CAN'T RECREATE ISSUE AND CLEARED CODES. I'M AFRAID IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

NOTICED NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE, TOOK TOO DEALER AND WAS ADVISED NOTHING WRONG. 2010. TOOK TOO ANOTHER DEALER, TOLD NOTHING WRONG AND VEHICLE WOULD SOON BE OUT OF WARRANTY AT (36,000 MILES) CONTACTED GM, WAS ADVISED WARRANTY UNTIL (100,000 MILES). RETURNED TO DEALER, CAM ACTUATORS REPLACED WAS TOLD "FIXED". RETURNED TO DEALER WITHIN A MONTH OR SO, SAME PROBLEM. CAM ACTUATORS REPLACED, WAS TOLD "FIXED" CONTACTED GM REGARDING LEMON LAW, REFUSED TO REPLACE ADVISED THEM VEHICLE STILL MAKING NOISE. RETURNED TO DEALER AGAIN, DEALER CLAIMED VEHICLE WAS FINE. GM OFFERED A $2,000.00 OWNER LOYALTY BUT REFUSED ANY FURTHER REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF MY VEHICLE. RECENTLY RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC (DATED SEPTEMBER 2014) ADVISING OF THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE HAD SINCE FIRST MONTH I OWNED VEHICLE, AND I PURCHASED BRAND NEW! OCTOBER 23, 2014 SENT LETTER TO GMC (CERTIFIED MAIL/RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED) REQUESTING THEY EITHER RESPOND AND REPAIR OR REPLACE VEHICLE OR I WOULD FILE COMPLAINTS AND DO MY BEST TO GET A CLASS ACTION SUIT STARTED. AS OF TODAY 11/21/2014, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE FROM GMC. I DO NOT HAVE THE FINANCES TO JUST GO BUY VEHICLES, I HAVE DISABLED PEOPLE IN THE HOUSEHOLD AND THIS WAS TO BE A LONG TERM "RELIABLE" VEHICLE, INSTEAD IT HAS BEEN A JOKE! VEHICLE HAS STALLED IN TRAFFIC NUMEROUS TIMES, DECIDED TO DROP SPEED AND HAVE NO POWER TO BARELY MOVE. THIS IS ONE OF THE AVENUES I AM TAKING, I WILL ALSO BE FORWARDING COPIES OF ALL OF THE REPAIRS AND LETTERS TO SENATORS, CONGRESSMAN ETC. *TR

VEHICLE STARTED MAKING LOUD RUBBING NOISE COMING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL. IF VEHICLE HAD CONTINUED TO BE DRIVEN, IT IS POSSIBLE THE WHEEL COULD HAVE FALLEN OFF. THE WHEEL HUB BEARING WAS DEFECTIVE. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET FORUMS IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A REOCCURING PROBLEM ON GMC TERRAINS AND CHEVROLET EQUINOX. GMC REFUSED TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY AND AFTER SUBMISSION TO THEM FOR REIMBURSEMENT, THEY DECILINED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT MADE UNKNOWN REPAIRS INDEPENDENTLY TO THE VEHICLE BUT THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE .THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

I COULDN'T RESTART MY CAR RIGHT AFTER I STOPPED AT A PARKING STALL IN THE MORNING, BUT I CAN HEAR "CLICK" SOUND. DASH BOARD SHOWS WARNINGS:"STABILITRAK.."(I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY THE WORDS), "BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE!" AND "SERVICE POWER STEERING". HOWEVER, I MANAGED TO JUMP MY CABLE AFTER 20MINS, AND STEP ON GAS AT THE SAME TIME WHEN I TURNED THE IGNITION KEY, FINALLY I START MY ENGINE AFTER 3 OR 4 TIMES. IN THE AFTERNOON, WHEN I TURNED ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS BUT NOT CRANK, POWER WINDOWS DIDN'T WORK AT ALL, WHICH USED TO WORK WELL, AND "SERVICE POWER STEERING" APPEARS AGAIN. *TR

I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, WHEN I ACCELERATED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE, I TRIED CHANGING GEARS IT WOULD NOT GO IN DRIVE OR REVERSE, AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT DID GO INTO DRIVE AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT INTO A PARKING LOT AT THAT TIME I PARKED AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED THE VEHICLE BACK UP AND AT THAT TIME IT WOULD NOT DRIVE IN EITHER GEAR. I CALLED GMC ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WHO COULD NOT GET IT TO DO ANYTHING EITHER THEY HAD TO PUT IT ON A LIFT TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. AT THIS TIME I AM WAITING ON THE DEALERSHIP TO TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY FOB FAILED TO UNLOCK THE DOORS. AS A RESULT, THE DOORS HAD TO BE MANUALLY UNLOCKED. ALSO, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURES OCCURRED TWICE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. UPDATED 10/22/14*CN THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. UPDATED 10/30/14

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT A STOP. I AM SERIOUSLY CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF MY WIFE. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS AND SHE INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE HER VEHICLE BASICALLY SHUTS OFF AND LEAVES HER VERY VULNERABLE? WHAT IF THE VEHICLE STALLS DURING DRIVING? GMC IS NO HELP, I HAVE CALLED AND ALL THEY SAY IS THERE IS NO RECALL. I GET ON THEIR WEBSITE AND IT DOES NOT WORK. WE HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE IGNITION, HAVING TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND ALSO THE TIMING CHAIN MAKING HORRIBLE NOISE. THE LATEST INCIDENT REALLY CONCERNS ME AS IT MAY PLACE MY WIFE IN SERIOUS DANGER. PLEASE HELP! *TR

VEHICLE QUICKLY DECELERATED FROM ABOUT 46 MPH TO 5 MPH. IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 5 MPH. NO WARNING SIGNS BEFORE HAND, HAPPENED OUT OF NOWHERE. THEN AN ERROR LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. GMC MECHANIC STATED THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD AND REPLACED IT, IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY (COST $540.00). THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON A FREEWAY OR BUSY STREET, OR COULD LEAVE SOMEONE STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH NO WARNING. *TR

ON TOP OF VISIBILITY PROBLEMS, HEAT WORKS ONLY WHEN IT FEELS LIKE TO , HEATING OF RADIO CONTROL PANEL, LIGHTS ARE FLICKERING, SOMETIMES TOTALLY INVISIBLE,(CANT READ CONTROLS) RECALL THAT WAS ON SOME 2010 TERRAINS IS CLEARLY A RECALL FOR MY CAR, BUT GMC CLAIMS THAT MY CAR HAS NO RECALL. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT SPEED OF 65 MPH IT SUDDENLY RAINED, I TURNED WIPERS ON THEY GOT STUCK IN MIDDLE OF WINDSHIELD MAKING IT TOTALLY INVISIBLE OF MATTER OF SECONDS. IF I WAS NOT IN CAR ACCIDENT THEN I'M HOPING I NEVER WILL BE. HAD TO QUICKLY OPEN PASSENGER SIDE DOOR TO SEE WHERE I CAN PULL OVER TO THE SIDE. I'M GLAD NO 1 WAS RIGHT BEHIND ME, OTHERWISE THERE WOULD BE UNAVOIDABLE ACCIDENT. AS SOMEONE ELSE CLAIMED THE WIPER ARM ASSEMBLY BECAME DISCONNECTED FROM THE WIPER MOTOR ( I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THEM BY HAND) THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR
