2011 GMC TERRAIN Complaints

LIFTGATE NOT WORKING. ACCESS TO THE BACK COMPARTMENT IS COMPROMISED AS THE LIFTGATE DOES NOT WORK EITHER USING THE WIRELESS KEYS OR PRESSING ON THE BUTTON TO MANUALLY OPEN THE LIFTGATE. THE DOOR CONTINUOUSLY LATCHES AND MAKES IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN. I HAVE TO TRICK THE TIMING AND ATTEMPT TO PULL (USING GREAT FORCE) BEFORE THE LIFTGATE WILL LATCH AGAIN. LOTS OF FORCE HAS TO BE USED AS COMPRESSED AIR MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO LIFT AND CLOSE THE BACK LIFTGATE. ALTHOUGH GM HAS HAD NEARLY 900,000 VEHICLES RECALLS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL IN THIS RECALL. PLEASE CONSIDER MY 2011 GMC TERRAIN AS PART OF THIS RECALL, SO I CAN GET IT REPAIRED. THANK YOU!

PURCHASED MY CERTIFIED 2011 GMC TERRAIN 7/12/2016. AFTER DRIVING A FEW DAYS NOTICED CAR WAS STALLING WHILE ACCELERATING OR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. (1ST SERVICE) TOOK IT IN 7/28/2016 TO BE SERVICED, WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER-VEHICLE WAS BETTER, BUT STILL HESITATES ON TAKE OFF (2ND SERVICE) TOOK IT IN 11/10/2016 RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP. FINALLY IT SEEMS TO BE DRIVING BETTER'FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS (3RD SERVICE) TOOK IN 1/16/2017 TO BE SERVICED- CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON BUSY HIGHWAY SEVERAL TIMES DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR (STOP AND GO TRAFFIC), THIS TIME ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WAS TOLD SOMETHING TO DO WITH ELECTRICAL PROGRAMMING COMMUNICATING WITH THE FUEL PUMP?! AS OF TODAY CAR IS STARTING TO STALL AND HESITATE AGAIN. MY CERTIFIED WARRANTY IS UP IN 3/2017, MY FEAR IS NEXT FEW INCIDENTS WILL NOT BE COVERED. KEEP IN MIND I HAVE NOT HAD THIS VEHICLE A YEAR YET. I HAVE A CERTIFIED LEMON. I DESERVE A REFUND/UPGRADE.

GOING TO VISIT SON, DAUGHTER IN LAW AND GRANDAUGHTER IN VIRGINIA FROM MICHIGAN. GOT REDUCED POWER MESSAGE WITH STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT. FIRST TIME WAS WITHOUT WARNING ON THE CURVY HILLY PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE IN TRAFFIC AT APPX 70 MPH.. LOST POWER ON HILL HAD NO ACCELERATION, VEHICLE DECELERATED IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC. PUT ON HAZARDS AND WORKED OUR WAY OVER TO SHOULDER ACROSS 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC. THANK GOD THIS DIDN'T CAUSE A PILEUP OF HOLIDAY TRAVELERS. STOPPED VEHICLE, ENGINE WAS MISFIRING, THERE WAS NO THROTTLE RESPONSE. SHUT OFF ENGINE AND RESTARTED, POWER WAS BACK BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. CONTINUED TRIP, 2ND INCIDENT WAS ABOUT 1 HOUR LATER ALSO WITHOUT WARNING. HAD ABOUT 5 INCIDENTS THIS TRIP.

THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE TO REPLACE THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. THIS WAS REPLACED AND 1 WEEK LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TAKEN TO DEALER. DIAGNOSED AS CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS UNDER A PUBLIC SERVICE EXTENDED WARRANTY (10 YEARS, 120,000 MILES WHICHEVER COMES FIRST). OF COURSE I NOW HAVE 138,000 MILE ON THE VEHICLE. GMC WILL NOT COVER REPAIR COSTS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL NOT AN EXTENDED SERVICE WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING WHEN THE LIGHT CAME ON. I FIRST CALLED ABOUT REPLACING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHEN NOTIFIED BY MAIL OF THE EXTENDED SERVICE WARRANTY, AND BECAUSE THE MILEAGE WAS OVER 120,000 MILES AND THE LIGHT WAS NOT ON, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO REASON TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. DEPENDING ON WHAT IS CAUSING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER DIAGNOSTIC TO INDICATE IT HAS A PROBLEM, THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. CLEARLY, GMC ISSUED AN EXTENDED SERVICE WARRANTY TO AVOID REPAIRING AFFECTED VEHICLES. THE 120,000 MILE LIMITATION EXCLUDES VEHICLES RANDOMLY. THIS ISSUE COULD OCCUR AT ANYTIME. *TR

WHILE DRIVING WIPERS STOPPED WORKING, WAS TOLD I NEEDED AND NEW WIPER TRANSMISSION. THIS WAS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS BECAUSE IT WAS RAINING HEAVILY. THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WAS APPROXIMATELY 94000. *TR

REPLACED TIMING CHAIN-51000 MILES, NOW AT 59000 MILES AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON: CODE; P00013XX CAM POSITION SENSORS (BOTH) ARE CODING AS WELL AS SOLENOIDS. THIS CODE COMES BEFORE ENGINE STARTS. INTERIOR LIGHTING OFTEN NOT WORKING INCLUDING SHIFT INDICATOR, WIPERS AND DEFROSTER. BOTH AT START AND WHILE DRIVING. CALLED LOCAL GMC- "NOT RECALLED AND OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR
