2011 GMC TERRAIN Complaints

TAKATA RECALL? ON MARCH 12, MY WIFE AND I WERE IN A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. WE WERE ON A CITY STREET IN TULSA, OKLAHOMA WHEN WE REARENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT WAS A FAIRLY MINOR ACCIDENT AT LESS THAN 40 MPH, BUT MY WIFE SUSTAINED SEVERE INJURIES TO HER RIGHT EYE AND BOTH ARMS. SHE BROKE THE MAJOR BONE IN BOTH OF HER ARMS RIGHT ABOVE THE WRIST AREA, AND HER RIGHT EYE WAS LACERATED AND EXPLODED FROM THE SOCKET. SHE HAS BEEN THROUGH NUMEROUS SURGERIES FOR HER EYE AND ARMS. SHE IS CURRENTLY BLIND IN HER RIGHT EYE. HER SEATBELT DID NOT RESTAIN HER FROM COMING FORWARD, AND WE STILL DO NOT KNOW WHAT HIT HER IN THE EYE. ALL OF THE AIRBAGS IN THE CAR EXPLODED, AND WE BELIEVE THAT THIS MIGHT HAVE CAUSED HER EYE INJURY, BUT WE ARE UNSURE AS TO WHY HER SEATBELT WOULD HAVE NOT RESTRAINED HER FROM WHAT CAUSED THE INJURIES TO HER ARMS AND EYE.

SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR, IT HAS GIVEN NOTHING BUT ISSUES, THE AC WENT OUT WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, IT WAS FIXED SO I THOUGHT, IT BROKE DOWN AGAIN AND BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO DESCRIBE WORD BY WORD, I WAS TOLD IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED SINCE IT WAS NOT THE SAME ISSUE AND I NO LONGER HAD THE WARRANTY. A MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT GMC INSTALLED REALLY CHEAP AC COMPRESORS/UNIT AND HE HAS HAD A LOT OF CUSTOMERS WITH SAME ISSUE. IT IS A SHAME THAT WE PAY SO MUCH MONEY IN THE PURCHASE OF A VEHICLE AND IN RETURN WE GET A PIECE OF JUNK. I NEED HELP.

2011 GMC TERRAIN. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE TIRES DO NOT MATCH. *SMD

MY TERRAIN SHUT OFF THE FIRST TIME DAYS AFTER OIL CHANGE WHILE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT AND RUNNING FOR 5 MINUTES. DAYS LATER WHILE TURNING LEFT AT BUSY INTERSECTION TO ENTER EXPRESSWAY IT STALLED AND I BARELY ROLLED TO SIDE OF ROAD AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED. THEN A FEW DAYS LATER WHILE AT A BUS STOP AND READY TO ACCELERATE IT STALLED AGAIN. I HAD TO RESTART. DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY. HAD TO GET OVER $3000 IN WORK ON ENGINE.

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE THAT WAS NOT COVERED BY GMC UNDER ANY WARRANTY. ENGINE BLEW UP AND ALL THE OIL LEAKED OUT DUE TO THE HOLE THAT WAS FORMED IN THE.

TERRAIN WAS RECALLED FOR OIL CONSUMPTION AND WOULD STALL ABOUT 500-700 MILES AFTER OIL CHANGE BECAUSE OIL WAS AT LEAST 1 QUART LOW. THE DEALERSHIP FIXED IT WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL PARTS AND PUT LESS THAN 15 MILES AFTER THE FIX, THE TERRAIN FLAT OUT DIED IN AN INTERSECTION WHEN ATTEMPTING TO GO AT THE GREEN LIGHT. I ALMOST GOT T-BONED AND REAR ENDED BECAUSE I WAS AT THE END OF A GREEN LIGHT WITH A CAR BEHIND ME AND I COULDN'T GET IT STARTED BEFORE THE CROSS TRAFFIC'S LIGHT TURNED GREEN. DANGEROUS! I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TO BRING IT BACK. I'M JUST WORRIED BECAUSE I'M READING ABOUT SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH TERRAINS AND EQUINOXES HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH NO END IN SIGHT AND THE DEALERSHIPS NOT WANTING TO FIX THIS SERIOUS ISSUE. I CHECKED THE OIL WHEN I GOT IT OFF THE STREET BUT THE OIL WAS NOT LOW. IT HAS NEVER STALLED WHEN IT WAS GOOD ON OIL....THIS IS A BRAND NEW, DANGEROUS PROBLEM!
