2011 GMC TERRAIN Complaints

WHILE DRIVING MESSAGE READ REDUCED ENGINE POWER LOST ALL POWER COULD NOT CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL! THEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN AND CONTINUED TO ROLL DOWN THE HIGHWAY .ALMOST GOT HIT BY OTHER CARS FROM BEHIND. VERY FRIGHTENING FOR ME I ALMOST GOT A PANIC ATTACK. I MANAGED TO STOP THE CAR ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WITH HALF OF THE CAR STILL BLOCKING OTHER CARS .CAR WILL NOT START. THE BATTERY IS NEW .I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND THERE'S THOUSANDS OF GM CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE OR ARE FACING THE SAME ISSUES. IS THIS ANOTHER COVER UP BY GM THAT'S CONTINUOUSLY IGNORING THIS PROBLEM AND THE CONSUMERS ARE PAYING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN THIS REPAIR. I WAS TOLD I NEED REPAIRS THAT WILL COST $4000 DOLLARS ON A 2011 GMC TERRAIN CAR I GOT A YEAR AGO. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. WHO IS FIGHTING FOR THE CONSUMERS? *TR

MY GMC TERRAIN HAS STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 65-70MPH (I WASN'T TURNING, STOPPING, OR SWITCHING LANES). COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES.

PREVIOUS TIMES IT STALLED, AND I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND TURN IT BACK ON. TODAY (JANUARY 6TH, 2016) HOWEVER, IT WOULD NOT TURN ON. IT WOULD CRANK, BUT THAT'S IT. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAVE IT AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW.

CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN AND LOSES ALL POWER/ACTIVITY AFTER STARTING IT UP, PUTTING GEAR INTO DRIVE, AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE. WHEEL GETS STIFF AND CAR STOPS MOVING. THIS FIRST HAPPENED WITHIN A YEAR OF BUYING THE VEHICLE AND HAS HAPPENED A SECOND TIME MID OWNERSHIP. DURING THESE TIMES, THE CAR JUST WOULD NOT START FOR ABOUT 30 MINS TO AN HOUR. LATELY AND SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK NOW SINCE MID-OCTOBER, THE CAR WILL START BUT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN TO THE POINT WHERE THE CAR IS SHUTTING DOWN AT RED LIGHTS, STOP SIGNS AND ANYWHERE I HAVE TO STOP. IT MAY TAKE 3-5 TIMES TO REPEAT THE PROCESS OF STARTING THE CAR AND PUTTING IT BACK INTO DRIVE BEFORE IT DRIVES WITHOUT SHUTTING DOWN AND ME MAKING TO MY DESTINATION.

I HAD PURHASED A 2011 GMC TERRIAN AND HAVE GOTTEN THREE LETTERS SAYING DON'T BRING IN TO DEALER UNTIL THE PROBLEMS HAPPEN ONE SIDE -IMPACT CIRCUIT CAUSE-AIRBAG-READINESS LIGHT ILLUMINATE AND THE SERVICE AIR BAG MESSAGE TO DISPLAY. GMC EXTENED THE PROTECTION FOR 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES. THE SECOND THAT WAS SENT THE STEERING SAME PROTECTION AND THE THIRD LETTER FOR OIL CONSUMPTION WHICH IT IS DOING NOW. THIS NOT SAFE FOR MY WIFE AND ME OR THE ANY OTHER PASSENGERS. WHAT IS YOUR ADDVISMENTFOR ME.
