FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS THERE HAS BEEN A STEADY INCREASE IN CARBON MONOXIDE LEAK IN THE CABIN OF MY VEHICLE. INITIALLY I THOUGHT IT WAS SOMETHING THAT WILL GO AWAY BUT FOR SOME MONTHS NOW THE LEAK HAS BEEN GROWING. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY WINDOWS DOWN JUST TO BE ABLE TO BREATHE IN MY VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE. I HAVE KEPT A CLEAN MAINTENANCE RECORD OF THIS VEHICLE. I AM A DISABLED VETERAN WITH TBI AND PTSD AND THE FUMES FROM THE CARBON MONOXIDE IN MY VEHICLE IS CAUSING MY MIGRAINES TO INTENSIFY. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE I DIE BEHIND THE WHEEL ONE DAY DRIVING IN MY VEHICLE. AS SOON AS I TURN THE VEHICLE ON, THE CARBON MONOXIDE FILLS THE CABIN UP.

3 YEARS OLD NOW AND STILL GETTING AROUND 10MPG AND FROM THE FIRST DAY I GOT IT IN 2014 THE DRIVE SHAFT IS RUSTED AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. I ALSO NOTICE THAT WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THAT THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE NOT MADE TO SEE STREET NAME SIGNS I HAVE TO USE THE HIGH BEAMS TO SEE IF I HAVE THE RIGHT STREET WHEN LOOKING FOR THE PLACE I HAVE TO GO.

PURCHASED A 2014 GMC TERRAIN CERTIFIED FROM A DEALER AND IT HAD VISIBLE RUST ON DRIVERS SIDE REAR PASSENGER DOOR HEM.

THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE VENTS TO CIRCULATE HEAT/AC IN THE BACK SEAT. MAIN ISSUE IS IN THE SUMMER. MY TODDLER SON IS USUALLY SWEATING AND IN DISTRESS BECAUSE HE IS SO HOT. DESPITE HAVING THE A/C ON LOWEST TEMP, AND BLOWING AT THE HIGHEST SPEED, IT STILL DOES NOT CIRCULATE VERY WELL THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. SO, I'M FREEZING WHILE MY SON IS BURNING UP. MAKES TRAVELING DIFFICULT WITH AN UPSET CHILD. COME ON, GM, SMARTEN UP. YOU'RE BETTER THAN THIS.

IN OCTOBER 2015, I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE IN A RURAL AREA, AND ACCELERATED TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY PASSING SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 80 MPH. I MERGED BACK INTO THE RIGHT LANE AFTER PASSING, AND LET MY FOOT OFF THE GAS. CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ENGAGED. THE CAR CONTINUED AT THE PASSING SPEED, AND STARTED TO INCREASE IN SPEED. I WAITED A FEW SECONDS TO SEE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN BEFORE TAKING EVASIVE ACTION; AS THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS ON THE HIGHWAY AT THIS POINT. FOR 4-5 SECONDS THIS CONTINUED. I TAPPED THE BRAKE AND NO CHANGE WAS DETECTED. I THEN TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL; AND THE SPEED DISENGAGED. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER; DIAGNOSTIC WAS RUN AND THEY COULD NOT DETECT A PROBLEM. DEALER WAS OF THE OPINION THAT THIS EVENT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE DRIVE TRAIN, THEY DROVE THE CAR BUT WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS ALL SEEMED TO INDICATE THAT CRUISE CONTROL WAS ON; HOWEVER I AM SURE IT WAS NOT.
