2010 GMC TERRAIN Complaints

VERY INTENSE REFLECTION OF DASHBOARD IMAGE ONTO THE LOWER THIRD OF WINDSHIELD, CAUSING A REDUCTION IN VISIBILITY. THE REFLECTION IS VERY PRONOUNCED IN BRIGHT SUNLIGHT, AND IS SOMEWHAT REDUCED ON CLOUDY DAYS, BUT IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM IN ALL DAYLIGHT DRIVING SITUATIONS. ALSO I AM HAVING SOME INTERMITTENT REFLECTION OF CHROME PLATED PARTS IN THE INTERIOR, CAUSING VISIBILITY PROBLEMS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED SHE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR RECALL 09V489000 (VISIBILITY: DEFROSTER/ DEFOGGER SYSTEM, GM SAFETY RECALL #090298). THE SOFTWARE IN THE CENTER OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CAUSED THE HEATING, AIR CONDITIONING, DEFROST, AND RADIO CONTROLS, AS WELL AS THE PANEL ILLUMINATION TO FAIL.

THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO STATED THAT SOMEONE WOULD RETURN HER CALL ABOUT THE REPAIR COSTS. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 21,000

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) PURCHASED 2010 GMC TERRAIN VIN [XXX] FEB 20, 2010. AT TEST DRIVE NOTED LOW HEAD RESTRAINT LOCATION AT FULL UP EXTENSION= UNCOMFORTABLE TO BACK BONE, AND HEAD. AFTER PURCHASE NOTED THAT GM SUPPLIED OWNERS MANUAL FOR THIS NEW MODEL US CAR SECTION 2-2 HAD DESCRIPTION (WARNING NOTATION & PICTURE DIAGRAM OF THE PROPER ADJUSTMENT), BUT DUE TO THE RESTRAINTS DESIGN (TOO SHORT OF NOTCHED EXTENSION RODS) THE SAFE, AND COMFORTABLE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT CANNOT BE ACHIEVED. CURRENTLY I HAVE EXTENDED THE DRIVERS UNIT ABOUT 2 1/2 INCHES ABOVE ITS HIGHEST LOCKING POSITION (TAPED IN PLACE) WHICH BRINGS IT CLOSE TO THE DEPICTION IN THE MANUAL = A COMFORTABLE DRIVING POSITION.

CUSTOMERS SUPPORT, AND FINALLY 3.EXECUTIVE OFFICES DETROIT ONLY TO BE TOLD IN A PHONE CALL 5-26-10 THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR MY CONCERN, AND THAT THE OPERATIONS OWNERS MANUAL MY NOT REFLECT CORRECTLY THE DESIGN OF THE HEAD RESTRAINT PLACEMENT. THIS COMMENT WAS REPEATED BY THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP IN HIS STATEMENT TO ME THAT MY ACTIONS WERE NOT SAFE, AND THAT HE WAS SURE THERE WAS PROBABLY A DISCLAIMER IN THE OWNERS MANUAL PRINTING. *TR
