2010 GMC TERRAIN Complaints

I ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR JUST ABOUT ONE YEAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ENDED UP COMING ON AND I FOUND THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS THE CULPRIT. NO MATTER WHAT I DO THIS SENSOR COMES ON. NOW HERE RECENTLY, THE LIGHT TO CHECK THE AIRBAG SYSTEM HAS COME ON. I HAVE ONCE BEFORE CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE, BUT THERE SUPPOSEDLY WERE NONE, YET I SEE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES THAT I AM HAVING ON TOP OF THE DEFROST SYSTEM BEING NO GOOD. THIS CAR HAS COST ME MORE THAN IT IS WORTH AND SELLING IT WOULD JUST LEAVE ME WITH NOTHING BECAUSE I STILL OWE ON IT. I NEED FIXES AND ANSWERS BEFORE THIS THING ENDS UP IN FLAMES WHICH IS WHAT I FEAR EACH DAY I DRIVE IT. THIS BEGAN IN AUGUST OF LAST YEAR AND NOW I AM GETTING SCARED FOR MY LIFE.

2010 GMC TERRAIN WITH V6 LOSS OF POWER, ENGINE CODES TIMING ISSUE, CAMSHAFT SENSOR FAULT, CRANKSHAFT SENSOR FAULT. STABIL-TRACK FAULT. ROUGH IDLE, OIL CONSUMPTION. THE LIST GOES ON. THIS IS A COMMON THING WITH THESE ENGINES AND GM HAS DONE NOTHING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH THIS VEHICLE FOR AWHILE. STAY AWAY FROM GM VEHICLES THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCTS, I WILL BE BUYING A FORD AND I WILL TELL EVERYONE I KNOW!

IN SEPT. 2017, THE DEALER FIXED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER B/C IT WAS UNDER A "SPECIAL WARRANTY" FOR FREE HOWEVER I HAD TO PAY $582 TO REPLACE THE CRACKED MANIFOLD WHICH CAUSED THE CONVERTER ISSUE. I RECENTLY WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP B/C THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY HAVE TO FIX THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM THE IS UNDER A "SPECIAL COVERAGE" AND AGAIN I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR ANOTHER CRACKED MANIFOLD. I ASKED WHAT CAUSES IT AND WHY AND WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT KNOW BUT I BELIEVE IT MUST HAVE TO DO WITH THE ORIGINAL CATALYTIC CONVERTER ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A SPECIAL COVERAGE TO FIX THE CC HOWEVER SOMETHING MUST BE CAUSING IT TO FAIL AND GM IS AWARE OF IT.

ONE NIGHT MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ON A COUNTRY TWO LANE ROAD DURING A HEAVY RAIN STORM WHEN THE WIPERS SUDDENLY STOPPED IN THE STRAIGHT UP POSITION ALMOST OFF THE WINDSHIELD. IT IS ONLY BY GOD THAT SHE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE SHE HAD ZERO VISIBILITY. A SCARY SITUATION BECAUSE SHE WAS MEETING TRAFFIC AND BEHIND HER WAS AN 18 WHEELER BIG TRUCK AND OTHER VARIOUS VEHICLES. AS AN ADDED ISSUE SHE HAD NO PHONE RECEPTION TO CALL FOR HELP, DANGEROUSLY SITTING, BARELY OFF THE ROAD, ON THE 'SMALL' SHOULDER OF THAT TWO LANE ROAD AS A YOUNG WOMAN WITH NO HELP IN A HEAVY RAINSTORM. SHE HAD TO SIT AND WAIT UNTIL THE RAIN STOPPED TO PROCEED TO A SAFE AREA, FORTUNATELY WITHOUT AN INCIDENT, THANK GOD. UPON INSPECTION IT WAS NOTED THAT THE FAILURE OF THE WIPER SYSTEM WAS RELATED TO THE PLASTIC GROMMET COMING APART FROM THE METAL BALL IN WHICH IT WAS ATTACHED. POOR DESIGN SHOULD BE NOTED IN THAT THIS ATTACHMENT IS UPSIDE DOWN. A CONSTANT WEAR IS GOING TO TAKE PLACE BEING A PLASTIC GROMMET SURROUNDING A METAL BALL IN THE UPSIDE DOWN POSITION ALLOWING WATER AND DIRT TO ENTER THE JOINT FURTHER INCITING THE POSSIBILITY OF A DISLODGING IN THE FUTURE. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN OR WHERE THIS WILL HAPPEN, OR WHAT SITUATION YOU MIGHT BE IN, FURTHER PROMOTING THE POSSIBILITY FOR AN ACCIDENT AND SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THANKFULLY GOD GUIDED MY DAUGHTER TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND KEPT HER SAFE. IN ALL MY YEARS OF DRIVING I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS TYPE OF ISSUE BEING SO PREVALENT IN SO MANY MODEL YEARS, AND THE SAFETY CONCERNS ASSOCIATED WITH IT AND NO RECALL TO BE ISSUED BY THE MANUFACTURER! WAKE UP GM, LIVES ARE IMPORTANT TOO!

DRIVING AT 50 MPH IN POURING RAIN THE WINDSHIELD WIPER DETACHED AND GOT STUCK ON DRIVERSIDE OUTSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD WHILE ON HIGH SPEED. THIS RESULTED IN THE WIPERS NON MOVING AND STUCK UPWARD THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THANK GOD NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME OR THIS MAY HAD RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT AS I COULD NOT SEE A THING. I HAD TO LEAN OUT MY DRIVER SIDE WINDOW TO SEE A SPOT I COULD SAFETLY PULL OVER. AFTER I DISLODGE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WIPER BLADE THEY STILL WOULDN'T MOVE. MOTOR RUNS, BUT WIPER BLADES DON'T MOVE NOW.
