2010 GMC TERRAIN Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS AND GAUGES FLASHED. CADILLAC VERA PEMBROOKE PINES (954-517-7827, 300 SOUTH UNIVERSITY DRIVE, PEMBROKE PINES, FL 33025) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT WAS NOT AUTHORIZED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. IN ADDITION, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO GAIN SPEED WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS IN MY 2010 GMC TERRAIN MALFUNCTIONED (STOPPED WORKING) WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN AND TRAFFIC ON A HIGHWAY. DURING THE DOWNPOUR AND TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 45MPH, I SWITCHED MY WIPERS TO 'HIGH SPEED' AND IMMEDIATELY THE WIPERS HALTED IN THE UPPER LEFT POSITION, FAILING TO MOVE FROM THAT POINT. I EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LACK OF VISIBILITY AND HAD TO MANEUVER IN BETWEEN CARS TO GET SAFELY TO THE SHOULDER. I AM VERY LUCKY THIS DID NOT RESULT IN INJURY AND/OR A WRECK. FROM THAT POINT, I NEEDED TO WAIT UNTIL THE RAIN STOPPED AS HIGH SPEED CARS PASSED ME ON THE SHOULDER, GIVEN MY WIPERS WOULD NOT MOVE - DESPITE THE BATTERY/ENGINE/CAR RUNNING APPROPRIATELY OTHERWISE. FROM INTERNET RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON (AND VERY DANGEROUS) PROBLEM, WHERE THE PLASTIC SOCKET (OR LINKAGE) OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DETACHES IN HIGH VELOCITY. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED - AS IT HAS BEEN IN CANADA.

TAKATA RECALL THE HEATER/DEFROSTER BLOWS COLD AIR INSTEAD OF HOT, SO WINDOWS WILL NOT DEFROST, AND THE RADIO PANEL LIGHTING KEEPS GOING OUT. THIS HAS BEEN A RECALL ON MY MAKE AND MODEL, BUT MY VIN NUMBER SHOWS NO RECALL.

THE WIPER FAILED IN THE MIDDLE OF A HEAVY STORM ON THE HIGHWAY. VEHICLE HAD TO BE PULLED OVER TO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND BECAME UNDRIVEABLE UNTIL THE RAIN SUBSIDED. THE WIPER FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE WIPER TRANSMISSION LINK BALL SEPARATING FROM ITS SOCKET. IT SEEMS TO BE THE IDENTICAL FAILURE COVERED BY THE GM RECALL ON 2013 GMC TERRAIN AND CHEVROLET EQUINOX CROSSOVERS(NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V582000). GM'S RECALL SHOULD INCLUDE 2010S AS WELL!

DRIVING HOME IN A TORRENTIAL RAIN STORM AND THE WIPERS SIMPLY STOP WORKING! I HAD MY SON IN THE CAR AND WAS TERRIFIED BECAUSE WE COULD NOT PULL OVER ON THE PARKWAY. UPRIGHT IN A VERTICAL POSITION WITH ZERO VISIBILITY NEARLY PLOWING INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WITH STANDSTILL TRAFFIC. MY ARM TRYING TO PUSH THE WIPERS TO MOVE ....NO RESPONSES!, I AM SO ANGRY WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED! I AM READING THESE REPORTS AND I AM LIVID THAT GMC HAS NOT RECALLED THIS VEHICLE!,,, WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR YOUR COMPANY TO RESPOND!,,,,,,
