2011 GMC Terrain Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND DID NOT ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE TOTAL CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A VERY HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION AND NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,715.

MY TERRAIN HAS 104,000 MILES I WAS DRIVING IT WHEN THE TIMING BELT BROKE AND DESTROYED THE ENGINE. THE MECHANIC SAYS IT WAS DUE TO LACK OF OIL CHANGES BUT THAT IS A LIE BECAUSE I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP EVERY TIME AND I HAD ON STAR ACTIVE SO THE COULD REMIND ME TOO I BROUGHT IT TO BARKER GMC IN YOU MA LA THEY HAVE A RECORD OF MY SERVICE.I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT STARTED SHAKING AND IT JUST QUIT WORKING WENT COMPLETELY OUT I HAD TO HAVE IT TOW AWAY.I EVEN CALLED GM MOTOR WITH NO RESULTS NOW IT WIL COST OVER 7000.00 FOR A NEW MOTOR I JUST FINISHED PAYING FOR MY CAR I CAN'T AFFORD THIS PLEASE. HELP

The original Engine blew a piston rod and cracked my engine in the middle of the freeway , had to have vehicle towed to a shop and whole engine replaced with a new one. This could have caused a huge accident or even caught fire. I had no previous issue or light on the engine prior to this happening. Oil had been changer regularly , Tune ups, and any additional required maintenance, The Manufacturer has not wanted to take any responsibility or assist in compensating any of the cost . I have been fighting this for well over 2 years

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN THE CAR STARTED MAKING A HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE. I THOUGHT MY WHEEL WAS COMING DETACHED FROM THE CAR. HAD THE CAR TOWED AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY FRONT DIFFERENTIAL "EXPLODED". NOT A HAPPY CAMPER, BOUGHT 2ND HAND, HAS 77,000 MILES NOW COSTING ME 2500.00 TO 5000.00 TO REPAIR. SAD THING IS, IS WE NEVER USE THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE.

THE CAR WAS TAKEN INTO STEVEN LUST AUTOMOTIVE AND WE WERE TOLD THAT A TRANSFER SEAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT GMC WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT WOULD ONLY WARRANTY THE ISSUE IF THE CAR WAS PRODUCED IN A CERTAIN FACTORY. SAME YEAR SAME MODEL ALL HAVING SAME ISSUE BUT PRODUCED IN A DIFFERENT PLANT. NOW THE STABILILTRAC WARNING COMES ON AND FROM RESEARCH ON THE WEB THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF ALSO BUT REFUSE TO FIX. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 66000 MILES ON IT. WE ALSO CONTACTED GMC AND THEY TOLD US THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT WARRANTY IT UNLESS IS WAS PRODUCED AT A CERTAIN FACTORY. WHEN THE STABILITRAC WARNING WAS NOTED I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT DOWN. I DO BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE OIL LEAK COMING FROM THE SEAL. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT I HAVE PLACED THIS COMPLAINT. WHEN I CALLED TO CONFIRM THAT I PLACED THE COMPLAINT NO ONE COULD FIND IT.

I PURCHASED A 2011 TERRAIN NOT KNOWING THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE CALLED GMC FOR A FIX AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT NHSA IS THE ONE WHO DECIDES WHAT VIN # GET A LETTER TO GET THE MOTOR FIXED. I DISAGREE WITH THIS SINCE FIR THE OTHER VIN# ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WHY WOULD YOU NOT INCLUDE ALL MODELS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE? MY QUESTION IS HOW CAN I GET THIS RESOLVED TO GET GMC TO SEND ME THE LETTER THAT OTHERS HAVE RECEIVED REGARDING THIS ISSUE?

IGNITION COMPLETELY TURNED OFF, I PUSH BUTTON TO TURN ON RADIO AND I HEAR SEVERAL TAP, TAP, TAP, TAP BEHIND MID-DASH RADIO-CD, A.C, HEAT CONTROL UNIT. I'M SURE THE TAP, TAP, TAP, TAP NOISE IS DOOR TO AIR RECIRCULATION/NO RECIRCULATION DOOR THAT SOMEHOW ACTIVATES UNIT ACTUATOR JUST BY TURNING ON RADIO! UNBELIEVABLE! ALSO, WHEN I NEED TO DEFROST WINDSHIELD I TURN TEMP KNOB TO COLD AND THE TAP, TAP, TAP, TAP NOISE HAPPENS! I DO NOT TURN ON A/C COMPRESSOR. AGAIN, UNBELIEVABLE!! THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT FOR SURE. I'M SURE THAT TO DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THE STEERING WHEEL, DASH MUST BE REMOVED SO TECH,. CAN GAT TO MIS-DESIGNED PARTS. NO CUSTOMER SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS KIND OF DESIGN DEFECT. I WANT GMC TO OAY TO SOLVE THEIR DESIGN DEFECT!!! THIS DEFECT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TURN ON RADIO OF DO A COLD DEFROST. PROBLEM HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED OR WHEN NO KEY IN IGNITION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE AS LISTED IN THE MANUFACTURER SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT (PLUGGED PCV ORIFICE IN INTAKE MANIFOLD SB-10057977-8108, BULLETIN NO. 14882). BOB BROWN BUICK GMC (1405 SE ORALABOR RD, ANKENY, IA 50021, (515) 344-3574) DIAGNOSED THAT THE REAR MAIN SEAL FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED SINCE IT WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE MANUFACTURER SERVICE CAMPAIGN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000. *TT CONSUMER STATED DESIGN IS FLAWED AND NOT REPAIRED.*JB

THE GMC JERKS FORWARD AND IT ALMOST HIT PERSON IN FRONT. THEN WHEN IT SHIFT FROM 2ND TO 1ST IT JERKS DOWN INTO A STALL. SOMEONE COULD REAR END ME. BECAUSE OF THE SUDDENNESS OF THE STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED OPERATING WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT EXITED THE FREEWAY, PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND WAITED FOR THE RAIN TO STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 117,100.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH IN THE RAIN, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS ZERO VISIBILITY TO VIEW THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUN BUICK PONTIAC GMC (4230 BIRNEY AVE, MOOSIC, PA 18507, (570) 456-6828) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE WIPERS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,975.

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME ON THE INTERSTATE DRIVING 55 IN THE POURING RAIN WHEN MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING!! MY BOYFRIEND GOT MY VEHICLE HOME AND DETERMINED WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. EASY FIX. BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT! I WAS PUT IN AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME! I CALLED GM AND THEY SAID "WELL AT LEAST NO ONE WAS INJURED" WHICH, YES I AM THANKFUL NO ONE WAS INJURED.. HOWEVER, THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT THEY CARE NOTHING ABOUT! IT NEEDS TO BE HANDLED...

VEHICLE WAS FINANCIAL 18 MONTHS AGO, ON THURSDAY, JULY 26 APPROXIMATELY 11P.M. I HEARD RACING OF THE MOTOR AND WHEN I APPROACHED THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AT A MAIN HIGHWAY, THE CAR STOPPED MOVING JUST RACING OF THE MOTOR WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PETAL IN GEAR THEN L MOVED THE GEAR IN REAR WITH NO MOVEMENT THEN MOVED THE GEAR BACK TO DRIVE WITH NO MOVEMENT. THE CAR DIAGNOSIS CODES ARE PO700 AND PO796 I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AFTER ONLY HAVING THE TERRAIN 1.5 YEARS WITH AN ONGOING PAYMENT. THIS WAS MY DREAM CAR.

ENGINE PROBLEM

AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THIS EVENING ON A HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 6:15PM IT STARTED TO POUR DOWN RAIN. DUE TO THE RAIN I WAS GOING ABOUT 45 MPH. I TURNED MY WIPERS ON THE HIGHEST SPEED POSSIBLE. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES THEY INSTANTLY STOPPED WORKING AND WERE STUCK IN THE VERTICAL POSITION. THE WIPERS WOULD NOT MOVE IN MY ATTEMPTS TO CUT THEM ON AND OFF AGAIN. IT WAS TRULY TERRIFYING. BETWEEN THE RAIN, THUNDER, LIGHTNING AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE I WAS REALLY IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD WITHOUT INJURING MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE FORTUNATELY. I HAD TO SIT THERE AND WAIT FOR IT TO STOP RAINING BEFORE I COULD GO HOME. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT YOU ARE AWARE OF. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT GMC, IN MY OPINION, IS RESPONSIBLE FOR. I'M SHOCKED THAT WHEN I SEARCHED ONLINE REGARDING THIS ISSUE THAT I SAW NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. I CAN NOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW DANGEROUS THIS ISSUE IS. I TRULY FEEL THAT ALL TERRAIN OWNERS NEED TO BE MADE AWARE OF THIS. I ALSO FEEL THAT THIS IS SERIOUS ENOUGH THAT YOUR DEPARTMENT NEEDS TO CONDUCT A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL INITIATED SINCE THERE IS APPARENTLY A RECALL ON THESE SAME VEHICLES IN CANADA. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR TIME REGARDING THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE.

EXCESSIVE OIL USE. 1 QT OF OIL EVERY 300 TO 500 MILES. I HAVE 104,600 MILES ON CAR. ALSO HAD TIMING CHAIN FAILURE AT 95,212 MILES WHILE DRIVING. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND THE CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. MY ENGINE IS A 2.4 ECO

AIG BAG WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON DURING HUMID CONDITIONS.

WAS EXITING OFF A HIGHWAY RAMP WHEN MY CAR WOULDN'T GET ANY POWER TO GO. COME TO FIND OUT THE TCM WENT OUT IN THE TRANSMISSION

GOT INTO CAR ONE DAY AND THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT HAD DROPPED TO IT'S LOWEST POSITION. SAW THAT A BOLT THAT AIDS THE SEAT RISER MECHANISM HAD FALLEN OUT. VERY DANGEROUS IF HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ABLE TO MANUALLY SCREW IT BACK IN.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS QUIT WHILE EXITING AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY RAMP (I-94) IN PORT HURON, MI. WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF A TORRENTIAL RAIN STORM WITH VERY LOW VISIBILITY AND THE LOSS OF WIPERS CREATED A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE WIPER LINKAGE HAD DISENGAGED AND FALLEN OFF. THE WIPER LINKAGE/TRANSMISSION REQUIRED FOR REPAIR IS ACDELCO PART# DEL 84241847. WE PURCHASED IT AT A COST OF $66.69 AND IT WAS INSTALLED BY A FAMILY MEMBER.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE WITH NO WARNING, TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACEMENT $3,500 AROUND 120K MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED SUCCESFULLY SINCE 100K MILES. CODE P0420 WITH NO CATALYTIC CONVERTER ISSUES. EVERY O2 SENSOR REPLACED, CODE WILL NOT CLEAR. STALLS WITHOUT ANY WARNING, LOW RPM, ROUGH IDLES, ENGINE JUST SHUTS DOWN. NO DASH INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WHEN FAILURE OCCURS. RESTARTS. OIL MUST BE CHANGED EARLY AS IT SEEMS TO CONSUME TOO MUCH. UNDIAGNOSABLE. HAVE BEEN TOLD BY EVERY MECHANIC IT COULD BE COMPUTER RELATED, TIMING CHAIN RELATED, REGARDLESS THIS 4CYL GMC HAS TOO MANY COMPLAINTS FOR YHEAE ISSUES NOT TO HAVE A RECALL. IT IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS WHEN RANDOM ENGINE FAILURE OCCURS AND I HAVE HAD MORE CLOSE CALLS FEARING FOR MY LIFE IN THIS VEHICLE THAN I CAN RECALL AT THIS POINT. I HAVE SPENT ALMOST THE VALUE OF THIS VEHICLE IN MAJOR REPAIRS IN THE YEAR I HAVE OWNED IT.

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF THE OWNER OF A 2011 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND SERVICED STABILITY TRACK WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT REMOVED THE ECM AND REPLACED THE MODULE PRIOR TO RESTARTING THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO JOE MAHAN FOR (211 MEMORIAL DR, PARIS, TN 38242, (731) 642-4711) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND SCHEDULE A VEHICLE INSPECTION. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE EXHAUST CYLINDER AND HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 141,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ABS GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING...BRAKES SHUTTER. SPEED SENSOR PROBLEM

ABS LIGHT IS ON EVEN AFTER FIXING THE SUPPOSED PROBLEM. SYSTEM STABILITRAK CONSTANTLY ON. EXCESSIVE USE OF OIL. 2 TO 3 QUARTZ EVERY 2 WEEKS. REDUCED ENGINE POWER COMES UP ON DASH AND NO MATTER HOW FAST I AM GOING (15 MPH OR 80 MPH ON A HIGHWAY) IT DOESNT MATTER MY CAR WILL SLOW DOWN OR JUST SHUT OFF. ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I HAVE TO HIT BRAKED HARD, SLOW DOWN OR ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION. I AM ALSO USING A LOT OF GAS.

STALLS WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR LETTING OFF ACCELERATION... LOSES ALL POWER STEERING, ABS BRAKING. DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS AS IT HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED. HIGHWAY, CITY STREET, TURNING, ETC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS INTERNAL OIL CONSUMPTION FAILURE CONCERNING THE ENGINE, WHICH AFFECTED OTHER COMPONENTS IN THE VEHICLE. THE INDEPENDENT FACILITY WHO SOLD THE VEHICLE TO THE CONTACT WAS TO HAVE THEIR MECHANIC PROVIDE AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST; HOWEVER, THEY INDICATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD A SPECIAL COVERAGE CAMPAIGN TO PROVIDE A REMEDY. THE DEALER (MANDAL BUICK GMC IN D'LBERVILLE, MS 39540, (228) 392-1515) WAS CONTACTED AND INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY TWO MONTHS. THE DEALER WAS TO PROVIDE AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AS WELL; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT HAD NOT APPROVED THE DEALER TO PROVIDE THE TESTING DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING EXCLUDED FROM A WARRANTY CAMPAIGN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT PROVIDED NO SPECIFIC TESTING RECOMMENDATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

AFTER A 2 HOUR HIGHWAY DRIVE I NOTICED THE VEHICLE BEGAN RUNNING LOUD, A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AS I WAS GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER PARKING AND SHUTTING THE VEHICLE DOWN AND LETTING IT REST, I WENT TO RESTART IT. AGAIN IT WAS STILL LOUD BUT QUICKLY SHUT ITSELF OFF AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP. UPON INSPECTION, THE TIMING CHAIN WENT OUT CAUSING, TO QUOTE THE SERVICE MANAGER, "CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE" THAT WAS WELL BEYOND ABLE TO BE REPAIRED.

MY CAR WILL STOP WHILE IM DRIVING AND I DIDNT GET THE PROPER DIGNOSTICS OF WHY IT WAS DOING THAT, THEY JUST TOLD ME TO SWITCH MY GAS TO PREMIUM. & THEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON . BUT NOW MY ENGINE POWER IS IN REDUCED AND I DONT UNERDSTAND WHY EITHER. I HAVENT HAD THIS TRUCK FOR A YEAR AND ITS BEEN GIVING ME PROBLEMS SINCE I GOT IT.

WHILE DRIVE DOWN THE INTERSTATE MY CAR SAID SERVICE STABILITY TRACK THEN SAID ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SPEED DROPPED DRAMATICALLY THEN SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN BACK OVER. HAD IT TOWED TO THE SHOP ONLY TO FIND OUT THE ENGINE LOCKED UP DUE TO NO OIL. DEALER SAID IT WAS DUE TO A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION! I HAD MY OIL CHANGED AND A FULL TUNE UP 2 WEEKS AGO! CALLED TO CHECK RECALLS ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT IN FACT THERE WAS AN RECALL FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION BUT MY VIN WASN'T INVOLVED. DEALER SAYS IN FACT IT SHOULD BE! THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A ACCIDENT AND CAUSED MY CHILDREN AND I TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED!

VEHICLE CONSUMES 2 QUARTS OF ALL EVERY 1500 MILES ONLY HAD THE TRUCK FORA YEAR AND A HALF. ALSO IT HAS THIS TERRIBLE RATTLING NOISE.

GAS STATION PUMP WILL NOT STAY ON WHEN REFUELING

DASH BOARD CRACKING. I HAVE A CRACK THROUGH THE DASH AT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ANOTHER DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER. SHOULD THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOY, PIECES OF THE BROKEN DASH COULD INCREASE THE POSSIBILITY OF FURTHER INJURY

THE AIRBAG READINESS LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED AND "SERVICE AIR BAG" MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR THIS ON 2011 GMC TERRAINS BUT WHEN I LOOKED IT UP IT SAYS MY VEHICLE ISN'T COVERED IN THE RECALL. I'M PRETTY SURE THAT THIS, IN COMBINATION WITH THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL, HAS AFFECTED MORE GMCS THAN THE COMPANY CARES TO ADMIT. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ALL 2011 GMC TERRAINS. THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT AND AIR BAG WARNING BELL CONSTANTLY COME ON WHILE I'M DRIVING MY CAR. IT COMES ON WHEN I START THE CAR AND CONTINUES TO GO ON AND OFF THE ENTIRE TIME I'M DRIVING.

EXHAUST FUMES ARE ENTERING THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE AIR VENTS, GETS WORSE WHEN IDLING. SEATBELT DOES NOT BUCKLE.

I BOUGHT A USED 2011 GMC TERRAIN WITH A CLEAN CARFAX AND 35000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. THE CAR BURN AT LEAST A QUART OF OIL EVERY 2 WEEKS. THE CONSTANTLY JUST CUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING. GMC NEEDS TO DO SOMETIME ABOUT THIS BEFORE PEOLPE ARE KILLED.

THIRD ENGINE IN VEHICLE. NEEDS 2 QUARTS OF OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGE. OIL LIGHT NEVER COMES ON.

I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES MAKING NOISE SO I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE, I WAS TOLD THE BRAKES WAS FINE; HOWEVER THE NOISE CONTINUED AND A MONTH LATE I TOOK IT BACK AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED PADS, ROTORS AND THAT THE LEFT CV AXLE WAS RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. 2 DAYS LATER I WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS READY AND THAT THE CV AXLE WAS REPLACED. I LEFT AND WITHIN 30 MINUTES AS I WAS ABOUT TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY, I HEARD A POP AND LOSE ALL CONTROL OF THE TERRAIN, MY THE ONLY WAY I COULD STOP THE VEHICLE WAS BY PLACING THE EMERGENCY BRAKES, THE CAR WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE. I PUT IT IN PARKED AND IT CONTINUE TO ROLL UNTIL I TURNED IT OFF. EVEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER STATED THAT THE CAR WAS ROLLING IN THE PARK POSITION. I'M THANKFUL THAT I AND MY KIDS WERE NOT KILLED BECAUSE I LITERALLY HAD NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. NOW THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD THE NEW CV AXLE WAS MALFUNCTIONED. HONESTLY, I'M STILL PAYING FOR THIS VEHICLE AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE REMAINED RUNNING BUT ABRUPTLY STOPPED. I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND WITH SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. IT LEFT ME STRANDED ON A 2 LANE ROAD UNABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE LANE. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR CUT OFF AS SOON AS I SLOWED DOWN GETTING OFF THE EXIT. I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND IT SAID THAT THE STABILITRACK WAS OFF AND THAT I WAS LOSING ENGINE POWER. I GOT TO SAFETY, CHECKED MY FLUIDS AND I HAD NO OIL IN THE CAR. BUT I CHANGED THE OIL RECENTLY AND HAD 3,000 MORE MILES TILL MY NEXT OIL CHANGE. I TOWED THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND DESCRIBED WHAT HAPPENED. HE TOLD ME THAT THEIR WAS AN INTERNAL ENGINE FAILURE THAT CAUSED THE TIMING BELT TO BREAK. I CALLED MY INSURANCE AND THEY HAD A FIELD ADJUSTER LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND HE NOR THE MECHANIC COULD FIGURE OUT WHY OR HOW THIS HAPPENED ON SUCH A WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE. THEY BOTH STATED THAT THERE IS NO WAY THAT I SHOULD HAVE HAD 2 MAJOR SYSTEM FAILURES (I JUST REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION) WITH THE CURRENT VEHICLE MILEAGE. I CALLED GMC AND THEY WILL NOT SO ANYTHING TO HELP ME. THEIR ONLY SOLUTION IS FOR ME TO TOW IT TO A GMC DEALERSHIP AND THEY WILL LOOK AT IT. I COULD'VE DIED IN THIS CAR, I STILL OWE ON THIS CAR AND THEY WON'T HELP ME.

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND THE STABILITRAC WORDS CAME UP ON MY DASH. THEN IT SAID POWERING DOWN. THEN MY VEHICLE STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AND I PULLED OVER AND SHUT IT OFF. I WAITED A MINUTE AND SHUT OFF TRACTION CONTROL BUTTON. THEN STARTED AGAIN AND A FEW MINUTES LATER THE WORDS CAME ON AGAIN AND IT STARTED RUNNING ROUGH. I SHUT IT OFF AGAIN AND WAITED AND GOT IT HOME SLOWLY ABOUT 3 MILES.

Engine has had High Oil consumption for years I been changing oil every 1500 to 2000 miles, My GMC dealer nor did GMC inform me that there is an issue with this vehicle even when i had an extended warranty and the car has been in for service many times at my local dealership for it. now it will cost as much as a new engine to fix. GMC needs to make there products better and honor there mistakes,

I SMELLED FUMES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT GO ON. I BROUGHT TO MY MECHANIC WHO SAID IT HAD A CRACKED EXHAUST MANIFOLD. CO IS LEAKING INTO MY CAR. I WILL PAY $1000 TO HAVE THIS FIXED. NO ACCIDENTS. JUST A FAINT SMELL OF GAS. I HAVE 2 KIDS AND ROUTINELY BRING OTHER PEOPLES' KIDS INTO MY CAR. UNACCEPTABLE GMC.

ENGINE HAS BURNED 2QT. OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGE WHICH I DIDN'T KNOW. ENGINE SEIZED UP. IT JUST STOPPED. HAD IT TOW TO DEALER THEY WANT 9000.00 DOLLARS TO FIX. STILL HAVE SUV BUT DOSE NOT RUN. DO BUY GMC TERRAIN .

CATALYTIC CONVERTER RECALL. I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE MY 2011 GMC TERRAIN FOR ABOUT A 7 MONTHS NOW. BACK IN NOVEMBER OF 2017, SO I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AT THAT TIME, I TOOK MY TERRAIN IN FOR A REGULARLY SECHEDUALED OIL CHANGE. WHILE GETTING MY OIL CHANGED I ASKED IF THEY COULD LOOK AT MY CAR TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THEY SAID I HAD A LEAK IN MY EXHAUST AND THAT MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS BROKEN. I WAS LOOKING UP PRICES TO GET THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER CHANGED AND SAW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR IT AND CALLED MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT MORE. I AM NOW AT 123000 MILES, SO THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT I WAS OVER THE ALLOWED MILES OF 120,000. I SWITCHED P.O. BOXES AND NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER LETTING ME KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL. I DO HAVE THE PAPER SAYING THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS BROKEN AND AT THE TIME I HAD 119,856 MILES WHICH IS JUST UNDER THE 120,000 MILE MARK, AND THAT WAS AFTER ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF OF ISSUE WITH MY TERRAIN. I WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU WOULD HONOR THE RECALL SINCE I HAVE THE DOCUMENT STATING I WASN'T AT 120,000 MILES AND THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS BROKEN, THE DOCUMENT IS INCLUDED IN THE PICTURE BELOW.

VEHICLE(AUTOMATIC) WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING, HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES ON FREEWAY. MECHANICS ARE NOT DISCOVERING ANY ISSUES, VEHICLE HAS REGULAR MAINTENANCE. THERE HAS BEEN TIMES WHERE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE AND WOULD JERK THEN SHUT OFF, IT SEEMS THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH GEARS/TRANSMISSION. HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND THERE ARE MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS OF STALLING VEHICLES WHILE DRIVING.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVE A NOTICE STATING THAT TAKATA IS FILING CHAPTER 11 AND ON THE NOTICE IT TELLS ME TO CALL MY GM DEALER AND HAVE MY AIRBAGS REPLACED, AFTER CONTACTING MY SELLING DEALER ON 11/2/2017 I WAS TOLD THAT GM IS NOT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE TODAY AND THEY WILL NOTIFY ME WHEN THE MATTER IS SETTLED, I'AM GETTING TWO DIFFERENT STORIES, WHAT I S THE REAL STORY, PLEASE LET ME KNOW, THANK YOU

VEHICLE KEEPS SHUTTING OFF WHEN DRIVING. I WAS AT STOP SIGN VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF I STARTED IT BACK AND TRY TO GO PARK IT BACK HOME IT SHUT OFF 4 TIMES BEFORE IT GOT IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE TRUCK RECENTLY DID THE SO SAMETHING TWO WEEKS AGO AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I JUST RECENTLY GOT THE FUEL PUMP CHANGED, THIS IS WHEN THE ISSUE STARTED RIGHT AFTER HAVING THE FUEL PUMP CHANGED. WE WENT BACK TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND HAD THEM CHECK THE FUEL PUMP BUT I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS ON PROPERLY. THERE ARE NO INDICATORS THAT POP UP, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IF ON BUSY HIGHWAYS/INTERSTATES.

MY DASHBOARD CRACKED FOR THE SECOND TIME. I ALREADY REPLACED IT THE FIRST TIME IT CRACKED JANUARY 2015. IT HAS CRACKED FOR THE SECOND TIME. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS A DEFECT IN THIS PART FOR IT TO HAPPEN 2 TIMES SINCE 2011. I CAN NOT BRING MYSELF TO PAY FOR THIS AGAIN AS IT COST AROUND $1,000.

I PURCHASED MY CAR USED IN SEPTEMBER TWO WEEKS LATER I STARTED EXPERIENCING STALLING AND ERRATIC JERKING WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR (WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY) AND WAS TOLD NOT TO WORRY IT'S JUST THE O2 SENSORS. THE CAR WAS LOOSING OIL LIKE CRAZY. DECEMBER THE CAR BECAME WORSE AND STALLED AND WOULD NOT START. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME I NEED A NEW ENGINE, I AM NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND STILL PAYING FOR THIS CAR. NO ONE WILL HELP ME SO NOW I'M STUCK WITH A PAYMENT AND AN INOPERABLE CAR.. OH DID I MENTION I GOT A CAR FAX ONCE THE CAR BROKE DOWN TO SEE THE VEHICLE HISTORY THE TITLE IS BRANDED MANUFACTOR BUY BACK/LEMON.. I HAVE SEEN ON SEVERAL FORUMS AND GOOGLE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED AND GM WILL NOT DO A RECALL THIS ISSUE IS TOTALLY UNSAFE AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.

THE BELT NEEDED TO FASTEN IN MY GRANDSONS CARSEAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BACK SEAT DID NOT HOLD WHILE MAKING A SHARP LEFT OR RIGHT TURN. THE SEAT SLID OVER SIDE WAYS. THERE IS NO UPPER STABLIZING DEVICE TO KEEP THE SEAT FROM TILTING TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. I LIVE IN LADYLAKE AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE PULL OUT IN FRONT OF YOU AND WHILE THIS HAPPENED TO ME AND I HAD TO VEAR TO THE RIGHT MY GRANDSON SLID SIDEWAYS CARSEAT AND ALL, SCARED MY GRANDBABY.
