My wife was driving the vehicle and went over a bump and heard a bang come from the rear driver side of the vehicle . when i looked you could see the were the rear suspension bolts to the sub-frame was all rusted away, so i inspected the passenger side of the vehicle and it was almost like the drivers side. if the bushings were not tight that arm would have fallen down and it would have ripped the whole rear of the car out causing and accident were people would have been injured or killed.
Multiple times my gmc stalls while in movement. does it when i am making turns driving slow speeds or backing up. multiple times it has resulted in my vehicle almost being hit. big problem i am having as well is that oil seems to burn fast. i get my oil changes regularly but have to go back into shop between oil changes for them to put more oil in as its burning out so quickly. i am not leaking oil at all!! these two things have been a constant problem being a mom i am scared to have m uh kids in the car that it may malfunction while they are in it and result in an accident. recalls should be in place to fix these problems as they are serious problems.
Fuel pump problems. misfiring and shutting off.
The automatic lift gate will open, reach the top and then automatically go down. it will go half way , pop back open to the top then fully shut. it does not read that something is stopping it from closing. the enclave, traverse, acadia and outlook are currently under recall with the same issue but not the terrain.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
While i was driving 35-45 miles per hour the truck turned off on its own so i parked truck on the side of the road. i waited a few minutes and tried to turn vehicle on again, it turned on again and i continued driving 20-30 per hour. then after being stopped at a red light when it turned green i stepped on the gas and there was a loud sound plus we felt like it had jumped.
I have a 2011 gmc terrain with 59000 miles on it and the catalic convertor is rotting away and i was wondering if there was any other problems or if it will be covered
Liftgate not working. access to the back compartment is compromised as the liftgate does not work either using the wireless keys or pressing on the button to manually open the liftgate. the door continuously latches and makes it nearly impossible to open. i have to trick the timing and attempt to pull (using great force) before the liftgate will latch again. lots of force has to be used as compressed air makes it very difficult to lift and close the back liftgate. although gm has had nearly 900,000 vehicles recalls with the same problem, i was told my vehicle does not fall in this recall. please consider my 2011 gmc terrain as part of this recall, so i can get it repaired. thank you!
Exhaust manifold cracked between cylinders 2 and 3 upstream oxygen sensor from hot exhaust gases from the leak passing on the wires and heater element within the oxygen sensor and exhaust manifold top heat shield. carbon monoxide leaking through floor board
Was sold a vehicle with multiple mechanical problems with it within the first week of purchase as well as an open recall on this vehicle.
I bought my car used in 2014. there was no mention of the car burning so much oil! i put 3 qts in my car every 3 weeks! it burns oil like crazy!
Terrain was recalled for oil consumption and would stall about 500-700 miles after oil change because oil was at least 1 quart low. the dealership fixed it with the oil consumption recall parts and put less than 15 miles after the fix, the terrain flat out died in an intersection when attempting to go at the green light. i almost got t-boned and rear ended because i was at the end of a green light with a car behind me and i couldn't get it started before the cross traffic's light turned green. dangerous! i called the dealership and they said to bring it back. i'm just worried because i'm reading about several people with terrains and equinoxes having this same issue with no end in sight and the dealerships not wanting to fix this serious issue. i checked the oil when i got it off the street but the oil was not low. it has never stalled when it was good on oil....this is a brand new, dangerous problem!
Car completely shuts down and loses all power/activity after starting it up, putting gear into drive, and trying to accelerate. wheel gets stiff and car stops moving. this first happened within a year of buying the vehicle and has happened a second time mid ownership. during these times, the car just would not start for about 30 mins to an hour. lately and several times a week now since mid-october, the car will start but completely shut down to the point where the car is shutting down at red lights, stop signs and anywhere i have to stop. it may take 3-5 times to repeat the process of starting the car and putting it back into drive before it drives without shutting down and me making to my destination.
Opened remote lift gate it went up very fast then came down on top of my head leaving me with a very bad head ache. continues to do the same thing was checking to see if there was a recall on this problem
Noticed "check engine" light came on when i turned on the engine. since, i just bought the car the day before, i thought may be it need an oil change. so, i drove it but it stalled when i get to the stop sign in the parking lot. i turned the engine back on, drove about 15 miles and when i got to the traffic light, i slowed down to make a right (light was green), the car stalled and locked the steering wheel! i am thankful there was no car behind me. i just do not feel safe driving that car.
Since i first purchased the car, it has given nothing but issues, the ac went out while still under warranty, it was fixed so i thought, it broke down again and because i was unable to describe word by word, i was told it would not be covered since it was not the same issue and i no longer had the warranty. a mechanic told me that gmc installed really cheap ac compresors/unit and he has had a lot of customers with same issue. it is a shame that we pay so much money in the purchase of a vehicle and in return we get a piece of junk. i need help.
I bought a 2011 black slt terrain 4/11/11 and has had problems with the noise it makes along with the amount of gas it takes and uses which does not add up to what they are stating when promoting this vehicle. it also is very fragile. you can not lean, fall, or close the doors to hard or it will cave in or dent. i really expected this vehicle to be excellent in and out only to now want to trade it in for a buick lacrosse or lacern. my terrain has 5,100 miles on it. i believed i was purchasing a top of the line vehicle with all the bells and whistles and ended up paying for a lemon with no seeds inside. *tt
