Tl* the contact owns a 2011 gmc terrain. the contact stated that the driver was attempting to change a flat tire when the weight of the vehicle crushed the jack that was holding the vehicle up. the contact expressed concern because the jack that came with the vehicle was not adequate for the vehicle's weight. the vehicle was not taken to have the failure diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 14,000. the vin was unavailable.

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

The 4 phone system developed static either bluetooth connection or using the onstar phone system. over several months i changed phones at least 4 times. the static gets progessively worse as speed of the vehicle increase. at 70 miles per hour when a call is made from the vehicle the person on the other end can barely make out wha the person in the vehicle is saying. the vehicle has been in two separate dealerships. vcim and microphone have been replaced twice. gm customer service tells me that it is a technology issue and they are not responsible for it. gm did work on it right up to the 36,000mile bumper to bumper. it was then their "field engineer" declared the system operated fine and there was no problem. since then gm refuses to work on it. their "engineer" made 1 phone call from the car for less than 4 minutes but put 86 miles on it and left it out of gas. sitting still the system is static free. moving it is almost useless. this is the safety aspect that bothers me is we purchased vehicle ($31,000.00) for bluetooth handsfree and onstar both of which are nearly useless at speed and gm refuses to do anything about it. this has been ongoing for 1.5 years. i have spent countelss hundreds of dollars on different phones and my time trying to get this issue fixed. gm customer service is useless at any speed. if they advertise "handsfree and bluetooth" it should work. safety wise this is an issue because my wife has to resort to holding her phone while driving if she wants to be heard. i am afraid there is a more serious issue that will disable the onstar in an emergency. the public has been sold "technology" by all of the automakers. they tout it on tv but when it comes to it they won't fix it when it breaks. *tr
