When refueling vehicle at a gas station, at a full stop, with the engine turned off, the gasoline pump will not stay on while inserted into the fuel tank of my 2011 gmc terrain, no matter which fuel vendor i buy a fill up from. i have had this car for several years, and it has never worked properly. i decided to reach out to see if this is a normal issue for this vehicle. if it is not, then could this be a recall event? thanks for your helpfulness.
When inserting the gasoline pump's nozzle to refuel the vehicle, the nozzle does not lock into place during the pumping of gasoline. vehicle owner has to manually hold the fuel dispenser's handle to refuel their vehicle during the entire 16 gallon operation. there appears to be a part missing that would control the safe automatic refueling of this vehicle, but that part is not on my vehicle.
My gmc terrain 2011 is having trouble accelerating, and i hear a noise from the engine. when i am at a stop light and i try to accelerate, it pulls and doesn't go forward. it's stalking my terrain. i did some research, and i found that this vehicle has a recall #12313d- special coverage adjustment- engine balance chain and fuel pump. i looked up, and it seems this vehicle has 0 unclaimed recalls. so, i'm concern because this vehicle is stalling and not working as it should be. the recall does say, 'if left untreated, could cause the chain to break, leading to engine damaged.
Fuel pump problems. misfiring and shutting off.
Fuel pump failure allowing gasoline into crankcase in large volumes. rough idle, constant stalling, misfiring, fuel smell recirculating into cabin. exact issue addressed by gm recall for my exact terrain and equivalent chevy equinox with 2.4 ecotec. was told mine was not covered as it wasn't in correct vin range though same make, model, year, motor, highly dangerous combustible issue matched. dealer charged me $700+ for replacement/repair of fuel pump, both o2 sensors, fuel line, oil change to rid gas diluted oil. 2 days, 50 miles later, o2 code engine light comes on, erratic idling begins, power loss then stalls. removed oil cap to smell and find gasoline mixed back into oil. between 1/8 - 1/4 quart gasoline in the crankcase after 50 miles of driving! this after "repair" at "certified" chevy dealership; a dangerous manufacturing flaw gm acknowledged was a problem but i was told, " not on yours though, wrong vin". thank you for placing my loved ones in danger gm, refusing to fix your own recall, charging me over$700 to worsen the issue and place my family in greater danger.
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.
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.
Gas station pump will not stay on when refueling
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.
The engine will randomly stall and shut off. there are several complaints of you google the problem. this is a serious safety hazard.
The vehicle is consuming up to 2 qts of oil every 1000 miles. the low oil level light does not illuminate, even when the oil level falls below 2 qts low.
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.
Purchased my certified 2011 gmc terrain 7/12/2016. after driving a few days noticed car was stalling while accelerating or in stop and go traffic. (1st service) took it in 7/28/2016 to be serviced, was told it was the catalytic converter-vehicle was better, but still hesitates on take off (2nd service) took it in 11/10/2016 received the recall notice about the fuel pump. finally it seems to be driving better'for a couple of weeks (3rd service) took in 1/16/2017 to be serviced- car completely shut off on busy highway several times during morning rush hour (stop and go traffic), this time engine light came on. was told something to do with electrical programming communicating with the fuel pump?! as of today car is starting to stall and hesitate again. my certified warranty is up in 3/2017, my fear is next few incidents will not be covered. keep in mind i have not had this vehicle a year yet. i have a certified lemon. i deserve a refund/upgrade.
going to visit son, daughter in law and grandaughter in virginia from michigan. got reduced power message with stability control light. first time was without warning on the curvy hilly pennsylvania turnpike in traffic at appx 70 mph.. lost power on hill had no acceleration, vehicle decelerated in front of traffic. put on hazards and worked our way over to shoulder across 2 lanes of traffic. thank god this didn't cause a pileup of holiday travelers. stopped vehicle, engine was misfiring, there was no throttle response. shut off engine and restarted, power was back but check engine light is on. continued trip, 2nd incident was about 1 hour later also without warning. had about 5 incidents this trip.
While driving down a busy two lane road i pulled out into an intersection in an attempt to make a left hand turn when the car stalled in the middle of traffic. i turned the car off and turned it back on again and it worked. however, later that day it stalled again while it was sitting at an intersection. i brought it to the dealership for repair and they said it was not covered under warranty even though i still had one. they said there was a fuel leak at the fuel composition sensor. they replaced the sensor. gm extended special coverage # 17097 in may 1, 2017 for 2011-2013 chevy equinox and gmc terrains that are equipped with flex fuel due to a fuel leak at the fuel composition sensor but they did not include my 2011 model terrain that is not equipped with flex fuel but it should have been. this issue was out of my control as it was a manufacturing defect in the fact that they placed the composition sensor below the frame exposing it to damage from road debris.
Upon entering garage,smelled odor of gas by car...looked underneath,,small puddle of fuel,,closer examination found pinhole in rust patch on fuel line..other rust areas noticed,but this was only leak.corrosion is to be expected.but not to the point of failure after only 4 and one half years..car was bought new and well maintained ,also always garage kept.being out of warranty (of course!), i had to negoitiate with the dealer for a decent cost of the repair..i believe inferior quality is to blame and believe this can and will happen to others,hopefully without serious consequences...
While driving the vehicle stalled from 35-40 mph to 5 mph. a message came on the screen " engine power reduced". had i been on highway that would be ended in accident. contacted gm and everyone i have been talking to them seems to be reading a script to me. *tr
We bought it used in 2013 and shortly after it started have serious issues . it started with the traction control light coming on and it power down. then it would stay running spitting and sputtering after we turned the key off . so then we received a letter stating there is a recall and take it to the dealership to have it fixed . so they fixed it or at least they said it was , so we continued to drive it and the engine light came on and stayed on so i took it back and they said it was the throttle body and catalytic convert . then we changed those parts and it still has the engine light on and spitting and sputtering after we turn the key off.
The vehicle just stops while driving, this is very dangerous and can cause a major accident. dealer said the fuel pump was leaking!..for an almost brand new car this was unacceptable!..now it just happened again..the vehicle stops/the engine shuts down while driving!..im taking the vehicle again to the dealership to see what they say... *tr
