POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE CONTINUES TO BE CHECKED WITH DEALER FOR AWFULLY JERKY, HARD HITTING TRANSMISSION WHEN CHANGING MOSTLY IN LOW RANGE GEARS. SERVICE DEPARTMENT CONTINUES TO SAY TRANSMISSION OPERATING NORMAL? VEHICLE HAS OVER 17,000 MILES ON IT AND CONTINUES TO BE PLAGUED WITH JERKY TRANSMISSION PERIODICALLY. HARD TO BELIEVE THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS PROBLEM? *TR

ENGINE
I WAS IN THE DRIVE THRU LINE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. WHEN IT WAS TIME TO MOVE FORWARD, I PUT THE TRUCK IN DRIVE AND AS SOON AS MY FOOT HIT THE GAS PEDAL IT STALLED. I STARTED THE ENGINE BACK UP AND TRIED TO DRIVE FORWARD AND THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN. THIS HAS OCCURRED ABOUT 10 TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE (IN COLD AND MILD WEATHER). I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. *TR

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY TRUCK EXPERIENCED IT'S FIRST PROBLEM IN AUGUST OF 2011. I HAD ONLY HAD MY TRUCK FOR SIX MONTHS. THE TRUCK WAS ENTERING ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY AND AS I WAS PRESSING THE GAS THE TRUCK BEGIN TO STALL. THE REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK DECELERATES AND CUT OFF. WE WERE BLESSED THAT WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. WE WAITED ABOUT TEN MINUTES, THE TRUCK FINALLY STARTED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND TOOK THE TRUCK IN AS SOON AS I COULD GET AN APPOINTMENT. WAS TOLD THE TRUCK WAS FIXED AND SINCE I HAVE BEEN IN FIVE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FACT THAT THE TRUCK DECELERATES WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY IS ENOUGH THAT I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE THE TRUCK. I HAVE BEEN USING OTHER PEOPLES CARS AND TRUCKS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO PUT MINE ON THE EXPRESSWAY OUT OF OWN. IT IS A DEATH TRAP WAITING TO HAPPEN AND ANYONE DRIVING A TERRAIN SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DID EVERYTHING POSSIBLE AND HAD TO CONTACT MANUFACTURER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THEY COULD NOT NARROW DOWN THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE REPLACED SO MANY PARTS AT THIS POINT I HAVE LOST TRACK OF THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THIS TRUCK IS NOT SAFE AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE CAR STILL IDLES AND SHAKES AND NO ONE PLANS TO FIND OUT WHY AS LONG AS THE ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT ON. NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT IS REALLY DISAPPOINTING THAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD RATHER NOT DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM AND WAIT FOR A FATALITY TO OCCUR BEFORE LOOKING INTO. YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD LEARN FROM TOYOTA AND TAKE CUSTOMERS LIVES SERIOUSLY. WOULD THEY PUT THERE FAMILIES IN THIS TRUCK ? I JUST WANT THEM TO TAKE THE TRUCK BACK BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO USE MY LIFE AS AN EXAMPLE FOR A DEFECTIVE TRUCK. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:CRUISE CONTROL, STRUCTURE
THE SELECT THE PARTS WONT LET ME ENTER THE DESCRIPTION. WHEN MY VEHICLE IS IN CRUISE CONTROL THE SWITCH CAN BE ACCIDENTALLY SLIGHTLY TOUCHED AND WILL SHUT OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO IMMEDIATELY SLOW DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING TO THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME SINCE THE BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON. I REALLY FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY RELATED ISSUE. GMC HAS A NEW CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH FOR 2012 WHICH IS A PUSH ON AND PUSH OFF SWITCH WHICH ALLEVIATES THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC AND THEY INFORMED THAT THERE IS NO PLAN TO RETROFIT THE 2011 TERRAIN WITH THE NEW 2012 SWITCH. PLEASE ADVISE! GMC KNOWS THAT THE TOGGLE SWITCH WAS FAULTY AND REPLACED IT WITH A PUSH ON PUSH OFF SWITCH. I JUST WANT MY VEHICLE TO BE SAFE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS
I STARTED RECEIVING A WARNING TO SERVICE PASSENGER AIR BAG WHENEVER MY OLDEST SON SAT IN PASSENGER SEAT. IT DID NOT OCCUR WHENEVER ANYONE ELSE SAT IN THE SEAT SO I DID NOT IMMEDIATELY ACT UPON WARNING LIGHT/BUZZER. RECENTLY I HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR, SO WHEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALER, THEY FOUND A BAD ELECTRICAL SENSOR CONNECTOR UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT THAT WAS ONLY ACTIVATED WHEN MY SON'S WEIGHT WAS IN THE SEAT. A HEAVIER PERSON CLOSED THE CONNECTOR CIRCUIT, A LIGHTER PERSON WAS NOT REGISTERING IN THE SEAT. IF AN ACCIDENT HAD OCCURRED, A PASSENGER AIR BAG MALFUNCTION COULD HAVE OCCURRED WITH SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EQUIPMENT
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

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
DEALERSHIP FOUND THAT SIDEWALL ON MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR TIRE P 235/55R18 X GREEN 99T M+S TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE AND REPLACED ONLY ONE TIRE. I BOUGHT VEHICLE NEW IN 2010 NOW HAS 16,800 MILES ON IT. TIRES WERE NEVER "OVERLOADED" OR DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIRE PRESSURE IN IT AND WERE ALWAYS MAINTAINED BY DEALERSHIP. (VEHICLE ALSO HAS TPMS AND I RECEIVE ON STAR MAINTENANCE CHECK UPS MONTHLY. RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS THAT MANY DIFFERENT VEHICLE BRANDS EQUIPT WITH MICHELIN LATITUDE TIRES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IS THIS ON ONGOING PROBLEM? HOPEFULLY NOBODY WILL DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE IN LINE OF RECALL? HOW CAN I FEEL SAVE KNOWING THAT THIS TIRES ARE WEEK IN THE SIDEWALLS DUE TO DEFECT AND NOT DUE TO OUTER IMPACT? MANY PEOPLE STATED THEY ARE AFRAID OF DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATES OR LONG DISTANCE DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM. MANY PEOPLE HAD BLOWOUTS, ETC. I REQUEST AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
ACTUALLY, THIS IS MY SECOND TERRAIN, BECAUSE THEY BOUGHT THE 1ST ONE BACK FROM ME AND GAVE ME A BRAND NEW FOR THE SAME REASONS THAT I'M HAVING WITH THIS ONE. ON START UP, THE CAR MAKES AN UNUSUAL GRRRRRRRRR NOISE FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS. IT DOESN'T MAKE THIS NOISE ALL THE TIME, BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME IT DOES. I HAVE HEARD SEVERAL EXCUSES FROM THE DEALER. "WE CAN'T DUPLICATE WHAT YOU ARE HEARING, THAT'S NORMAL, IT SUPPOSE TO MAKE THAT NOISE". IT DOESN'T TAKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO KNOW THAT NOISE IS NOT NORMAL. AND EVEN IF IT WAS NORMAL, IT WOULD HAPPEN EVERY SINGLE TIME I STARTED THE CAR, BUT IT DOESN'T. IT'S EMBARRASSING TO START MY CAR UP AROUND PEOPLE, CAUSE I DON'T WANT THEM TO SEE ME DRIVING THIS BEAUTIFUL BRAND NEW CAR WITH A DUMB NOISE WHEN I START IT UP. I CAN'T BELIEVE GMC WOULD APPROVE TO EVEN SELL A CAR THAT MAKES THAT TYPE OF NOISE. IS THERE SOMETHING WE CAN DO ABOUT THIS? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *TR

STEERING
POWER STEERING MAKES BINDING NOISE WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL. DEALER HAS REPLACED POWER STEERING PUMP, GREASED STRUT SHAFTS, REPLACED POWER STEERING HOSES, REPLACED STEERING GEAR AND BLED LINES. THIS HAS INVOLVED THREE TRIPS TO THE DEALER AND LEAVING THE VEHICLE. DEALER HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL WITH A LOANER CAR. BUT GM CONTINUES TO IGNORE PROBLEM AND SANDBAGS, HOPING I'LL GIVE UP. I'M AFRAID STEERING COULD FAIL AT SPEED AND CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENT, MY WIFE IS HESITANT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I'M CONSIDERING ENACTING THE FLORIDA LEMON LAW, HOWEVER WE LIKE THE CAR WOULD MAKE THIS THE LAST RECOURSE IF NHTSA CAN NOT HELP. *JS

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE HAD TWO OCCURRENCES NOW - THE FIRST HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES BETWEEN 15K AND 20K MILES, WITH THE CAR STALLING WHEN SETTING A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I ALSO GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL GMC DEALER WHO SAID THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OUT BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY AND WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND THE SOURCE. JUST THIS PAST WEEKEND AT AROUND 25K MILES, MY FIANCE AND I WERE SETTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE CAR STALLED OUT. AFTER THE CARS BEHIND ME WERE LAYING ON THEIR HORNS, I GOT THE CAR STARTED AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE TRAVELING. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AGAIN AT THE LOCAL DEALER, BUT AFTER READING SIMILAR ISSUES FROM OTHER OWNERS, I AM STARTING TO DOUBT THEY WILL CORRECT IT. *JS

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE ENGINE OR FUEL SYSTEM SHOW A SEVERE MALFUNCTION. WHEN AT A STOP LIGHT, THE RPM'S DROP SO MUCH THAT IT SHUTS DOWN SOMETIMES, SOME OTHERS, IT BARELY STAYS ON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT A WARRANTY COVERED REPAIR AND THAT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC PLUS WHATEVER WAS WRONG TO REPAIR (PARTS AND/OR LABOR). ALL OF THE SUDDEN, NOW THE "STABILITY TRAC" CHECK LIGHT GOES ON AN OFF WITHOUT APPARENT CAUSE. I FEEL LIKE I'M DRIVING A VEHICLE FROM THE 1950'S. IT'S A GREAT LOOKING COMFORTABLE SUV, BUT VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH PERFORMANCE AND FUEL CONSUMPTION. *TR

PROBLEM WAS SOLVED, A MONTH OR SO LATER, PROBLEM RETURNED. I RETURNED TO DEALER AND THEY SAID NOTHING THEY COULD DO. AT THE SAME TIME I WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT GAS MILEAGE, 20 MPG ON HIGHWAY, 17 CITY. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SATISFACTION DETROIT, AND HAD MANY DISCUSSIONS WITH THEM. FINALLY TOLD ME DON'T BOTHER US ANY MORE ABOUT TWO PROBLEMS, AND TO THIS POINT NO RESOLUTION TO EITHER PROBLEM. *JS
