general problems of the 2010 GMC Terrain - part 1

The contact owns a 2010 GMC Terrain. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the center console display intermittently malfunctioned and became inoperable. During the failure, the hvac system was no longer blowing hot air, and the front windshield could not be defrosted, creating a visibility hazard for the driver. Additionally, the radio had become inoperable, and the audible clicking from the turn signal was muted. The cause of the failures was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 09v489000 (visibility). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 114,000.

Reduce spreed unknown if related to fuel pressure regulator since repaired twice told could be to service bulletin. Warning lights keeps appearing while driving at a speed of 40 to 50 mph.

The contact owns a 2010 GMC Terrain. The contact stated that upon attempting to start the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start as intended; however, the contact was able to jumpstart the vehicle. After a visual inspection of the engine compartment, the contact observed excessive corrosion on and around the battery terminals and the presence of battery acid coming from the battery casing. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown electronics and instrument panel gauges failed to work properly. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 58,000. The VIN was not available.

Twice had to have wiring repaired because animals ate the wiring. Both were caused by gm using soy based insulation on wiring that made it a delicacy to the animals and caused them to eat through two wiring harnesses, one of which gm no longer makes. The other complaint is the timing belt has stretched and is now in need of replacement at a cost of $4500 to $5000.

The defroster/ radio control/ heating area stopped working. Upon visiting a mechanic was told they never seen this or heard of this happening before and quoted me over $1,000. 00 dollars to fix stating that due to federal law they have to give an estimate but this problem not being in their system they came up with an estimate based on parts and labor. Upon searching online I found a recall for this issue dating back to 2009 recall number was 09v489000 but was never informed about this and while looking up my car it’s not listed but being a safety issue should still be current which it is not.

My defrost system doesn't work. As I drive down the road my windshield fogs up andni can't get it to un fog at all or fast enough. Almost caused me to have an accident before christmas.

My information screen which shows valuable information to driver as well as speedometer is blank and the radio and temps , ac/ setting etc a are all unable to be read . There is a recall listed for the computer modules yet they exclude my VIN number in that recall how can Chevrolet do that when it’s the same issues 2010 Terrains with a different number than mine are being fixed.

The emergency flasher button sticks down it sticks being pushed in along with the eco button and I feel the drive shaft should be more durable than 155,000 mi or 11 years.

Driving 50 mph on the highway, my car decided to 'reduce engine power' and 'service stabilitrak' came on, immediately making the car slow dance forcibly to 25 mph. The car was shaking and stepping on the gas did nothing. That's dangerous, because the person behind me has to swerve or hit into the back of me for sudden drop in speed. You guys should know better! happened twice in one day. I had to restart the car, and it happened going onto the bridge. Someone could be seriously hurt, or killed. Do better!.

Tl- the contact owns a 2010 GMC Terrain. The contact stated while driving at any mph the vehicle electrical warning light on the dash would flash and completely blank out. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic for diagnosis; the diagnosis was the computer panel was defective and needed to be replaced. However the vehicle was not repaired. The contact is associating this failure to (NHTSA campaign number: 09v489 components visibility) the manufacturer was not made aware of this failure. The approximate failure mileage was 88,690 tp.

The contact owns a 2010 GMC Terrain. The contact stated that various warning indicators and gauges flashed. Cadillac vera pembrooke pines (954-517-7827, 300 south university drive, pembroke pines, FL 33025) was notified of the failure, but was not authorized to schedule an appointment. In addition, while attempting to accelerate from a stop sign, the vehicle failed to gain speed when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The failure mileage was not available.

Faulty driver window motor, heated seat drivers side, blinking cd on dash, noises coming from cd player, heater core and thermostat,airbags,relays and fuses. All went out including lumbar back pad on drivers side. While in motion.

Takata recall the heater/defroster blows cold air instead of hot, so windows will not defrost, and the radio panel lighting keeps going out. This has been a recall on my make and model, but my VIN number shows no recall.

While driving the stability track service lift comes on, the abs, brakes, service all wheel drive, as well as the service power steering at which time I lose power steering. It also feels like it is accelerating sluggishly when drive sometimes. This happens and goes off sometimes with out me turning the car off or stopping but other times I have to pull over and wait a few minutes after turning the car off. It happens various times. At one moment it is driving fine and then these lights come on. When taken to dealership the lights have gone off and they get no codes.

The radio will go blank causing me to not see the screen.

Engine - slows down and speed up and jolt as it accelerate in speed. Heated seats - a month after purchase they stopped worked oil pump - the filter gets clogged with metal shaving and would not allow the oil to get to the engine. As a result, I had to get oil changes 3 times in a month. Dash board and stereo light would flicker and dim. Stereo would repeat words and get stuck in one place. The wind shield wipers stopped working during a rain storm and were wiping in two separate directions at the same time.

Takata recall- the radio screen goes completely black when it comes back on its un- readable. Also whenever you turn the ac on it makes a clicking sound. Both happen while driving( in motion, stationary, city streets as well as highway. . . Also, the back windows click when rolling them up or down.

My husband change the oil 2 days ago and said that there was a leak of oil. . I had changed my oil back on 2-28-2017. My husband said there was oil on the stick. So I want to say that it was short 2 or 3 quarts of oil. Me not knowing that it had been leaking. Its making a sound like its knotting, like if the belt was loose, a check engine light came on after having the oil changed. . We have already changed sparknplugs and tyhey were bad.

Center instrument panel controls and displays fail to function on periodic occasion. Panel illumination flickers on and off. This occurs while vehicle is in motion. There is recall for this particular issue but my local gm dealership says our VIN is not listed in this recall. Id#09v489000.

I am adding on additional information to my previous complaint #10938600. GMC sca #14159, 14232, 15810, 12313, and my transmission failure all seem to fall victim to excessive heat. I was pulling into traffic when the transmission failed. My Terrain has fallen victim to three possibly four of the five calamities. There is no reason to believe all five will not fail under the same driving conditions. Somehow not once did warning lights come on for multiple engine oil occurances, nor for my transmission failure. I was an hvac chiller technician for 28 years. When I hear ecm referenced, as in sca#12312, I have to ask which values were changed and why. Thermistors and pressure switches designed to protect vital engine compartment components run through the ecm yet no warning. My transmission failed on December 4, 2016, the catalytic converter may be bad, the steering gear is suspect, and the engine warning lights have not done what they are supposed to do. The unnecessarily long delay in addressing the oil consumption issue outlined in sca#14159 probably compromised my engine in other ways. Sca#12313 resulted from gm delaying the repair of sca#14159 for so long. What, why, and how. We know what is failing. Simply replacing the part in kind or similar is not addressing why. How do we keep it from happening again is definitely not being addressed. Safety as well as quality issues are at hand here. Gm has ignored my requests for all information regarding sca#14159, 14232, 15810, 12313, and 12312, as well as the transmission. Why they are failing is excessive heat. That is just my guess. They know what it is. I can not afford a costly transmission bill that only finds me back in an unreliable vehicle with some serious safety issues.

Requesting a recall on the 2010 GMC Terrain. Mileage that was on the sticker was incorrect. Far from the truth. Major oil consumption, never seen anything like it. Tapping noise was reported @ 3,000 was told it was normal. Knew it was not. Had to replace camshaft, electrical problem, head lights constantly going, never lasting anytime. Will now have to replace transmission and probably engine. GMC stated they have no record of any problems with the Terrain they stated if there were any problems there would have been recalls and that the NHTSA would have done this. Will this be done? not sure how GMC is getting away with this. So many complaints on line. Are there any class action suits for the Terrain? can we start one? there are plenty of people with the exact same problem. Not even similar it's exact.

I purchased this vehicle last may 2015 with no warning indicators working my vehicle loss excessive oil and now needing a new engine, how does a vehicle lose 4. 5 quarts between a oil changes. Now I'm stuck with the cost of repairs for installing a new engine and the extended warranty and gm motors refused to help me with repairs. I have six children at home I provide for and now will be eating a new engine at the dinner table for the next four years! thanks a lot gm for not living up to your name im going to Toyota next vehicle. The good thing I was parked at a store when the vehicle gave out with no warning!!!!!!!.

While driving down the road in heavy rain and foggy conditions put the defrost on and suddenly the instrumentation panel went completely black this is a digital instrument panel and it was in the middle of the night there for leaving the driver with inability to ascertain speed and other needed information found in the instrument panel also leaving the interior of the car completely black it's also interfere with the headlights which blink on and off.

In motion. Highway and street. The defrost system stopped blowing to clear the windshield area. It would blow into passenger area either cold or so hot you could hardly hold your hand in front of the vent. When you shut the vehicle off you can readily hear a knocking sound from the dash for several minutes. The radio also shut off along with all the radio illumination initial problem date: Dec 27, 2015. The inability to defrost is a continuing problem to present time.

Tl-the contact owns a 2010 GMC Terrain. The contact stated that while driving on several occasions the air bag warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 86,000. Ah.

Okay…the truck first started with the car alarm going off at anytime. We went to the dealership and said nothing was wrong. We took it home and nothing. Then the everything in the front board (radio screen, dashboard) was staying on when no one was in the car an off when someone drives it. We took it back to the dealership and and said something about the a timer. We bought warranty and it didn't cover it. Okay, I ask if it would be a problem to wait 2 weeks for I can have money to fix it later and they said yeah. A couple of days after. A family member drives the car on the freeway and the car just shuts down on her. We took it back to the dealership and now they are saying it's the camshaft. The warranty doesn't cover that either. Still being patient, I declined service because I had not enough money for the fix and find odd that is a different problem. Couple days after, the car won't turn on. It would only turn on when it feels like it. Long story short. Took it back to the dealership and now they are say is the battering. Got into an arguments talk to every supervisor because they don't know whats the problem but whatever it is is not covered by the warranty. Was able to get gm to pay something for repairs and paid only deductible. Car is fix from everything. Okay week, later the car is repeating the steps. Took the car immediately to the dealership and they are saying there's nothing wrong. I'm getting frustrated now, they are not checking the car and it gets worse when I bring it back.

Dashboard lighting fading on and off at radio portion, including time, temp, and station. At same time, noise coming from right front side of vehicle.

Gear shift and dashboard lighting fading on and off at the radio and gear shift locations, including time, temp, drive, radio display, park, reverse, neutral, drive and manual with power steering noise coming from right front side of vehicle when turning.

Sitting in car with key in cup holder and the engine tried to crank up all my itself. Car taken to dealership after the 3 rd time happening,dealership claims they can not find an issue with the car. Today car has done the same nhing three times already.

The problem(s) that I have had or currently have with my vehicle are as follows: 1. Vehicle hesitates 2. Jolts forward 3. Stutters 4. Excessive oil consumption 5. The car has been undrivable since 01/27/20.

We have a 2010 GMC Terrain and the hatch door opens on its own. It occurs while parked and while driving, happening several times a week and often several times a day. We have closed and locked the door/car with the button in the car, with the key and manually and it still occurs. The hatch latch has been replaced but the problem continues. Not only could something fall out of the back and cause an accident, it leaves us open to theft as well as being a nuisance and a worry.

Tl- the contact owns a 2010 GMC Terrain. The contact stated that the defroster failed to work and the radio activated independently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician advised the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer. No repairs were made to the vehicle. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 53,000. Pam.

I was going about 40 mph about to get on the freeway, when my car begin a loud noise, shaking, and dropped speed to about 20 mph. The dashboard said something also about no power, no matter how much I pushed the gas pedal, car would not accelarate. Instead of getting on freeway I pulled over to a gas station. I cut the car off and left off for a minute. I cut it back on and was running normal. I immediately went to the dealership where I was told there was a recall on the throttle body and they would replace for me. The problem is that no one bother to notify me, and if I had not had this problem might not had known.

Cpsc:i1440011a. 2010 GMC Terrain. Consumer stated the car ignition cuts off while driving. Car was taken to the dealer who could not reproduce the issue.

With all exterior lights and one map light on, when using turn signal, all lights will dim when signal light comes on. There should not be that much strain on the electrical system.
