Engine Belts And Pulleys problems of the 2010 GMC Terrain

Driving on the highway my car would not go. Car sensor prevented my car from moving because the wheel bearings went out on the used car I just purchased. The timing belt is also loose and the motor can seize up at any moment. My all wheel drive stopped working as well because of this. I had to put on my flashers and try to make it to an area where I could get off the highway. I called a tow truck. I have copies they will not download here, but available if needed.

I own a 2010 GMC Terrain, I had to replace the timing belt mid 2016 which cost around $2000 , now less than 3 years later I'm told it needs replaced again, another $2400 this time. My vehicle is barley over 100,000 miles. This is absolutely ridiculous. Of course the first time my warranty had just expired and the replacements warranty is 12 months/12,000 miles. So of course not covered again. I would think that GMC would want to address this as an issue. Almost 4000 in repairs and vehicle less than 10 years old and apparently 108,000 miles. I've seen several other complaints online and feel GMC should help cover the repairs or do a recall and cover it. I won't by another GMC.

No warning indicators (as in none ) of any kind for low oil or low oil pressure as a result when oil is low or empty it will cause the timing chain / belt to break. GMC has a warning about worn rings that results in excessive consumption of oil. Within about 2500 miles of my oil change it was out of oil and resulted in the timing chain / belt breaking. It happened as I was on the entrance ramp to the interstate system.

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.

I own a 2010 GMC Terrain. When I had an oil change done I noticed an abnormal ticking noise and the check engine light would not go off and brought my vehicle in for a diagnostic and was told the timing belt and chain had to be replaced the check engine warning light illuminated. In addition, I only had this vehicle for 2 yrs and for this kind of problem under 100,000 miles is crazy. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who diagnosed the problem I went to other mechanics who would not touch the vehicle and said this was a dealer issue and was advised that he has had a few customers with the same problem and I am not paying 2,000 for a part that has been known to cause problems but is not covered under warrenty.

Approximately around the high 4x,xxx miles the engine started giving me extended cranking issues. It would crank for 4-5 seconds and not start at all or start but idles really low like its going to die. I has done this countless amount of times, even caught it on video numerous times only because every time I bring it in for the starting issue I always get there is nothing wrong with your vehicle, have a nice day. It gets really frustrating when the wife and I daily drive it and it happens about 2-3 per week. At times when I turn off the car, it sounds like its still on for a few seconds and than turns off like when a building loses power. On another hand, over a month ago the dealership checked the oil and said I was really low on oil. But their's still nothing wrong with my vehicle they claim. And to make things worse the seatbelt sensor came on and stays on a few hours after I picked up my vehicle from the last visit to get it checked for this cranking problem. This is the worse vehicle I ever owned. I would not recommend the Terrain to anyone. Oh yeah, I also brought it too 2 different GMC/chevy dealers with no help from them at all. This is the last time I'll buy a GMC/chevy vehicle - built very poorly.

The contact owns a 2010 GMC Terrain slt. The contact was driving 25 mph when the timing belt detached. The vehicle was towed to a dealer. The dealer stated that the timing belt chain detached and destroyed the engine. The manufacturer was notified. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 74,000 and the current mileage was 76,500. The VIN was unknown.
