Engine Exhaust System problems of the 2010 GMC Terrain

I ordered this vehicle in 12/2009 and received it 2/2010. There have been several recalls and most recently I had to replace cam shaft accuators and high pressure fuel pump to the tune of $1800. 00. My wife was driving home from work and the car was rattling and vibrating like it had two flat tires. Before that she informed that the service engine and stabilitrak lights had come on. There is a noise that rattles in the exhaust and I have had problems with the heater not working in the cold days of wisconsin. I am highly disappointed in GMC, who received a "bail out" now owners of this vehicle need a "bail out" from this terrible design of a vehicle.

I have had my vehicle checked twice this year regarding the loud exhaust noise and the strong fuel smell coming from my vehicle. They said that it is not a concern and I get migraines from the smell as well. I take my little sister to school everyday and the the fumes are overwhelming.

Copy of letter to mr. Thomas d'addario, d'addario automotive group, explaining the serious problems which may have been caused by the mass air flow sensor hose not connected or dislodged during the engine/ecm module replacement. The consumer stated due to the problem, he experienced loss of power and a leaking exhaust and/or catalytic converter. Also, the consumer had to add one quart of oil every 1000 miles and the check engine light illuminated several times.

The contact owns a 2010 GMC Terrain. The contact smelled fumes coming from the vehicle and noticed a hole in the exhaust manifold. The dealer made eight attempts to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was aware of the failure. No repairs were performed. The current mileage was 24,000. The approximate failure mileage was 134. The VIN was unavailable. Updated 07/21/11.
