Car Stall problems of the 2011 GMC Terrain

The vehicle going through oil like made and stalling in the middle of intersections or pulling onto a road. This has caused other people to almost hit me or go off the road to avoid an accident. I will start out into an intersection get in the middle and it dies. Turning onto a different road this happens also in motion going at normal speeds for the road.

I purchased the vehicle it ran great. Within a couple of weeks, it started stalling when I go to take off in the middle of intersections or pulling out onto a road. It will run fine I stop it idles ok and when I touch the gas pedal it will start out into the road and then just die. It goes though oil like mad.

Takata recall when at a complete stop and starting to go the SUV will stall right where it is at. No warning light. Just dies!.

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.

The contact called on behalf of the owner of a 2011 GMC Terrain. The contact stated that while driving 30 mph, the vehicle stalled with the reduced engine power and serviced stability track warning lights illuminated. The contact removed the ecm and replaced the module prior to restarting the vehicle however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was then towed to joe mahan for (211 memorial dr, paris, TN 38242, (731) 642-4711) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and schedule a vehicle inspection. The contact was informed that the exhaust cylinder and high pressure fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure persisted. The failure mileage was 141,000. The VIN was not available.

I purchased my car used in September two weeks later I started experiencing stalling and erratic jerking while driving. I took the car to the dealer where I purchased the car (while it was under warranty) and was told not to worry it's just the O2 sensors. The car was loosing oil like crazy. December the car became worse and stalled and would not start. The dealership informed me I need a new engine, I am no longer covered under warranty and still paying for this car. No one will help me so now I'm stuck with a payment and an inoperable car. . Oh did I mention I got a car fax once the car broke down to see the vehicle history the title is branded manufactor buy back/lemon. . I have seen on several forums and google that many people have complained and gm will not do a recall this issue is totally unsafe and can cause serious injury.

This car stalls for no reason while driving. I have fixed it multiple times but no fix works. It stalled on me while exiting the freeway yesterday, very scary situation. I am worried I will be in a wreck. I press the gas and the car will not accelerate. Very dangerous in certain situations. Especially when it stalls while making a turn in a intersection. Almost got t-boned the other day when it stalled while a car was oncoming. Since gm is not willing to acknowledge the problem and have not fix in place I will be getting rid of the car at my loss.

My GMC Terrain has stalled out while driving at highway speeds 65-70mph (I wasn't turning, stopping, or switching lanes). Completely shut off, no power steering or power brakes. I was able to coast over 3 lanes of traffic, in rush hour, and come to a stop on the shoulder. The truck would not restart. Previous times it stalled, and I was able to put it in neutral and turn it back on. Today (January 6th, 2016) however, it would not turn on. It would crank, but that's it. I called a tow truck and have it at the dealership now.

The contact owns a 2011 GMC Terrain. While driving various speeds, the stabilitrak and loss of engine power indicators illuminated on the instrument panel and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 85,000.

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.

Several times over the last week my car is stalling. It happens if I am at a stoplight, don't get up to speed fast enough, etc. The m as malfunction indicator lamp keeps going on and off. There are several complaints of similar issues and this should be handled by GMC.

Well it appears that there are several complaints on here about the 2011 Terrain stalling. It's been happening to me off and on the past several months. I would be in traffic and it would stall, I would be at a stop light and it would stall, I would go to back out of my driveway and it would stall. I took it in and they can't find anything wrong. Well last night it finally died. Great!! I heard noise when I started the vehicle that sounded like plastic water bottles rubbing together. I had a bag in my front seat so assumed it was nothing. It bucked forward as I put it into drive and stalled. Well. . . The stalling I'd become accustomed to so I re-started. It seemed fine until I went to accelerate onto the main road. . . It bucked, started shuttering, and wouldn't go above 5 mph. I barely got it into a parking lot before it died. I counted no less than 5 similar reports on here. I live in the metro detroit area. . . Had this happened on a highway or during rush hour, I could've been killed. Someone needs to do something before GMC has yet another scandal on their hands or how many people have to be hurt, maimed, or killed before NHTSA gets involved??.

The contact owns a 2011 GMC Terrain. The contact stated that while driving 65 mph, the vehicle stalled and the engine warning lamp illuminated. The contact stated that the steering wheel seized as well. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the cam actuator was defective and needed to be replaced. The remedy failed to repair the problem. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and the current mileage was 12,000.

While the car is idling, and moving at crawling speeds it stalled out 3 times, both in drive, and reverse.

I have a 2. 5 month old 2011 GMC Terrain. At 4984 miles it is in the shop for stalling, for a horrible rattle upon start up, and for it jerking between first and second gear. When I took it in this morning it had stalled six times within the past 2 days. It stalls after start-up in forward and reverse and it stalled three times while in idle in a fast food drive-thru. There is also the rattling which happens on cold and warm starts, whether the a/c or eco mode are on. It sounds like metal rattling and like it is harming the engine. The least of my worries, is the fact that between 25-35 miles an hour the transmission shifts very hard and kicks myself and passengers forward. Apparently there is a tech bulletin that has been out for the rattle for several months. Why not fix them before they sell them? also, there is a recall #11195 for "rough idle, poor driveability" that doesn't show up on the NHTSA site or anywhere else but the GMC dealer's computer. Additionally, despite the claims, I have never gotten better than 21 mpg while driving this car including an all highway trip from michigan to indiana. I think it is false advertising and the fuel economy in eco or not is not what they claim when the y sold the vehicle to me.
