3 Front Seat Heater/cooler problem of the 2011 GMC Terrain

Failure Date: 12/14/2016

Car rattles on start up and seems to be noisier than it should be. Drivers seat heater utilizes high heat no matter what settings it is on. If heater is left on I get a burning smell. Poor fuel economy, at best I get 22 mph. Engine runs rough in eco mode especially at an idle. I have had an occasional issue with hard downshifts when I decelerate then accelerate. I do mostly city driving.
