Catalytic converter going out on a car 6 years old. I know some gmc have had recalls on their catalytic converter, why not the terrain. I have had so many things fixed on this car. The car started running really rough and hard. The first things caused the car to shut down in power. That was covered under warranty and was fix. Then the air bag light kept coming on, and I had repaired. Then a recall was on that, and I was reimburse my money. Then I had the evap vent solenoid asm and cleared. Still more problems so took it back to the dealership. More money spent as now they said "tested evap system and found gas cap leaking." repaired that then more money was needed as they said after the light came on again evap purge solenoid leaking pressure.then the compressor went out. I live in texas so air was needed. Well now the services engine like is on again, and the car idle real hard and jerks like it wants to die. After checking the engine light I was told now it's my catalytic converter, and its going to cost me $1200. After researching I have found other are having the same problem with the 2010 gmc terrain. These cars and year model appear to be junk. Will there be a recall on this problem? Could you are investigate this?

The airbag indicator on the dash along with the warning "ding ding ding" goes off constantly. I am concerned there is something wrong with the airbags. I would like to know the manufacturer of the airbags and I would like to know if those airbags are being recalled in other vehicles. I bought this vehicle used in april of 2015.

The driver air bag light went on and my car it's never been in an accident. I think this should be a manufacturer defect.
