Filed Oct 1, 2018 · Engine · TN

Vehicle's engine make loud noise when stationary and in motion. Never has made this sound before. All recalls that were listed which were the high fuel pump and carbon monoxide have been completed yet no change in vehicle. Dealership stated that it mayexhaust and catalyst converter are the issues. After doing some research online, I've discovered that other owners of this vehicle along with owners of the equinox have the same issue.

My vehicle, 2010 gmc terrain, at times would sputter and act like it wants to die at idle, so I took it into the dealership and they found that the high pressure fuel pump was leaking into the crankcase contaminating the oil with fuel. There is currently a recall for this issue, #43180: product emission recall ' high pressure fuel pump, reference # n16204318, release date: september 2016. I was told that my vehicle was not part of this recall because it did not include my VIN. I believe that the recall needs to be expanded to cover more vehicles because there are more vehicles that are affected by this issue.

While driving at about 5 miles an hour, turning vehicle around a cul-de-sac the vehicle completely turns off. I have contacted the gmc dealership about this and the only recall I was told was the fuel pump. I was told they would order my parts and they would call me; I never received a call. I have towed the vehicle to two repair shops and I have been told by both that it is a timing chain issue and I need to install a new engine! I called the gmc dealership and asked if the recall could be a direct result of my timing chain issue, and if I had any other recalls? I was told I would have to pay for them to look at my vehicle if not apart of the recall. I do not have the extra money to pay multiple times for my car to be looked at or to put an engine in a vehicle that has less than 85k miles. I purchased this vehicle in late december of 2015 and have not be able to drive the vehicle since about september of 2016. I have gotten at least two oil changes in that time frame (dec-sept) from the same gmc dealership and was never told about any recalls or any issues with my vehicle besides needing tires/brakes. One of the mechanics that I took the vehicle to said I have other recalls. I was not able to locate any others online and that is my reason for writing this. I am very unsatisfied and do not know how to proceed.

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.

2010 gmc terrain started making a rattling noise and shaking a stop, like a rough idle, took it to the dealership to get it fixed under warranty, had to replace water pump, balance shaft chain and tensioner replaced intake and exhaust. Camshaft position actuators and bolts replaced high pressure, fuel pump replaced v/c gasket timing chain tensioner and left timing chain guide. That was replaced 09/07/13 in warranty. Now it is 3/09/15 and the same problems have come up again and my car is currently in the shop at the dealership , that means there is a serious problem with this make of engine and it should be recalled before someone gets hurt because of it.

It stalled and the check engine lights came on. This happened again 12/13 replaced exhaust cam solenoid and again in january 2014 when they had to replace the camshaft position exhaust actuator. The have also at different times had to replace the high pressure fuel pump, water pump and balance shaft chain, replaced the condenser, evac on the air conditioner on this vehicle and the other 2010 gmc terrain we own. We do not feel like we should have had to pay for the AC condenser since it happened on both vehicles we own within months of each other but we did. The other 2010 terrain we own was in the shop in january 2014 because it stalled and it was cam shaft and the throttle body about 2 weeks later we had to take this one in for the cam. The other terrain has we own has also had the cam worked on several times. This vehicle has also had several recalls for other issues. Something needs to be done about these vehicles because there are so many people having these same problems. Look on edmonds online forum at all the complaints about the 2010 terrains and the 2010 equinox. Something needs to be done so the owners can get rid of these vehicles before they stall again and somebody hits them and kills them like the six people who died because the 2007 gm cobalt stalled on them while driving. We need the federal safety agency to help us. They were also going to charge us on the other vehicle almost $900.00 to fix the cam shaft and throttle body, when the problem had obviously not been fixed one of the other times that gmc dealerships worked on it until I complained to gmc. Then the dealership said we had to pay about $250.00 because the owner has to pay something when its out of warranty. That vehicle had about 43,000 miles. I don't feel like the owners should have to pay one penny when there is a repeat problem on a vehicle and they can't seem to keep it fixed.

I had complained several times to the courtesy gmc in trussville, al in the last that my 2010 gmc terrain was not getting good gas mileage and idling and shifting very rough. At that time it was under the 36,000 mile factory warranty. They proceeded to tell me that it was just how this new engine ran but was not a problem. The week of april 4, 2011 my vehicle started really having alot more difficulties on idling, had no pickup and gas mileage got even worse and it almost cut off a few times. Well I took it to the dealership on april 11, 2011 after having several warning lights come on and was told my it was my high pressure fuel pump was leaking. They had to keep my car the better part of a week to order all the parts to fix it and of course at this point it is not under the factory warranty any longer. I was told this would fix all my problems. If this was the case why was this not fixed earlier. After picking my car back up on april 15,2011, the next day all the lights come on again and the car will not turn over at all. After jumping the vehicle off, I carried back to the dealership on april 18, 2011 and they tell me now my battery is dead. It has been one problem after another with this vehicle and this dealership. It is a true lemon and I would not suggest to anyone to purchase these vehicles. I travel about 30,000 miles a year and I do not feel safe that I will get where I am going in this vehicle without breaking down.
