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.
2010 GMC Terrain fuel system complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The car has been to the dealership 4 times for this problem only to have the dealership fix everything but the timing chain now we are not in "warranty" whatever that crap means. So we are responsible for 1400.00 bill on a timing chain for a car that has 77000 miles on it. We have a 2003 with 200000 miles on it and never had to repair all this engine stuff. I think gm is the worst car maker in the world. I am never buying another gm product.
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.
Was driving down the road doing speed limit of 40 MPH. All of a sudden the car started shaking and by it self dropped to 20 MPH. Drove to apt and shut car off. When started back up it seemed ok. Took to the dealer, they said it was the throttle body and stabilizers. Which those lights came on as it happened. Engine power control light also came on. Dealer said they had to order parts and would cost around $600. Wow. Seems like a lot of the same issues on here. I believe they should put a recall on this issue.
On 10/17/2013 my wife experienced a sudden acceleration while pulling into a parking space at our local walgreen's pharmacy. As she was pulling into a parking space in front of the pharmacy the car kept moving forward slowly although she was pressing on the brake pedal as hard as she could. The car crawled up the concrete curb stop slowly and hit the steel pipe bollard placed in front of the curb stop to protect the walkway front of the store. No injuries occurred to my wife, no one was on the walkway at the time. Only damage was to the bollard (bent over) plastic bumper, grill and right front fender of the car. Bollard and a trash receptacle brought the car to a stop. This is the second time this occurred. The first occasion was about a year ago when I was driving on a neighborhood residential street approaching a stop sign. As the car was slowing down and I was pressing on the brake pedal the car kept moving forward with the brakes being fully applied. Could hear the engine straining at an increased RPM. I lifted my foot off the brake pedal and jammed it down hard again and the car came to a stop at the stop sign with the engine in normal idle. In the three years we have owned this car these are the only occasions the problem has occurred.
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.
