2015 GMC Terrain: hesitation when accelerating

Filed Aug 26, 2022 · Engine · NY

My vehicle had lack of engine excelleration, hesitated and was hard to drive. Took it to the GMC dealership and was told it was the timing chains. Because this was my only car and needed transportation for work I had it repaired. The amount was an expensive repair of $2,219.71 for what I researched was something that was happening in many of the 2015 GMC Terrains. People have been trying to get a recall notice to be sent to owners because it is so common and dangerous. I could be out on a busy highway and having the car die on me. Is there a way to receive some compensation for this seeming to be a normal problem for these cars. Why is there no recall especially since it has happened in many many of these 2015 GMC vehicles

Vehicle hesitates and is sluggish on takeoff, causing a delay in intersections and when turning into traffic causing a safety hazard. Problem has yet to be found and determined. Problem worsens when the ECO option is turned on causing more of a safety hazard and inability to use the option.

I have been having problems with my car sense I have owned it . From day one it started with my wheels rubbing and scrubbing when in motion .I called dealership had repairs done on it for the first 7 months .I reported the problem back then to you all. Then after 3 yrs I started to feel some hesitation when sitting or taking off .then the forth year my power steering light comes on had that fixed now my engine light keeps coming on car still having some hesitation on and off . I paid to have a diagnostic test done on it by the place that does my oil change and was told that my codes where off and they were reset but 5 days later my engine light is back on ,ironically right after my five years limited warranty is over and my car only have 38,490 miles to this day and it is not yet paid for. This is ridiculous ,I have spent the last 5 plus years of dealing with this new lemon and all I get is another bill add to the 528.02 a month I have to pay already. This car came highly recommended by the sales person and dealership and all I can see is that these cars are being push on hard working people that just want something reliable and its wrong. This car is frustrating and stressing me out ,I cant rely on it to get me through 5 more years I thought more of the gmc product and I cant take anymore of this trying to make this bad situation better on my own. Gmc needs to do something about these defective cars please.

I purchased my vehicle from a dealer in june 2018, and about a month of purchasing it my vehicle has been hesitating in acceleration, at first I didn't think anything of it, but it started getting worse. Two days ago when I was driving my vehicle in the downtown area (city streets), it was bucking a lot. When I got to my destination and restarted the vehicle, I put it in reverse and proceeded to drive back but the car shuddered and then shut off completely and the malfunction indicator lamp light came on (but it didn't stay on long). Today as I was driving it continued to jerk, especially when I was driving around 20 MPH or below (which I had to do because of the school zones). My vehicle shut off again as I began to pull off from dropping my child off at school, which almost caused another parent to crash in the back of me. The only way I could keep the car from shutting off again is by accelerating on the gas above 20 MPH.
