NHTSA Complaint #10587232 — 2010 GMC TERRAIN

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO RADLEY CHEVROLET IN FREDERICKSBURG, VA TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE COST WAS $1125.00. THE SUV IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. THE MILEAGE IS HIGH BECAUSE I TOW IT BEHIND MY MOTORHOME. THE REAL RUNNING MILES SHOULD BE SOMEWHERE IN THE LOW 60,000 MILES RANGE. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE SUV WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT A 4 YEAR CAR NEEDS TO HAVE SUCH AN EXPENSIVE PART REPLACED AND ESPECIALLY ONE THAT INVOLVES THE EMISSIONS OF THE CAR. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE COVERED. *TR
