NHTSA Complaint #10846283 — 2010 GMC TERRAIN

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH PEOPLE BEHIND ME, AND THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE LIGHT CAME ON THAT SAID STABILITRACK. IT WOULD NOT START BACK UP. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP, AND WE CONTACTED GMC, THEY SAID OUR WARRANTY HAD RAN OUT IN DECEMBER 2014, AND THIS TOOK PLACE FEBRUARY 2015. THE VEHICLE HAD AROUND 60,000 MILES ON IT. IT TURNED OUT IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN, AND WHEN IT BROKE IT DESTROYED THE WHOLE MOTOR. IT ACTUALLY SHEARED OFF SOME OTHER METAL PARTS. THE WHOLE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED, AND WE HAD TO PAY FOR IT ALL OUT OF OUR POCKET, WHILE WE ARE STILL PAYING FOR THE VEHICLE ITSELF. I FEEL LIKE THAT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE ITSELF, BECAUSE YOU READ ON THESE PAGES AND FORUMS, AND TONS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS WE HAD. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BY IT STOPPING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH NO WARNING AT ALL!!
