NHTSA Complaint #10984793 — 2011 GMC TERRAIN

AS I READ THROUGH ALL THE COMPLAINTS I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ARE NOT MORE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. I LOVE THE CAR ITSELF BUT AFTER ONLY HAVING THE CAR FOR 15 MONTHS THE MOTOR COMPLETELY FAILED WITH NO WARNING. OUR TERRAIN HAS THE 3.0 ENGINE BUT THERE IS AN EXTENSION OF WARRANTY ON THE 2.4 ENGINE. HOWEVER THE COMPLAINTS ON THE 2.4 MOTOR MIRRORS WHAT HAPPENED TO US. WE HAD FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED A FEW MONTHS AGO AND OIL CHANGED AT THAT TIME. THE NIGHT THE ENGINE DIED IT HAD MADE SOME STRANGE NOISES BUT NO HESITATION AND NO WARNING LIGHTS. NOT EVEN A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS LOW. THERE IS NO WAY IT COULD HAVE BEEN LOW. HE ADDED SOME BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE ARE CONDITIONED TO DO BUT IT NEVER WOULD REGISTER ON THE DIPSTICK. WE DROVE 1/2 MILE AND THE WITHOUT WARNING; NO NOISES OR WARNING LIGHTS THE CAR DIED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. THANKFULLY MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO PUSH ME IN THE CAR TO SAFETY BUT THE CAR NEVER RESTARTED. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WE PURCHASED IT FROM AND THEY SAID THE MOTOR SEIZED UP BUT ARE UNABLE TO TELL US WHY UNLESS WE PAY FOR THEM TO TAKE THE MOTOR APART. THEY ARE UNABLE TO FIND ANY ERROR CODES. THEY ARE TELLING US WE NEED A NEW MOTOR COSTING $7400 TO PURCHASE AND PUT IN. THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. WE ONLY BOUGHT THE VEHICLE 15 MONTHS AGO SO WE HAVEN'T HAD IT LONG; WE BOUGHT IT USED. MAKES NO SENSE BUT DOES SOUND LIKE THE STORIES ON THE 2.4 MOTORS. WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO TAKE NOTICE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE GMC MOTORS WHETHER IT IS THE 2.4 OR THE 3.0 ENGINES. DOES IT TAKE SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BEFORE GMC ADMITS THERE IS A PROBLEM??????
