Consumer Description

MY GMC TERRAIN 2011 IS HAVING TROUBLE ACCELERATING, AND I HEAR A NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. WHEN I AM AT A STOP LIGHT AND I TRY TO ACCELERATE, IT PULLS AND DOESN'T GO FORWARD. IT'S STALKING MY TERRAIN. I DID SOME RESEARCH, AND I FOUND THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS A RECALL #12313D- SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT- ENGINE BALANCE CHAIN AND FUEL PUMP. I LOOKED UP, AND IT SEEMS THIS VEHICLE HAS 0 UNCLAIMED RECALLS. SO, I'M CONCERN BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS STALLING AND NOT WORKING AS IT SHOULD BE. THE RECALL DOES SAY, 'IF LEFT UNTREATED, COULD CAUSE THE CHAIN TO BREAK, LEADING TO ENGINE DAMAGED.
