I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 20 MPH WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASHBOARD IT SAID ENGINE SPEED REDUCED. I BACKED DOWN AN ENTRANCE RAMP TO GET ONTO A LOCAL ROAD. AFTER 1 HOUR THE CAR WAS RESTARTED AND SEEMED OK. NOT LONG AFTER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE GMC DEALER, THEY DROVE IT 47 MILES AND COULD NOT GET IT TO ACT UP.I GOT THE CAR BACK, DROVE IT 70 MILES HOME AND THE NEXT MORNING IT HAPPENED AGAIN, 3 MILES FROM MY HOUSE. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER THEN REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY FOR $540. IT HAS BEEN FINE FOR 2 WEEKS. IN 2010, GMC DECIDED NOT TO COVER THIS PART...

ON 10/17/2013 MY WIFE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN ACCELERATION WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT OUR LOCAL WALGREEN'S PHARMACY. AS SHE WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF THE PHARMACY THE CAR KEPT MOVING FORWARD SLOWLY ALTHOUGH SHE WAS PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS SHE COULD. THE CAR CRAWLED UP THE CONCRETE CURB STOP SLOWLY AND HIT THE STEEL PIPE BOLLARD PLACED IN FRONT OF THE CURB STOP TO PROTECT THE WALKWAY FRONT OF THE STORE. NO INJURIES OCCURRED TO MY WIFE, NO ONE WAS ON THE WALKWAY AT THE TIME. ONLY DAMAGE WAS TO THE BOLLARD (BENT OVER) PLASTIC BUMPER, GRILL AND RIGHT FRONT FENDER OF THE CAR. BOLLARD AND A TRASH RECEPTACLE BROUGHT THE CAR TO A STOP. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED. THE FIRST OCCASION WAS ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTIAL STREET APPROACHING...

APPROXIMATELY AROUND THE HIGH 4X,XXX MILES THE ENGINE STARTED GIVING ME EXTENDED CRANKING ISSUES. IT WOULD CRANK FOR 4-5 SECONDS AND NOT START AT ALL OR START BUT IDLES REALLY LOW LIKE ITS GOING TO DIE. I HAS DONE THIS COUNTLESS AMOUNT OF TIMES, EVEN CAUGHT IT ON VIDEO NUMEROUS TIMES ONLY BECAUSE EVERY TIME I BRING IT IN FOR THE STARTING ISSUE I ALWAYS GET THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR VEHICLE, HAVE A NICE DAY. IT GETS REALLY FRUSTRATING WHEN THE WIFE AND I DAILY DRIVE IT AND IT HAPPENS ABOUT 2-3 PER WEEK. AT TIMES WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR, IT SOUNDS LIKE ITS STILL ON FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THAN TURNS OFF LIKE WHEN A BUILDING LOSES POWER. ON ANOTHER HAND, OVER A MONTH AGO THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE OIL AND SAID I WAS REALLY LOW ON OIL. BUT THEIRS STILL NOTHING WRONG WITH...

CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR ERROR OCCURRED. GMC HAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR MODEL YEAR 2011 TERRAINS, BUT NOT 2010. SAME ISSUE IS AFFECTING THAT MODEL YEAR AS WELL. (VOLUNTARY RECALL 11195 & 11195A). *TR
