2011 GMC TERRAIN Engine Problems

ABS LIGHT IS ON EVEN AFTER FIXING THE SUPPOSED PROBLEM. SYSTEM STABILITRAK CONSTANTLY ON. EXCESSIVE USE OF OIL. 2 TO 3 QUARTZ EVERY 2 WEEKS. REDUCED ENGINE POWER COMES UP ON DASH AND NO MATTER HOW FAST I AM GOING (15 MPH OR 80 MPH ON A HIGHWAY) IT DOESNT MATTER MY CAR WILL SLOW DOWN OR JUST SHUT OFF. ALSO HAPPENS WHEN I HAVE TO HIT BRAKED HARD, SLOW DOWN OR ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION. I AM ALSO USING A LOT OF GAS.

THE CAR WAS TAKEN INTO STEVEN LUST AUTOMOTIVE AND WE WERE TOLD THAT A TRANSFER SEAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT GMC WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT WOULD ONLY WARRANTY THE ISSUE IF THE CAR WAS PRODUCED IN A CERTAIN FACTORY. SAME YEAR SAME MODEL ALL HAVING SAME ISSUE BUT PRODUCED IN A DIFFERENT PLANT. NOW THE STABILILTRAC WARNING COMES ON AND FROM RESEARCH ON THE WEB THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF ALSO BUT REFUSE TO FIX. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 66000 MILES ON IT. WE ALSO CONTACTED GMC AND THEY TOLD US THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT WARRANTY IT UNLESS IS WAS PRODUCED AT A CERTAIN FACTORY. WHEN THE STABILITRAC WARNING WAS NOTED I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUT DOWN. I DO BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE OIL LEAK...

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE AS LISTED IN THE MANUFACTURER SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT (PLUGGED PCV ORIFICE IN INTAKE MANIFOLD SB-10057977-8108, BULLETIN NO. 14882).

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000. *TT CONSUMER STATED DESIGN IS FLAWED AND NOT REPAIRED.*JB

VEHICLE NEEDS A TRANSFER CASE SEAL REPLACED . ALSO IT HAS A STABILITRAC WARNING WHICH SHUTS THE CAR DOWN CAUSED BY EXCESSIVE OIL USAGE. GMC HAS WARRANTY ON SOME OF THE MODELS DEPENDING ON WHICH PLANT MADE THEM. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME OF THE TRANSFER CASE ISSUE DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. THE STABILITRAC ISSUE WAS ON THE HIGHWAY

CAR HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE SINCE WE PURCHASED IT. CONSTANTLY BREAKING DOWN AND HAVING TO RESULT IN EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. 3 CATALYTIC CONVERTERS, ENGINE USED TO SHUT OFF DUE TO OVERHEATING.

THERE IS DEFINITELY A EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AS I JUST GOT A OIL CHANGE HUT THE 50 PERCENT OIL LIFE AND HAVING ISSUES AGAIN. WE HAVE CONTACTED HAZLETON NISSAN FOUND OUT THEY WERE CLOSING AFTER SIGNING A " SET FOR LIFE" CONTRACT WHICH HAD A POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. NOW I CANNOT USE MY WARRANTY.ANYWAY I WAS DRIVING HOME TONIGHT FROM WORK ON INTERSTATE 81 WHEN THE CAR WITHOUT WARNING JUST CUT OFF AND LOST ALL POWER. HE GOT IT TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT. AFTER IT STARTED HE BROUGHT IT TO A GAS STATION WHERE IT HAD STALLED AGAIN. GOT IT...

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I PURCHASED A 2011 TERRAIN NOT KNOWING THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THERE IS NO WARNING LIGHT JUST STARTED TAPPING IN THE ENGINE. NOTICED A KNOCKING/RATTLING IN ENGINE WHILE ACCELERATING AT SLOW SPEEDS, ON BOARD COMPUTER STATED REMAINING OIL LIVE WAS OVER 51%, HOWEVER NO OIL REGISTERED ON DIPSTICK. ADD OIL AND NOISE STOPPED. I ONLY DISCOVERED BECAUSE I STARTED TO HEAR A STRANGER NOISE WHEN I WAS STOPPED WITH THE CAR RUNNING.

2011 GMC TERRIAN, CURRENT MILEAGE 60,179 PURCHASED USED FROM NORTHWEST MOTORSPORTS VALLEY AVE. PUYALLUP, CAR STARTED PINKING AND I SPOKE TO THE SALESMAN CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE VEHICLE TO GMC HARNISH RIVER ROAD.I WAS TOLD BY GMC HARNISH THERE WAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION RECALL WITH MY VEHICLE AND MY VEHICLE WAS PLACED ON A OIL CONSUMPTION WORKSHEET. ONCE DOCUMENTED PISTON AND RINGS WOULD BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN TO MONITOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION WHICH IT DID USE OIL AND OIL HAD TO BE ADDED.

I HAVE A 2011 GMC TERRAIN THAT HAS AROUND 73,000 MILES ON IT, AND THE TIMING JUMPED, CAUSING THE CAR TO DIE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, AND WOULD NOT RESTART AT ALL. WHEN I CALLED GMC CUSTOMER CARE, THEY WERE SLIGHTLY HELPFUL, UNTIL THEY FOUND I PURCHASED THE CAR USED.. I BELIEVE AT THE LOW MILEAGE OF MY VEHICLE, THAT IT SHOULD NOT HAVE JUMPED TIME. I AM REALLY UPSET THAT GMC BASICALLY TOLD ME "TOO BAD" WHEN THEY FOUND OUT I PURCHASED USED.

I PURCHASED A 2011 TERRAIN NOT KNOWING THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I HAVE CALLED GMC FOR A FIX AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT NHSA IS THE ONE WHO DECIDES WHAT VIN # GET A LETTER TO GET THE MOTOR FIXED. I DISAGREE WITH THIS SINCE FIR THE OTHER VIN# ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WHY WOULD YOU NOT INCLUDE ALL MODELS EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE? MY QUESTION IS HOW CAN I GET THIS RESOLVED TO GET GMC TO SEND ME THE LETTER THAT OTHERS HAVE RECEIVED REGARDING THIS ISSUE?

MY TERRAIN HAS 104,000 MILES I WAS DRIVING IT WHEN THE TIMING BELT BROKE AND DESTROYED THE ENGINE. THE MECHANIC SAYS IT WAS DUE TO LACK OF OIL CHANGES BUT THAT IS A LIE BECAUSE I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP EVERY TIME AND I HAD ON STAR ACTIVE SO THE COULD REMIND ME TOO I BROUGHT IT TO BARKER GMC IN YOU MA LA THEY HAVE A RECORD OF MY SERVICE.I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN IT STARTED SHAKING AND IT JUST QUIT WORKING WENT COMPLETELY OUT I HAD TO HAVE IT TOW AWAY.I EVEN CALLED GM MOTOR WITH NO RESULTS NOW IT WIL COST OVER 7000.00 FOR A NEW MOTOR I JUST FINISHED PAYING FOR MY CAR I CAN'T AFFORD THIS PLEASE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS INTERNAL OIL CONSUMPTION FAILURE CONCERNING THE ENGINE, WHICH AFFECTED OTHER COMPONENTS IN THE VEHICLE. THE INDEPENDENT FACILITY WHO SOLD THE VEHICLE TO THE CONTACT WAS TO HAVE THEIR MECHANIC PROVIDE AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST; HOWEVER, THEY INDICATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD A SPECIAL COVERAGE CAMPAIGN TO PROVIDE A REMEDY. THE DEALER (MANDAL BUICK GMC IN D'LBERVILLE, MS 39540, (228) 392-1515) WAS CONTACTED AND INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY TWO MONTHS. THE DEALER WAS TO PROVIDE AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST AS WELL; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT HAD NOT APPROVED THE DEALER TO PROVIDE THE TESTING DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING EXCLUDED FROM A WARRANTY CAMPAIGN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT PROVIDED NO SPECIFIC TESTING RECOMMENDATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

AFTER A 2 HOUR HIGHWAY DRIVE I NOTICED THE VEHICLE BEGAN RUNNING LOUD, A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AS I WAS GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER PARKING AND SHUTTING THE VEHICLE DOWN AND LETTING IT REST, I WENT TO RESTART IT. AGAIN IT WAS STILL LOUD BUT QUICKLY SHUT ITSELF OFF AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP. UPON INSPECTION, THE TIMING CHAIN WENT OUT CAUSING, TO QUOTE THE SERVICE MANAGER, "CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE" THAT WAS WELL BEYOND ABLE TO BE REPAIRED.

I PURCHASED MY CAR USED IN SEPTEMBER TWO WEEKS LATER I STARTED EXPERIENCING STALLING AND ERRATIC JERKING WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR (WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY) AND WAS TOLD NOT TO WORRY IT'S JUST THE O2 SENSORS. THE CAR WAS LOOSING OIL LIKE CRAZY. DECEMBER THE CAR BECAME WORSE AND STALLED AND WOULD NOT START. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME I NEED A NEW ENGINE, I AM NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND STILL PAYING FOR THIS CAR. NO ONE WILL HELP ME SO NOW I'M STUCK WITH A PAYMENT AND AN INOPERABLE CAR.. OH DID I MENTION I GOT A CAR FAX ONCE THE CAR BROKE DOWN TO SEE THE VEHICLE HISTORY THE TITLE IS BRANDED MANUFACTOR BUY BACK/LEMON.. I HAVE SEEN ON SEVERAL FORUMS AND GOOGLE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED AND GM WILL NOT DO A RECALL THIS...

WHILE DRIVE DOWN THE INTERSTATE MY CAR SAID SERVICE STABILITY TRACK THEN SAID ENGINE POWER REDUCED, SPEED DROPPED DRAMATICALLY THEN SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN BACK OVER. HAD IT TOWED TO THE SHOP ONLY TO FIND OUT THE ENGINE LOCKED UP DUE TO NO OIL. DEALER SAID IT WAS DUE TO A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM WITH EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION! I HAD MY OIL CHANGED AND A FULL TUNE UP 2 WEEKS AGO! CALLED TO CHECK RECALLS ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT IN FACT THERE WAS AN RECALL FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION BUT MY VIN WASN'T INVOLVED. DEALER SAYS IN FACT IT SHOULD BE! THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A ACCIDENT AND CAUSED MY CHILDREN AND I TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED!

VEHICLE CONSUMES 2 QUARTS OF ALL EVERY 1500 MILES ONLY HAD THE TRUCK FORA YEAR AND A HALF. ALSO IT HAS THIS TERRIBLE RATTLING NOISE.

VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE AFTER PULLING OFF THE HIGHWAY ONTO A BUSY CITY ROAD. THE CAUSE WAS OIL SPILLING ONTO THE HOT EXHAUST AFTER CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE WHEN THE PISTON RODS WENT THROUGH THE SIDE OF THE BLOCK. A BYSTANDER HAD A FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT IN THE ENGINE BAY, AFTER I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS ACCORDING TO OUR INSURANCE COMPANY, BUT WE HAVE A CLAIM ON OUR RECORD WITH INSURANCE GOING UP SINCE GM WOULD NOT COVER THE CLAIM BECAUSE THE MILEAGE WAS OVER 100,000 MILES EVEN THOUGH THIS OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE WAS PRESENT WELL BEFORE 100,000 MILES. SOMETIME PRIOR TO THIS THE DEALER PERFORMED A PISTON REBUILD FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. AFTER THE REPAIR THE VEHICLE MADE A KNOCKING NOISE ON START UP. THE DEALER PASSED THIS OFF AND WE WERE...

I BOUGHT A USED 2011 GMC TERRAIN WITH A CLEAN CARFAX AND 35000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. THE CAR BURN AT LEAST A QUART OF OIL EVERY 2 WEEKS. THE CONSTANTLY JUST CUTS OFF WHEN DRIVING. GMC NEEDS TO DO SOMETIME ABOUT THIS BEFORE PEOLPE ARE KILLED.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR CUT OFF AS SOON AS I SLOWED DOWN GETTING OFF THE EXIT. I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND IT SAID THAT THE STABILITRACK WAS OFF AND THAT I WAS LOSING ENGINE POWER. I GOT TO SAFETY, CHECKED MY FLUIDS AND I HAD NO OIL IN THE CAR. BUT I CHANGED THE OIL RECENTLY AND HAD 3,000 MORE MILES TILL MY NEXT OIL CHANGE. I TOWED THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND DESCRIBED WHAT HAPPENED. HE TOLD ME THAT THEIR WAS AN INTERNAL ENGINE FAILURE THAT CAUSED THE TIMING BELT TO BREAK. I CALLED MY INSURANCE AND THEY HAD A FIELD ADJUSTER LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND HE NOR THE MECHANIC COULD FIGURE OUT WHY OR HOW THIS HAPPENED ON SUCH A WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE. THEY BOTH STATED THAT THERE IS NO WAY THAT I SHOULD HAVE HAD 2 MAJOR SYSTEM...

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE REMAINED RUNNING BUT ABRUPTLY STOPPED. I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND WITH SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. IT LEFT ME STRANDED ON A 2 LANE ROAD UNABLE TO MOVE OUT OF THE LANE. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND THE STABILITRAC WORDS CAME UP ON MY DASH. THEN IT SAID POWERING DOWN. THEN MY VEHICLE STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AND I PULLED OVER AND SHUT IT OFF. I WAITED A MINUTE AND SHUT OFF TRACTION CONTROL BUTTON. THEN STARTED AGAIN AND A FEW MINUTES LATER THE WORDS CAME ON AGAIN AND IT STARTED RUNNING ROUGH. I SHUT IT OFF AGAIN AND WAITED AND GOT IT HOME SLOWLY ABOUT 3 MILES.

ENGINE HAS BURNED 2QT. OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGE WHICH I DIDN'T KNOW. ENGINE SEIZED UP. IT JUST STOPPED. HAD IT TOW TO DEALER THEY WANT 9000.00 DOLLARS TO FIX. STILL HAVE SUV BUT DOSE NOT RUN. DO BUY GMC TERRAIN .

WHILE I WAS DRIVING 35-45 MILES PER HOUR THE TRUCK TURNED OFF ON ITS OWN SO I PARKED TRUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TRIED TO TURN VEHICLE ON AGAIN, IT TURNED ON AGAIN AND I CONTINUED DRIVING 20-30 PER HOUR. THEN AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WHEN IT TURNED GREEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND THERE WAS A LOUD SOUND PLUS WE FELT LIKE IT HAD JUMPED.

THE VEHICLE IS CONSUMING UP TO 2 QTS OF OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. THE LOW OIL LEVEL LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE, EVEN WHEN THE OIL LEVEL FALLS BELOW 2 QTS LOW.

THE ENGINE WILL RANDOMLY STALL AND SHUT OFF. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS OF YOU GOOGLE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED, ALLOWING FUMES INTO CAR

"TAKATA RECALL" MY VEHICLE IS BURNING 2-3 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN SCHEDULED OIL CHANGES. I HAVE RETURNED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 DIFFERENT TIMES, ONLY TO BE TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS THOROUGHLY, AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS REGARDING EXTREME OIL CONSUMPTION. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY DRIVEN IN THE CITY. I VERY RARELY TAKE IT ON AN INTERSTATE OR HIGHWAY. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF LEAKAGE ON MY DRIVEWAY, PARKING SPOT AT WORK, OR ON THE UNDERNEATH SIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC TERRAIN. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A STOP SIGN, IT LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER ONE ATTEMPT.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,783. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE A 2011 GMC TERRAIN WITH 59000 MILES ON IT AND THE CATALIC CONVERTOR IS ROTTING AWAY AND I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS ANY OTHER PROBLEMS OR IF IT WILL BE COVERED

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...

THIS CAR STALLS FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE FIXED IT MULTIPLE TIMES BUT NO FIX WORKS. IT STALLED ON ME WHILE EXITING THE FREEWAY YESTERDAY, VERY SCARY SITUATION. I AM WORRIED I WILL BE IN A WRECK. I PRESS THE GAS AND THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. VERY DANGEROUS IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT STALLS WHILE MAKING A TURN IN A INTERSECTION. ALMOST GOT T-BONED THE OTHER DAY WHEN IT STALLED WHILE A CAR WAS ONCOMING. SINCE GM IS NOT WILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM AND HAVE NOT FIX IN PLACE I WILL BE GETTING RID OF THE CAR AT MY LOSS.

WE BOUGHT IT USED IN 2013 AND SHORTLY AFTER IT STARTED HAVE SERIOUS ISSUES . IT STARTED WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMING ON AND IT POWER DOWN. THEN IT WOULD STAY RUNNING SPITTING AND SPUTTERING AFTER WE TURNED THE KEY OFF . SO THEN WE RECEIVED A LETTER STATING THERE IS A RECALL AND TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT FIXED . SO THEY FIXED IT OR AT LEAST THEY SAID IT WAS , SO WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON SO I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND CATALYTIC CONVERT . THEN WE CHANGED THOSE PARTS AND IT STILL HAS THE ENGINE LIGHT ON AND SPITTING AND SPUTTERING AFTER WE TURN THE KEY OFF.

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED THREE WEEKS AGO. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE OTHER DAY AND I HAD THE CODE READ. IT SAID MY INTAKE CAMSHAFT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE LIGHT TURNED OFF A DAY LATER, BUT I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ANYWAYS AND THEY SAID SOMETIMES IT WILL JUST RED CODES WRONG AND NOT TOO WORRY ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW. A FEW DAYS AFTER THAT I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND WENT TO ACCELERATE AND MY CARE SHUT OFF. THIS THEN HAPPENED THE NEXT DAY AFTER I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND LATER THE SAME DAY WHEN I WENT TO PARK MY CAR ON THE STREET. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS IN LOW IDLE.I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS BY OTHER GMC TERRAIN OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I DON'T NEED TO BE STUCK IN TRAFFIC STALLED WITH THE...

THERE I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A FAULTY CHAIN THAT COMES FROM ENGINE THAT DRIVES THE WATER PUMP TO WORK CORRECTLY. WELL, GMC KNEW OF THE PROBLEM . AS I FOUND OUT ,THEY HAD PUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THAT PART . NO RECALL, NO NOTIFICATION TO OWNERS THAT THIS COULD BECOME AN ISSUE. I WAS ON INTERSTATE 10 AND HAD THE CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC I WOULD PROBABLY NOT BE HERE TODAY. THEY ARE FIXING THE CHAIN BUT NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY ARE FINDING ALL KIND OF OTHER PROBLEMS WHILE IN THE MOTOR. I AM TRYING TO AT...
