2010 GMC Terrain Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD CRACKED WHERE THE AIR BAG WAS LOCATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEAT AND DEFROST FAILED TO WORK WITHOUT WARNING. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V489000 (VISIBILITY). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

THE DRIVER AIR BAG LIGHT WENT ON AND MY CAR IT'S NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

DRIVING BACK FROM A TWO HOUR TRIP AT APROX 55 MPH OUR 2010 GMC STARTED FLASHING "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND "SERVICE STABILITRAK" WITH THE STABILITRAK LIGHT. SPEED DROPPED DOWN TO ABOUT 30 MPH WITHOUT CONTROL. THE CAR WAS IDLING HEAVING WITH RMPS JUMPING. WE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED THE CAR, THE ONLY LIGHT THAT REMAINED ON WAS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. SPEED CONTROL WAS RESTORED. BY THE TIME WE MADE IT HOME, APROX 20 MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED OFF. THEN A COUPLE WEEKS LATER AGAIN, TWICE IN ONE NIGHT, BACK TO BACK. I CALLED THE DEALER FOR AN APPOINTMENT BECAUSE I ASSUMED IT WOULD BE COVERED BY A GMC WARRANTY, THEY DID NOT HAVE AVAILABILITY FOR 7+ DAYS. THE NIGHT BEFORE MY APPOINTMENT IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT DID NOT CORRECT ITSELF AND WE HAD TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT 30 MPH. I JUST RECEIVED THE NEWS, $800 LATER, IT NEEDS A NEW THROTTLE BODY, EXHAUST CAM SOLENOID AND ANOTHER REPAIR TO THE CAMSHAFT. I DO NOT HAVE THE PAPERWORK BACK FROM THE DEALER YET FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS, BUT AM DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2010 GMC TERRAINS AND THEY TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE REPAIRS. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THERE IS A LOT OF POTENTIAL DANGER TO HAVING YOUR SPEED DROP WITH NO WARNING OR CONTROL.

VEHICLE STARTED MAKING LOUD RUBBING NOISE COMING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL. IF VEHICLE HAD CONTINUED TO BE DRIVEN, IT IS POSSIBLE THE WHEEL COULD HAVE FALLEN OFF. THE WHEEL HUB BEARING WAS DEFECTIVE. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET FORUMS IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A REOCCURING PROBLEM ON GMC TERRAINS AND CHEVROLET EQUINOX. GMC REFUSED TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY AND AFTER SUBMISSION TO THEM FOR REIMBURSEMENT, THEY DECILINED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND THE DEFROSTER WAS ENGAGED, THE DEFROST FAILED TO OPERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V489000 (VISIBILITY). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

DRIVING THE VEHICLE DURING THE HEAVY RAIN AND NOTICED THAT DEFOGGING/DEFROSTING OF THE WINDSHIELD ARE NOT BLOWING THE AIR ON IT FROM DASHBOARD VENTS.VISIBILITY WAS VERY LIMITED AND HAVE TO USE TOWEL TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD SO I CAN SEE WHERE I'M GOING.MAKE A STOP AND NOTICED THAT THE AIR IS ONLY COMING FROM VENTS TO THE FLOOR AND FRONT NOT MATTER WHAT THE CONTROL IS SET TO.WAS LUCKY TO GET HOME SAFELY BUT DO NOT WANT TO EXPERIENCE THIS SITUATION AGAIN.TODAY DROP CAR AT GMC SERVICE WHERE THEIR FOUND THAT MODE DOOR ACTUATOR IS BAD CAUSING DEFOGGING/DEFROSTING FUTURE ON THE CAR TO BE INOPERATIVE IF IT IS NOT REPLACED.I THINK THAT IS RESPONSIBILITY OF GM TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM FOR ALL OWNERS OF GMC TERRAIN WHO EXPERIENCE SAME PROBLEM AT NO COST TO THEM FOR THEIR SAFETY AND SAFETY OF ALL USING PUBLIC ROADS. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT MADE UNKNOWN REPAIRS INDEPENDENTLY TO THE VEHICLE BUT THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE .THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

I COULDN'T RESTART MY CAR RIGHT AFTER I STOPPED AT A PARKING STALL IN THE MORNING, BUT I CAN HEAR "CLICK" SOUND. DASH BOARD SHOWS WARNINGS:"STABILITRAK.."(I DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY THE WORDS), "BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE!" AND "SERVICE POWER STEERING". HOWEVER, I MANAGED TO JUMP MY CABLE AFTER 20MINS, AND STEP ON GAS AT THE SAME TIME WHEN I TURNED THE IGNITION KEY, FINALLY I START MY ENGINE AFTER 3 OR 4 TIMES. IN THE AFTERNOON, WHEN I TURNED ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS BUT NOT CRANK, POWER WINDOWS DIDN'T WORK AT ALL, WHICH USED TO WORK WELL, AND "SERVICE POWER STEERING" APPEARS AGAIN. *TR

I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT, WHEN I ACCELERATED THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE, I TRIED CHANGING GEARS IT WOULD NOT GO IN DRIVE OR REVERSE, AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT DID GO INTO DRIVE AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT INTO A PARKING LOT AT THAT TIME I PARKED AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED THE VEHICLE BACK UP AND AT THAT TIME IT WOULD NOT DRIVE IN EITHER GEAR. I CALLED GMC ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WHO COULD NOT GET IT TO DO ANYTHING EITHER THEY HAD TO PUT IT ON A LIFT TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. AT THIS TIME I AM WAITING ON THE DEALERSHIP TO TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED AT A STOP. I AM SERIOUSLY CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF MY WIFE. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENS AND SHE INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE HER VEHICLE BASICALLY SHUTS OFF AND LEAVES HER VERY VULNERABLE? WHAT IF THE VEHICLE STALLS DURING DRIVING? GMC IS NO HELP, I HAVE CALLED AND ALL THEY SAY IS THERE IS NO RECALL. I GET ON THEIR WEBSITE AND IT DOES NOT WORK. WE HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE IGNITION, HAVING TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND ALSO THE TIMING CHAIN MAKING HORRIBLE NOISE. THE LATEST INCIDENT REALLY CONCERNS ME AS IT MAY PLACE MY WIFE IN SERIOUS DANGER. PLEASE HELP! *TR

I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS ENGINE SINCE I FIRST LEASED THE CAR BRAND NEW IN 2010 AND EVENTUALLY BOUGHT IT. THE SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AT VARIOUS TIMES, COUPLED WITH REALLY ROUGH IDLE. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AS IT WAS SO RANDOM I NEVER THOUGHT I HAD A SERIOUS ENGINE DEFECT. IN JULY OF 2014 I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 60 MILES TO WORK ONE WAY, AND THAT IS WHEN THE REAL TROUBLE BEGAN. THE SERVICE STABILITRAK ERROR MESSAGE WOULD COME ON SEVERAL TIMES DURING THOSE CAR TRIPS REDUCING POWER. I WOULD PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF, TURN IT BACK ON, AND MOST TIMES THE CAR RESUMED NORMAL DRIVING CONDITION. ONE DAY IN JULY 2014 THE CAR JUST DIED, IT WOULDN'T RUN. I HAD IT TOWED TO A GMC DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AS I HAD UNDER 36,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THEY REPLACED TRANSMISSION, TRANSAXLE, TENSIONER, CHAIN, CHAIN PACKAGE, GASKET, WATER PUMP, AND BALANCE SHAFT REPLACEMENT. THEY ALSO REPROGRAMMED ECM AND PERFORMED MORE DIAGNOSTICS ON SERVICE ENGINE SOON WARNING LIGHT. FROM JANUARY 2015 THRU JULY 2015 I'VE HAD HORRIBLE ISSUES WITH SERVICE STABILITRAK ERRORS AND THE ENGINE GOING INTO LOW POWER MODE. IT WOULD GO AWAY LONG ENOUGH PERIODS THAT I JUST DIDN'T GET IT LOOKED AT BUT NOW IT COMES ON REDUCING POWER EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR. I REALLY HOPE THIS IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SOMEHOW OR ABLE TO BE FIXED THROUGH RECALL. I FEEL LIKE I GOT A LEMON FROM THE BEGINNING BUT DIDN'T KNOW UNTIL MUCH LATER. I'M HESITANT TO TAKE IT INTO A DEALER AGAIN NOW AFTER READING SO ANY HORROR STORIES ABOUT HOW THE DEALERS ARE GUESSING ON HOW TO SOLVE THE ISSUES AND FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE OF NOT GETTING MY ISSUES RESOLVED BY THE DEALER. I'M NOT BLAMING THE DEALER, BUT IT SEEMS THERE IS A FUNDAMENTAL DESIGN FLAW WITH THIS ENGINE.

ON TOP OF VISIBILITY PROBLEMS, HEAT WORKS ONLY WHEN IT FEELS LIKE TO , HEATING OF RADIO CONTROL PANEL, LIGHTS ARE FLICKERING, SOMETIMES TOTALLY INVISIBLE,(CANT READ CONTROLS) RECALL THAT WAS ON SOME 2010 TERRAINS IS CLEARLY A RECALL FOR MY CAR, BUT GMC CLAIMS THAT MY CAR HAS NO RECALL. DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT SPEED OF 65 MPH IT SUDDENLY RAINED, I TURNED WIPERS ON THEY GOT STUCK IN MIDDLE OF WINDSHIELD MAKING IT TOTALLY INVISIBLE OF MATTER OF SECONDS. IF I WAS NOT IN CAR ACCIDENT THEN I'M HOPING I NEVER WILL BE. HAD TO QUICKLY OPEN PASSENGER SIDE DOOR TO SEE WHERE I CAN PULL OVER TO THE SIDE. I'M GLAD NO 1 WAS RIGHT BEHIND ME, OTHERWISE THERE WOULD BE UNAVOIDABLE ACCIDENT. AS SOMEONE ELSE CLAIMED THE WIPER ARM ASSEMBLY BECAME DISCONNECTED FROM THE WIPER MOTOR ( I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THEM BY HAND) THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

I KNOW IM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS THIS PROBLEM WITH THEIR TERRAIN...I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW DEC 2010..AND NOW IM TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE PAINT IS PEELING OFF THE VEH DOWN TO THE BARE METAL..IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE THAT MY VEH HAS 70K MILES ON IT....APPARENTLY THE GM HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE PAINTING PROCESS AT THE PLANT WHERE IT WAS BUILD.....I FOUND A TERRAIN FORUM ON THE INTERNET WHERE EVERYBODY CAN COMPLAIN ABOUT THEIR VEHICLES AND LOW AND BEHOLD THERE IS A PAINT PROBLEM.. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2010 TERRAIN, MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT REPEATEDLY CAME ON.I TOOK IT TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS,I WAS TOLD THE AIRBAG CONNECTOR WIRES WERE DEFECTIVE. THIS IS THE STATEMENT THE DEALERSHIP PUT ON MY REPAIR INVOICE : DIAGNOSTICS.& HISTORY CODE B0014.FOUND DOCUMENT # 2601877.SUGGEST FOLLOWING THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE.MORE MAY BE NEEDED BUT THIS IS A PLACE TO START.REPLACE AIRBAG CONNECTOR ENDS AND TERMINALS ON BOTH FRONT SEATS.AS DESCRIBED IN DOC. #26011877. MORE WORK MAY BE NEEDED.THIS COULD BE A STARTING POINT...WHAT A STATEMENT TO MAKE ,WHEN IT COMES TO A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH COST $359.58 TO REPAIR.THE DEFECT WAS IN THE INSTALLATION & THE WIRING OF THE CONNECTORS INSTALL IN THE VEHICLE. AS STATED ABOVE GMC KNEW THIS PROBLEM EXISTED ACCORDING THE CODE B0014 & DOC.#26011877 SUPPLIED TO THE DEALERSHIPS. *TR

WE STARTED THE CAR AND WENT TO TAKE OFF AND OUR AIRBAG SIGNAL LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND BEEPING. ONCE WE GOT HOME AND PARKED IT, THE LIGHT WENT OFF. WELL ABOUT A MONTH LATER WHILE DRIVING TO CT FROM FL THE DINGING AND FLASHING LIGHT STARTED AGAIN. AND STAYED ON FROM ABOUT VA TO CT. IT HAD SINCE WENT OFF AND NOW COMES ON AND OFF OFTEN. AND ON OUR WAY HOME OUR WINDSHIELD WIPER WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. AS IF IT HAD TO HAVE A REST PERIOD. (NOT AN OPTION IN THE RAIN, ON THE HIGHWAY). *TR

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO RADLEY CHEVROLET IN FREDERICKSBURG, VA TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE COST WAS $1125.00. THE SUV IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. THE MILEAGE IS HIGH BECAUSE I TOW IT BEHIND MY MOTORHOME. THE REAL RUNNING MILES SHOULD BE SOMEWHERE IN THE LOW 60,000 MILES RANGE. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE SUV WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT A 4 YEAR CAR NEEDS TO HAVE SUCH AN EXPENSIVE PART REPLACED AND ESPECIALLY ONE THAT INVOLVES THE EMISSIONS OF THE CAR. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE COVERED. *TR

VEHICLE FAILED PENNSYLVANIA INSPECTION DUE TO SIDEWALL CRACKING ON ALL FOUR OEM MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR P235/55R18 TIRES (FRONT TIRES HAVE 6/32" TREAD DEPTH REMAINING, REAR TIRES HAVE 7/32" TREAD DEPTH REMAINING). VEHICLE DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL ALL TIRES ARE REPLACED DUE TO RISK OF BLOWOUT. MICHELIN CAMPAIGN #13T006000 DOES NOT COVER THIS PARTICULAR TIRE, EVEN THOUGH SIDEWALL DEFECT IS THE SAME AS THAT AFFECTING THOSE TIRES THAT ARE INCLUDED IN RECALL. OWNER WAS OFFERED A 60% DISCOUNT ON REPLACEMENT TIRES FROM AN AUTHORIZED MICHELIN RETAILER, WHICH MANUFACTURER'S EXECUTIVE RESPONSE MANAGER CALLED "FAIR." MICHELIN NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFECT BY RECALLING AND REPLACING THESE TIRES BEFORE AN EXPECTANT MOTHER LIKE MYSELF IS KILLED DRIVING ON THEM. EITHER MICHELIN STANDS BY ITS WORKMANSHIP AND MATERIALS WARRANTY OR THEY DO NOT. *JS

FRONT WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. THE WIPER ARM ASSEMBLY BECAME DISCONNECTED FROM THE WIPER MOTOR SO THAT THE WIPERS STOPPED MOVING BACK AND FORTH. THERE WAS IMMEDIATE LOSS OF VISIBILITY DUE TO THE HEAVY RAIN. THE DISCONNECTED WIPER ARMS COULD BE MOVED BACK AND FORTH OVER THE WINDSHIELD BY HAND (STAYING IN TANDEM WITH EACH OTHER) AND THAT IS HOW I KNOW THEY DISCONNECTED FROM THE MOTOR. THE DESIGN OF THIS SYSTEM SHOULD BE MORE FAILSAFE, AND A FAILURE IN THE SYSTEM PRESENTS AN IMMINENT DANGER DUE TO THE LOSS OF VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN. *TR

IGNITION SHUTOFF' WHILE DRIVING; THIS OCCURRED AT LEAST 8 TIMES; TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE ISSUE, BUT THEY DID SUGGEST HAVING MY FUEL LINES REPLACED AT A COST OF $400. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THE SOFTWARE IN THE CENTER INSTRUMENT PANEL CAUSED THE HEATING AND DEFROST UNIT TO MALFUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V489000 (VISIBILITY). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75,202. UPDATED 06/09/14*LJ UPDATED 06/13/2014 *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC TERRAIN EQUIPPED WITH MICHELIN TIRES LINE LATITUDE TOUR TIRES, SIZE P235-55-R18, AND DOT NUMBER: M33J-007. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL TIRES EXHIBITED TREAD SEPARATION AND CRACKS FROM THE SIDEWALL. ADDITIONALLY, THE STEEL BELT WAS SEPARATED. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TR

INVOLVED IN A 21 CAR PILE UP IN THE UPPER PENINSULA DURING A COMPLETE WHITE OUT. WE WERE ONLY TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES PER HOUR BUT, WE DID HAVE SERIOUS IMPACT IN THE FRONT, AFTER HITTING A TRAILER AND ALSO SERIOUS IMPACT FROM BEHIND WHEN HIT BY A TRUCK AND TRAILER. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE TRUCK TRAVELING AHEAD OF US, THAT WE HIT, THE AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY. MY FATHER AND BROTHER, WHO WERE ALSO BOTH DRIVING CHEVY TRUCKS, AND ALSO HAD SERIOUS FRONT END DAMAGE DURING THE SAME ACCIDENT, THEIR AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY EITHER. *TR

I HIT A BUMP ABOUT A MONTH AGO, AND NOW MY "SERVICE AIRBAGS" LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. I HAVE NOT HAD A COLLISION, BUT NOW EVERYTIMES I HIT A BUMP I GET A DING AND THE "SERVICE AIRBAGS." NOT SURE IF ANY RECALSS ON ARE FOR THIS PROBLEMS. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND DISPLAY READ POWER STEERING PROBLEM. AFTER GETTING OFF THE HIGHWAY AND COMING TO A STOP AT A REDLIGHT, THE CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. IT HAD NO POWER, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS RUNNING AND ENGINE WAS IDLING HARD AND MAKING A TERRIBLE NOISE. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER AND THE FIXED THE CAM ACTUATOR. CAR DROVE FINE FOR ANOTHER 2,000 MILES AND SAME ISSUED OCCURRED. IT IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED...AGAIN. WILL FILE ANOTHER COMPLAINT WHEN I KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS. *TR

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD DOING SPEED LIMIT OF 40 MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AND BY IT SELF DROPPED TO 20 MPH. DROVE TO APT AND SHUT CAR OFF. WHEN STARTED BACK UP IT SEEMED OK. TOOK TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND STABILIZERS. WHICH THOSE LIGHTS CAME ON AS IT HAPPENED. ENGINE POWER CONTROL LIGHT ALSO CAME ON. DEALER SAID THEY HAD TO ORDER PARTS AND WOULD COST AROUND $600. WOW. SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF THE SAME ISSUES ON HERE. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD PUT A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, 65 MPH. WITHOUT WARNING THE CARS DISPLAY SAID SERVICE STABILITRAK AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER. CARS COMING UP BEHIND ME FAST, HAD TO PULL OVER, NO POWER. ALMOST WRECKED / DIED. DEALER SAYS CAN'T RECREATE ISSUE AND CLEARED CODES. I'M AFRAID IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

ALL FOUR TIRES SEPARATED. *TR

VEHICLE QUICKLY DECELERATED FROM ABOUT 46 MPH TO 5 MPH. IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 5 MPH. NO WARNING SIGNS BEFORE HAND, HAPPENED OUT OF NOWHERE. THEN AN ERROR LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. GMC MECHANIC STATED THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD AND REPLACED IT, IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY (COST $540.00). THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT ON A FREEWAY OR BUSY STREET, OR COULD LEAVE SOMEONE STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH NO WARNING. *TR

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 UNDER THE ENGINE WARRANTY (AS IT DID IN PREVIOUS YEARS) AND NOW ASSIGNS IT TO THE EMISSION SYSTEM WHICH IS NOT COVERED. I HAVE SEEN THIS PROBLEM LISTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET ON MANY VEHICLES. IT IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN THE CAR SLOWS DOWN LIKE THIS ON THE HIGHWAY. PLEASE ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE LONG LIST OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR

I WAS GOING ABOUT 40 MPH ABOUT TO GET ON THE FREEWAY, WHEN MY CAR BEGIN A LOUD NOISE, SHAKING, AND DROPPED SPEED TO ABOUT 20 MPH. THE DASHBOARD SAID SOMETHING ALSO ABOUT NO POWER, NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL, CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. INSTEAD OF GETTING ON FREEWAY I PULLED OVER TO A GAS STATION. I CUT THE CAR OFF AND LEFT OFF FOR A MINUTE. I CUT IT BACK ON AND WAS RUNNING NORMAL. I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE THROTTLE BODY AND THEY WOULD REPLACE FOR ME. THE PROBLEM IS THAT NO ONE BOTHER TO NOTIFY ME, AND IF I HAD NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM MIGHT NOT HAD KNOWN. *TR

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 A STOP SIGN. AS THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN AND I WAS PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE CAR KEPT MOVING FORWARD WITH THE BRAKES BEING FULLY APPLIED. COULD HEAR THE ENGINE STRAINING AT AN INCREASED RPM. I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND JAMMED IT DOWN HARD AGAIN AND THE CAR CAME TO A STOP AT THE STOP SIGN WITH THE ENGINE IN NORMAL IDLE. IN THE THREE YEARS WE HAVE OWNED THIS CAR THESE ARE THE ONLY OCCASIONS THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED. *TR

2010 GMC TERRAIN STARTED MAKING A RATTLING NOISE AND SHAKING A STOP, LIKE A ROUGH IDLE, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED UNDER WARRANTY, HAD TO REPLACE WATER PUMP, BALANCE SHAFT CHAIN AND TENSIONER REPLACED INTAKE AND EXHAUST. CAMSHAFT POSITION ACTUATORS AND BOLTS REPLACED HIGH PRESSURE, FUEL PUMP REPLACED V/C GASKET TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER AND LEFT TIMING CHAIN GUIDE. THAT WAS REPLACED 09/07/13 IN WARRANTY. NOW IT IS 3/09/15 AND THE SAME PROBLEMS HAVE COME UP AGAIN AND MY CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP AT THE DEALERSHIP , THAT MEANS THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE OF ENGINE AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT BECAUSE OF IT. *TR

EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING; 1ST ACCELERATING TO ABOUT 20 MPH, RESTARTED VEHICLE, DROVE ABOUT 4 MILES TO MY HOME DOING APPROX. 35 MILES MPH, VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AGAIN. HAVE APPT WITH WILKENS-BUICK, GLEN BURNIE, MD ON 8/28/2013; HOPE I MAKE IT WITHOUT SOMEONE CRASHING INTO ME BECAUSE OF THE SHUTDOWN. JUST HAD 20000 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WORK DONE. V6-2994 3.0L DOHC. *TR

PROBLEM WITH GMC PRODUCTS I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2010 GMC TERRAIN FROM STAR GMC . SINCE 2013 I'VE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STBILITRAK LIGHT COMES, CAR WILL NOT MOVE AND THE ENGINE IS RUNNING BUT NOT POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD THIS CAR. ONE TIME THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE THE GAS CAP WAS NOT TIGHT. THAT IS THE ERROR CODE THEY GOT, WHICH IS NOT TRUE, I ALWAYS TIGHTEN TILL I HEAR IT CLICK.3 TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD THE AUTOMOBILE, THE STABILTRAK LIGHT WOULD COME ON, THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING, BUT NO POWER, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. NOW THE LAST TIME I BROUGHT IT IN FOR THIS PROBLEM, SERVICE TELLS ME THEY FOUND AN ELECTRONIC LINK SWITCH WHICH WAS NO GOOD AND THEY REPLACED IT,MEAN TIME I GO ON GOOGLE AND FIND THERE ARE MANY SAME SUCH PROBLEMS OUT THERE, AND THE DEALERS DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AD SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED RIGHT AWAY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. I'M STILL NOT SURE THAT THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM, AND I WORRY EVERY TIME MY WIFE TAKES THE CAR OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND NOTICED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN HAD FRACTURED. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT NOTICED FUEL FUMES EMITTING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN, WATER PUMP, FUEL PUMP, PISTONS, SPARK PLUGS, GASKET AND MULTIPLE UNKNOWN PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. HOWEVER, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING AT A LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE AT APPROXIMATELY 3 MPH, SHE NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE DRIVER'S SEAT CONNECTION BOX WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE AIR BAG HARNESS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

IT STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN 12/13 REPLACED EXHAUST CAM SOLENOID AND AGAIN IN JANUARY 2014 WHEN THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE CAMSHAFT POSITION EXHAUST ACTUATOR. THE HAVE ALSO AT DIFFERENT TIMES HAD TO REPLACE THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP, WATER PUMP AND BALANCE SHAFT CHAIN, REPLACED THE CONDENSER, EVAC ON THE AIR CONDITIONER ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE OTHER 2010 GMC TERRAIN WE OWN. WE DO NOT FEEL LIKE WE SHOULD HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR THE AC CONDENSER SINCE IT HAPPENED ON BOTH VEHICLES WE OWN WITHIN MONTHS OF EACH OTHER BUT WE DID. THE OTHER 2010 TERRAIN WE OWN WAS IN THE SHOP IN JANUARY 2014 BECAUSE IT STALLED AND IT WAS CAM SHAFT AND THE THROTTLE BODY ABOUT 2 WEEKS LATER WE HAD TO TAKE THIS ONE IN FOR THE CAM. THE OTHER TERRAIN HAS WE OWN HAS ALSO HAD THE CAM WORKED ON SEVERAL TIMES. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALSO HAD SEVERAL RECALLS FOR OTHER ISSUES. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE VEHICLES BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THESE SAME PROBLEMS. LOOK ON EDMONDS ONLINE FORUM AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 2010 TERRAINS AND THE 2010 EQUINOX. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE SO THE OWNERS CAN GET RID OF THESE VEHICLES BEFORE THEY STALL AGAIN AND SOMEBODY HITS THEM AND KILLS THEM LIKE THE SIX PEOPLE WHO DIED BECAUSE THE 2007 GM COBALT STALLED ON THEM WHILE DRIVING. WE NEED THE NHTSA TO HELP US. THEY WERE ALSO GOING TO CHARGE US ON THE OTHER VEHICLE ALMOST $900.00 TO FIX THE CAM SHAFT AND THROTTLE BODY, WHEN THE PROBLEM HAD OBVIOUSLY NOT BEEN FIXED ONE OF THE OTHER TIMES THAT GMC DEALERSHIPS WORKED ON IT UNTIL I COMPLAINED TO GMC. THEN THE DEALERSHIP SAID WE HAD TO PAY ABOUT $250.00 BECAUSE THE OWNER HAS TO PAY SOMETHING WHEN ITS OUT OF WARRANTY. THAT VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 43,000 MILES. I DON'T FEEL LIKE THE OWNERS SHOULD HAVE TO PAY ONE PENNY WHEN THERE IS A REPEAT PROBLEM ON A VEHICLE AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO KEEP IT FIXED. *TR

DEALER WAS ROTATING TIRES AND FOUND THE SWAY BAR LINK ON THE DRIVER FRONT SIDE WAS BROKEN IN TWO. THIS IS A ALL WHEEL DRIVE MODEL. I HAVE TO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THIS TO BREAK. *TR

CPSC:I1440011A. 2010 GMC TERRAIN. CONSUMER STATED THE CAR IGNITION CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. *LN

I PURCHASED MY 2010 GMC TERRAIN IN MAY 2013. AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF HAVING THE TRUCK. I HEARD A RATTLING NOISE. I TOOK IT BACK TO WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY SAID I WAS OUT OF OIL. FROM MAY - OCT. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE 4 OIL CHANGES WHICH MY MILEAGE WAS NOW 52,000. THE SERVICE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON BUT COULD HEAR A RATTLING SOUND. THEY RECENTLY DID A CONSUMPTION TEST ON THE TRUCK AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING LOOKS FINE. NOW WHEN I STOP AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, MY TRUCK SHAKES AS THOUGH IT IS GOING TO TURN OFF. IT DOES THIS RANDOMLY. OF COURSE THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT WHEN THEY TEST DROVE IT. MY LIGHT DOES NOT ALWAYS ILLUMINATE AND MY SPEAKER ON THE DRIVER SIDE WILL BE STATIC WHEN I START UP THE TRUCK. NEEDLESS TO SAY , HAVING THE TRUCK FOR ONLY A FEW MONTHS AND SEEING THIS MANY ISSUES IS A HUGE CONCERN, AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS I AM TRULY CONCERNED THIS IS NOT THE TRUCK THAT IS GOING TO LAST VERY LONG, EVEN THOUGH I PAID GOOD MONEY FOR IT. VERY DISAPPOINTING. I HAVE TALKED TO MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED. INSTEAD OF GOING THROUGH ALL THE REPAIRS THAT SEEMS LIKE THE IDEAL SOLUTION. ITS ODD WHEN YOU READ THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, IT SEEMS EVEN GMC DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THEIR OWN ISSUES OR DON'T KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THESE PROBLEMS. I READ THAT GMC TERRAINS HAVE HAD 131 BULLETINS WOW. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 GMC TERRAIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RADIO DISPLAY LIGHTING FLICKERED AND WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V489000 (VISIBILITY) THAT COULD HAVE BEEN RELATED THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000. *TT

A (SERVICE AIR BAG) LIGHT CAME ON IN MY TERRAIN.I FEEL THIS A GMC DEFECT AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY THEM. I HAVE ONLY 44,000 MILES. THEY SAID IT WILL COST ME $250. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2010 GMC TERRAIN IN AUGUST OF 2012. THE VEHICLE HAD MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR TIRES SIZE 235-55/R18. ON SATURDAY, APRIL 13TH WHILE GETTING AN OIL CHANGE, THE TECHNICIAN POINTED OUT TO US THAT ALL FOUR TIRES WERE SPLITTING ON THE SIDES AND THAT IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. WE DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR THE REST OF THAT DAY AND THE NEXT DAY. ON MONDAY WE TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY CONFIRMED THAT INDEED THE TIRES WERE SPLITTING ON THE SIDES. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 55K MILES ON IT AND ACCORDING TO MICHELIN, THE TIRES ARE WARRANTED AS A 65K MILE TIRE. WE PURCHASED NEW TIRES AT THE DEALERSHIP BUT FEEL STRONGLY THAT THESE TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE REPORTED BEFORE SOMEONE HAS AN AWFUL ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THEM. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS BUT DID NOT FIND ANY. I CALLED MICHELIN WHO IN TURN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THE MAINTENANCE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD THE MICHELIN REPRESENTATIVE ABOUT THE TIRES AND THE MICHELIN REPRESENTATIVE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I WAS IN THE MANAGER'S OFFICE DURING THAT PHONE CONVERSATION. I BELIEVE IT IS EXTREMELY URGENT TO TAKE A LOOK INTO THIS. I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE TIRES AND I'M KEEPING THE TIRES SO THAT THEY CAN NOT BE SOLD TO ANYONE ELSE. THE TREAD ON THE TIRES IS VERY GOOD SO IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS DEFECT IS NOT RELATED TO NORMAL WEAR. PLEASE CONTACT ME SO THAT I CAN SEND THE PICTURES OR WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THOSE THAT MAY HAVE THESE TIRES ON THEIR VEHICLE. THESE TIRES MAY BEGIN TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AFTER 50K MILES AND THEY MAY NOT BE AS FORTUNATE AS WE WERE. THANKS SO MUCH, *TR

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

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 MY VEHICLE THEY CLAIM. AND TO MAKE THINGS WORSE THE SEATBELT SENSOR CAME ON AND STAYS ON A FEW HOURS AFTER I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE FROM THE LAST VISIT TO GET IT CHECKED FOR THIS CRANKING PROBLEM. THIS IS THE WORSE VEHICLE I EVER OWNED. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THE TERRAIN TO ANYONE. OH YEAH, I ALSO BROUGHT IT TOO 2 DIFFERENT GMC/CHEVY DEALERS WITH NO HELP FROM THEM AT ALL. THIS IS THE LAST TIME I'LL BUY A GMC/CHEVY VEHICLE - BUILT VERY POORLY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN HOUSTON AN ENGINE POWER REDUCED LIGHT CAME ON AND MY VEHICLE LURCHED AND REDUCED IN SPEED FROM APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH TO 10MPH CAUSING CARS BEHIND ME TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION AND ALMOST CAUSING A MULTIPLE CAR MAJOR ACCIDENT. I FRANTICALLY KEPT TRYING TO START THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO GET OVER TO THE FEEDER ROAD. SINCE THIS INCIDENT I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ISSUE AND AM SURPRISED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS ISSUE AND I AM SURPRISED THAT MORE HASN'T BEEN DONE. *TR
