2010 GMC Terrain Electrical System Problems

The contact owns a 2010 GMC Terrain. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the center console display intermittently malfunctioned and became inoperable. During the failure, the HVAC system was no longer blowing hot air, and the front windshield could not be defrosted, creating a visibility hazard for the driver. Additionally, the radio had become inoperable, and the audible clicking from the turn signal was muted. The cause of the failures was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 09V489000 (VISIBILITY). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 114,000.

The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown electronics and instrument panel gauges failed to work properly. No warning lights were illuminated.

Twice had to have wiring repaired because animals ate the wiring. Both were caused by GM using soy based insulation on wiring that made it a delicacy to the animals and caused them to eat through two wiring harnesses, one of which GM no longer makes. The other complaint is the timing belt has stretched and is now in need of replacement at a cost of $4500 to $5000.

The defroster/ radio control/ heating area stopped working. Upon visiting a mechanic was told they never seen this or heard of this happening before and quoted me over $1,000.00 dollars to fix stating that due to Federal Law they have to give an estimate but this problem not being in their system they came up with an estimate based on parts and labor. Upon searching online I found a recall for this issue dating back to 2009 recall number was 09V489000 but was never informed about this and while looking up my car it’s not listed but being a safety issue should still be current which it is not.

My defrost system doesn't work. As I drive down the road my windshield fogs up andni can't get it to un fog at all or fast enough. Almost caused me to have an accident before Christmas

My information screen which shows valuable information to driver as well as speedometer is blank and the radio and temps , ac/ setting etc a are all unable to be read . There is a recall listed for the computer modules yet they exclude my vin number in that recall how can Chevrolet do that when it’s the same issues 2010 terrains with a different number than mine are being fixed

CAUSES PROBLEMS ON HIGHWAY AND IS DANGEROUS. 3 MECHANICS SAID BAD ECM, BUT CHEVY DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE OR REFLASH ECM.

ENGINE - SLOWS DOWN AND SPEED UP AND JOLT AS IT ACCELERATE IN SPEED. HEATED SEATS - A MONTH AFTER PURCHASE THEY STOPPED WORKED OIL PUMP - THE FILTER GETS CLOGGED WITH METAL SHAVING AND WOULD NOT ALLOW THE OIL TO GET TO THE ENGINE. AS A RESULT, I HAD TO GET OIL CHANGES 3 TIMES IN A MONTH. DASH BOARD AND STEREO LIGHT WOULD FLICKER AND DIM. STEREO WOULD REPEAT WORDS AND GET STUCK IN ONE PLACE. THE WIND SHIELD WIPERS STOPPED WORKING DURING A RAIN STORM AND WERE WIPING IN TWO SEPARATE DIRECTIONS AT THE SAME TIME.

TAKATA RECALL- THE RADIO SCREEN GOES COMPLETELY BLACK WHEN IT COMES BACK ON ITS UN- READABLE. ALSO WHENEVER YOU TURN THE AC ON IT MAKES A CLICKING SOUND. BOTH HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING( IN MOTION, STATIONARY, CITY STREETS AS WELL AS HIGHWAY... ALSO, THE BACK WINDOWS CLICK WHEN ROLLING THEM UP OR DOWN.

MY HUSBAND CHANGE THE OIL 2 DAYS AGO AND SAID THAT THERE WAS A LEAK OF OIL.. I HAD CHANGED MY OIL BACK ON 2-28-2017. MY HUSBAND SAID THERE WAS OIL ON THE STICK. SO I WANT TO SAY THAT IT WAS SHORT 2 OR 3 QUARTS OF OIL. ME NOT KNOWING THAT IT HAD BEEN LEAKING. ITS MAKING A SOUND LIKE ITS KNOTTING, LIKE IF THE BELT WAS LOOSE, A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER HAVING THE OIL CHANGED.. WE HAVE ALREADY CHANGED SPARKNPLUGS AND TYHEY WERE BAD.

NOW I'M STUCK WITH THE COST OF REPAIRS FOR INSTALLING A NEW ENGINE AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND GM MOTORS REFUSED TO HELP ME WITH REPAIRS. I HAVE SIX CHILDREN AT HOME I PROVIDE FOR AND NOW WILL BE EATING A NEW ENGINE AT THE DINNER TABLE FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS! THANKS A LOT GM FOR NOT LIVING UP TO YOUR NAME IM GOING TO TOYOTA NEXT VEHICLE. THE GOOD THING I WAS PARKED AT A STORE WHEN THE VEHICLE GAVE OUT WITH NO WARNING!!!!!!!
