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 AUTOMATIC BRAKE ASSIST LOCKS UP THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL. THE WHEEL STILL TURNS BUT THE BRAKE OVERHEATS AND STARTS SMOKING AFTER JUST A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING. IT WAS BEING DRIVEN ON A CITY STREET AT ABOUT 30 TO 40 MPH. NORMAL BRAKING AT STOPLIGHTS AND SUDDENLY FELT LIKE A TIRE HAD GONE FLAT. WHEN I CHECKED, THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WAS SMOKING. WE HAD THE CALIPERS AND PADS REPLACED, BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM

THE VEHICLE WILL SHUTTER VERY HARD WHEN ACCELERATING OUT OF EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT TURNS OR WHEN YOU HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL IN A COMPLETE U-TURN TYPE ACTION. THE SHUDDER IS FELT THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE AND CAN BE VERY ALARMING. IT FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKES ARE LOCKED UP. IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH SOME NOTICE TO ALL TERRAIN OWNERS. I HAVE NOW SPENT SERIOUS TIME AND $1K ATTEMPTING TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM.

I ONLY HAD MY CAR FOR JUST ABOUT ONE YEAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ENDED UP COMING ON AND I FOUND THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS THE CULPRIT. NO MATTER WHAT I DO THIS SENSOR COMES ON. NOW HERE RECENTLY, THE LIGHT TO CHECK THE AIRBAG SYSTEM HAS COME ON. I HAVE ONCE BEFORE CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE, BUT THERE SUPPOSEDLY WERE NONE, YET I SEE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUES THAT I AM HAVING ON TOP OF THE DEFROST SYSTEM BEING NO GOOD. THIS CAR HAS COST ME MORE THAN IT IS WORTH AND SELLING IT WOULD JUST LEAVE ME WITH NOTHING BECAUSE I STILL OWE ON IT. I NEED FIXES AND ANSWERS BEFORE THIS THING ENDS UP IN FLAMES WHICH IS WHAT I FEAR EACH DAY I DRIVE IT. THIS BEGAN IN AUGUST OF LAST YEAR AND NOW I AM GETTING SCARED FOR MY LIFE.

I am reporting an auto dealership and its finance company for contract fraud, electronic profile manipulation, and using illegal repossession threats to cover it up. During my vehicle purchase, the dealership used deceptive bait-and-switch tactics. They altered my final contract numbers without my consent, hid account ledgers, and changed how my down payment was applied. Crucially, they entered falsified financial metrics and manipulated personal tracking data within the electronic underwriting systems and lending networks to force a loan approval that never should have happened. The business records prove the companies have known about this active fraud dispute since March 31st, when I placed a formal cease-and-desist call to management. Instead of stopping collection activities to investigate the fraud, they ignored my notices, hid my payment histories, and completely refused to cooperate. Now, even though these companies are actively being sued in state court for these exact consumer protection violations, they are weaponizing aggressive repossession threats to try and bypass judicial oversight. The dealership sent a physical letter threatening immediate repossession while openly admitting my dispute flags had been active since March 31st. Shortly after, on the exact same day their legal counsel received the court lawsuit papers, the finance company mailed an aggressive notice threatening a live repossession of my vehicle by a strict deadline of July 2nd. They are deliberately using extrajudicial intimidation to seize the physical vehicle and cover their tracks before a state court judge can audit their electronic fraud. I request that NHTSA investigate this dealership and finance company for predatory marketplace practices and falsifying transaction information in electronic auto systems.
