I PURCHASED THIS TERRAIN AS THE 99 GMC PICKUP THAT I PURCHASED FROM SHEEHAN HAD 3 TOTAL BRAKE FAILURES AND A POWER STEERING COOLER FAIL ALL DUE TO CORROSION. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE 99 AFTER THE 3RD TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. THIS IS WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2011. SINCE THEN DUE TO CORROSION THEY REPLACED ALL THE WHEELS ON THE VEHICLE AND THE OTHER DAY I STARTED SMELLING GASOLINE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SHEEHAN. THEY FOUND A FUEL LINE UNDER THE VEHICLE LEAKING AS IT HAD RUSTED THROUGH. I ASKED THE SERVICE PERSON WHAT THEY DID TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THEY REPLACE THE FUEL LINE WITH THE SAME TYPE THAT HAD JUST RUSTED THROUGH. I ASKED THEM WHY THEY DID NOT USE STAINLESS STEEL. I WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT DO THAT. I NOW DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT EVEN BEEN PAID OFF YET AND ONLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 7000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE BEGUN SHOPPING FOR A NON-GENERAL MOTORS VEHICLE AS I DO NOT FEEL SAVE DRIVING THIS ONE. *TR

TIRES
A SECOND MICHELIN LATITUDE TOUR TIRE ON 2013 GMC TERRAIN (PURCHASED NEW IN MAY 2013) HAD REPETITIVE LOW TIRE PRESSURE SHOWING ON THE TPMS. AFTER 1 WEEK OF INFLATING TO SPEC PRESSURE AND ONLY HAVE IT HAPPEN AGAIN, REMOVED THE WHEEL AND TIRE TO INSPECT FOR AN EMBEDDED OBJECT (E.G. NAIL) IN THE ENTIRE TREAD AREA AND SIDEWALL. NOTHING VISIBLE. REPLACED AND INFLATED TO SPEC AGAIN. 2 DAYS LATER LOW PRESSURE AGAIN. REMOVED THE WHEEL/TIRE FROM THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND MIXED A SOAP SOLUTION TO INSPECT THE TREAD AREA FOR A LEAK. AFTER THOROUGHLY INSPECTING THE ENTIRE TREAD AREA TWICE, NOTICED A SLOW LEAK BUBBLING ON THE SIDEWALL AT THE TREAD-SIDEWALL INTERFACE (TIRE MOLD SEAM?). PROBED THE LEAK SITE FOR EMBEDDED GLASS OR OBJECT AND FOUND NOTHING REPRESENTATIVE OF A ROAD HAZARD EVENT EXCEPT THE AIR LEAK IN THE SIDEWALL. PLUGGED THE LEAK WITH A TIRE PLUG TO SHOW LOCATION AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. A TIRE WITH LEAK IN THE SIDEWALL EVEN PLUGGED IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON. I AM WAITING FOR A NEW TIRE. *TR
