#243 of 297 Stability Track Service Light staying on by tenndriver

Aug 14, 2012 (3:03 pm)

We bought a 2012 GMC Terrain on August 1, 2012. We love it but the Stabilty Track Service light comes on and stays on after about 10 minutes of driving. We have tried clearing it but it just keeps coming back on. My husband is taking it in to the dealership tomorrow morning. The manual says it is safe to drive but I find this annoying. I hope we can fix this.

Congratulations on your new Terrain! That's so exciting! However, we're sorry that you already are having to make a trip in to get a warning light checked out. Please keep us posted on how everything goes in the morning!

#245 of 297 gas caps by jrlkindt

Aug 21, 2012 (4:52 pm)

I love the 2012 Terrain I've been driving since February. However we've had a teenager problem where I work and I have need of a locking gas cap or locking door to the cap. There is not one made for any year of the Terrain models according to my local service department and we're told there is no after market one that will fit them either, by our local parts dealers. This is a Huge problem for me. As expensive as this vehicle was, a simple lock shouldn't be an obstacle for GMC. When will this problem be addressed?

Stant has not yet updated their web site to include 2012 model but they list two locking gas caps for 2010 and 2011 Terrain (reg and E85, most likely just color of cap differance). You might get your local parts place do do a try before you buy on one of these if they stock them.

Does anyone know the ratio of Equinox sales to Terrains. Relative to the Equinox forums,
there seem to be a lot less postings in the Terrain forums. Is it a volume thing or are there
just a lot more happy Terrain owners?

#249 of 297 Stablitrak Error Message/Check Engine Light by kristindenim79

Dec 27, 2012 (9:19 pm)

I have a 2012 GMC Terrain 4wd with approximately 12,000 miles. Starting in November when ever I drive on the express way 55-65 mph, The Service Stabilitrak light will come on then the check engine light will blink on and off. Once I get to my destination once I restart the vehicle all the lights will be off. I have been the dealership on four different occasions 11/15, 11/17, 12/7 and 12/26.
The first time the vehicle misfire on cylinders 2,4,6. The codes were cleared and the light came back on 11/17. That visit the same misfire, The dealership found loose front breather duct. Secured the duct and clear the codes. Third visit Code P0300 Misfires again cylinder 2 and 4. Use a borascope to inspect both cylinders for collant/dye. Pressure test and replaced the intermittent ignition coil, spark plug. Last visit Code P0300. Carbon deposits on valves. Misfire again. Clean and Decarbonize and clean fuel system. I am beyond frustrated with the issue that I am having.. I feel that that is a bigger issue with the engine..Thoughts/Advise Please
Thank You

Hi I was wondering if this problem was ever solved?? I just purchased a 2013 have had it for 6 days and am now driving a loaner car because my car was stalling out. The dealership has been helpful and kept my car for a couple of days because they were not experiencing the problem. today i got a voicemail that it stalled on them and they are going to run some test to see what could be wrong. I am just nervous I bought a car that is going to constantly be in the shop.

The vehicle is still at the shop since Friday. I am currently in a loaner. I was told that GM authorized them to open the engine and look further into why this issue keeps happening. I was told I would be without my car for awhile, since they may have to put a new engine in it.
