Description of the problem | Actually, this is my second terrain, because they bought the 1st one back from me and gave me a brand new for the same reasons that i'm having with this one. On start up, the car makes an unusual grrrrrrrrr noise for about 3 seconds. It doesn't make this noise all the time, but the majority of the time it does. I have heard several excuses from the dealer. "we can't duplicate what you are hearing, that's normal, it suppose to make that noise". It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that noise is not normal. And even if it was normal, it would happen every single time i started the car, but it doesn't. It's embarrassing to start my car up around people, cause i don't want them to see me driving this beautiful brand new car with a dumb noise when i start it up. I can't believe gmc would approve to even sell a car that makes that type of noise. Is there something we can do about this? Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
