What owners wrote

Ignition shutoff' while driving; this occurred at least 8 times; took the vehicle to the dealer who couldn't reproduce the issue, but they did suggest having my fuel lines replaced at a cost of $400.

Reported at 20,000 miles, March 2014

My car is idling when it suddenly begins to idle roughly then stalls. There is a "reduced engine power" warning that appears with the check engine light, and "service stabilitrak" with the stabilitrak light. This has happened 3 times, twice when the vehicle was stationary, another time in motion, driving on a city street, and I was able to pull over before it died. In reading other complaints, this seems to be a known safety issue for 2010 GMC terrains and should be investigated as a recall issue.
