To whom it may concern: Please note that I have observed my vehicle a profound amount of water entering the vehicle somewhere within, at, or in vicinity of the front passenger side of the vehicle and driver's side (front). This occurs during rain-fall. My vehicle began displaying an odor and showing white-yellowish colored matter in the carpet area. The water is now developed into a puddle on the passenger - side and carpet soaked on the driver's side (the lost of footing on the driver's side, makes it sometimes difficult when driving, and shifting my foot from the accelerator to (and) braking (to steer, and performing turning maneuvers). I have researched and noted several consumer chat pages, in which consumers have discussions experiencing the problem of water leaking into their GMC Terrain, and other GMC vehicles.

My granddaughter and I were parked outside a grocery store. We came out with several bags and my granddaughter opened the back lift gate. It went up and then came back down again. It didn't stay up. I tried to open it again with my key and it did the same thing. Went up, hesitated and came back down again. I stopped opening the gate and put bags inside. I took her home then drove home myself. I showed my husband what the back gate was doing. I called the Ford dealer I bought my Terrain from last year (February 2017) and got appointment for service today. The Ford service called the Chevrolet service and referred me to them for service. I took the car to the Chevrolet dealer who checked if my car was on any recall, she said the VIN was not included in any recalls, but we bought an extended warranty which may cover the costs. However, I have to pay the first $200 of any service repairs. I don't believe the back gate should stop working when the rest of my car works fine. Is there anything I can do to get help to repair my car's back gate?

When trying to open the rear liftgate the door will open completely then quickly close halfway, open completely again, then quickly close shut making it impossible to safely put anything into or remove from the trunk of the car. There is a recall for this issue on the acadia's already.

We had begun to cross an intersection and, while our speed was from a dead stop, the other driver blew through a red light and hit us at what was probably the speed limit of 40mph. Her car struck us in the right front passenger side and again on the rear passenger side. We, myself who was driving, and my wife, who was the passenger on the side hit, were both thrown hard to the right at impact, causing injuries to us both, most notably, my wife. She hit her head very hard on either the passenger door frame or the passenger window. No airbags deployed. No side airbags, no front airbags. No air bags deployed!
