2020 GMC TERRAIN — Complaint #2128866
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP filed September 10, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2128866 (ODI reference 11686270) concerns a 2020 GMC TERRAIN and was filed on September 10, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 8, 2025. The vehicle had 58,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Wisconsin based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as fuel system, gasoline:delivery:fuel pump, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same GMC TERRAIN cohort independently describe similar fuel system, gasoline:delivery:fuel pump failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2020 GMC TERRAIN shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
