Have an intermittent issue with my front right wheel heating up significantly. One trip it will seem normal and the next I notice what seems like the brake dragging and the wheel getting hot. I have fairly new pads on, had serviced the caliper by replacing the piston and pins, lubing, etc., but the problem persisted. I was still not confident that the caliper was the issue, but put on a new one. Same problem and still intermittent. When I bled the line, I had a steady stream of fluid, so not thinking it is the lines. Have had no damage of any kid to the wheel. Kind of baffled at where to go next.....suggestions?

Is the parking brake dragging too much maybe?

Better than good chance that you need to replace the brake line. They corrode and don't let the fluid back out of the caliper when you take your foot off the brake. Common issue with the theta bodies. It's a chronic problem with theta body Vues and they share the same setup.

I was wondering about the line, so might start with that. Is it generally the main line or the hose closest to the wheel? Might do both as they are not that costly.

It's the rubber brake hoses that collapse internally and do not let the pressure release from the caliper causing pad drag. The hard lines do not do that. Hard lines only rust through and leak.

Thank you. I'll try the line to see if that is the issue.

I changed the brake hose closest to the wheel and that seems to have resolved the issue. Made several trips now and all is good. I'll likely change the other as well for a bit of prevention on that one. Thanks for the suggestions......

Hello First Time Post! I love my terrain just hate all the issues.

Ok I'll get straight to the point 2010 GMC Terrain SLE AWD 3.0 V6 146K

Parts changed:
Passenger Front (Wheel bearing, rotor, brake caliber, brakes and ABS Wheel sensor)
Driver Front (Rotor, brakes and ABS wheel sensor)

Lights on: ABS and the stability control. Service All Wheel Drive DIC has always been on, and no one knows how to fix it. Service Stability light came on as well.

ABS Code: Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit low voltage/ open. LF Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit Not Plausible

Left front wheel isn't free rotating and is locking up. It overheats the brakes destroying them rapidly. In the morning the brakes do a click click click noise when braking out the driveway. The light will go off then come back on. It drives but you can feel it hold up and resist when in motion.

Please any help is appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read. In desperate help to get this truck operational again for work.

That's great info. Thanks for sharing.
That should be a sticky.
We need a sticky section.
Mods are you listening?
With all the issues with these vehicles it would be nice to
have a quick reference section.

Thank you so much! I apologize I didn't read the post but again I wasn't sure if it applied to my problem. I appricate this and will be getting it today and working on it Saturday. On the phone now. I thank God I found this forum because I love my terrain it just sucks when one thing goes domino effect. To many great memories in it with family. I will replace that and respond back with an update for the forum.

Just called my uncle and he said he read the same thing last night on his phone about the rubber brake hose.

I'll be replacing the Blower control module / resistor soI can finally have A/C today as well.

Thank you everyone. Changed the rubber brake line had to lube the caliber bolts and all is good wheel is free rolling. Only now have to wait till the abs and stability track lights go back off. AC was fixed needed a new resistor and blower and a recharge. Love being a DYIer. Now I can help others. still got other issues but we'll get there when we get there. Take care!
