Syntax error Grub

I have a problem with my grub
usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig:4:/etc/default/grub: syntax : unterminated quoted string
How can I correct from the terminal?
As always, I appreciate the help

Re: Syntax error Grub

Single or double quotes need to occur by pairs (opening / closing). Probably one element of a pair is missing (or duplicated).
Check for this in the file /etc/default/grub
For safety, before modifying a line, duplicate it, comment out the original with a # (as a backup) and modify the other line.
Save and run sudo update-grub
