MY GMC CANYON HAS ONLY 35,000 MILES. IT STARTED SHAKING, SHUDDERING FREQUENTLY, AND HAVING HARD SHIFT WHEN CHANGING GEARS, SPECIALLY WHEN SPEEDING DOWN. IT FEELS SIMILAR TO DRIVE OVER THE STREET LINES WITH A SIMILAR SOUND. THERE IS A STRONG SOUND COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHEN FAST SHIFTING HAPPENED FROM HIGH TO LOW OR WHEN STOP AT THE STOP LIGHT. IT IS LIKE THE ENGINE WANTS TO LEAVE FROM THE BODY OF THE TRUCK. THIS VIBRATION IS ALSO FELT WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEED OR LOW GEAR AND THE TRUCK IS DEMANDING MORE POWER, BUT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT CONTROL THAT DEMAND. IT IS LIKE NOT COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ENGINE.

MY 2018 GMC CANYON SLT SHUDDERS ALOT. IT IS NOT CONSTANT BUT IT IS OFTEN. IT SORT OF FEELS LIKE YOU'RE DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS. I DO NOT FEEL IT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, JUST DRIVING AROUND TOWN. IT'S ESPECIALLY PREVALENT WHEN GOING UP HILLS. TO ME, IT FEELS LIKE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. WHEN I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH, I FOUND OUT IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM. I CONTACTED MY DEALER AND THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH IT ASKING IF I HAD A TRANSMISSION FLUID CHANGE YET. I TOLD THEM I HAD NOT AND THEY SCHEDULING ME FOR THAT SERVICE IN A COUPLE WEEKS. I AM NOT HAPPY THAT MY 2 YEAR OLD $40K PLUS TRUCK HAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AT 25K MILES.

WHEN MOVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLES' TRANSMISSION STARTS TO SHUDDER. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM GOING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE AND MY ENGINE IS AROUND 1400 RPMS. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THIS ISSUE. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TWICE AND THE NEXT APPOINTMENT IS NEXT WEEK ON OCTOBER 31ST. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT MORE THAN LIKELY THEY WILL HAVE TO FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AGAIN BECAUSE GM IS NOT LETTING THEM DO MUCH MORE WITH THIS ISSUE. THE TRUCK ALSO HAS A HARD TIME SHIFTING WHEN IT IS FIRST STARTED UNTIL IT GETS WARMED UP. ALSO THERE ARE TIMES I FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED WHEN I AM SLOWING DOWN AND IT IS DOWN SHIFTING. I HAVE NOTICED THAT IF I KEEP THE TRUCK AT A FAIRLY HIGHER RPM THAT IT DOES NOT SHUDDER AS BAD AND DOESN'T FEEL AS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. MY VEHICLE HAS 27,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP COUNTLESS TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 2018. I DON'T EVEN LIKE DRIVING IT BECAUSE I FEEL THAT IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND IS ENDANGERING MYSELF AND OTHERS.

STEERING
IT STARTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WILL INTERMITTENTLY FAIL IF THE TRUCK IDLES FOR A 10-20 MINUTE PERIOD OF TIME. AND WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THAN START WORKING AGAIN. DURING ANY PROLONGED HIGHWAY TRIP THE TRACTION CONTROL, ABS, AND BRAKE LIGHTS WILL ILLLUMINATE. IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD NOW THAT I CAN COUNT ON IT BEING A DAILY OCCURRENCE. SOMETIMES THE LIGHT WILL COME ON BUT THE STEERING DOESN'T ACTUALLY FAIL. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR I WROTE A BAD REVIEW ABOUT THE SERVICE I RECEIVED ON MY FACEBOOK. I GOT A CALL FROM THE SALESMAN NAMED NICK FEOLA SAYING THAT HE SAW THE POST AND DISCUSSED IT WITH HIS MANAGER AND TOLD ME THAT I WAS NO LONGER WELCOME AT THE DEALERSHIP. SO WHEN I CALLED TO HAVE THE ISSUES I DESCRIBED RESOLVED. I WAS HUNG UP ON WHEN MY NAME WAS GIVEN.(DAVID DUKES AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. I HAVE SINCE CHANGE DAY MY NAME TO SINGER) I DIDN'T KNOW WHO TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO UNTIL I READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND SAW A LINK TO YOUR WEBSITE.
