ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THE TRUCK CHUGS AND HESITATES RANDOMLY WHEN A DOWN SHIFT IS REQUIRED. GENERALLY THIS RANDOM HESITATION IS JUST ANNOYING. AT TIMES THE VEHICLE WILL NOT DOWNSHIFT FOR A CONSIDERABLE TIME. WHEN MAKING MANEUVERS IN AND AROUND TRAFFIC THE TRUCKS POOR SHIFTING CAUSES THE TRUCK TO JERK AND NOT ACCELERATE. WHEN THE TRUCK WILL EVENTUALLY DOES DOWN SHIFT THE GAS PEDAL MUST BE ALL THE WAY AT THE FLOOR AND ACCELERATES AT FULL SPEED. BULLETIN PIP5342A SUPPOSEDLY ADDRESSES THE CONCERN BUT SAYS IT IS NORMAL. GM TELLS THE DEALER NOT TO ATTEMPT TO FIX. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE THIS PROBLEM HAS PUT ME AT RISK FOR AN ACCIDENT.

AIR BAGS
AT ABOUT 20,000 MILES THE AIR BAG LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY STARTED COMING ON WHILE DRIVING BUT WOULD BE RESET WHEN THE TRUCK WAS RESTARTED. AT ABOUT 26,000 THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON THIS TIME PERMANENTLY. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACE. THE PART WAS ORDERED AND NOW IT HAS BEEN A WEEK LATER AND THE PART STILL HAS NOT HAS BEEN RECEIVED.

POWER TRAIN
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO ADD MY TRUCK TO THE COMPLAINTS. I AM AT 24000KM ON MY CANYON AND THE TRANSMISSION STILL HASN'T LEARNED ANYTHING. THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ARE THE EXACT SAME AS THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON HERE. ITS HORRIBLE AND UNSAFE DRIVING THIS TRUCK EVERYDAY IN THE CITY. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE AN ACCIDENT DOES HAPPEN. ISSUE: TRANSMISSION PROGRAMING

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE UPSHIFTS TOO EARLY AT LOW SPEEDS REQUIRING ADDITIONAL ACCELERATOR INPUT THEN DOWNSHIFTS 2 GEARS TO COMPENSATE. THIS HAPPENS REGULARLY WHEN GOING AROUND 15-20 MILES AN HOUR UPHILL OR WHILE MAKING RIGHT TURNS WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SEARCHING FOR THE CORRECT GEAR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS NUMB FOR AT LEAST 2 SECONDS REQUIRING AT LEAST 90 PERCENT THROTTLE THEN IT FINALLY PICKS A LOW GEAR AND VIOLENTLY THROWS THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS BACK AND ROARS TO LIFE. THE 2 OR MORE SECONDS OF HESITATION COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHEN QUICK ACCELERATION IS NEEDED. MY CONCERNS WERE VOICED TO BOWSER BUICK GMC ON 02/02/2015 DURING MY FIRST OIL CHANGE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT GMC IS WORKING ON PROGRAMMING FOR THE SIERRA RIGHT NOW AND WHEN IT'S SATISFACTORY, THEY WILL IMPLEMENT IT ON THE CANYONS. NO REPAIR ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO ADDRESS THIS CONCERN. THEY REFUSED TO MAKE ANY REPAIRS AND SAID THAT I WAS ADDED TO A LIST OF OTHERS WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS.

MY CONCERNS WERE VOICED TO BOWSER BUICK GMC ON 11/20/2015 DURING MY FIRST OIL CHANGE AND THEY PROVIDED ME WITH SERVICE BULLETIN #PIP5342 WHICH STATES "SHUDDER OR CHUGGLE WHEN ACCELERATING AT LOW SPEEDS OF 12-15 MPH IN SECOND GEAR IS NORMAL OPERATION OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH. NO REPAIR ATTEMPTS SHOULD BE ATTEMPTED TO ADDRESS THIS CONCERN" THEY REFUSED TO MAKE ANY REPAIRS AND SAID THAT I WAS ADDED TO A LIST OF OTHERS WITH SIMILAR COMPLAINTS.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE SHIFTING LAGS AND HESITATES THEN ENGAGES ABRUPTLY CAUSING UNSAFE ACCELERATION. SPECIFICALLY ENTERING AN ON-RAMP. WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC FROM A SLOWER RAMP SPEED TO JOIN HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE STRUGGLES TO FIND THE PROPER GEAR. IN ORDER TO OFFSET THIS PROBLEM THE DRIVER NEEDS TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR FURTHER TO HELP THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFT TO A LOWER GEAR. HOWEVER, DOING SO WHILE THE TRANSMISSION IS SEARCHING FOR THE PROPER GEAR CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY LURCH FORWARD WITH MORE FORCE AND ACCELERATION THEN IS REQUIRED OR SAFE. I HAVE BROUGHT MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THIS ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT GM STATES THAT THIS IS THE NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS OF THE TRUCK. I FEEL THIS IS NOT AN ADEQUATE RESPONSE AND CERTAINLY DOES NOTHING TO ADDRESS THE SAFETY ISSUE OF A TRANSMISSION THAT DISENGAGES TO SEARCH FOR A PROPER GEAR AND THEN REENGAGES ABRUPTLY CAUSING THE DRIVER TO MAKE UNNECESSARY AND UNSAFE ADJUSTMENTS TO KEEP THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED, THE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED, AND A "VEHICLE SERVICING AND DRIVE CAREFULLY" CHIME WAS HEARD.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000. ...UPDATED 02/08/16 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE POWER STEERING ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED AND THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED.*JS

(3RD) - OCCURRENCE OF THE FOLLOWING SAME PROBLEM....THE HEATER AND DEFROSTER SYSTEMS IN MY NEW 2015 GMC CANYON PRODUCE ONLY COLD AIR, REGARDLESS OF THE SETTINGS. THIS CREATES A FOG FILM ON THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD MAKING THE CANYON INOPERABLE DUE TO LACK OF VISIBILITY. THE GMC DEALER HAS ALREADY REPLACED SEVERAL "HEATER/DEFROSTER", BUT THE NEW SYSTEM CONTINUES TO FAIL. THE LACK OF HEAT PROBLEM OCCURS AT ALL TIMES (I.E. MANUAL KEY START, REMOTE START, COLD ENGINE START, WARM ENGINE START, ETC.)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY 2015 GMC CANYON SLE PICKUP HAS A BACKUP CAMERA DIMMING PROBLEM. WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE ON A SUNNY DAY, THE LARGE DISPLAY OF WHAT THE CAMERA SEES BEHIND THE VEHICLE IS BRIGHT AND IT IS EASY TO SEE ANY OBJECTS LOCATED IN THE BACKUP PATH UNTIL THE VEHICLE REACHES THE LOCATION WHERE THE SUN LIGHT FALLS ON THE DASH. AT THAT POINT THE DISPLAY DIMS TO THE EXTENT WHERE IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE ANY OBJECTS IN THE DISPLAY. THE DIM DISPLAY LASTS FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS WHEN IT INSTANTLY RETURNS TO FULL BRIGHTNESS AS WAS VISIBLE IN THE GARAGE. IF ONE PUTS ON SUNGLASSES IN THE GARAGE, IN ANTICIPATION OF SUNLIGHT OUTSIDE, THEN THE DISPLAY DIMMING APPEARS SO SEVERE AS TO NOT BE ABLE TO SEE ANY OBJECTS IN THE DISPLAY, UNTIL THE DISPLAY BRIGHTENS AFTER ABOUT 15 SECONDS. THE WORD "OBJECTS" HERE MEANS ANYTHING REASONABLY DISCERNIBLE ON A TYPICAL DRIVEWAY OR ROADWAY SURFACE INCLUDING CHILDREN. THE PROBLEM MAY BE RELATED TO THE LIGHT SENSOR ON THE DASH USED TO AUTOMATICALLY TURN ON LIGHTS IN DARKNESS, BECAUSE WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE AT DUSK THE VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON AND THE BACKUP CAMERA DISPLAY DOES NOT DIM. TWO VIDEOS SHOWING THE ABOVE PROBLEMS AT DAYLIGHT AND DUSK ARE ABOUT 30 TO 35 MB EACH AND TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD HERE. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TODAY.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 TO 65 MPH ON A FOUR LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER, TURNED OFF, AND RESTARTED. THE POWER STEERING PINION, GEAR, AND ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE WERE ALL REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,458.

STEERING
ENTERING ON TO RTE 50 (MY LEFT SIDE) IN MARYLAND, MY POWER STEERING AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND BOTH FUNCTIONS STOPPED WORKING. I STRUGGLED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. I RESTARTED IT AND BOTH SYSTEMS APPEARED TO BE WORKING AND NO LIGHTS ILLUMINED. I DROVE FOR A FEW MILES TO GET HOME AND WHEN I MADE A RIGHT TURN THE POWER STEERING FAULT LIGHT WENT ON AND I LOST MY POWER STEERING AGAIN. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AND I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. HAD MY WIFE BEEN DRIVING I DO NOT KNOW THAT SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN AS FORTUNATE. IT WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER THE TRUCK SAFELY WITHOUT POWER STEERING

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK 3 MONTHS AGO AND IT HAD AROUND 9000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING AT AROUND 25 MPH WHEN I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER MY HOOD. I PULLED OVER, SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, AND POPPED THE HOOD. I OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICED THE ENGINE WAS ON FIRE. OPENING THE HOOD JUST ENRAGED IT MORE. I SLAMMED THE HOOD SHUT, AND GOT TO A SAFE DISTANCE AND CALLED 911. WITHIN MINUTES THE TRUCK WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. AFTER THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT, THE FIREMEN SAID IT APPEARED TO HAVE STARTED IN THE VICINITY OF THE ALTERNATOR. THE BRACKET WAS MELTED OFF AND ALL THAT WAS LEFT OF THE ALTERNATOR WAS A BASKET OF COPPER. EVERYTHING MINUS THE BED WAS ON FIRE.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING ON A TWO LANE NARROW MOUNTAIN ROAD STAB/TRACK LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND POWER STEERING WENT OFF. PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD TO ASSESS THE SITUATION. TURNED IGNITION OFF AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON PROBLEM WENT AWAY. NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD SAME WARNING LIGHT INDICATION AND POWER STEERING FAILED. PUT TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL TURNED IGNITION OFF THEN BACK ON AND PROBLEM WENT AWAY. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER SEVERAL DAYS LATER FOR REPAIR. DEALER TOLD ME FOUR SOFTWARE UPDATES WERE INCORPORATED. PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN ABOUT FOUR WEEKS LATER WHILE DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD ABOUT A HALF HOUR AFTER ENCOUNTERING A MODERATE RAIN SQUALL. RETURNED VEHICLE TO DEALER THREE WEEKS AGO AND THEY STILL HAVE THE VEHICLE IN THEIR SHOP. I HAVE RECEIVED NO INFORMATION AS TO THE STATUS OF THE REPAIR EFFORT. I CONSIDER THIS PHENOMENA EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I AM 6'3" AND WEIGH 250 POUNDS. WHEN THE POWER STEERING FAILS IT IS ALL I CAN DO TO KEEP THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL.

STEERING
1. PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW FORM DEALERSHIP. 2. ON DATE I LISTED WHILE DRIVING A STRAIGHT RURAL ROAD (ABOUT 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING) THE "SERVICE" INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON WITH MESSAGE STATING THAT POWER STEERING WAS NOT WORKING, ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER INDICATOR LIGHTS- TIRE PRESSURE/TRACTION CONTROL??? 3. MY CONCERN- IF YOU ARE GOING STRAIGHT CAR/TRUCK CAN BE STEERED WITH EFFORT. IT BECOMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME (6'0" 180 LBS) TO STEER WHEN TURNING OR MANEUVERING. I HOPE THE DANGER IS APPARENT TO YOU FROM WHAT I HAVE STATED. WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION (DROVE SLOW AND VERY CONTROLLED ON RURAL ROADS, 15 MINUTES) I DID SOME ERRANDS WITH THE PLAN TO GET THE TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE. WHEN I CAME OUT TO LEAVE, STARTED TRUCK- EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL- LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. 4. TODAY, JUNE 26, OUT DOING ERRANDS- SAME SCENARIO OCCURRED- NO WARNING EXCEPT FOR "SERVICE" INDICATOR IN MIDDLE OF MY DRIVE- NO POWER STEERING. AGAIN- VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND MANEUVER. EVERYTHING IS FINE, BACK TO NORMAL, WHEN I STOPPED AND RE-STARTED THE TRUCK. 5. GMC SAID THEIR POWER STEERING IS NEW ON THE THIS VEHICLE- "ELECTRONIC" NO BELT, ETC. 6. ALMOST SEEMS LIKE A COMPUTER ISSUE, LIKE A RE-BOOT ON THE SYSTEM, WHEN THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND THEN RE-STARTED. 7. IF THIS SITUATION WOULD OCCUR TO OTHERS- PEOPLE COULD DIE AS THE RESULT OF ACCIDENTS. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS AND SEE IF THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRONIC STEERING/COMPUTER ON THE GMC CANYON CHEVROLET COLORADO. UPDATED 10/31/2017*CN

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER INITIAL START OF VEHICLE, SHIFTED FROM PARK TO REVERSE AND WHILE BACKING OUT OF GARAGE, A MESSAGE APPEARED IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER (DIC) THAT READ: "SERVICE, BRAKE ASSIST, DISMISS" - A FEW MINUTES LATER RECEIVED TWO EMAILS FROM ONSTAR WHICH READ: AN ISSUE WITH THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IN YOUR 2015 GMC CANYON CREW CAB HAS BEEN DETECTED. AN ISSUE WITH THE STABILITRAK STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM IN YOUR 2015 GMC CANYON CREW CAB HAS BEEN DETECTED. SUBSEQUENTLY, VISITED SELLING DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHECKED FUSE IN RELATION TO TSB # PB-14669, NHTSA ID # 10056603. DEALERSHIP FOUND 30 AMP FUSE TO ALREADY BE IN PLACE. CLEARED TROUBLE CODE, BUT IT HAS SINCE DISPLAYED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE DIC. CONTINUE TO RECEIVE SEVERAL EMAILS FROM ONSTAR WITH SUBJECT LINE OF "ONSTAR VEHICLE HEALTH ALERT NOTIFICATION FOR YOUR 2015 GMC CANYON CREW CAB" - ONSTAR HAS ADVISED THAT THESE ARE "FALSE EMAIL ALERTS" AND THAT GENERAL MOTORS IS WORKING ON A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT NO UPDATE OR FIX IS AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME. NO ESTIMATED DATE OF RESOLUTION, AND UNKNOWN EXACTLY HOW SERIOUS THIS APPARENT SAFETY ISSUE MIGHT BE. *TR

STEERING
STEERING WHEEL RATTLES AND IS DISTRACTING TO DRIVER. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM WITH NO CURRENT SOLUTION AS OF 4/27/15. I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HAND PRESSING DOWN ON THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG COVER/HORN TO PREVENT THE RATTLE. THE PROBLEM STARTED WITHIN A WEEK OF BUYING THE VEHICLE. (A 2015 GMC CANYON SLE LONG BED 4X2) DRIVING WITH A DISTRACTING NOISE IN THE VEHICLE CAN BE DANGEROUS AND PRESSING YOUR HAND OVER THE AIRBAG COVER IS ALSO DANGEROUS IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. *TR
