EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
My husband recently asked if I had encountered any problems using the cruise control in this vehicle. Since I seldom drive any distance with that vehicle, I never noticed anything. But he had traveled onto the interstate, and when attempting to set the cruise, noticed it didn't work. Yesterday, I had to follow him somewhere, and I noticed the brake lights weren't coming on. We tested all the other things (tail lights, back up lights, turn signals), and everything was working properly. Today I was looking to see how to replace the brake light switch, and also noticed there were instructions on how to replace the cruise control switch and fuses,too (as they all seem to be related.) Then I found that some models of the Chevy Colorado and the GMC Canyon were affected by a recall for this same issue. When I looked it up just now, this model (2009 GMC Canyon) is not under the recall (but it has the same issue).

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Car will periodically and unpredictably not crank, fire or start. After attempting approximately 10 minutes later it will. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? One never knows circumstances in which they need reliable transportation. In my case I have elderly parents that can need me at any given time. In most cases it is an annoyance but due to the unpredictable factor anything could happen. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Yes but no codes were trapped in ECM Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING APPROX. 65 MPH IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE NEW YORK STATE THRUWAY WHEN I LOST ALL POWER TO MY TRUCK AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO MANUEVER OFF THE ROAD. I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO MY MECHANIC & WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP FLOW CONTROL MODULE. RECALL NO. 08411 2009 GMC CANYONS WERE RECALLED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE RECALL STATED THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM CONTROL MODULES HAVE A CONDITION IN WHICH AN ADHESIVE SEPARATION OF THE RTV SEAL BETWEEN THE SEAL AND THE HOUSING MAY ALLOW WATER TO SEEP INTO THE MODULE. WATER IN THE MODULE COULD CAUSE A SHORT, ILLUMINATION OF THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT (WHICH WAS ON IN MY TRUCK). ALSO THE ENGINE MAY BE HARD TO START, MAY NOT START OR MAY STALL. IF THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE IT IS MOVING, A CRASH MAY OCCUR! THIS HAPPENED TO ME BUT I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO NOT CRASH AND DIE. LIKE OTHERS MY TRUCK DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE VIN #S. OBVIOUSLY THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS PART. MY TRUCK HAD THE PROBLEMS STATED IN THE RECALL AND THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY MY MECHANIC & DEALERSHIP. HOWEVER, GMC DENIED THE REIMBURSEMENT BECAUSE IT WAS NOT WITHIN THE RECALLED VIN#S. GMC WAS NOT BROAD ENOUGH WITH THEIR RECALL!! I'M ATTACHING A PHOTO OF THE MODULE AND YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE THE CORROSION .

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MY PICKUP HAS WHAT GM REFERS TO AS "PHANTOM SHIFT". WHILE TRAVELING ON I5 @ 70 MILES PER HR, MY PICKUP THRU NO ACTION ON MY PART, SHIFTED INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE. PREVIOUSLY THIS HAPPENED WHILE TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT AT SLOWER SPEEDS. GM ISSUED A "BULLETIN" IN FEB. 2011 GIVING DEALERS INSTRUTIONS ON HOW TO DEAL WITH, AND REPAIRS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. A LOCAL DEALER, USING THAT BULLETIN, IN DECEMBER 2016 PROCEEDED TO "FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE." CHARGING ME $849.35. IN JULY 2017 THE SAME PROBLEM RE-APPEARED. THE LOCAL DEALER (AIRPORT CHEVROLET IN MEDFORD, OREGON) IS NOW REFUSING TO HONOR THEIR WARRANTY FOR THEIR "FIX IN DECEMBER CLAIMING THAT BECAUST THE COMPUTER IN MY VEHICLE IS NOT "THROWING ANY CODES". GM IS DEMANDING THAT I GET A SECOND OPION AT ANOTHER DEALER AT MY EXPENSE WHEN THE OTHER DEALER HAS ALREADY ESPRESSED AN ORAL OPION THAT THEY KNOW THEY CAN'T FIX ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T "THROW CODES". ACCORDING TO INFO I HAVE DISCOVERED ON LINE, THIS PROBLEM HAS EXHISTED WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL PICKUP SINCE 2004 AND NOW, GM IS REFUSING TO COOPERATE WITH ME. PLEASE HELP UPDATED 09/11/2017*JS

I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT GATEWAY SERVICE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH THE ENGINE STALL. THEY PULLED UP THE RECALL AND SHOWED IT TO ME AND ADVISED ME TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A GM DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL THAT THE GM DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL. I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK FOR 4 YEARS NOW AND THE SAME PROBLEM EXIST BUT GM DENYS THAT A RECALL EXIST EVEN WHEN I HAVE THE PAPERWORK IN HAND.THE RECALL PERTAINS TO TRUCK NUMBERSBETWEEN 98104805 - 98123129.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I DRIVE A 2009 GMC CANYON. WHEN DRIVING I'VE NOTICE THAT WHEN HITTING A HARD BUMP, SOMETIMES TURNING OR ACCELERATING QUICKLY WHETHER ON THE HIGHWAY OR STREET, THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF CAUSING THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES USELESS AND VERY HARD TO APPLY. SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES IN THE COURSE OF ONE TRIP AND HAPPENS AT A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT SPEEDS. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. THE ICON FOR THE THEFT DETERRENT APPEARS. THEN I HAVE TO QUICKLY PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO RESTART THE TRUCK. THE DATE BELOW IS THE MOST RECENT DAY IT HAS HAPPENED. THIS HAS BECOME A VERY SERIOUS CAUSE OF CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED TO THE IGNITION RECALL OR ANY OTHER RECALL. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN I HIT A HARD BUMP IN THE ROAD, AGAIN AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO MY MECHANIC, BUT HE WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I'VE DECIDED TO ASK THE DEALER IF THEY KNOW OF ANY RELATED PROBLEMS AND SEE WHAT RESPONSE I GET, BUT I ALSO WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO FIND OUT IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS ISSUE. IF YOU ARE AWARE OF ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE, CAN YOU PLEASE CONTACT ME SO THAT I MAY RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I DON'T WANT TO TAKE THIS ISSUE LIGHTLY BECAUSE THE LIFE OF MY FAMILY IS INVOLVED. IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS PLEASE CONTACT ME, MY NAME IS [XXX] AND MY PHONE NUMBER IS [XXX].

ENGINE
EVERY FEW DAYS THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START.... THE SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON.. YOU HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WAIT FOR ABOUT 10 TO 15 MINUTES FOR THE COMPUTER TO RESET BEFORE YOU CAN RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST ONCE TO TWICE A WEEK STARTING SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE... I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WHAT BECAUSE IT DID NOT DO IT TO THEM. I ASKED IF THEY STARTED IT AND DROVE IT SEVERAL TIMES FOR A FEW DAYS LIKE I DO AND THEY SAID NO THEY JUST PUT IT ON A MACHINE AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS I FEEL WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN I BOUGHT IT OR HAPPENED FOR SOME REASON SHORTLY AFTER WHEN I STILL SHOULD HAVE HAD A FACTORY WARRANTY... SO IT SHOULD BE FIXED AT NO CHARGE TO ME... IT IS OBVIOUSLY A FACTOR SECURITY DEFECT. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 7 MONTHS AND I AM TIRED OF HAVING TO DEAL WITH IT AND ALL THEY TELL ME IS WE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG.. I DON'T FEEL LIKE I SHOULD HAVE TO BE PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY.. IT SHOULD BE FIXED SO I HAVE WHAT I AM PAYING FOR A PROPERLY WORKING VEHICLE. *TR

AIR BAGS
MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON UNEXPECTEDLY AND REMAINED ON. THE CAUSE WAS DUE TO BROKEN AIRBAG (ORANGE WIRING IN THE EXTENDED CAB DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR. UPON INSPECTION, SEVERAL WIRES (AIR BAG (ORANGE), A SPEAKER WIRE (BROWN) WERE COMPLETELY BROKEN. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVY COLORADOS/GMC CANYONS WITH EXTENDED CABS AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER. THE AIRBAG SHOULDN'T BE COMPROMISED BECAUSE OF A POOR WIRING DESIGN IN THE REAR DOOR. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
TO START OUT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT THIS IS MY FIRST BRAND NEW VEHICLE I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. I WAS ON I 475 DRIVING APPROX. 65 MPH WHEN I LOST ALL POWER TO MY TRUCK AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO COAST OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO THE NEAREST GMC DEALERSHIP TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP FLOW CONTROL MODULE. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AT HOME AND FOUND OUT THAT 2009 GMC CANYONS WERE RECALLED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE RECALL STATED THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM CONTROL MODULES HAVE A CONDITION IN WHICH AN ADHESIVE SEPARATION OF THE RTV SEAL BETWEEN THE SEAL AND THE HOUSING MAY ALLOW WATER TO SEEP INTO THE MODULE. WATER IN THE MODULE COULD CAUSE A SHORT, ILLUMINATION OF THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT (WHICH WAS ON IN MY TRUCK). ALSO THE ENGINE MAY BE HARD TO START, MAY NOT START OR MAY STALL. IF THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE IT IS MOVING, A CRASH MAY OCCUR! HELLO, THIS HAPPENED TO ME BUT I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO NOT CRASH AND DIE. SO BACK TO THE RECALL ON MY TRUCK. GUESS WHAT? MY TRUCK DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE VIN #S THAT WERE RECALLED AND I WAS REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE MY WARRANTY COVERED THIS PROBLEM IF THE TRUCK WAS WITHIN 3 YEARS OR 36,000 MILES WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. WELL MY MILEAGE WAS ONLY 31,000 SO THAT WOULD QUALIFY BUT MY TRUCK WAS OVER 3 YEARS OLD. THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WRONG!!! OBVIOUSLY THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH 2009 GMC CANYONS BEING BUILT. HOW CAN YOU SAY IT WAS JUST A CERTAIN FEW THAT HAD THIS FAULTY PART PUT IN IT. MY TRUCK OBVIOUSLY HAD THE PROBLEMS STATED IN THE RECALL AND THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY THE DEALERSHIP.HOWEVER AFTER MANY AGGRAVATING HOURS TO GMC THEY STILL DENIED THE FIX BECAUSE IT WAS NOT WITHIN THE RECALLED VIN#S AND THAT IS WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE OR GET HURT BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? *TR

I SENT IN THIS COMPLAINT A YEAR AGO AND NEVER HEARD BACK FROM YOU. THROTTLE STICKS ON MY CANYON AND IT APPEARS TO BE COMPUTER RELATED. IT CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE EVEN AFTER TAKING MY FOOT "OFF THE GAS." IT WILL REV DOWN AFTER HITTING THE BRAKE PEDAL. HAVE YOU HEARD OF THIS BEFORE? TRUCK IS STANDARD SHIFT AND USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN "GOING THROUGH THE GEARS". *TR
