DT: 2005 GMC CANYON. THE CONSUMER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND HAD IT SIX DAYS WHEN THE VEHICLE KICKED INTO HIGH SPEED AT 50-60 MPH. THE VEHICLE WENT OVER A CLIFF AND INTO A PARKED VEHICLE AND WAS TOTALED. THE CONSUMER BROKE HIS HAND, AND THE CONSUMER'S WIFE BRUISED HER KIDNEY. THE INSURANCE COMPANY GOT THE CONSUMER A NEW VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING PARKED INTO THE GARAGE AND THE RPMS REVVED TO 5,500. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT IT FELT LIKE THE CRUISE CONTROL HAD KICKED IN, BUT THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ON. THEN, THE CONSUMER CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD HIM TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED THE CONSUMER BACK AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR A DAY AND TOLD THE CONSUMER TO COME AND GET THE VEHICLE. THEY DID NOT KNOW WHY INCIDENT OCCURRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN WITH THE FIRST CRASH. *AK *SC

THE "2005 GMC CANYON" PICK-UP AND SIMILAR VEHICLES MADE BY THIS MANUFACTURER LACK KEYED ACCESS LOCKS ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE DOORS. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, BECAUSE THERE IS NO PRACTICAL WAY TO READILY ACCESS THE VEHICLE FROM THE PASSENGER-SIDE, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL THAT THE VEHICLE OWNER OR PASSENGERS WOULD BE EXPOSED TO UNDUE HARM. IT IS TAKEN FOR GRANTED BY MOST CONSUMERS THAT VEHICLES COME WITH KEYED ACCESS ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE, BUT NOWHERE IN THE MANUFACTURERS LITERATURE DOES IT MENTION THAT THERE ARE NO OUTSIDE LOCKS ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE OF THESE VEHICLES. IF A CONSUMER WERE TO PURCHASE THE VEHICLE WITH POWER LOCKS, THIS WOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE, UNLESS THERE WAS A POWER FAILURE TO THE VEHICLE, BUT VEHICLES SOLD THAT DO NOT COME WITH THE POWER DOOR LOCK FEATURE, DO NOT COME WITH OUTSIDE DOOR LOCKS ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RETROFIT THESE VEHICLES WITH OUTSIDE DOOR LOCKS. *JB
