2015 GMC CANYON Complaints

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 50 MPH AND, WITHOUT WARNING, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. AFTER THE FAILURE, WARNINGS APPEARED TELLING ME TO HAVE POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK SERVICED.THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO PRIOR ISSUES. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS HAD IS HAPPENED IN THE SHARP CURVE OR TURN AS THE ONLY EASY WAY TO STEER THIS TRUCK WITHOUT POWER STEERING IS GOING STRAIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET THE TRUCK HOME, BUT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. TOOK TRUCK TO THE GM DEALER AND THEY REPORT THAT THE "STEERING GEARBOX LOST COMMUNICATION WITH THE POWER STEERING MODULE. A FAILED STEERING ASSEMBLY." AFTER RESEARCHING AND FINDING THAT THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2015 CANYON AND COLORADO, I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF A STEERING RECALL AND THAT IT WILL BE $2,300 TO FIX IT. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 33,000 MILES ON IT AND IS WELL KEPT. TO ME, THIS IS A MANUFACTURER QUALITY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS A GM SAFETY FAILURE AND RECALL. GMS FAILURE TO EXPAND THE RECALL AROUND THE STEERING ISSUES IN THESE VEHICLES IS GOING TO RESULT IN A MAJOR TRAGEDY. AND MANY PEOPLE SEEM TO BE PAYING A LOT OF MONEY TO FIX A KNOWN ISSUE AND FAILURE ON THE PART OF THE MANUFACTURER.

LOST POWER STEERING, POWER STEERING SERVICE MESSAGE, ABS LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, AND "!" LIGHT ALL CAME ON. MATCHES UP TO RECALL INFORMATION AVAILABLE. TOOK IT TO CHEVY, IT'S NOT COVERED, COSTING $400. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED IN THE POWER STEERING RECALL

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR GET HARD TO STEERING SIDE TO SIDE AND A WAINING LIGHT FOR SERVICE COME ON. TRY TO GET SERVICE BUT WHEN THE CAR IS TURN OFF LIGHT COME OFF AND CAN'T BE DETECTED BY THE DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. THE FUEL SYSTEM I CHANGE 3 NEW FUEL CAP AND STILL SHOW TIDE YOU CAP OR THE ENGINE SIGN

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE WARNING COMES ON AND I IMMEDIATELY LOSE CONTROL OF STEERING ASSIST PULLING THE STEERING FROM MY HANDS. SECONDS LATER A SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING COMES ON. I CAN PULL OVER AND TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND THE POWER STEERING RETURNS WHEN STARTED. IT CAN CONTINUE WORKING FOR A FEW MINUTES OR A FEW DAYS THERE'S NO PATTERN TO ITS MALFUNCTION. THE RECALL DATE IS JANUARY 6 2015 TO MARCH 19 2015 AND MY TRUCK WAS MANUFACTURED IN APRIL 2015 SO MY TRUCK DOESN'T COME UP IN THE RECALL. BUT I FEEL THEY NOT ONLY MADE A MISTAKE IN THE MANUFACTURING CAUSING THE RECALL BUT THEY MADE A MISTAKE IN THE RECALL WINDOW AND IT SHOULD BE EXTENDED BEYOND MARCH 19TH. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO A DEALER AND THEY HAVE DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS INTERMITTENT STEERING GEAR FAILURE AND ARE CHARGING ME $2339.00 TO FIX WHAT I BELIEVE SHOULD BE PART OF GMS RECALL. I HAVE ATTACHED PHOTOS OF THE DASH WARNINGS AND THE SPEED THAT IT HAPPENED. THIS MALFUNCTION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN IT HAPPENS IN A TURN.

POWER STEERING ASSIST IN THE VEHICLE STOPPED WHILE DRIVING MAKING IT HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, NO WARNINGS OR PRIOR ISSUES. IT JUST STOPPED AND TO GET IT GOING AGAIN I WOULD HAVE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE, LET IT SIT FOR A FEW THEN START UP AGAIN IN HOPES IT RESET(TEMPORARY FIX). *TR

AFTER APPROX 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING, LOSS OF POWER STEERING OCCURS AND VEHICLE RETURNS A POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK ERROR MESSAGE. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES, BOTH WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND ALSO WHILE STOPPED. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 26,000 MILES. *TR

POWER STEERING GOES OUT MID DRIVE WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND IT DOES NOT FUNCTION AGAIN UNTIL I PULL OVER, TURN THE IGNITION OFF, AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE - THE MECHANICAL POWER STEERING WORKS FINE UNTIL THE SYMPTOMS OCCUR AGAIN. I FIRST ALERTED MY DEALER 2 YEARS AGO AND THEY SAY THAT IT IS NOT THROWING A CODE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING ASSIST WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PREVIOUSLY UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING. STABILITRAK LIGHTS COMES ON ALONG WITH TRACTION CONTROL. HAS HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE SPEEDS. *TR

TRUCK LOCKED INTO LIMP MODE SUDDENLY ONE DAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE TRUCK WAS THEN STUCK IN ONE GEAR. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC IMMEDIATELY WHO REPLACED THE FUSE BOX AFTER FINDING IT BURNT OUT. FAST FORWARD A MONTH LATER, SAME ISSUE OCCURS ON THE ROAD. BOTH ISSUES OCCURRED WHILE ACCELERATING DURING A TURN. TOOK TO MECHANIC AGAIN TO FIND TCM FUSE BURNT OUT AND CODES P0700 AND P2534 PRESENT. MECHANIC REPLACED FUSE AND STRETCHED OUT WIRE BUNDLE TO SEE IF WIRING WAS AN ISSUE. MECHANIC ALSO TOOK THE TRUCK ON A ROAD TEST TO TRY TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE TO NO AVAIL. AS OF NOW THE TRUCK IS WORKING AFTER THE FUSE WAS REPLACED, HOWEVER IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. *TR
