2016 GMC CANYON Complaints

Driving and the Stabilitrak warning comes on as well as the Power steering warning. later after the vehicle is turned off it will not restart (no crank, no Start) and there is no communication with the ECM until it has had the battery disconnected for an extended period. This is very dangerous losing power steering and stabilitrak while driving is going to cause an accident. I would like to see a recall on the 2016 like there is on the 2015 with this same issue. I have not had the issue repaired yet. waiting to get it into a shop who tells me they will likely need to replace the Rack and Pinion on this truck to correct the issue.

DEF Fluid/nox sensor. My truck has 37,000 miles on it. I have been limited to 65mph, 55mph, and then 5mph 3 separate times already because DEF fluid quality poor permanent code. It all comes down to a dirty nox sensor #2 in the exhaust. The DEF fluid is not actually poor quality. I frequently travel long distance. This permanent code should not be limiting my speed. I want a full recall and have this removed from the truck. I did not buy a truck for it to tell me I can't go a certain distance for so many miles because it may be polluting a little extra. This is a safety hazard and a costly hazard when you get stranded on the side of a highway or cannot keep up with traffic because the truck is limited to a certain speed. The message also blocks all digital functions from being accessed at all times.

the power steering routinely fails when driving, creating a dangerous road hazard since it obviously makes it next to impossible to control the steering wheel. I've taken it to the dealer several times now, and they have a different solution, but they can't promise that it will fit the issue. no other symptoms of the problem occur prior to the steering control being lost, but the indicator light on the dashboard does note the steering failure simultaneously when the power steering is lost. Up to now, the only solution, which is very temporary, is to turn the car off and wait 15 seconds or so before starting back up, but that only lasts for 10 miles or so before the steering is lost again. this has been going on for 3 months now.

I was driving 70 mph on the highway at roughly 6:45 am on Saturday. Luckily there was no traffic due to the early weekend day. There were no indications previous to the power steering going out. Dashboard flashed error after the power steering went out. I was on a bridge and unable to maneuver the steering wheel. I was on a straight patch and slowed down with my hazards on. I stopped my truck and took the keys out and then restarted it and it was fine. I turned around to drive home and it did it again. Twice while I was in the highway at high speeds!!

Power steering and stabilitrak intermittently go out. Latest episode resulted in power steering failing at low speeds and continuously chiming for service. Stabilitrak error message also comes in notifying service. This issue has happened in the past where I would turn on the vehicle and the power steering would be out without a service warning. After shutting the vehicle off and on again power steering would be back. In the last attempt to drive this error came up and attempting to turn the vehicle off and on again did not fix. It was not until I was about 15 miles down the road that the power steering kicked back in. I believe this may be the same issue as the recall of the 2015 models.

It keeps putting my vehicle into limp mode with the def system and tell me that I have poor exhaust quality. I can’t keep taking my vehicle into the shop not sure if it’s a sensor or the soot again or what but something has got to give

Complete loss of power steering while driving, unable to control truck steering at slow speed. Warning lights were Service Power Steering and Service Stabillitrac. GMC dealership repair will be $2200.00. Replace entire steering rack.

The contact owns a 2016 GMC Canyon. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH, the vehicle lost power steering functionality. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact pulled over to the side of the roadway and called a friend for assistance. The contact had experienced the failure on three separate occasions. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 62,000.

At random times, the power steering will cut off making the vehicle very difficult to steer. This can happen when starting or while driving. It will not come back on until the vehicle is shut off. Sometimes restarting works and sometimes it does not. I have put dielectric grease on the connecters behind the airbag. This seems to help for a while. The condition matches NHTSA Campaign number 21V213000 for power steering issues. However, many 2016 models experience the exact same issue. The dealer will not help. This is my daughters truck and she is not big/strong enough to overcome the loss of power steering.

1 inch section of magnetic strip GLUED to outer rim of reluctor rim broke off. For an item that sees such a high rate of speed, gluing anything to the outside is piss poor engineering.
