2016 GMC CANYON Complaints

•Water coolant valve, and torque converter. •my Truck temp gage will fluctuate towards red line and back to normal. Torque converter caused my vehicle to shake, vibrate, slow accelerating, made it seem vehicle will shut off on highway or in heavy traffic. •I went to several mechanics, including the dealerships and they fixed my water coolant valve but issue persisted, the dealerships said my truck was running fine until I had requested to ride along with mechanic, that's when he guessed it would be torque converter. •has not been inspected, just test drove and replaced by mechanic •no lights indicated on dash board and I felt the shake and vibration around 08/01/2021 and reported to dealership. The water temp gage was reported back in Nov 2018 but the problem still persist.

Power steering fails intermittently while driving resulting in difficult steering and potential loss of control of vehicle.

Power steering shuts off while driving. I have to stop the vehicle and turn off and then re-start to get the power steering back working. This can happen at any time regardless of when or how long I've been driving. The power steering seems to shut off for no reason.

On three occasions the power steering malfunction warning came on. Brought it to Prime GMC. Both times software updates were performed. On third time they said needs new steering column. The steering is very difficult at low speeds. I can clear situation by turning off and back on.

The power steering intermittently fails, and the vehicle is almost impossible to steer during the failure. I took the vehicle to GM dealer, Ultimate Auto GMC/BUICK in Mountain Home, Arkansas. They told me the fix would be to replace a power steering module and the cost would be $1,600. I was aware the previous year's model had the same problem and was recalled. I called GM and they would not help with a recall. To me it is obvious that my truck has the same problem as the 2015 model, but they won't admit it. My safety was at risk because I could hardly turn the truck. I do get a warning message on the dash display.

When turning off vehicle the key will not to “off” mode. It stays in accessories mode and prevents the key from being able to be removed.

Have had truck in shop several times, currently in the shop and has been there for almost 3 weeks nobody seems to know what the problem is. Vehicle losses power and goes into a limp mode. Temperature gauge keeps failing, exhaust break does not work, ac cuts out often and does not work often, keeps trying to clean exhaust filter over and over again and again.

Power steering and stability control had intermittent failures while operating vehicle.

Vehicle power steering and stability controls has intermittent failures while operating the vehicle.

THE POWER STEERING HAS GONE OUT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS. THE LAST TIME, MY WIFE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. SHE WAS TURNING INTO S DRIVEWAY AND LAST POWER STEERING AND ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE SHE HAD TROUBLE TURNING THE TRUCK. I FOUND OUT GMC IS RECALLING ABOUT 60,000 VEHICLES FOR THIS ISSUE BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON THE LIST SO I WANT TO REPORT THE PROBLEM TO YOUR AGENCY SO YOU HAVE IT ON RECORD IN CASE I HAVE AN ACCIDENT
