2015 GMC CANYON Complaints

WHILE DRIVING, POWER STEERING WAS DISABLED. LUCKILY NOT WHILE TURNING. STABILITRAC WAS WAS ENGAGED, BUT WAS FORCED TO DRIVE WITHOUT POWER STEERING FOR APPX. 30 MINUTES WITH A 3 MONTH OLD AND SPOUSE. ONCE HOME, TURNED VEHICLE OFF, THEN BACK ON TO MOVE IT APPX. 5-10 MINUTES LATER AND POWER STEERING WAS BACK TO WORKING PROPERLY. TOOK VEHICLE TO MECHANIC, WAS GIVEN GM RECALL BULLETIN 15595A AND TOLD HE COULD NOT REPAIR, I NEEDED TO CALL DEALER. CALLED DEALER AND GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE TO BE TOLD BY BOTH THAT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED. DESPITE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS GMC WAS NOT WILLING TO DIAGNOSE WITHOUT CHARGE SINCE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. GMC REFUSES TO CONFIRM IF MY VIN MAY HAVE BEEN MISSED WHEN RECALL ISSUED WITHOUT CHARGING. THEREFORE LEAVING ME THE OPTION TO 1. PAY FEES AND OVER PRICED DEALER SERVICE CHARGES TO DIAGNOSE AND ADDRESS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT AFFECTED OTHER 2015 GMC CANYONS OR 2. RISK THE SAME ISSUE WHILE DRIVING CROSS-STATE WITHIN A WEEK DUE TO WORK REQUIREMENTS AND LACK OF AVAILABILITY OF A 'COMPANY CAR.'

SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST 2 YEARS, MY 2015 GMC CANYON HAS STALLED WHEN EITHER COMING TO A STOP OR TRYING TO START FROM A STOP. MOST TIMES IT SHUDDERS WHILE STOPPING THEN THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. 2 TIMES I THOUGHT THAT I WAS SAFE FROM STALL BECAUSE IT REMAINED RUNNING AFTER THE SHUDDER BUT WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS TO GO IT STALLED. THE LAST TIME, ABOUT A WEEK AGO, IT HAPPENED WHILE TRYING TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION. CAUSING ME TO PANIC, THROW IT INTO NEUTRAL AND START, WITH BARELY ENOUGH TIME TO THROW IT INTO GEAR AND GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IT'S SCARY AND DANGEROUS TO BOTH ME AND TO OTHER DRIVERS. IVE ATTEMPTED TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THERE AREN'T ANY WARNING LIGHTS ON. I DID GET A NOTICE ON THIS, TOOK IT BACK INTO THE DEALER AND AGAIN WAS TOLD WITHOUT WARNING LIGHTS THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING. SO DOES SOMEONE ACTUALLY HAVE TO DIE OR BE IN A LIFE CHANGING ACCIDENT FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE?

OIL COOLANT LINE THAT IS NOT VIEWABLE HAS RUSTED OUT AND OIL IS LEAKING FROM MY CAR, ALMOST CAUSING ENGINE DAMAGE. I DID NOT RECEIVE AN OIL LOW WARNING UNTIL I WAS OUT OF OIL. NO INDICATIONS THE OIL WAS LEAKING AND EVEN WITH CONSISTENT OIL CHANGES IT WAS UNABLE TO BE SEEN UNTIL THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I AM UNSURE HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE IT WAS A SLOW LEAK AND I DIDN'T GET ANY ALERTS UNTIL ALL MY OIL WAS GONE. MY TRUCK IS 4 YRS OLD, I BOUGHT IT USED SEPTEMBER 29,2015 WITH 1100 MILES ON IT, I MAINTAIN MY VEHICLE, IT HAS 43000 MILES AND I GET ZIEBART RUST PROOFING YEARLY, THAT I BOUGHT THROUGH THE DEALER WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.

VEHICLE STALLS THEN JERKS FORWARD WHEN ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING. JERKING CAUSES BRIEF LOSS OF CONTROL AS VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD WHILE TRANSMISSION ATTEMPTS TO CATCH UP. THIS OCCURS AT ANY MOMENT WHILE DRIVING (UPHILL, DOWNHILL, TURNING, CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS) SEEMS TO OCCUR MOST WHEN SPEEDS ARE UNDER 60 MPH. CAUSES VERY UNSAFE CONDITIONS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. OCCURRED TODAY AND HAS OCCURRED ALMOST EVERYDAY SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. (2 YEARS)

2015 GMC CANYON RADIO DISPLAY SCREEN CHANGES CHANNELS AND DISPLAY WITHOUT OPERATOR INPUT. DASHBOARD DISPLAY WILL CHANGE FROM" INFO" TO "AUDIO" RADIO STATION .DESPITE NUMEROUS DUPLICATE COMPLAINTS O THE INTERNET (GOOGLE SEARCH ). NO DUPLICATE COMPLAINTS WERE FOUND IN NHTSA ? RESOLVE SEEMS TO BE A DISPLAY SCREEN REPLACEMENT$$$. VEHICLE IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. NO DIFFERENCE.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE VEHICLE. THE DASH GAVE A WARNING THAT READ POWER STEERING. DRIVE WITH CARE. I STOPED THE VEHICLE, TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AND IT SEEMED TO RESET AND WORKED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST TWO DAYS. I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2015 GMC CANYON FOR THIS ISSUE BUT MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25 MPH THE FIRST TIME AND ABOUT 45 MPH THE SECOND TIME ON CITY STREET. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE THE TRUCK WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED LAST WEEK SO I DO NOT KNOW IF THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

LOSS OF STEERING. PREVIOUSLY THERE WAS A RECALL ON CANYON VEHICLES BUILT FROM JANUARY TO MARCH OF 2015, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT 6/23/15 AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. I'M ASKING FOR AN EXTENDED RECALL BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE IN LOSING THE STEERING. I JUST CAME OFF OF I-80 AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN THE STEERING WHEN OUT. FIVE MORE TIMES THAT DAY THE STEERING WENT OUT ON THE WAY HOME. GOOD THING THERE WASN'T A PERSON WALKING BY ME OR GOOD THING IT DIDN'T GO OUT WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGH WAY ESPECIALLY CHANGING LANES. I HAD THE DEALER "RICHARDSON MOTORS" IN DUBUQUE, IOWA DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AT $135.00. THE STEERING QUIT ON ME 5 TIMES THAT DAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING FROM 2 MPH TO 25 MPH..

THE POWER STEERING FAILS AND THE TRUCK HAS TO BE TURNED OFF AND BACK ON TO CLEAR THE PROBLEM. FIRST FAILED A WEEK AGO MOVING AT ABOUT 10 MPH. FAILED AGAIN WHILE ROLLING TO A STOP A FEW DAYS LATER. BOTH TIMES SO FAR WAS STEERING STRAIGHT AND IN NO TRAFFIC. ONCE ON PAVEMENT AND ONCE ON DIRT ROAD. 45K MILES ON THIS 2015 CANYON. VERY DANGEROUS FAILURE!

TRUCK LOSES POWER STEERING GOING DOWN ROAD. I HAVE TO STOP PUT TRUCK IN PARK TURN OFF KEY AND RESTART VEHICLE TO RESET. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

"TAKATA RECALL" WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, STABILIZATION WARNING CODE COMES ON AND I LOSE POWER STEERING. ANOTHER MESSAGE SAYS POWER STEERING SERVICE REQUIRED. WHEN I STOP AND RESTART TRUCK EVERYTHING IS RESET AND WORKS FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE PAST 5 DAYS. LAST TIME THIS OCCURRED IT DID NOT RESET WHEN I STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE TRUCK. DROVE HOME WITH NO POWER STEERING.
