2016 GMC CANYON Complaints

THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT FROM A HIGH GEAR (5 OR 6) TO A LOWER GEAR WHEN SLOWING DOWN FROM 45 MPH TO 20 MPH (OR LOWER). WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED TO ACCELERATE THE ENGINE BUCKS, VIBRATES, AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE RPM DROPS TO 1,000 RPM OR LOWER. IF THE ACCELERATOR IS QUICKLY FLOORED THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS SEVERAL GEARS LOWER AND JERKS FORWARD. THIS CONDITION HAPPENS PRIMARILY ON SECONDARY ROADS WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE ROAD AND WHEN PULLING FROM ONE ROAD INTO TRAFFIC ON ANOTHER ROAD. THE SITUATION WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE TRUCK DOES NOT ACCELERATE AS IT SHOULD.

TRUCK SEEMS TO BE MISSING WHEN CRUISING, THEN HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING. SEEMS TO BE NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL FREQUENTLY WHEN JUST ACCELERATING. DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM IS 90% REDUCED WHEN USING PREMIUM FUEL. STILL NO IDEA.

ON 12/29.2015 AT APPROXIMATELY 8:00 AM ON A CLEAR BRIGHT DAY I WAS DRIVING NEAR MY MY HOME RETURNING FROM AND ERRAND. I WAS APPROXIMATELY 90% THROUGH A SLIGHT RIGHT TURN WHEN THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WENT OUT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LEAVE THE ROAD, CONTINUE DOWN A DITCH HITTING A CONCRETE DRIVE, CONCRETE MAIL BOX AND A POWER POLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND I HAD SOFT TISSUE BRUISING, CUTS AND ABRASIONS.

I HAVE A FRIEND WHO HAS A 2016 GMC CANYON WHERE THE RADIO/ONSTAR/REAR VIEW CAMERA ETC CUTS OUT AFTER A SHORT OPERATION TIME -- MY FRIEND HAS TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER WITH NO RESULTS. MY FIEND IS ELDERLY AND DOES NOT HAVE A COMPUTER THAT IS WHY I AM DOING THIS FOR HIM. THE BACK-UP CAMERA DOES NOT OPERATE WHEN THE RADIO/ONSTAR/CAMERA CUTS OUT. THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET OR A HIGHWAY, TURNING

AFTER STARTING MY TRUCK AND DRIVING UNTIL THE ENGINE WARMS UP, I TURN ON JUST THE FAN AND THE A/C LIGHT COMES ON. ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL THAT IS ONLY SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN IF THE AUTO DEFOG IS ACTIVATED. IT DOES NOT TURN ON WHEN I START THE TRUCK IF THE ENGINE IS WARM. ALSO, THE RADIO/USB PORT WILL RANDOMLY TURN ON BY ITSELF WHEN I START THE TRUCK OR SOMETIMES AFTER I END A PHONE CALL. ONCE THE ENTIRE TOUCH SCREEN SYSTEM WAS COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. I THEN COULD NOT TURN THE RADIO VOLUME UP OR DOWN, CHANGE STATIONS, OR USE ANY FEATURES OF THE TOUCH SCREEN.

FAULTY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING CAUSED VEHICLE VEER OFF THE RODE HITTING A CONCRETE WALL, CONCRETE MAIL BOX AND TELEPHONE. VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. THE VEHICLE WAS NORTH BOUND A TWO BLACK TOP ROAD AT A SLIGHT RIGHT HAND TURN.
