2005 GMC CANYON Complaints

OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS I HAVE HAD TO PLACE MY BLOWER MOTOR, BLOWER MOTOR'S RESISTOR, AND THE CONNECTORS FOR EACH OF THESE PARTS TO BE ABLE TO FIX MY AC. I'VE SEARCHED THE WEB, TALKED TO MECHANICS, HELD DISCUSSIONS WITH VARIOUS AUTO-PARTS EMPLOYEES, AND EVEN TALKED TO SEVERAL CHEVY/GMC DEALERSHIPS, AND FOUND THAT EACH OF THEM HAVE ALL SEEN OR HERD ABOUT THIS PROBLEM MANY TIMES IN THE PAST. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULDN'T BE TOLERATED AND REALLY NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THE ISSUES I HAVE SEEN ARISE WITH THIS PROBLEM ON MY PERSONAL VEHICLE COULD VERY EASILY BECOME A FIRE HAZARD BECAUSE OF THIS FAULTY ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. I WOULD JUST LIKE TO GO ONE YEAR IN THIS TRUCK WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT MY AC'S BLOWER MOTOR GOING OUT ON ME. SOMETHING REALLY SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT THIS. THE GMC NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PRODUCTS THAT THEY PUT OUT. THE PROBLEMS FOR THIS ISSUE FIRST STARTED AROUND 50,000 MILES AND I HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE REOCCUR EVERY 10-15,000 MILES EVER SINCE. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY INDICATING MISFIRE WHEN IDLING; CAR IS SHAKING AND RATTLING THERE'S A SPECIAL COVERAGE LETTER #07123A BUT GMC DOES NOT COVER INTAKE LEAKAGE ISSUE ONCE VEHICLE IS PASSED 7 YRS OR 100K MILES, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE 2007. IF YOU ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER, THERE IS NO WAY TO BE NOTIFIED OR CONTACTED. MY DEALER NEVER MADE ME AWARE OF THE ISSUE AFTER PURCHASING THE TRUCK. NOW I'M PASSED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND AM SUPPOSED TO COVER THE FULL COSTS. THIS IS CUSTOMER FRAUD SINCE ITS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM RELATED TO THE ENGINE - ALL 2004-06 GMC CANYONS ARE AFFECTED BY THIS. THIS NEEDS A RECALL - NOT EXTENDED WARRANTY! *TR

ABS LIGHT COMES ON WITH NO APPARENT REASON, ALSO TRACTION FAULT ALSO COMES ON FROM TIME TO TIME AFFECTING GAS MILEAGE. THERE IS ALSO A MISFIRE PROBLEM. *TR

THE ABS FAULT LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ABS SYSTEM STARTS TRYING TO OVER WORK. THIS IN MY OPINION IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE HAD THIS LOOKED AT AND HAVE BEEN TOLD IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE, HOWEVER NO RECALL. SECOND ISSUE:HVAC SYSTEM HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WHERE IT KEEPS OVER HEATING AND THE HVAC HARNESS HAS TO BE REPLACED, AFTER BEING BURNED. THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY NOW. IM SURE YOU HAVE OTHER FOLKS REPORTING THESE ISSUES...JUST LOOK AT THE FORUMS ON THE INTERNET... *TR

AFTER GETTING MY TRUCK WASHED THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OUT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO GMC TODAY, MAY 8, 2012, AND THEY FOUND A WIRE UNDER THE CARPET IN THE REAR PASSENGER AREA BROKEN. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND VERY SELDOM HAS PASSENGERS IN THE REAR SEAT AREA. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TRUCK BECAME RUFF IDLING AND SHAKING AND POWERING ITSELF OFF. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 GMC CANYON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,500. ....UPDATED 12/03/12 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE WIRING HARNESS IN THE VEHICLE FAILED TO KEEP THE AIR BAG WORKING DUE TO NORMAL USE OF THE DOOR. THE WIRING DISCONNECTED AFTER OPENING AND SHUTTING THE DOOR OVER TIME. UPDATED 01/11/12

WHEN I TRY TO STOP THE VEHICLE AFTER GOING BETWEEN 5-10 MPH, THE ABS SYSTEM "ACTIVATES" AND MAKES A "GRINDING SOUND". IT WILL DO THIS AFTER 3-4 STOPS AND THEN THE ABS FAULT LIGHT WILL COME ON AND THE PROBLEM STOPS. IF I START THE TRUCK AND DRIVE FASTER (15 MPH OR FASTER ) THEN BRAKE, IT DOESN'T DO IT AT THE HIGHER SPEEDS. *TR
