2004 GMC CANYON Complaints

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A BASIC 2004 GMC CANYON (I.E., NO POWER WINDOWS/LOCKS). I WAS NOT INFORMED THAT THE PASSENGER DOOR DID NOT HAVE A KEYED ENTRY. I RECENTLY SAW ANOTHER COMPLAINT REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND HAVE SEEN OTHER COMMENTS ON OTHER WEBSITES. ADDITIONALLY, A FRIEND ALSO BOUGHT A BASIC 2004 COLORADO AND WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE LACK OF THIS FEATURE. ASIDE FROM THE NUISANCE IN NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR DIRECTLY, I AGREE WITH THE OTHER COMPLAINT ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE THAT THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE IF THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IS BLOCKED AND A CHILD OR OTHER PERSON BECOMES INJURED OR SICK AND YOU CANNOT OPEN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. PERSONALLY, I BELIEVE THAT GMC SHOULD OFFER TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM ON THESE BASIC TRUCKS OR AT LEAST OFFER THE MODIFICATION AT A REASONABLE PRICE. I E-MAILED GMC REGARDING THIS ISSUE BUT THE RESPONSE BASICALLY SKIRTED THE ISSUE. I ALSO INCLUDED THE ABOVE COMMENTS TO GMC ON THE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION FORM.*AK

PURCHASED 2004 CANYON CREW CAB WITH 2.8L 4 CYLINDER, AUTOMATIC AND 1SC SLE OPTION PACKAGE. TRUCK APPEARS TO HAVE VIBRATION IN BODY THAT OCCURS AT DIFFERENT SPEED WHEN A STEADY SPEED IS HELD. USUALLY SHAKES/VIBRATION IS MOST NOTICEABLE AT 50~60 RANGE. HAVE HAS TIRES REPLACED TWICE, WHEELS CHECKED AND DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIND SOURCE OF PROBLEM AFTER OVER 5,000 MILES. PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE DESIGN FLAW IN CANYON SUSPENSION DESIGN. CURRENTLY IN DEALER FOR THIRD VISIT TO TRY AND CORRECT. TRUCK HAS HAD PROBLEM SINCE DAY ONE AND PER DEALER SERVICE MANAGER ALL OF HIS TRUCKS ON LOT HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. *JB

THERE IS A HIGH PITCHED WHINING COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHENEVER I USE THE AIR CONDITIONING. THE WHINE IS NOT CONSTANT. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT MAKES THE NOISE WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR KICKS IN. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ON 4/29/2004. *AK

I OWN A 2004 GMC CANYON, AND SOMEONE PARKED TOO CLOSE TO MY DRIVERSIDE FOR ME TO GET INTO THE VEHICLE, WHEN I WENT TO THE PASSENGERS SIDE I DISCOVERED THERE WAS NO LOCK IN THE PASSENGER DOOR. I DO NOT HAVE KEYLESS ENTRY. I WAS TRYING TO GET INTO THE VEHICLE TO REACH MY MEDICATION. I HAD NO WAY INTO THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER DID NOT DISCLOSE THE ABSENCE OF A PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCK. THIS CANNOT BE SAFE, WHAT IF A CHILD WAS IN THE TRUCK.*AK
