2004 GMC CANYON Complaints

REAR FRAME HAS RUSTED COMPLETELY OUT. NOW SITTING AND CANNOT DRIVE. I LOVE DRIVING THIS TRUCK BUT NOW IT IS JUST SITTING. HOPE GM WILL SELL ME A FRAME AT COST SO I CAN FIX IT.

THE GMC PASSLOCK LOCKOUT FEATURE IS A PAIN IN THE REAR OF NEARLY EVERY CAR/TRUCK OWNER HAVING THIS FEATURE. TODAY, FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME, MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT START WHEN I TRIED TO START IT UP AFTER FUELING. MY TRUCK WAS STUCK AT THE GAS PUMPS, OBSTRUCTING OTHER PATRONS WAITING TO GAS UP. I SAT WAITING FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND TRIED STARTING IT AGAIN, WHILE GETTING DIRTY LOOKS FROM OTHER PEOPLE WAITING TO GAS UP. OF, COURSE IT DIDN'T START BECAUSE I HADN'T WAITED THE REQUISITE 10 MINUTES. FINALLY, I GOT OUT AND PUSHED THE TRUCK AWAY FROM THE PUMPS BY MYSELF (I AM 72 YEARS OLD) AND THEN WAITED 10 MINUTES AND FINALLY RE-STARTED MY VEHICLE. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS AGGRAVATION OF MY VEHICLE NOT STARTING MANY, MANY TIMES DURING THE 14 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GMC PRODUCT! GMC SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM ONCE AND FOR ALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC CANYON. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED THAT THE ENTIRE FRAME WAS CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000. *TT *JB

FRAME IS RUSTING AND COLLAPSING IN AREA BETWEEN CAB AND BED ON BOTH SIDES I HAD ATOYOTATACOMA WITH THIS CONDITION AND MANUFACTURER BOUGHT IT BACK . MY VEHICLE WAS NEVER IN A COLLISION. 95000 MILES

TRUCK FRAME HAS TOTALLY RUSTED OUT WITH ONLY 80,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. BODY SHOWS NOTHING, BUT THE FRAME IS DISINTEGRATING. I RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS BASED ON PICTURES WHICH SHOWED AN EXTREMELY CLEAN BODY AND INTERIOR (TRUE). GOT IT DELIVERED TO MY MECHANIC WHO CALLED ME TO SHOW ME THE HOLES IN THE FRAME!

THE FRAME HAS TOTALLY RUSTED AND IS BREAKING APART WHILE THE REST OF THE TRUCK IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. SEE PHOTOS. THIS WAS NOTICED ON 09-18-17. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK NEW IN 2004 AND AS YOU CAN TELL BY THE MILEAGE IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN VERY LITTLE. PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC CANYON. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR SUBFRAME AND THE TRUCK BED WERE SEVERELY CORRODED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE AND SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN. THE LOCAL DEALER STATED THAT THERE WERE ISSUES REPORTED ABOUT RUST TO THE REAR SUBFRAME OF SOME SIMILAR VEHICLES; HOWEVER, THERE WERE NO RECALLS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 154,000.

A PORTION OF THE FRAME HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE REAR TIRE ON THE DRIVER SIDE. WATER MUST HAVE GOTTEN TRAPPED INSIDE OF THE BOX FRAME DUE TO LACK OF DRAINAGE HOLES AND A 12 INCH SECTION ON THE BOTTOM OF THE FRAME HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OFF. ONE OF THE VERTICAL WELDS GOING UP THE SIDE OF THE FRAME HAS ALSO RUSTED THROUGH IN THIS SPOT. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY DRIVEN ON PAVED ROADS IN URBAN MINNESOTA.

MY 2004 GMC CANYON CAUGHT FIRE YESTERDAY ABOUT 1:12 PM AND BURNED UP. THE FIRE DEPT. INDICATED A STRONG SMELL OF GAS. THIS EVENT HAPPENED ABOUT 20 MINUTES AFTER I ARRIVED HOME IN THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT BY THE EASTSIDE FIRE DEPT UNDER INCIIDENT NUMBER 17-1594. THEIR PHONE NUMBER IS 425-313-3200.

HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME AND WAS TOLD TO REPORT TO THIS SITE MY PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON, TRUCK IS A EXTENDED CAB SO CHECKED THE WIRING IN THE DOORS AND THEY WERE BROKE IN PASSENGER DOOR SO I REPAIRED THEM THINKING I FOUND THE PROBLEM AND LIGHT STILL STAYS ON AND RADIO WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IS OPENED ALSO DOME LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON BUT WILL WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR IS OPENED?????? DEALERSHIP JUST WANTS $$$$$ TO CHECK THE CODES AND MORE $$$$ TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM THAT IS OCCURRING FROM THEIR POOR DESIGN FROM WHAT I HAVE READ I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM. I'M AFRAID THE AIR BAG WILL NOT WORK ON PASSENGER SIDE IF AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS? ALSO CHECKED THE WIRES UNDER SEAT AND THEY LOOK FINE?
