THE GMC 2017 CANYON VIBRATES AT HIGHWAY SPEED 60MPH TO 70MPH. THE 2ND DAY AFTER I BOUGHT IT TOOK IT ON LONG TRIP FOUND IT HAD VIBRATION PROBLEMS. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR TIRE BALANCE TWICE REPLACED FRONT WHEEL BEARING THEN TRANSMISSION FLUSH. THEN AFTER TRANSMISSION FLUSH HAD VIBRATION BETWEEN 40-45 THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL THAT THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO. DUE TO VIBRATIONS OVER TIME THIS CONCERNS ME. FOR BEING STRANDED OR WORSE CAUSING AN ACCIDENT FROM SOMETHING COMING LOOSE. I`VE ALREADY HAD TO TIGHTEN UP MY SPARE TIRE. I BOUGHT THIS PICKUP FOR LONG TRIPS SINCE I`VE RETIRED. LIKE THE ONE MY WIFE AND I ARE GOING ON IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR. I ALSO FEEL IF THERE GOING TO SELL CRAP LIKE THIS THEY NEED TO PUT THE VIBRATION ISSUES ON THE ACCESSORY `LIST SO BUYERS WILL HAVE THE OPTION WHETHER TO BUY OR NOT. I WOULD HAVE NOT BOUGHT A $40,000.00 VIBRATOR!!!

NOX SENSOR POSITION 2 FAILED, SECOND OCCURRENCE, DIESEL VEHICLE ENTERED LIMP MODE. LIMP MODE IS DANGEROUS AND INDICATED DEF FLUID ISSUE. THIS IS A FALSE POSITIVE (AS DESCRIBED IN MANY PLACES ON THE INTERNET AND BY THE DEALER) AS A RESULT OF THE SENSOR FAILURE. FIRST DEALER DID NOT STOCK THE PART, DEALER 178 MILES AWAY HAD THE PART IN STOCK. LIMP MODE IS A CONTINUED DECREASE IN VEHICLE MAX SPEED. WHILE A FAILURE OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IS CRITICAL, IT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO PLACE AN OWNER AT RISK. BY THE TIME I REACHED THE SECOND DEALER, I HAD 4 MILES UNTIL THE VEHICLE WOULD DEGRADE TO 4MPH. I WAS ASKED TO LEAVE WITHOUT EXECUTION OF A CRITICAL STEP, BECAUSE GM DOCUMENTS DID NOT RECOMMEND THAT STEP AS PART OF THE REPAIR. 2 SCENARIOS EXIST, SENSOR FAILURE WITHOUT LIMP MODE AND FAILURE WITH LIMP MODE. IN LIMP MODE THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN LONG ENOUGH TO RESET THE FAILURE AND GM SHOULD INCLUDE THIS IN THE REMEDIATION. INCREMENTALLY, THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE A PROCESS TO RESET LIMP MODE TO ALLOW TRAVEL WITHOUT THIS MODE UNTIL THE NEXT IGNITION CYCLE. ALSO THIS WOULD BE A PREFERABLE SERVICE FROM ONSTAR. THE LIMP MODE IS GREAT FOR THE CASUAL ISSUE BUT CREATES A RISK TO LIFE AND LIMB FOR TRAVELERS AND SHOULD HAVE LIMITED OVER RIDE CAPABILITY. BEING THE FAILURE HAPPENED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, IN A CONSTRUCTION AREA WITH CONCRETE BARRIERS ON EACH SIDE THIS CREATED GREAT STRESS. NO AMERICAN SHOULD OWN A VEHICLE COSTING $41000 THAT LEAVES YOU AT RISK OR STRANDED. THIS IS IRRESPONSIBLE.

OWNED THIS 2017 GMC CANYON FOR 1 YEAR AND 1 MONTH WITH 5000 MILES WHEN IT DEVELOPED AN OIL LEAK. BROUGHT TO DEALER WHO FOUND THE OIL LEAK COMING FROM A "PINHOLE" IN THE OIL COOLANT HOSE. WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS SPECIFIC OIL LEAK ONLINE A FOUND A FORUM POST WITH MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE SINCE THE 2015 MODEL YEAR. OTHER PEOPLE DID NOT NOTICE THE LEAK UNTIL ALL OF THEIR OIL HAD DRAINED AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO SERVICE. I NOTICED IT EARLY ENOUGH THAT I STILL HAD OIL WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT CHECKED OUT. IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS STILL AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE 2018 MODELS TOO, BUT NOT MUCH IS BEING DONE BY GM TO PROACTIVELY FIX THE BAD HOSES.

I HAD 4 LOADS OF MULCH LOADED IN MY 2017 GMC CANYON IN EARLY JUNE 2019. SOME MULCH FELL BETWEEN THE CAB AND CARGO BOX WHERE IT SMOLDERED ON TOP OF THE TRUCK GAS TANK FOR WEEKS UNTIL IT MELTED TUBES PROMPTING ONSTAR TO SEND ME TWO EMAILS 6-27-19 AND 6-29-19 TO SEE MY GMC DEALER WITHIN 7 DAYS FOR "AN ISSUE WITH THE EMISSION SYSTEM". THE DEALER IGNORED MY FIRST VISIT AND MAY HAVE IGNORED THE SECOND BUT NOW THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO PUMP GASOLINE DUE TO A MELTED TUBE AND OTHER PARTS ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. I DISCOVERED THAT THE GAP THAT ALL PICKUP TRUCK HAVE, HAD NOTHING TO DIRECT MULCH AWAY FROM THE FUEL TANK. IF I HAD ANY IDEA THIS WAS HAPPENING I WOULD HAVE COVERED THE GAP WITH A TARP WHILE HAVING MULCH DUMPED IN. I FEEL VERY LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. MY WIFE AND I TOOK A LONG DRIVE AND THE TRUCK THEN PARKED IN OUR ATTACHED GARAGE WHILE WE WATCHED TV A FEW FEET AWAY. I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER IF THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED OR HAVE MANY BEEN KILLED IN MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSIONS THAT DESTROYED THE EVIDENCE. *JS

IT WAS A COLD DRY MORNING, WARMED TRUCK UP FOR @ 10 MIN AND THEN DROVE @ 30 MINS. SHUT TRUCK OFF FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS. STARTED TRUCK AND LET IT WARM UP FOR @ 10 MINUTES AS USUAL. WHEN I STARTED TO DRIVE AND NOTICED STEERING WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE. NOTICED WARNING ON DASH THAT STATED SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE CAREFULLY. CALLED LOCAL DEALER TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT. MILES ON TRUCK 1800.

2017 GMC CANYON EQUIPPED WITH DIESEL ENGINE WILL SPORADICALLY SHUT-OFF WHILE OPERATING WHEN DRIVING WITH A TANK THAT IS LESS THAN 1/4 FULL. ON 1/31/19 (ODOMETER ~14200 MILES) VEHICLE WAS DRIVING FINE WITH AN AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE OF ROUGHLY 0F, FUEL TANK AT 1/3, WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN THE ENGINE DIED IN TRAFFIC WITH NO WARNING. VEHICLE THEN NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AT WHICH POINT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. AGAIN ON 3/4/19 (ODOMETER ~15100 MILES) VEHICLE WAS DRIVING FINE WHEN THE DASH LIT UP WITH MULTIPLE CODES AND TRUCK WENT INTO REDUCED POWER MODE, AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE 10F GAS TANK AT 1/8TH. GOT OUT OF TRUCK AND IT SMELLED LIKE IT WAS ON FIRE. CALLED TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. VEHICLE KEPT FOR MULTIPLE DAYS AT DEALERSHIP, DEALER WORKED WITH GM TO IDENTIFY AN ISSUE AND NO FIX WAS FOUND. DEALER CALLED TO INSTRUCT ME TO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 1/4 TANK DURING WINTER AND ALSO MENTIONED THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH A FEW OTHER CANYON AND TERRAIN DIESEL MODELS. GM NEEDS TO FIND A FIX FOR THIS! IT IS TOTALLY UNSAFE AND UNACCEPTABLE TO HAVE A TRUCK THAT WILL UNEXPECTEDLY LOOSE TOTAL POWER WHEN DRIVING DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW IN THEIR SYSTEMS.

3/11/2019

TRUCK STALLS AS IF IN NEUTRAL AFTER STARTING. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE TO LET THIS TRUCK RUN FOR T LEAST 10 MINUTES OR MORE BEFORE I CAN TAKE OFF. IF I START THE TRUCK AND PUT IT IN DRIVE ANY SOONER, TRUCK WON'T MOVE. ACTUALLY, IT RUNS THEN SEND TO SLAM (VERY HARD JERK) INTO DRIVE, STUDDERS, THEN FUNCTIONS NORMAL. I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER AND THEY SAY THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE TRUCKS. I ALSO WAS TOLD GM PUT A STATEMENT OUT ABOUT THESE COMPLAINTS AND SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX, IN SO MANY WORDS. DEALER SAY IT WILL GO AWAY. I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE JULY 4 2019 AND STILL HAPPENING ALMOST EVERYDAY.

ON 10/07/2018 I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHICH TOTALED MY VEHICLE . IT WAS A LEFT TURN ACCIDENT I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AND THE IMPACT WAS FRONT AND CENTER OF MY VEHICLE. DAMAGE WAS OVER $22,000.00 I SUSTAINED A MINOR INJURY BACK AND NECK PAIN AND RECENTLY HAD SURGERY FOR A HERNIA WHICH I HAD 10 YEARS PRIOR , AFTER THE ACCIDENT IT BECAME PAINFUL . I AM 55 YEARS OLD AND THAT TYPE OF VIOLENT IMPACT COULD HAVE BEEN REDUCED IF THE AIRBAG(S) DEPLOYED PROPERLY. I PURCHASED A NEW 2017 VEHICLE ALL SYSTEMS AND COMPONENTS SHOULD HAVE WORKED. ON THE DATE OF THE ACCIDENT MY VEHICLE HAD JUST OVER 6400 MILES ON IT. I SUBMITTED A CLAIM TO GM OR ESIS (LISA ROZELLE) 91800 888-0164 AND THEIR RESPONSE , I QUOTE " AT THIS TIME, BASED ON ALL DOCUMENTATION RECEIVED AND REVIEWED ESIS ON BEHALF OF GENERAL MOTORS LLC , WILL NOT BE IN A POSITION TO HONOR YOUR REQUEST FOR DAMAGES" . I SENT 26 PICTURES , THE TOTAL LOSS WORK SHEET AND THE POLICE REPORT. I ALSO INFORMED THEM OF MY INJURY. NO ONE FROM GM OR ESIS EVER CAME OUT TO LOOK AT MY VEHICLE OR EXAMINE THE BLACK BOX. THEY BASICALLY JUST BLEW ME OFF. I WILL ATTACH A FEW PHOTOS FOR NHTSA TOO REVIEW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION TO THIS MATTER.

WE HAVE A 2017 GMC CANYON DIESEL WITH 56570 MILES ON IT. WHILE WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET (IT WAS RAINING) GOING ABOUT 30 MILES AN HOUR AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE "SERVICE STABILITRAK" CENSOR CAME ON AM IT INSTANTLY PUT THE BRAKE ON. WE TURNED THE TRUCK ON AND OFF. OVER AND OVER LETTING IT SIT FOR MORE THAT A MINUTE COMPLETELY AND STILL NOTHING....WE WERE DOWN THE STREET FROM OUR HOUSE AND MY HUSBAND HAD TO PUSH IT HOME. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN SUCH A DANGEROUS SITUATION 😳 THERE HAPPENED TO BE NO ONE BEHIND US BUT IT WAS SO ABRUPT THAT IF WE DID THEY MOST DEFINITELY WOULDN'T HAVE HAD TIME TO STOP AND CRASHED RIGHT INTO US. I WILL BE CALLING GMC IN THE MORNING BUT WE WERE DEFINITELY GRATEFUL WE MADE IT HOME SAFELY THOUGH PUSHING A TRUCK THROUGH THE RAIN UP HILL WAS NOT FUN FOR MY HUSBAND. WE HAVE READ UP ON THIS AND WAS COMPLETELY SURPRISED HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. YOU DEFINITELY SHOULD HAVE SOMETHING PUT OUT FOR THIS LETTING PEOPLE KNOW....THIS IS CRAZY GM HAS EITHER BASICALLY IGNORED THIS OR SIMPLY DOES NOT CARE FOR SAFETY. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY TRUCK BUT THIS TRULY DISAPPOINTS ME I HOPE WE ARE NOT PUT IN THE SAME SITUATION AS ALL THESE OTHER FOLKS WHO WERE PUT THROUGH THE RINGER WITH NO RESULT FOR THIS ISSUE!

Windshield defrost failed when HVAC Module Temp Door failed similarly to failures in 2015 and 2016 year models. GMC confirmed and repaired the 2015 and 2016 model years; but, has so far refused to acknowledge or repair my 2017 model; even though, from information available to me, it is the same part with the same problem. The dealership quoted me $2,500 for repairs.

THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL IS BEGINNING TO MADE A NOISE WHILE MOVING DOWN THE ROAD, YOU CANNOT HEAR IT FROM THE INSIDE THE VEHICLE, YOU NEED TO BE ON THE OUTSIDE WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

11/4/2020

TRANSMISSION CONTINUALLY HAS ISSUES WITH THE FIRST TO SECOND GEAR CHANGE, SHUDDERS AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHEN DECELERATING, AND PRODUCES A LOUD 'CLUNK' NOISE WHEN WHEN REVERSE GEAR IS ENGAGED. IN ADDITION TO THE ' CLUNK', THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO A RAPID MOVEMENT AS THE REVERSE GEAR IS ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP IN ORDER TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE HOWEVER, I HAVE BEEN TURNED AWAY FOR REPAIRS AS THEY CLAIM IT IS A CHARACTERISTIC TRAIT OF THE 8L90 ( 8 SPEED) TRANSMISSION. THE TSB OF CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO THE MOBIL1 DID TEMPORARILY MASK THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE HAS RETURNED AND WORSENED AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY PEOPLE. ON TO THE SUSPENSION, MY VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE ' ALL-TERRAIN' SUSPENSION PACKAGE. MY VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO A VERY LOUD SUSPENSION ' SQUEAK' ALONG WITH A POOR RIDE.

This is the 2nd time this has happened. The 1st time making a left onto route 23 from route 296 in Windham NY. Almost got T-Boned. Stalled wouldn't start. Waited 5 minutes and it started again. Ran rough then died again thankfully in a more opportune spot. MY car randomly & without warning loses all power and electric and shuts down. The 1st time I had it towed to Matthews GMC (where I purchased 4 pick ups) and they stated it was a NOX sensor and repaired it. Saturday this happened again while driving at 55 MPH and stalled on a blind curve (very scary). I left a complaint on this website to hopefully prevent a fatality. I thought I would recieve a response from you the NTSB but didn't. I went online and noticed there a a number of folks that had the same problem. Do you wait for fatalities before action is taken??

The contact owns a 2017 GMC Canyon. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the temperature gauge would not operate and the vehicle would not properly accelerate while pressing the accelerator pedal. Also while operating the vehicle the contact had become ill with headaches and dizziness which required medical attention. Upon inspection, it was discovered that a hair-like fiber was present coming from the exhaust pipes. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who informed that the temperature gauge and exhaust system was faulty and needed to be replaced. The hair-like fibers were not identified. The contact was concerned that the hair-like fibers had clogged the exhaust system causing carbon monoxide to enter the cabin of the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was 52,000.

9/13/2022

The contact owns a 2017 GMC Canon. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated along with the following displayed message "ISSUE WITH EXHAUST SYSTEM REDUCE ENGINE POWER TAKE TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY", as the vehicle slowed down drastically not allowing the driver to accelerate over 20 MPH. The contact stated that the vehicle was towed to the dealer where the failure was diagnosed as the diesel particulate filter would not complete a burn. A manual regeneration was completed. The contact stated that the failure recurred after 2,500 miles in November 2022 and the vehicle was taken to the dealer, Kelley Buick GMC (255 W Van Fleet Dr, Bartow, FL 33830) where another manual regeneration was completed. The contact stated that the dealer informed him that if the failure reoccurred, he would need to purchase a filter for $2,000. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to inform when a burn was needed as other diesel vehicles were equipped with the burn alert system along with a switch to complete the burn. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and stated there were no recalls for the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.

there seems to be electrical issue. the fan won't stop running even when shut off. the thermostat stop working with pretty low milage along with the tire sensors. Fixed the previous issues. Furthermore, while driving the vehicle stop working and had to use the momentum to park on the side of the road causing a unexpected break down. The vehicle won't start. This again seems electrical and the dealership want to charge for this. The vehicle is damaged since the manufacture and huge safety issue. Please urge to get a recall for all this items since it seems immersive expensive and unsafe to have to repair all this issues.
