problem #2

Jul 012009

Canyon 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 30,000 miles
The contact owns a 2006 GMC Canyon. The contact attempted to start the vehicle but it would not start. The contact was able to start the vehicle within approximately fifteen minutes. The contact stated whenever it was raining or snowing the failure would occur. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technicians were unable to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not available. There was a recall under NHTSA campaign id number: 09V154000 (fuel system, gasoline) that was similar to the failure experienced but included the GMC Canyon but not the 2007 model. The approximate failure mileage was 30,000. Updated 01/10/12 updated 01/27/17

Canyon 4WD 5-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 31 miles
I have a 2006 Canyon and in the last year I have had to replace tail lights, three sterios,4X4 buttons, windows, wiring has been repaired severial times, the truck is excessivly hard on gass, and as soon as my inline five cylinder engine hit 31.000 km I had to take it back to the dealer once again, this time for a new engine. Apparently there only good for thirty thousand and then need to be replaced. Hard to believe this truck cost me almost forty thousand dallors. Dont get what you pay for with a GM.my next truck will be a Toyota and this Canyon has convinced me to never buy another GM product again and hopfully I can save some people from making the same mistake I did.
