Canyon

  • 28,900 miles
The brake lights and cruise control have suddenly stopped working - see nthsa bulletin 06V139000. As evidence of a systemic problem with GMC Canyon vehicles. Was not even aware brake lights were out until I came across the NHTSA bulletin. Additionally, the electronically activated 4 wheel drive has sporatically started trying to engage when the vehicle is first beginning to move from a dead stop. This started a month ago when I first noticed the cruise control would not work. Discovered the brake lights were not coming on last night 12/16/16. Checked bulbs and fuses and that is not the problem. Believe there is an underlying issue likely related to NHTSA bulletin 06V139000.
