Canyon SLE V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 4,500 miles

BOUGHT THIS NEW CANYON IN 2016. VEHICLE HAD 3200 ON IT. HAVE HAD TROUBLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT. TOOK IT TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND FINALLY IN FEB. THEY TOLD ME THE COMPUTER SHOWED IT HAD MISFIRED ON #3 CYLINDER TWICE. ON MARCH 13TH I TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER AFTER THEY TOLD ME A ENGINEER WAS COMING TO CHECK IT OUT. SERVICE MGR. CALLED ME WEDNESDAY AND TOLD ME THE ENGINEER CONTACTED THE TAC GROUP AND THEY SUGGESTED REPLACING A PART WHICH THEY DID BUT TRUCK STILL HAS ISSUES. DEALER STILL HAS TRUCK. I KNOW THIS TRUCK WOULD QUALIFY AS A LEMON WHICH I HOPE TO PURSUE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL HEATED CONVERSATIONS WITH SOME PEOPLE AT THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING THEY HAVE ASKED ME TO DO AND I STILL GOT A PIECE OF CRAP FOR A TRUCK, WHICH COST A GOOD DEAL OF MONEY. BAD THING IS, I HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO MENTION TO THEM ABOUT THE HESITANT TRANSMISSION, LOL. WHAT A JOKE. THANK GOOD IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. UNLESS THINGS GET BETTER THIS WILL BE MY LAST GMC PRODUCT.

Update from Mar 26, 2017: GOT TRUCK BACK LAST WEEK AFTER DEALER WORKING ON IT FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS. THEY REPLACED THE INJECTORS, CLEANED FUEL LINE OUT AND DROPPED FUEL TANK AND CLEANED IT OUT. HAVE HAD TRUCK BACK FOR 3 DAYS NOW. 2ND DAY I FELT SOME OF THE SAME OLD PROBLEM BUT SINCE I HAVEN'T FELT ENGINE STALLING BUT A FEW INSTANCES. WILL KEEP EYE ON PROBLEM FOR A WEEK AND HOPE IT IS FINALLY FIXED. IF NOT THEN I WILL CONTACT DEALERSHIP AGAIN.

Canyon SLT V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 300 miles

engine seems to miss during light acceleration

Immediately after purchasing the truck, it seems to be missing during light acceleration or cruising. Have tried different brands of gasoline and different octane ratings. The higher octane seems to help a bit but shouldn't have to pay extra. Dealer says if there is no light on, nothing is wrong.
