2017 GMC Canyon Problems

The contact owns a 2017 GMC Canyon. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle shuddered abnormally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, and the engine oil was changed several times, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who replaced the serial gateway module, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was then taken to a transmission specialist, who determined that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced; however, the transmission was on backorder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 96,000.

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.

Catastrophic engine failure. Piston #1 damage after a fuel injector issue. The truck just hit 100k miles. This left my husband stranded over an hour away. No check engine light or warning other than a loud pop and smoke. No warranty on the truck, I’ve been quoted $12k for a new engine. I have read MULTIPLE forums (one thread of 77 posts) of the same thing/similar thing happening.

The transmission shudders terribly. It is available for inspection. It is unsafe because while in traffic situations, it doesn't get up to speed correctly. It is as if it can't find the gear, it feels like it is about to stall. It is not dependable to stay at a speed, or increase speed. The dealership said that changing the transmission fluid would help, and it did for a while. The problem came back, we had the fluid changed again. The problem came right back again.

Check engine light came on, had it looked into, the radiator active shutter grille was stuck and wouldn't close. It had to be replaced. No causation or incident to have caused this. Bottomline, it had to be replaced to avoid further damage and from becoming a safety issue.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 GMC CANYON. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER CRAIN BUICK GMC OF CONWAY (710 S. AMITY RD, CONWAY, AR 72032, (501) 436-4781) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE STEERING GEAR TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 64,564.*DT

The contact owns a 2017 GMC Canyon. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH, the check engine warning illuminated. The vehicle was diagnosed, and the diagnosis was that that evaporative emission control system purge control had malfunctioned. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. On another occasion, the contact noticed that the air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was diagnosed, and the diagnosis was that the front driver side air bag had malfunctioned. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 25,000.

Fuel/Emissions: I have a 2017 GMC Canyon; I am not able to fuel the truck without the use of a funnel. As soon as I start fueling, it shuts off and "spits gas" on my clothes. When I do use the funnel, it takes me almost 20 minutes to fuel the truck. I have read in forums that it is a common occurrence with the 2017 Colorado and Canyons. I have tried to explain to the dealer that it may have a clogged evap canister. The dealership was dismissive and said it was a purge valve. The dealership changed the valve but failed to fix the issue. I returned to let them know and was told it would be days before anyone would look at the vehicle even though I did call and was told to bring it. Two things, evap canister is part of the emissions system and is to cut down on the emissions, and secondly, the gas gets everywhere when it "spits" it out because the vapers have no where to go. This is the only vehicle my wife and I have and is a good truck. There are plenty of forums such as coloradofans.com on line where others have the same issue.

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 ABS and traction control warning lights illuminated, and the message " Check Trailer Brakes” was displayed. While driving at an undisclosed speed, the braking system randomly activated, causing the vehicle to abruptly decelerate. On several occasions while depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle failed to immediately stop, causing the braking distance to be extended by approximately 8 feet. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the ABS module was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was 85,000.

Constantly getting a message and beeping to service my trailer brake system while in park and driving. I’ve never used this before for towing any trailers or anything. This message and beeping cause a distraction and i find it to be dangerous. And the fact I’ve never used this is quite annoying.

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.

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.

PASSENGER REAR DEFROST NOT WORKING ON THAT 1/3 OF THE REAR WINDOW

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

2017 GMC CANYON. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION ISSUE. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER INITIALLY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER LEFT WITH THE DEALER TO ATTEMPT TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE POWER STEERING, TRACTION CONTROL, AND STABILITY MESSAGES APPEARED. *JS

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.

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.

2017 GMC CANYON. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TRANSMISSION ISSUES. THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING AND BUCKING. OCCASIONALLY, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT YET DISCOVERED A FIX.
