“The heating blend door broke making the heater unusable. I cant defrost/defog my windows to see in February in New york...its a very common problem with this vehicle and the cost to repair is over 3000”
NHTSA complaint #11718200, filed 2026-02“The heating cooling blend door broke as it's made of cheap plastic. Doing research on this defect it's very common ...in this year vehicle as well as in the gmc canyon...it's a manufacturer defect. And makes it impossible to defrost/defog your windshield without fixing it...and average cost to replace is 1700.00- 2300.00...due to labor cost...part itself only costs around 100.00....that's an astronomical amount of money to fix something...that is a defect and you can't safely drive without it!”
