2004 GMC Canyon Brakes Problems

“For over 1 year now my 2004 g<c Canyon has had intermittent brake problems. The ABS brake sensors are bad just like on the full size trucks. I am dissapointed that this model is not included in the recall for ABS brakes. My brakes lock up when first used then when they get warmed up the seem to work better although still grab very hard.”

“While driving the ABS system will begin to engage, sometimes preventing me from stopping normally. After a few minutes of the ABS engaging I will get a ABS fault reading on my dash. The truck will then brake normally.”

“Reference recalls on report receipt date: apr 27, 2006 NHTSA campaign number: 06v139000 component(s): exterior lighting report receipt date: jul 29, 2009 NHTSA campaign number: 09v310000 component(s): exterior lighting my 2004 Gmc Canyon brake light went out on me on 8/8/2013. The brake light out was a safety concern for tailgaters. So I took to mark christopher Gmc dealer, ontario ca for repair because of two same recalls on the vehicle plus transmission oil change. Original estimation of cost was 305. …”

“I purchased 2004 Gmc Canyon used from dealership. I took vehicle home and within a couple days the ABS light came on and would not turn off. I took vehicle back into the dealership and they looked at it and returned the vehicle to me. They said if it comes back on to let them know. Within a week while driving down the road the ABS light came back on and stayed on. Took vehicle back in and they looked at the brakes and found something on them. They removed the gunk as they said and said it was a recall and was no charge for me. I have not found anything about a recall due to the ABS staying on.”

“Brake problems-pulsating brakes, rotors and drums have been resurfaced and replaced numerous times within 15 months and 12,000 miles. The problem has still not been resolved.”
