2006 GMC Canyon Fuel system Problems

“I bought this 2006 Gmc Canyon in december of 2011. Yet they mysteriously couldn't give me tags for it until april 2012. They knew there was an on going recall for bad valve seats and seals and sold the truck to me anyway. I immediately began having engine problems as soon as I got it and had the truck back to motor city Gmc here in bakersfield, ca. Three times under the limited 10,000 mile warranty missing three day's of work each time. …”

“The 2.9 4 cyl. Engine in my 06 Gmc Canyon dies intermittently. When it does, reduced power displays in the driver info center and the truck will not restart. The power is cut to the starter and fuel pump but all accessories still function properly. After a few minutes the system seems to reset and the truck will start and operate normally. Until the next time it decides to go out. I would say that under no circumstance should an engine die unexpectedly on the highway or at a red light and not allow restart for several minutes. This is extremely dangerous.”

“I have a 2006 Canyon and in the last year I have had to replace tail lights,three sterios,4x4 buttons,windows,wiring has been repaired severial times,the truck is excessivly hard on gass,and as soon as my inline five cylinder engine hit 31.000 km I had to take it back to the dealer once again ,this time for a new engine. Apparently there only good for thirty thousand and then need to be replaced. Hard to believe this truck cost me almost forty thousand dallors. …”
