“My 215 extended cab, long bed Gmc Canyon slt has 13,000 miles and no accidents or hard driving (almost exclusively driven on the road) with some short hauling of loads locally (1500 lbs or less). No major work has been done to the engine or transmission. Today (9 oct 17), I was taking a short drive to home depot from my house (~6 mi), almost immediately I began to smell a strong odor of gasoline (travelled half a block)...I had just driven the truck on friday to work and smelled no odor, so I thought it must be a vehicle in front of me. …”
NHTSA complaint #11032610, filed 2017-10, 13,000 miles“The truck falls on it's face when accelerating after slowing down. The dealership says nothing is wrong. This is a dangerous situation. I have talked with other Canyon owners and they have the same problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10991537, filed 2017-05, 24,150 miles“Stabiltrak system stops working randomly all the time. It is seemingly random. It can do it as soon as I crank the truck, but more commonly it happens when I am driving. The ABS also will cause the truck to pull harder in one direction either left or right randomly. I have to put pressure on the steering will in the opposite direction to keep the vehicle in the middle of the lane. Stabiltrak sensor 1st went off around October 2023. It typically doesn't come back on immediately if I power cycle the truck. …”
