Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Oil coolant line that is not viewable has rusted out and oil is leaking from my car, almost causing engine damage. I did not receive an oil low warning until I was out of oil. No indications the oil was leaking and even with consistent oil changes it was unable to be seen until there was a problem. I am unsure how long this has been happening since it was a slow leak and I didn't get any alerts until all my oil was gone. …”
NHTSA complaint #11268136, filed 2019-10, 43,000 miles“The heater and defroster systems in my new 2015 Gmc Canyon produce only cold air, regardless of the settings. This creates a fog film on the inside of the windshield making the Canyon inoperable due to lack of visibility. The Gmc dealer has already replaced several heater/defroster , but the new system continues to fail. The lack of heat problem occurs at all times (I.e. Manual key start, remote start, cold engine start, warm engine start, etc.)”

NHTSA complaint #10779250, filed 2015-10, 5,000 miles“Several times in the past 2 years, my 2015 Gmc Canyon has stalled when either coming to a stop or trying to start from a stop. Most times it shudders while stopping then the engine shuts down. 2 times I thought that I was safe from stall because it remained running after the shudder but when I stepped on the gas to go it stalled. The last time, about a week ago, it happened while trying to cross a busy intersection. Causing me to panic, throw it into neutral and start, with barely enough time to throw it into gear and get out of the way of oncoming traffic. …”
