2017 GMC Canyon Engine Problems

“Gm had a recall on the 3.6 lgz equipped in trucks in canada. Cold weather caused oil pump to over pressurizing of oil and damage to oil cooler and lines. Leaking oil in to engine compartment and on roadway. This has happened to me twice now once in march of 2018 and now again in november 2019. Doing research this is a common complaint. I would like national highway traffic safety department to look into this an do similar recall as canada. Here in minnesota it gets as cold or colder than canada.”

“Vehicle stalled when I was making a left turn onto route 23 from route 296 in windham ny. Car shuttered and stalled. Almost got t-boned by a semi.

Disconnected the battery to clear the check engine light. Any suggestions?”

“Owned this 2017 Gmc Canyon for 1 year and 1 month with 5000 miles when it developed an oil leak. Brought to dealer who found the oil leak coming from a pinhole in the oil coolant hose. When I researched this specific oil leak online a found a forum post with many other people who have had this same issue since the 2015 model year. Other people did not notice the leak until all of their oil had drained and had to be towed to service. I noticed it early enough that I still had oil when I arrived at the dealership to get it checked out. …”

“Nox sensor position 2 failed, second occurrence, diesel vehicle entered limp mode. Limp mode is dangerous and indicated def fluid issue. This is a false positive (as described in many places on the internet and by the dealer) as a result of the sensor failure. First dealer did not stock the part, dealer 178 miles away had the part in stock. Limp mode is a continued decrease in vehicle max speed. While a failure of the exhaust system is critical, it should not be allowed to place an owner at risk. By the time I reached the second dealer, I had 4 miles until the vehicle would degrade to 4mph. …”
