While we were driving down the street (it was raining) going about 30 miles an hour and all of the sudden the service stabilitrak censor came on am it instantly put the brake on.

NHTSA complaint #11586124, filed 2024-04“I was driving down the road when all of a sudden I received a warning “power steering” drive with care and something called “stabilitrack” my power steering had shut off. I was driving down a highway going about 65 around Walker lake no with turns. Coming around one of the turns the power steering kicked back on and I almost jerked off the road.

NHTSA complaint #11512092, filed 2023-03“My key frequently gets suck in the ignition. During this event, I cannot remove the key and the vehicle will NOT shut down electrically (motor turns off). I have had it in the dealer shop 3 times for this same issue. I have had the key lodged at times for several hours which may require battery assistance. The repairs were made at Ideal buick GMC in Frederick, Maryland but the problem persists. I have read online blogs describing this problem by other owners. What can I expect as far as actually resolving this issue?”
NHTSA complaint #11454376, filed 2022-02“Fuel/Emissions: I have a 2017 GMC Canyon; I am not able to fuel the truck without the use of a funnel. As soon as I start fueling, it shuts off and spits gas on my clothes. When I do use the funnel, it takes me almost 20 minutes to fuel the truck. I have read in forums that it is a common occurrence with the 2017 Colorado and Canyons. I have tried to explain to the dealer that it may have a clogged evap canister. The dealership was dismissive and said it was a purge valve. The dealership changed the valve but failed to fix the issue. …”
