2015 GMC Canyon Complaint Log

SEVERAL TIMES OVER PAST MONTH AND TIME SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE . THE POWER STEERING MODULE WILL GO OUT DURING DRIVING. WHEN THIS HAPPENS POWER STEERING IS LOST AND I RECEIVE WARNING CHIME AND AM NOT ABLE TO STEER PROPERLY. I AM VERY CONCERNED THIS COULD CAUSE A CRASH. GM IS OFFERING NO HELP BECAUSE MY VEHICLE VIN DOES NOT SHOW UP UNDER THE RECALL.

WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE POWER STEERING WAS LOST MAKING THE VEHICLE HARD TO OPERATE AND STEER. LOOKING BACK ON THE RECORDS, ON 09/21/2015 A SERVICE BULLETIN CAME OUT, "LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST EXPIRES WITH BASE WARRANTY" ON 10/28/2015 FIELD ACTION RECALL, POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMING WITH SPS. DEALER STATES $1450 TO FIX. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. CALLED GM, THEY SAID THAT THIS IS NO LONGER COVERED. THIS IS A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. 10

POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK INTERMITTENTLY GO OUT. HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AND ALSO WHILE TURNING. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC NEARBY WHILE TURNING. IT DOES SO WITHOUT WARNING AND WILL RESET AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF (SOMETIMES TAKES MORE THAN ONE TRY). I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT ONLY ON VEHICLES BUILT BETWEEN CERTAIN DATES. UNFORTUNATELY MY VEHICLE FALLS OUTSIDE THE RECALL PARAMETERS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT GMC NEEDS TO ADDRESS

OIL COOLER LINES SUBSTANTIAL LEAK LOST LARGE AMOUNT OF OIL NO WARNINGS, LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AFTER RECEIVING CALL THAT TRUCK LEAKED OIL ON FATHERS DRIVEWAY. CHECKED DIPSTICK BEFORE HAVING TOWED FOR REPAIR AND IT WAS DRY. IF FAILURE WERE TO OCCUR ON HIGHWAY COULD RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF ENGINE LEADING TO ACCIDENT.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. FREQUENCY OF LOSS IS INCREASING. EXPERIENCED THIS EFFECT 6 TO 10 TIMES IN LAST 3 MONTHS. CAN HAPPEN IN TOWN OR INTERSTATE DRIVING. DEALER SAYS NO RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR UNIT.

WHILE TURNING OFF OF STATE RD. ONTO A COUNTY RD. THE POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TURN AND I ALMOST RAN OFF THE ROAD IF I HAD NOT HAD GOOD UPPER BODY STRENGTH I WOULD HAVE CRASHED. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO MY HOME "ABOUT 2 BLOCKS" I TRIED TURNING OFF THE IGNITION TO SEE IF IT WOULD RESET BUT IT WOULD NOT. I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLE FOR A SHORT TIME THEN RECONNECTED IT AND IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY SAID THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEMS AND THEY REPLACE RACK AND PINION SYSTEM AT A COST OF ABOUT $1200.00 AND SAID THERE WAS NO ACTIVE RECALL SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE BILL. AFTER DOING MORE RESEARCH ONLINE THERE HAS BEEN ALOT OF THESE FAILURES AND I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED BUT IT STARTED WORKING AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION OFF AND BACK ON. I WAS NOT ON THE ROAD WHEN IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME AND I DID NOT REPORT IT TO THE DEALER I THOUGHT I WAS JUST BA FLUKE AND THAT WAS 3 OR 4 MONTHS AGO. THANK YOU PHILLIP MOSIER

WHILE BEING IN A STATIONARY POSITION, MY VEHICLE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. IF THE KEY IS INSERTED AND IMMEDIATELY ATTEMPTED TO BE REMOVED, IT WILL COME OUT WITH NO ISSUES. HOWEVER, IF THE KEY IS INSERTED AND THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN, THE KEY WILL BE STUCK IN THE ACCESSORY 'ACC' POSITION. THE KEY WILL REMAIN STUCK FOR OVER 10-15 MINUTES UNTIL IT CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION. (THE LONGEST WAIT TIME WAS 30 MINUTES) THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED POTENTIAL THEFT FOR OUR TRUCK AND THREAT TO OUR OWN SAFETY. IT HAS ALSO CAUSED THE VEHICLE BATTERY TO COMPLETELY DIE, DUE TO THE KEYS BEING STUCK IN THE ACC POSITION.

TRUCK LOSES STEERING ASSIST WITHOUT WARNING GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT ANY SPEED

POWER STEERING QUIT WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON OHIO TURNPIKE. SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN LAST 3 WEEKS. AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF, THE POWER STEERING RETURNS TO WORKING ORDER. DANGEROUS SITUATION. VEHICLE WAS RECALLED IN 2015 FOR THE SAME SITUATION.

SERVICE 4WD MESSAGE AGAIN APPEARS. WHEN DRIVING AND SWITCHING INTO 4WD RECEIVED THIS MESSAGE. THIRD TIME, NEEDS "REPROGRAMMING" . FILED COMPLAINT WITH GM ABOUT A DESIGN FLAW AND NO SATISFACTION.

I WAS MAKING A RIGHT-HAND TURN IN TOWN WHEN THE POWER STEERING QUIT ALMOST HITTING A CAR THAT WAS SITTING AT THE INTERSECTION. I KEPT DRIVING LIKE A LOG WAGON UNTIL I GOT HOME. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND THEN BACK ON WHICH SEEMED TO UNLOCK THE STEERING WHEEL. BUT NOW EVERY TIME I DRIVE THIS TRUCK IT AVERAGES AT LEAST 2 TO 3 TIME SHUTTING THE STEERING DOWN. IT STARTED AT 34500 MILES. I CALLED EVERYONE I CAN THINK OF TO SEE IF THEY KNOW WHAT IT TAKES TO FIX IT. NO LUCK.

MY VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING WHILE IN MOTION. APPROXIMATE SPEED WAS 65MPH. ICONS ON THE DASH LIT UP. I HAD LITTLE TO NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. I NEARLY CRASHED INTO SEVERAL CARS AROUND ME. I PULLED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD, TURNED ALL POWER OFF, AND STARTED THE ENGINE AFTER A FEW MINUTES. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR HOME WITHOUT ANY FURTHER PROBLEMS.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY ABOUT 45MPH AND LOST POWER STEERING, WHICH MADE TRUCK HARD TO CONTROL AND STEER. WARNING LIGHT CHECK STEERING STABILIZER AND DRIVE WITH CAUTION CAME ON! ONCE I GOT TO DESTINATION TURNED TRUCK OFF FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES AND IT WENT BACK TO NORMAL!

THE TOUCH SCREEN DISPLAY HAS BECOME ERRATIC OR UNRESPONSIVE. SOMETIMES BUTTONS WILL BEGIN CLICKING ON THEIR OWN WHILE DRIVING. SUDDENLY THE DISPLAY CHANGES OR RADIO STATIONS WILL CHANGE. OTHER TIMES, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PRESS A BUTTON ON THE TOUCH SCREEN, THE SCREEN IS UNRESPONSIVE. ALL OF THIS FORCES THE DRIVER'S EYES OFF OF THE ROAD AND CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. ACCORDING TO MULTIPLE GMC CANYON AND CHEVY COLORADO FORUMS, THIS IS A PROMINENT ISSUE IN THE 2015-2018 MODEL YEARS AND THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE TOUCHSCREEN, WHICH IS ~$1000 AT DEALER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SERVICE POWER STEERING AND SERVICE STABILI-TRAK MESSAGES APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHILE THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING FUNCTIONALITY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON RESTART OF THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING FUNCTION RETURNED AND THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO LIBERTY GMC (8660 W. BELL RD, PEORIA, AZ 85382) WHERE THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE OR DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT LINKED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 50 MPH AND, WITHOUT WARNING, THE POWER STEERING FAILED. AFTER THE FAILURE, WARNINGS APPEARED TELLING ME TO HAVE POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK SERVICED.THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO PRIOR ISSUES. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS HAD IS HAPPENED IN THE SHARP CURVE OR TURN AS THE ONLY EASY WAY TO STEER THIS TRUCK WITHOUT POWER STEERING IS GOING STRAIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GET THE TRUCK HOME, BUT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. TOOK TRUCK TO THE GM DEALER AND THEY REPORT THAT THE "STEERING GEARBOX LOST COMMUNICATION WITH THE POWER STEERING MODULE. A FAILED STEERING ASSEMBLY." AFTER RESEARCHING AND FINDING THAT THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2015 CANYON AND COLORADO, I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF A STEERING RECALL AND THAT IT WILL BE $2,300 TO FIX IT. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 33,000 MILES ON IT AND IS WELL KEPT. TO ME, THIS IS A MANUFACTURER QUALITY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS A GM SAFETY FAILURE AND RECALL. GMS FAILURE TO EXPAND THE RECALL AROUND THE STEERING ISSUES IN THESE VEHICLES IS GOING TO RESULT IN A MAJOR TRAGEDY. AND MANY PEOPLE SEEM TO BE PAYING A LOT OF MONEY TO FIX A KNOWN ISSUE AND FAILURE ON THE PART OF THE MANUFACTURER.

LOST POWER STEERING, POWER STEERING SERVICE MESSAGE, ABS LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, AND "!" LIGHT ALL CAME ON. MATCHES UP TO RECALL INFORMATION AVAILABLE. TOOK IT TO CHEVY, IT'S NOT COVERED, COSTING $400. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED IN THE POWER STEERING RECALL

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE WARNING COMES ON AND I IMMEDIATELY LOSE CONTROL OF STEERING ASSIST PULLING THE STEERING FROM MY HANDS. SECONDS LATER A SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING COMES ON. I CAN PULL OVER AND TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND THE POWER STEERING RETURNS WHEN STARTED. IT CAN CONTINUE WORKING FOR A FEW MINUTES OR A FEW DAYS THERE'S NO PATTERN TO ITS MALFUNCTION. THE RECALL DATE IS JANUARY 6 2015 TO MARCH 19 2015 AND MY TRUCK WAS MANUFACTURED IN APRIL 2015 SO MY TRUCK DOESN'T COME UP IN THE RECALL. BUT I FEEL THEY NOT ONLY MADE A MISTAKE IN THE MANUFACTURING CAUSING THE RECALL BUT THEY MADE A MISTAKE IN THE RECALL WINDOW AND IT SHOULD BE EXTENDED BEYOND MARCH 19TH. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO A DEALER AND THEY HAVE DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS INTERMITTENT STEERING GEAR FAILURE AND ARE CHARGING ME $2339.00 TO FIX WHAT I BELIEVE SHOULD BE PART OF GMS RECALL. I HAVE ATTACHED PHOTOS OF THE DASH WARNINGS AND THE SPEED THAT IT HAPPENED. THIS MALFUNCTION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN IT HAPPENS IN A TURN.

POWER STEERING ASSIST IN THE VEHICLE STOPPED WHILE DRIVING MAKING IT HARD TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE, NO WARNINGS OR PRIOR ISSUES. IT JUST STOPPED AND TO GET IT GOING AGAIN I WOULD HAVE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE, LET IT SIT FOR A FEW THEN START UP AGAIN IN HOPES IT RESET(TEMPORARY FIX). *TR

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR GET HARD TO STEERING SIDE TO SIDE AND A WAINING LIGHT FOR SERVICE COME ON. TRY TO GET SERVICE BUT WHEN THE CAR IS TURN OFF LIGHT COME OFF AND CAN'T BE DETECTED BY THE DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. THE FUEL SYSTEM I CHANGE 3 NEW FUEL CAP AND STILL SHOW TIDE YOU CAP OR THE ENGINE SIGN

HAVE LOST STEERING ASSIST TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK. *TR

POWER STEERING GOES OUT MID DRIVE WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION AND IT DOES NOT FUNCTION AGAIN UNTIL I PULL OVER, TURN THE IGNITION OFF, AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE - THE MECHANICAL POWER STEERING WORKS FINE UNTIL THE SYMPTOMS OCCUR AGAIN. I FIRST ALERTED MY DEALER 2 YEARS AGO AND THEY SAY THAT IT IS NOT THROWING A CODE. *TR

AFTER APPROX 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING, LOSS OF POWER STEERING OCCURS AND VEHICLE RETURNS A POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK ERROR MESSAGE. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES, BOTH WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS AND ALSO WHILE STOPPED. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 26,000 MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING ASSIST WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PREVIOUSLY UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TRUCK LOCKED INTO LIMP MODE SUDDENLY ONE DAY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE TRUCK WAS THEN STUCK IN ONE GEAR. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC IMMEDIATELY WHO REPLACED THE FUSE BOX AFTER FINDING IT BURNT OUT. FAST FORWARD A MONTH LATER, SAME ISSUE OCCURS ON THE ROAD. BOTH ISSUES OCCURRED WHILE ACCELERATING DURING A TURN. TOOK TO MECHANIC AGAIN TO FIND TCM FUSE BURNT OUT AND CODES P0700 AND P2534 PRESENT. MECHANIC REPLACED FUSE AND STRETCHED OUT WIRE BUNDLE TO SEE IF WIRING WAS AN ISSUE. MECHANIC ALSO TOOK THE TRUCK ON A ROAD TEST TO TRY TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE TO NO AVAIL. AS OF NOW THE TRUCK IS WORKING AFTER THE FUSE WAS REPLACED, HOWEVER IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN IN THE FUTURE. *TR

POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING OCCASIONALLY AND RANDOMLY. IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO MAKE TIGHT TURNS IN THIS SITUATION. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES RANDOMLY AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, DIFFERENT WEATHER PATTERNS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY CEASED, AND THE CONTACT LOSS CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CENTRAL BUICK GMC LOCATED AT 2907 E. PARKER RD, JONESBORO AR 72404, TO BE DIAGNOSED WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 118,000.*DT*JB

LOSS OF POWER STEERING. STABILITRAK LIGHTS COMES ON ALONG WITH TRACTION CONTROL. HAS HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE SPEEDS. *TR

MY POWER STEERING/STABILITRAK WILL RANDOMLY "FAIL" I WILL BE DRIVING ALONG AT NORMAL SPEEDS AND AN ALERT MESSAGE WILL POP-UP ON MY DASH THAT SAYS "POWER STEERING FAILURE" AND "STABILITRAK ERROR" AND MY VEHICLE INSTANTLY LOOSES ALL POWER STEERING. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT THE GMC DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE STARTED A CLAIM WITH GENERAL MOTORS. THE ENTIRE REPAIR IS GOING TO COST $2,330 AND GM IS SAYING THEY WILL ONLY COVER $350 OF THE REPAIR, AND I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR COVERING THE REMAINING $1,980. I HAVE SEEN ONLINE WHERE A LOT OF THESE TRUCKS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, I THINK GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

WHILE DRIVING AT 60 MPH THERE WAS A SUDDEN COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE ON A CURVE WHERE I ALMOST WENT HEAD ON INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTROL PANEL LIT UP WITH CHECK POWER STEERING AND STABILTRAC. POWER STEERING WILL COME BACK IF I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES. THIS HAS OCCURED AT LEAST 10 TIMES, AND GMC HASN'T INCLUDED MY VEHICLE IN THE RECALL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS FAULT IN THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURING!!

WHILE DRIVING WITH A PASSENGER I LOSS ALL POWER STEERING AND HAD TO STRUGGLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL AT 45 MPH ON A STATE ROAD . THIS HAS HAPPEN BEFORE AND HAD BEEN ADDRESS AT THE DEALER WAS LEAD TO BELIEVE THAT IT WAS A REPROGRAM . I AM IN FEAR OF DRIVING THIS AND HAVE A UNEXPECTED LOSS OF CONTROL . WILL BE DROPPING IT OFF TONIGHT TO A DEALER AND WILL DEMAND THIS TO BE FIXED .

WHILE DRIVING ACROSS PARKING LOT AT 8 MPH, VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING CONTROL WITHOUT WARNING. ENGINE AND OTHER ELECTRONICS CONTINUED TO OPERATE, HOWEVER VEHICLE POWER STEERING AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. I STOPPED VEHICLE, TURNED OFF IGNITION, AND RESTARTED, POWER STEERING AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS WENT OFF AND VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION. THIS ALSO OCCURRED ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN I WAS GOING ABOUT 10MPH, ALL POWER STEERING ASSIST SUDDENLY DISAPPEARED, AGAIN UPON SHUT DOWN AND RESTART, ALL RETURNED TO NORMAL. I INITIALLY THOUGHT THE ENGINE DIED. VEHICLE HAS 94K MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT, STABILI TRAC WARNING LIGHT AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER, TURNED OFF AND THEN TURNED ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO REICHARD BUICK GMC LOCATED AT (161 SALEM AVE, DAYTON, OH 45406), TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING GEAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

MY POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING AROUND A CURVE AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOP BY APPLYING SIGNIFICANT PHYSICAL FORCE TO THE STEERING WHEEL. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAYED TWO WARNINGS. THE FIRST INDICATED THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM REQUIRED SERVICE AND THE SECOND INDICATED THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM REQUIRED SERVICE. I THEN TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THEN RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE POWER STEERING AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNINGS WERE NO LONGER PRESENT AND THE POWER STEERING WAS AGAIN FUNCTIONAL. I THEN CONTACTED THE DEALER AND ARRANGED FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEMS THE FOLLOWING MORNING. THEIR SERVICE RECORD INDICATED A CODE C0545 (STEERING TORQUE SENSOR CORRUPT) HAD BEEN LOGGED. THEY CLEARED THE ERROR CODE AND INDICATED THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING ELSE WRONG. THE SERVICE RECORD ALSO STATED THAT "IF THE ISSUE REOCCURS, ADVISED ON STEERING GEAR $1800.00". I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE THAT AFTERNOON AND ONCE AGAIN EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH WHILE ON THE WAY HOME. AS BEFORE, I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF ROAD, TURNED OFF THE IGNITION, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING, TWO WARNING LIGHTS LIT UP AND RECEIVED TWO SERVICE MESSAGES ON THE SCREEN, ONE RELATING TO THE POWER STEERING THE OTHER RELATING TO THE STABILITRAK. FORTUNATELY, THE STRETCH OF HIGHWAY WAS A STRAIGHT DRIVE, NO TURNS, AT THE TIME THIS HAPPENED. AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND THEN RESTARTING, THE POWER STEERING RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION AND WOULD WORK FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME, BUT WOULD THEN WOULD STOP WORKING WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 75 MILES THAT I HAVE DRIVEN. THE TRUCK HAS ONLY BEEN DRIVEN A TOTAL OF 54,000 MILES. GIVEN THAT THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, I HAVE STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE. IT IS NOW WITH A GMC DEALER WAITING TO BE REPAIRED. THE SYMPTOMS OF MY PROBLEM SEEM TO BE VERY SIMILAR TO THE ODI INVESTIGATION RQ 19-001 WHEN I SEARCHED FOR GMC CANYON POWER STEERING ISSUES.

LOW SPEED BRAKING BECOMES DIFFICULT AS RESISTANCE IN THE PEDAL MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN IN MOTION AT LOWER SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE ALSO LEAKS FLUID. DEALERSHIP INFORMS ME THE VACUUM PUMP HAS A LEAK WHICH MAY BE CAUSING THIS ISSUE AND THE LEAK. VEHICLE HAS BEEN LEAKING FLUID, AN OIL OR OIL LIKE SUBSTANCE FOR ABOUT 10 MONTHS.

WHILE MAKING A TURN, POWER STEERING WENT OUT, MESSAGE TO SERVICE SYSTEM DISPLAYED ON DASH. STOPPED CAR, STEERING RESET BUT WENT OUT A FEW MINUTES LATER. HAPPEND SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE DAY.

I JUST PURCHASED A USED 2015 GMC CANYON. A DAY AFTER PURCHASING, ON STARTUP, THE DASH HAD A WARNING SAYING "SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE WITH CARE." I COULD NOT DRIVE AT ALL. I COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL TO LEAVE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN. I FEEL LUCKY THAT THIS HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, AND NOT AT HIGHWAY SPEED AS THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY.

THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, STABILITY TRACK LIGHT AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT AT THE TIME AT 65 MPH. IT WAS ABLE 35 DEGREES OUTSIDE.

WHILE DRIVING THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING GOES OUT AND SO DOES 'STABILITRAK.' TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON AGAIN WILL SOME TIMES RESET THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE AND POWER STEERING WILL WORK FINE, BUT THE ISSUE ALWAYS COMES BACK AND SOME TIMES NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU TURN THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON, THE POWER STEERING WILL NOT COME BACK ON. I HAVE PAID TO GET THIS FIXED AT MY LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP, BUT THE SAME PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED AND THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME TO PAY AGAIN FOR A FIX.

DRIVING AT 65MPH ON SUNDAY, 2/9/2020. LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE ON THE 5 FREEWAY. VERY SCARY! LUCKILY NOT MANY CARS AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WAITED A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY AGAIN SINCE THERE WERE NO SIDE ROADS THAT WOULD TAKE ME TO MY DESTINATION. IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I GOT HOME BUT LUCKILY I WAS OFF OF THE FREEWAY AT THE TIME. ON MONDAY, 2/10/2020 IT HAPPENED AGAIN BUT LUCKILY TRAFFIC WAS GOING LESS THAN 30 MPH AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY PULL OFF OF THE 10WEST FREEWAY.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE ON JAN 31, 2020 THE POWER STEERING AND STABILITY CONTROL SHUT OFF WHILE TRAVELING AT 70MPH. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS. I UNDERSTAND GNC DID A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT DID NOT COVER MY VEHICLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH AND WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE POWER STEERING FAULT MESSAGE DISPLAYED IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

I WAS PARKED. WHEN I STARTED THE TRUCK I PUT IT IN REVERSE. WHILE BACKING UP I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE POWER FOR THE BRAKES WAS GONE. I HAD TO SLAM AS HARD AS I COULD TO STOP THE TRUCK. A VERY SCARY SITUATION. I HEARD THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WENT TO THIS WEBSITE TO FIND OUT. IT STATES THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON THIS TRUCK. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. IF GMC PUTS A PRODUCT OUT LIKE THIS THEY SHOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ALL HE SAID TO ME WAS IT DANGEROUS AND IT WOULD COST THIS MUCH TO CHECK IT OUT. NOTHING ABOUT IT WAS A RECALL OR NOT. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS IS ON THEM AS I STILL HAVE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH THE POWER STEERING AND STABILITY CONTROL WENT OUT. THIS RESULTED IN SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED STEERING AND REDUCTION IN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS PASSING A TRACTOR TRAILER AT THE TIME IN A SLIGHT TURN IN THE ROAD. I CAME WITHIN INCHES OF HITTING THE TRACTOR TRAILER AND SIGNIFICANTLY INJURING MYSELF, MY CHILD AND DAMAGING THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO EVENTUALLY PULL OFF THE ROAD AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM CORRECTED ITSELF AFTER RESTART. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2015 GMC CANYON AND GMC ONLY DECIDED TO RECALL SOME OF THE VEHICLES. WHY WOULD THE NHTSA ALLOW THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE TO GO UNCORRECTED?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED A FEW SECONDS BEFORE THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING ASSIST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND OPERATED AS INTENDED. TEMECULA VALLEY BUICK GMC (27420 YNEZ RD, TEMECULA, CA 92591, (951) 216-2260) WAS CONTACTED BY PHONE AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING. TRUCK WAS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN AND DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. PROBLEM WAS TEMPORARILY RESOLVED BY TURNING OFF THE TRUCK AND RESTARTING IT. THE SYMPTOM IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS THOSE DESCRIBED IN RECALL NO. 16V054000, BUT I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT MY TRUCK IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING POWER STEERING FAIL AND MESSAGE READING SERVICE POWER STEERING MESSAGE DISPLAYED ON DASHBOARD ALONG WITH SERVICE STABILATRAC AND MESSAGE ALONG WITH STABILATRAC AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, AT TIME OF ISSUE I WAS GOING AROUND A TURN IN WHICH I ALMOST CRASHED AS THE STEERING WHEEL AUTOMATICALLY WENT INTO THE STRAIGHT POSITION. THIS IS NOW HAPPENING MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY AND I HAVE TO PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND SHUT OFF AND RESTART IT IN WHICH SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT RESET. GM SAYS OTHER TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PREVIOUS RECALL IN WHICH I AM NOW HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUES.

I WAS TAKING OFF FROM A STOP SIGN AND TURNING RIGHT INTO TRAFFIC. ACCELERATION WAS MODERATE WHILE COMPLETING THE TURN WHERE I HAD TO REDUCE THE THROTTLE TO PREVENT THE TIRES FROM SPINNING. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO TOO HIGH OF A GEAR AS A RESULT AND DID NOT DOWNSHIFT WHEN 50% PLUS THROTTLE POSITION WAS APPLIED. ENGINE HAD LACK OF POWER. I HAD TO STOMP IT TO THE FLOOR TO GET IT TO DOWNSHIFT. BY THIS TIME TRAFFIC WAS COMING UP ON ME FAST BECAUSE OF THE EXCESSIVE DELAY TRYING TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO RESPOND. THE TRUCK HAS THE MOST CURRENT SOFTWARE UPDATES BASED ON WHAT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME.

HI. THIS IS MY SECOND FORMAL COMPLAINT REGARDING INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER STEERING, TRACTION CONTROL, AND STABILITY CONTROL ON MY 2015 GMC CANYON. THERE HAVE BEEN RECURRING TEMPORARY LOSSES OF THE AFOREMENTIONED VEHICLE CAPABILITIES WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, LEADING TO SEVERELY DEGRADED VEHICLE PERFORMANCE, HANDLING, AND TRACTION. IN EVERY CASE, WARNINGS LIGHTS HAVE DISPLAYED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THE LOSS OF CONTROL. THESE LIGHTS HAVE ALSO 'TURNED-OFF' OR RESET WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. I HAVE REPEATEDLY BROUGHT MY TRUCK INTO AUTHORIZED GMC SERVICE APPOINTMENTS SOON AFTER THE WARNING LIGHTS AND PERFORMANCE FAILURES, OR IN ONE INSTANCE AS THE WARNING LIGHT WAS ACTIVELY ILLUMINATED. EACH TIME, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE OR PULL ANY RELEVANT SERVICE CODES RELATED TO THE PROBLEM. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I DO NOT BELIEVE THE ROOT CAUSE ISSUE HAS BEEN ADJUDICATED AND I THINK THIS REPRESENTS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO DRIVERS OF THE 2015 GMC CANYON SUCH AS MYSELF. WHILE MY TRUCK WAS NOT PART OF THE PAST RECALL, THIS SEEMS STRONGLY RELATED TO THE PRIOR STEERING GEAR CONNECTOR RECALL.
