2004 GMC Canyon problems

“The contact owns a 2004 GMC Canyon. The contact stated that after work was completed on the tires, the independent mechanic informed him that due to severe undercarriage corrosion, the vehicle was unsafe to drive. The contact also took the vehicle to a dealer who provided the same information as the independent mechanic. The manufacturer was then notified of the failure and informed him that there were no open recalls on the vehicle. No additional assistance was offered. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 89,000.”

“THE CHASSIS HAS BECOME SEVERELY RUSTED ON LEFT SIDE WHERE FRONT OF LEAF SPRING IS BOLTED TO IT. IT IS ABOUT TO BREAK OFF AND IT HAS BEEN DENOTED AS "UNSAFE TO DRIVE" BY THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP. TRUCK HAS BEEN WELL-MAINTAINED AND IS IN GOOD CONDITION OTHERWISE. IT HAS BEEN GARAGE-KEPT FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS. I BOUGHT IT NEW 9/2004. THE DEALERSHIP JUST DISCOVERED PROBLEM TODAY WHEN I WAS HAVING OTHER ROUTINE WORK DONE.”

“AFTER READING A POST FROM THE 116 AFFECTED GMC CANYON OWNERS I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. LAST MONTH JUNE 2019 WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK MY AC JUST QUIT WORKING (HOT WEATHER IN SACRAMENTO), NO MATTER WHAT SPEED IT WAS ON 1 THROUGH 4. I ALSO SMELT A BURNING SMELL. TODAY WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK TO THE REALER TO GET IT ANALYZED I HIT A BUMP AND THE BLOWER STARTED WORKING AGAIN ON SPEED 4. BOB FROM JOHN L SULLIVAN CHEVY JUST CALLED TO CONFIRM THE DIAGNOSIS...THE CONNECTOR THAT CONNECTS TO THE BLOWER WAS MELTED AND THE RESISTER WAS BURNT.”

“REDUCED POWER LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD AND I HAD NO POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SINCE JULY 2013. IT HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES IN APRIL AND NOW AGAIN. IT IS GOING BACK TO THE GARAGE ON TUES. GETTING RIDICULOUS AND EXPENSIVE! WHEN IT IS PUT ON THE SCOPE IT KEEPS COMING UP WITH THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR FAULT. *TR”

“REFERENCE RECALLS ON REPORT RECEIPT DATE: APR 27, 2006 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V139000 COMPONENT(S): EXTERIOR LIGHTING REPORT RECEIPT DATE: JUL 29, 2009 NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V310000 COMPONENT(S): EXTERIOR LIGHTING MY 2004 GMC CANYON BRAKE LIGHT WENT OUT ON ME ON 8/8/2013. THE BRAKE LIGHT OUT WAS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR TAILGATERS. SO I TOOK TO MARK CHRISTOPHER GMC DEALER, ONTARIO CA FOR REPAIR BECAUSE OF TWO SAME RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE PLUS TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE. ORIGINAL ESTIMATION OF COST WAS 305. THE DEALER DECIDED TO CHARGE ME 155 FOR TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE AND LABOR, $16.75 FOR A DEFECTIVE/MALFUNCTION BRAKE SWITCH AND $200 ON LABOR. THEY TOLD ME THE RECALLS WAS DONE ALREADY ON THE VEHICLE AND THERE IS NO WARRANTY ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT. THE FINAL ESTIMATION OF COST WAS $377. I DON'T RECALL THE DATE THAT IT WAS SERVICED. HOW CAN GMC ASSURES THAT THE VEHICLE RECALLS WAS DONE PROPERLY? I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH GMC AND IT RECALLS. I FELT LIKE I GOT RIP OFF BY THE DEALER. BESIDE, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY EVER CHANGE MY TRANSMISSION OIL FILTER AND CASKET ALONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION OIL CHANGE. *TR”

“HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME AND WAS TOLD TO REPORT TO THIS SITE MY PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON, TRUCK IS A EXTENDED CAB SO CHECKED THE WIRING IN THE DOORS AND THEY WERE BROKE IN PASSENGER DOOR SO I REPAIRED THEM THINKING I FOUND THE PROBLEM AND LIGHT STILL STAYS ON AND RADIO WILL NOT SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVERS SIDE DOOR IS OPENED ALSO DOME LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON BUT WILL WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR IS OPENED?????? DEALERSHIP JUST WANTS $$$$$ TO CHECK THE CODES AND MORE $$$$ TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM THAT IS OCCURRING FROM THEIR POOR DESIGN FROM WHAT I HAVE READ I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM. I'M AFRAID THE AIR BAG WILL NOT WORK ON PASSENGER SIDE IF AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS? ALSO CHECKED THE WIRES UNDER SEAT AND THEY LOOK FINE?”
