VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY INDICATING MISFIRE WHEN IDLING; CAR IS SHAKING AND RATTLING THERE'S A SPECIAL COVERAGE LETTER #07123A BUT GMC DOES NOT COVER INTAKE LEAKAGE ISSUE ONCE VEHICLE IS PASSED 7 YRS OR 100K MILES, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM SINCE 2007. IF YOU ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER, THERE IS NO WAY TO BE NOTIFIED OR CONTACTED. MY DEALER NEVER MADE ME AWARE OF THE ISSUE AFTER PURCHASING THE TRUCK. NOW I'M PASSED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND AM SUPPOSED TO COVER THE FULL COSTS. THIS IS CUSTOMER FRAUD SINCE ITS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM RELATED TO THE ENGINE - ALL 2004-06 GMC CANYONS ARE AFFECTED BY THIS. THIS NEEDS A RECALL - NOT EXTENDED WARRANTY! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM WOULD NOT ALLOW THE TRUCK TO START, THEN ONCE STARTED THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD COMPONENTS FAILED NO SPEEDOMETER, FUEL, TEMP OR AIR CONDITIONER WOULD WORK, ALSO THE TRACTION CONTROL WENT INTO ALARM... GMC PEOPLE SAID THEY COULD NOT SEE ANY ALARM CODES AND FAILED TO REPAIR THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM... RECOMMENDED I GET ON-STAR TO HELP IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM.. I DID, IT FAILED AGAIN AND ON-STAR SAW THE CODES HOWEVER GMC SAYS THEY CANNOT TRUST ON-STAR FINDINGS, EVEN THOUGH THEY RECOMMENDED THEM WHICH IS COSTING ME $30.00 A MONTH TO MONITOR THEIR VEHICLES WARRANTY.. STILL DRIVING A TRUCK THAT SOMETIMES DOES NOT START AND THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING... VERY DANGEROUS.
