ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I HAVE A 2005 GMC CANYON WITH 44K MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE CAM SHAFT SENSORS AND CAM SHAFT SOLENOID SO FAR, AND TODAY AFTER ONLY 150 MILES AFTER REPLACEMENT OF THE SOLENOID I AGAIN HAVE TO HAVE IT REPLACED. GMC STOCKS THIS PART WHICH MY MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT MEANS THAT THEY KNOW THAT THEY ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT. I TOOK IT TO CARL EDWARDS CHEVY BUT THEY WERE SO RUDE THAT I LEFT AND TOOK IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC TO REPAIR. IT HAS GONE FROM 27 MPG TO 16 MPG AND I CAN SMELL GASOLINE. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT IT IS PUSHING TOO MUCH GAS INTO THE INTAKES AND THAT IT COULD CAUSE A FIRE. *JB

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
THERE IS AN EXTREME UNSAFE CONDITION THAT EXIST ON ALL 2012 GMC CANYON PICKUPS. THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN OFF THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS ON THESE PICKUPS. IF THESE TRUCK ARE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND NO ONE INSIDE IS COHERENT ENOUGH TO PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK THE TRUCK WILL REMAIN LOCKED, THIS COULD PREVENT BYSTANDERS FROM BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS AND RESCUE ANY ONE. IF THERE IS A FIRE INVOLVED THE PASSENGERS WILL BURN TO DEATH NEEDLESSLY. GENERAL MOTORS WILL NOT MAKE ANY EFFORT TO RESOLVE THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. PLEASE EXIBITE THIS REQUEST TO HAVE GMC REPROGRAM THE TRUCK SO THAT THE LOCKS CAN BE TURNED OFF. THE 2004 CANYONS HAD THIS CHOICE IN THEIR PROGRAMMING. *JS
