| 2005 | LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH | THE "2005 GMC CANYON" PICK-UP AND SIMILAR VEHICLES MADE BY THIS MANUFACTURER LACK KEYED ACCESS LOCKS ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE DOORS. IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, BECAUSE THERE IS NO PRACTICAL WAY TO READILY ACCESS THE VEHICLE FROM THE PASSENGER-SIDE, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL THAT THE VEHICLE OWNER OR PASSENGERS WOULD BE EXPOSED TO UNDUE HARM. IT IS TAKEN FOR GRANTED BY MOST CONSUMERS THAT VEHICLES COME WITH KEYED ACCESS ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE, BUT NOWHERE IN THE MANUFACTURERS LITERATURE DOES IT MENTION THAT THERE ARE NO OUTSIDE LOCKS ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE OF THESE VEHICLES. IF A CONSUMER WERE TO PURCHASE THE VEHICLE WITH POWER LOCKS, THIS WOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE, UNLESS THERE WAS A POWER FAILURE TO THE VEHICLE, BUT VEHICLES SOLD THAT DO NOT COME WITH THE POWER DOOR LOCK FEATURE, DO NOT COME WITH OUTSIDE DOOR LOCKS ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD RETROFIT THESE VEHICLES WITH OUTSIDE DOOR LOCKS. *JB |
| 2011 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | A DAY OR TWO AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE I WAS IN A CRAMPED PARKING LOT AND WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED. THIS HAPPENED TWICE, ONCE GOING FORWARD AND ONCE IN REVERSE BEFORE I REALIZED THAT MY FOOT WAS PARTLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND PARTLY ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST EIGHT TIMES SINCE THEN. I HAVE FOUND THAT IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN I AM WEARING WIDE SOLED WORK SHOES. (GMC MARKETS THIS VEHICLE AS A WORK TRUCK.) THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHICH CAUSED ME TO NEARLY TRAP A WOMAN WHO WAS STANDING BEHIND HER CAR IN A GAS STATION. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO STOP IN TIME BUT SHE AND I WERE BOTH VISIBLY SHAKEN BY THE INCIDENT. I REPORTED THE CONDITION TO THE DEALER FROM WHOM I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BUT THE RESPONSE WAS THAT I SHOULD BE MORE CAREFUL. *TR |
