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?

ON OCTOBER 5, 2016, I TOOK MY TRUCK OVER TO MY MECHANIC TO HAVE MY BRAKE LINES BLED AS I REPLACED THE RIGHT FRONT CALIPER. WHEN THEY TOOK THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE OFF, THEY HAD SHOWN ME THAT THE LOWER LEFT CONTROL ARM MOUNT WAS GOING TO FAIL. THERE WAS NO FAILURE AS OF YET AND THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS FOUND. IT WAS SEVERELY RUSTED OUT AND CRACKED, AS WELL AS THE FRAME AND AREA AROUND IT WAS SEVERELY RUSTED AND HOLES WERE VISIBLE. SO I DROVE IT HOME AND TOOK IT OVER TO A WELDER THAT HAS DONE REPAIRS ON THE TRUCK BEFORE AND HE SAID THAT IT WAS TOO CLOSE TO THE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS AND HE WASN'T GOING TO FIX IT. SO, AS OF NOW, I AM LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO SPECIALIZES IN AUTOMOTIVE WELDING, BUT THERE NOT TOO MANY PEOPLE HERE IN MY AREA WHO SPECIALIZE IN THIS KIND OF WORK. INSPECTION IS COMING UP AND I DOUBT IT PASSES. MECHANICALLY, I HAVE HAS FEW PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRUCK AND WOULD MUCH RATHER FIX IT THAN GET RID OF IT. PICTURES I AM POSTING SHOW THE SEVERITY OF THE DAMAGE.

GOT RECALL NOTICE IN LATE 2014 EARLY 2015 NOTICE OF RECALL ON TRUCK FOR IGNITION SWITCH. I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2004. I GOT A RECALL NOTICE IN THE TIME FRAME ABOVE TO BRING IT IN. I TOOK IT TO THEN STANLY GMC IN SHERMAN TEXAS, NOW PARKWAY GMC. THE PARTS MANAGER SAID BECAUSE I WAS OUTSIDE THE MILEAGE THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. TO DAY I SAW AN ARTICLE IN OUR NEWSPAPER ABOUT THE POOR RECALL PERCENTAGE ON YOUR NOTICES. I TOOK MINE IN AS THE ARTICLE SAID YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO DO. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THAT TIME MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS A NUISANCE. I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEM YET AND INTEND TO KEEP THE TRUCK FOR ANOTHER 10 YEARS OR SO. IF I DO EVER DECIDE TO TRADE FOR A NEW TRUCK I'LL KEEP THIS EVENT IN MIND. I'M 72 AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY YOU PUT A LIMIT ON THE TIME BEFORE THE RECALL EXPIRES. A PROBLEM CAN BE A PROBLEM NO MATTER HOW OLD THE TRUCK OR CAR IS AS LONG AS THE ORIGINAL OWNER HAS IT. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *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

I WENT TO WORK THIS MORNING AND MY 2004 GMC CANYON TRUCK WAS RUNNING FINE, ABOUT 2 HOURS LATER I RAN AN ERRAND, STILL NO ISSUES WITH THE TRUCK. AROUND 2:00PM I WENT TO RUN ANOTHER ERRAND AND SMELT SOMETHING LIKE BURNING PLASTIC, I OPENED MY TRUCK TO FIND THAT MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WAS SMOLDERING. THE TRUCK WAS FULL OF SMOKE AND THERE IS NOW A HOLE IN THE SIDE OF MY DOOR FROM WHERE THE PLASTIC MELTED! I HAVE NO IDEA HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED, BUT THIS IS MY ONLY SOURCE OF TRANSPORTATION AND I OFTEN TAKE MY GRANDDAUGHTERS ON TRIPS WITH ME. I PLAN TO TAKE IT TO A GMC DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT SO MAYBE THEY CAN TELL ME WHAT CAUSED THIS PROBLEM. ALSO, THE BACK SEATS IN THIS TRUCK BLOCK A LOT OF THE VIEW OUT OF THE REAR WINDOW CAUSING MAJOR BLIND SPOTS. SINCE I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS TRUCK ABOUT 2 MONTHS I PLAN TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES AND SELL THE DARN TRUCK! *TR

Official recalls

GM IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2011, CHEVROLET COLORADO, GMC CANYON, MODEL YEAR 2006, ISUZU I-280/I-350, AND MODEL YEAR 2007-2008, I-290/I-370, REGULAR CAB VEHICLES AND EXTENDED CAB VEHICLES WITHOUT A REAR SEAT AND EQUIPPED WITH A FRONT 60/40 SPLIT BENCH SEAT. THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 225, "CHILD RESTRAINT ANCHORAGE SYSTEMS." THE TOP TETHER ANCHOR FOR THE FRONT CENTER SEAT IS NOT ACCESSIBLE AND THE OWNER MANUAL DOES NOT INCLUDE INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING HOW TO USE THE TOP TETHER.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: BOTH NHTSA AND GM DISCOURAGE PLACEMENT OF A CHILD IN A FRONT SEAT. NEVERTHELESS, THERE ARE INDIVIDUAL CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MAY REQUIRE PLACEMENT OF A CHILD IN A RESTRAINT IN THE FRONT CENTER SEATING POSITION OF THIS VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT OFFER A REAR SEAT. LACK OF ACCESS TO THE TOP TETHER ANCHOR AND A LACK OF INSTRUCTIONS AS TO HOW TO USE IT, MAY RESULT IN IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF A CHILD RESTRAINT. IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF A CHILD RESTRAINT CAN RESULT IN A REDUCTION IN THE RESTRAINT'S PERFORMANCE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH AND AN INCREASED RISK OF INJURY OR DEATH TO THE CHILD SEATED IN THE RESTRAINT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL CUT A HOLE INTO THE BACK PANEL TRIM COVER TO ALLOW ACCESS TO THE TOP TETHER ANCHOR FOR THE FRONT CENTER SEAT POSITION AND WILL PROVIDE SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION AS TO USE IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463, ISUZU AT 1-800-255-6727 OR VISIT GM'S WEBSITE AT WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.

GM IS RECALLING 185,903 MODEL YEAR 2004-2009 COLORADO, GMC MODEL YEAR 2009-2004 CANYON, MODEL YEAR 2006 I-280, I-350, MODEL YEAR 2007-2008 I-290, AND I-370, PASSENGER VEHICLES ORIGINALLY SOLD IN OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF ALABAMA, ARIZONA, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, HAWAII, LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI, NEVADA, NEW MEXICO, PUERTO RICO, SOUTH CAROLINA, TEXAS, U.S. VIRGIN ISLANDS AND UTAH. SOME OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE A BRAKE LAMP SWITCH THAT MAY NOT WORK AS DESIGNED DUE TO CONTAMINATION IN THE SWITCH.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE THE SIMULTANEOUS LOSS OF ALL BRAKE LAMPS OR CAUSE ALL OF THE BRAKE LAMPS TO STAY ON CONTINUOUSLY. BOTH OF THESE CONDITIONS COULD FAIL TO WARN OTHERS OF THE DRIVER'S INTENTIONS AND COULD LEAD TO A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE NECESSARY COMPONENTS AS SPECIFIED IN THE RECALL BULLETIN FREE OF CHARGE. GM ANTICIPATES THAT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE BY JUNE 2010. A SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR VEHICLES REGISTERED IN ALL OTHER STATES WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN THE SAME TIME FRAME. IN THE INTERIM, OWNERS WHO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE CAN OBTAIN A FREE REPAIR, HOWEVER THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO RETURN WHEN THE NEW DESIGN PART BECOMES AVAILABLE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, GMC AT 1-866-996-9463, ISUZU AT 1-800-255-6727 OR AT WWW.GMOWNERCENTER.COM.
Apr 27, 2006
CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS MAY EXPERIENCE THE PERMANENT LOSS OF BRAKE LAMP FUNCTION OR BRAKE LAMPS THAT ARE ILLUMINATED AT ALL TIMES. THE CENTER HIGH-MOUNTED STOP LAMP (CHMSL) IS AFFECTED IN BOTH INSTANCES. ALSO, IF EQUIPPED, THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL BECOME INOPERATIVE. ANY TRAILER BRAKE LAMPS WHICH ARE CONNECTED TO THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE LAMP WIRING WILL MIMIC THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE LAMPS WHEN EITHER CONDITION OCCURS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A FOLLOWING DRIVER MAY NOT KNOW WHEN THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN APPLIED, AND A REAR-END CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH ASSEMBLY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON DECEMBER 5, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438; GMC AT 1-866-996-9463 OR ISUZU AT 1-800-255-6727.
