2007 GMC Canyon

While driving my vehicle the vehicle early in the morning going to work, the headlights went out. I pulled over, and turned it to auto and they worked there, but did not work when switching it to headlamps. That happened just the one time. Also, since I have owned the vehicle, after operating the vehicle when it is dark outside, and then getting out to get gas, and getting back in. I crank the vehicle over, and I have no dash lights. I cannot see how fast I am going. It only does this after operating the vehicle and turning it off, and then getting back in and starting it again. This has occurred many times for the past 4 years.

BOUGHT OUR PRISTINE 2007 GMC CANYON SLE IN NOV 2017 WITH 45, 471 ORIGINAL MILES. BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH IT UNTIL LIGHTING QUIRKS STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO. THE LAST YEAR OR SO THE TURN SIGNAL AND BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE PULSES WHERE THEY DECIDE TO NOT WORK CORRECTLY. THEN WORK FINE FOR MONTHS, BEFORE ACTING UP AGAIN. WE ACTUALLY HAD OUR CANYON IN AT THE GMC DEALER IN DEC 2019 FOR LOOS INTAKE MANIFOLD REPAIR, 2ND TIME IN LAST 9 MONTHS.. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD US WE ALSO HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS. I SAID I DID NOT KNOW THAT AND I WAS NOW CONCERNED HOW LONG THEY HAVE NOT BEEN WORKING, AND THAT WE HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT TURN SIGNAL ISSUES A NUMBER OF TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. COMES AND GOES. I THEN ASKED IF THERE WAS ANY BRAKE LIGHT OR LIGHT SWITCH RECALL ON OUR CANYON. I SAID I REMEMBER SEEING A RECALL NOTICE ON CONSUMER REPORTS. HE SAID THEIR IS NO RECALL ON OUR CANYON. THEY SAID THEY FIXED THE BRAKE LIGHT WITH A NEW BRAKE PEDAL BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. TONIGHT THE LIGHTS STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. WHEN PUSH BRAKE PEDDLE, LEFT TURN SIGNAL TURNS ON. LEFT TURN SIGNAL WAS ALSO INTERMITTENT FUNCTION, OCCASIONALLY THIS LAST WEEK. TONIGHT IT HAD A HARD TIME FIGURING OUT HOW TO WORK, FLASH CORRECTLY. THEN, WHILE DRIVING HOME TONIGHT AND WITH MY KIDS FOLLOWING ME IN THEIR SUV, WHEN WE GOT HOME THEY SAID THE CANYON NEEDS TO STAY PARKED UNTIL REPAIRED. THEY SAID MY TURN SIGNALS AND BRAKES LIGHT ARE TOTALLY MESSED UP AND NOT WORKING. NO LEFT RUNNING LIGHT, NO LEFT BRAKE LIGHT, AND RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT ON FULL BRIGHTNESS THE WHOLE TIME. THEY COULD NOT TELL WHEN I WAS BRAKING OR USING THE TURN SIGNALS. INTERESTING HOW THE DEALER SERVICE MANAGER DID NOT RECOMMEND TO US THAT THEY REPLACE THE LIGHT SWITCH ANYWAYS, JUST TO BE SAFE.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I PURCHASED MY 2007 GMC CANYON IN FEBRUARY 2007 WITH TRAILER HARNESS AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT AT FRESARD GMC. I ACTUALLY ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO ALL MY BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING. I CALLED GMC TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT DUE TO INTERNET RESEARCH ON RECALL FOR BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE. THE REP TRIED TO DENY RECALL BUT I EXPLAINED TO HER ABOUT RECALL. SHE LOCATED CLOSEST DEALER WHICH WAS RED HOLMAN GMC FOR RECALL ON BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE BUT THEY ARE TRYING TO CHARGE ME $300 FOR NEW TRAILER HARNESS PLUS ADDITIONAL LABOR COST. THE DEALERSHIP IS STATING THAT WATER GOT INTO MY TRAILER HARNESS WHICH CAUSED ALL THE LIGHTS TO STOP WORKING. I HAVE NOT USED THE TRAILER AND LEARNED IT WAS INCORRECTLY INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY. CAN YOU PLEASE ASSIST ME WITH THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THIS IS MY PRIMARY TRANSPORTATION? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
