2015 GMC Canyon

OIL COOLANT LINE THAT IS NOT VIEWABLE HAS RUSTED OUT AND OIL IS LEAKING FROM MY CAR, ALMOST CAUSING ENGINE DAMAGE. I DID NOT RECEIVE AN OIL LOW WARNING UNTIL I WAS OUT OF OIL. NO INDICATIONS THE OIL WAS LEAKING AND EVEN WITH CONSISTENT OIL CHANGES IT WAS UNABLE TO BE SEEN UNTIL THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I AM UNSURE HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE IT WAS A SLOW LEAK AND I DIDN'T GET ANY ALERTS UNTIL ALL MY OIL WAS GONE. MY TRUCK IS 4 YRS OLD, I BOUGHT IT USED SEPTEMBER 29,2015 WITH 1100 MILES ON IT, I MAINTAIN MY VEHICLE, IT HAS 43000 MILES AND I GET ZIEBART RUST PROOFING YEARLY, THAT I BOUGHT THROUGH THE DEALER WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.

VEHICLE STALLS THEN JERKS FORWARD WHEN ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING. JERKING CAUSES BRIEF LOSS OF CONTROL AS VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD WHILE TRANSMISSION ATTEMPTS TO CATCH UP. THIS OCCURS AT ANY MOMENT WHILE DRIVING (UPHILL, DOWNHILL, TURNING, CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS) SEEMS TO OCCUR MOST WHEN SPEEDS ARE UNDER 60 MPH. CAUSES VERY UNSAFE CONDITIONS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. OCCURRED TODAY AND HAS OCCURRED ALMOST EVERYDAY SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. (2 YEARS)

2015 GMC CANYON RADIO DISPLAY SCREEN CHANGES CHANNELS AND DISPLAY WITHOUT OPERATOR INPUT. DASHBOARD DISPLAY WILL CHANGE FROM" INFO" TO "AUDIO" RADIO STATION .DESPITE NUMEROUS DUPLICATE COMPLAINTS O THE INTERNET (GOOGLE SEARCH ). NO DUPLICATE COMPLAINTS WERE FOUND IN NHTSA ? RESOLVE SEEMS TO BE A DISPLAY SCREEN REPLACEMENT$$$. VEHICLE IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. NO DIFFERENCE.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE VEHICLE. THE DASH GAVE A WARNING THAT READ POWER STEERING. DRIVE WITH CARE. I STOPED THE VEHICLE, TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AND IT SEEMED TO RESET AND WORKED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST TWO DAYS. I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2015 GMC CANYON FOR THIS ISSUE BUT MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25 MPH THE FIRST TIME AND ABOUT 45 MPH THE SECOND TIME ON CITY STREET. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE THE TRUCK WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED LAST WEEK SO I DO NOT KNOW IF THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

LOSS OF STEERING. PREVIOUSLY THERE WAS A RECALL ON CANYON VEHICLES BUILT FROM JANUARY TO MARCH OF 2015, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT 6/23/15 AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. I'M ASKING FOR AN EXTENDED RECALL BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE IN LOSING THE STEERING. I JUST CAME OFF OF I-80 AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT WHEN THE STEERING WHEN OUT. FIVE MORE TIMES THAT DAY THE STEERING WENT OUT ON THE WAY HOME. GOOD THING THERE WASN'T A PERSON WALKING BY ME OR GOOD THING IT DIDN'T GO OUT WHEN I WAS ON THE HIGH WAY ESPECIALLY CHANGING LANES. I HAD THE DEALER "RICHARDSON MOTORS" IN DUBUQUE, IOWA DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AT $135.00. THE STEERING QUIT ON ME 5 TIMES THAT DAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING FROM 2 MPH TO 25 MPH..

THE POWER STEERING FAILS AND THE TRUCK HAS TO BE TURNED OFF AND BACK ON TO CLEAR THE PROBLEM. FIRST FAILED A WEEK AGO MOVING AT ABOUT 10 MPH. FAILED AGAIN WHILE ROLLING TO A STOP A FEW DAYS LATER. BOTH TIMES SO FAR WAS STEERING STRAIGHT AND IN NO TRAFFIC. ONCE ON PAVEMENT AND ONCE ON DIRT ROAD. 45K MILES ON THIS 2015 CANYON. VERY DANGEROUS FAILURE!

"TAKATA RECALL" WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, STABILIZATION WARNING CODE COMES ON AND I LOSE POWER STEERING. ANOTHER MESSAGE SAYS POWER STEERING SERVICE REQUIRED. WHEN I STOP AND RESTART TRUCK EVERYTHING IS RESET AND WORKS FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN THE PAST 5 DAYS. LAST TIME THIS OCCURRED IT DID NOT RESET WHEN I STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE TRUCK. DROVE HOME WITH NO POWER STEERING.

RANDOMLY WHEN DRIVING (IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET), THE POWER STEERING HAS STOPPED WORKING. AT THE SAME TIME, THE DISPLAY SHOWS A POWER STEERING SERVICE REQUIRED MESSAGE AS WELL AS A STABILITRAK SERVICE REQUIRED MESSAGE. MOST OF THE TIME, THE TRUCK RESETS WHEN IT IS SHUT OFF AND TURNED BACK ON AND THE MESSAGES GO AWAY AND THE SYSTEMS FUNCTION PROPERLY AGAIN. UNTIL THEY RANDOMLY FAIL AGAIN. OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS, THIS SCENARIO HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 6 TO 8 TIMES.
