MY TRUCK IS FAILING TO START AT INTERMITTENT TIMES. HAVE CHECKED THE STARTER AND ALTERNATOR BUT THE LIGHTS WORK AND THE BATTERY CHECKS OUT FINE. AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES THE TRUCK WILL START AND RUN NORMALLY. I HAD THE FUEL PUMP CHANGED AS I WAS TOLD THIS WAS THE PROBLEM BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. I CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP AGAIN THINKING I RECEIVED A DEFECTIVE FUEL PUMP BUT I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME STARTING ISSUES. I HAVE RESET THE COMPUTER IN THE TRUCK HOPING THIS WOULD HELP BUT IT HAS NOT. THIS STARTING ISSUE OCCURS ABOUT EVERY DAY AND USUAL…

Owner report 10359507 · 2010-10-07 (October 7, 2010)
2004 GMC CANYON, 113,000 MILES. ABOUT A YEAR AGO STARTED HAVING STARTING PROBLEMS. CHANGED FUEL PUMP, OUT OF MY POCKET, TRUCK OUT OF WARRANTY. $400 LATER TRUCK STILL HAD STARTING PROBLEMS. NOTICED WHEN IT WON'T START PASSLOCK LIGHT IS ON. HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES OR SO THEN IT'LL START. HAPPENING MORE FREQUENT NOW. DEALER WANTS $90 TO DIAGNOSE PLUS COST OF PARTS & LABOR. I'VE NOTICED QUITE A FEW OTHER CANYON OWNERS HAVING SAME PROBLEM. HOW MANY VEHICLES WILL THIS HAVE TO EFFECT BEFORE RECALL IS DONE? THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH MY TRUCK …

Owner report 10605696 · 2014-06-24 (June 24, 2014)
THE 2.9 4 CYL. ENGINE IN MY 06 GMC CANYON DIES INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN IT DOES, "REDUCED POWER" DISPLAYS IN THE DRIVER INFO CENTER AND THE TRUCK WILL NOT RESTART. THE POWER IS CUT TO THE STARTER AND FUEL PUMP BUT ALL ACCESSORIES STILL FUNCTION PROPERLY. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE SYSTEM SEEMS TO RESET AND THE TRUCK WILL START AND OPERATE NORMALLY. UNTIL THE NEXT TIME IT DECIDES TO GO OUT. I WOULD SAY THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE SHOULD AN ENGINE DIE UNEXPECTEDLY ON THE HIGHWAY OR AT A RED LIGHT AND NOT ALLOW RESTART FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. THIS IS EXTREM…

Owner report 11384244 · 2020-12-20 (December 20, 2020)
I LIFTED THE TRUCK ON A HYDRAULIC LIFT TO FIND THE SOURCE OF A RATTLE THATS USUALLY A HEAT SHIELD THAT HAS COME LOOSE BUT TO MY SURPRISE I ALSO FOUND THE FRAME OF THIS TRUCK HAS LITERAL HOLES ROTTED THROUGH WITH THE RESPECTIVE SUPPORT STRUCTURES FOR THE TRANSMISSION/TRANSFER CASE, FUEL TANK AND FRONT LEAF SPRING ATTACHMENT POINTS. IN SOME PLACES THE FRAME HAS ROTTED AWAY TO MAYBE 40% OF THE FRAME IS STILL INTACT. VERY DANGEROUS. THE AFFECTED AREAS ARE NOT VISIBLE FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE THE DAMAGE IS ONLY VISIBLE FROM UNDERNEATH. FROM OUTSIDE …

Owner report 11650301 · 2025-03-24 (March 24, 2025)
The Passlock System intermittently fails and prevents the fuel pump from pumping fuel to the engine. Even after paying GMC to repair the truck, the problem persists.
