The truck will start sometimes and it won't sometimes. When the truck does not start I can usually wait about 15 mins and then it will start.
2006 GMC Canyon electrical complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 17 of 17, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Sometimes the truck will start sometimes it wont, lights on the panel fade in and out, sometimes half will be on and the other half out. We took it to the mechanic, he said its an electrical problem somewhere, hes working on it now trying to figure out where its coming from. I've looked on line and seen where several are complaining of the same problem, I've also called gmc.
2006 gmc colorado, 5 cyl. Automatic. Defogger does not keep windows clear making visibility seriously reduced.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 gmc canyon. The vehicle was purchased on march 5, 2008 and two days later, the contact realized that there was no keyhole on the passenger side. The rearview mirror reflected the instrument panel instead of the rear of the vehicle. The rear window has no molding, which will cause major damage to the driver's head in the event of a crash. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer, but they were unwilling to make the adjustments. The failure mileage was 22,900. Updated 06/30/08
I have a 2006 canyon and in the last year I have had to replace tail lights,three sterios,4x4 buttons,windows,wiring has been repaired severial times,the truck is excessivly hard on gass,and as soon as my inline five cylinder engine hit 31.000 km I had to take it back to the dealer once again ,this time for a new engine. Apparently there only good for thirty thousand and then need to be replaced. Hard to believe this truck cost me almost forty thousand dallors. Dont get what you pay for with a gm.my next truck will be a toyota and this canyon has convinced me to never buy another gm product again and hopfully I can save some people from making the same mistake I did.
I have been having several electrical problems with my canyon,I have owned it for only 3 months but has been in the shop twice and I need to take it in for a third time because of more electrical problems. 1) auxiliary outlets had to be replaced 2) battery had to be replaced. 3) now my left blinker stays on inside the truck and my left signal stays lit,that has stopped but now when I turn the left signal on, my illuminating lamps for the emergency button,air system controller and air bag lights will blink.
Vehicle caught fire for no apparent reason while parked in the driveway and was completely destroyed. We believe there was an electrical problem in the steering column because we had slight difficulties with the ignition switch.
