Blind zone detection system and door latch system failures. The blind zone detection system is inconsistent and at times remains on with bright lights impairing the drivers ability to see at night. With this inconsistency the driver cannot rely on it properly detecting vehicles within the blind spot. Another known issue is the inability to put down windows with the drivers side door. The alert for this is to service the door latch system which typically comes on while driving the vehicle. This limits the driver being able to safely respond to traffic stops from emergency personnel as well as the ability to evacuate the vehicle through the window if necessary. The dealers that have reviewed these issues say they cannot replicate or fix them.

The contact owns a 2023 GMC Canyon. The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced several electrical failures and would fail to start due to a faulty battery. The contact stated that after the manufacturer remotely completed an unknown electrical update on the vehicle, the vehicle started experiencing several failures including a rearview camera, door locks, brakes, and power steering failures. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 5 MPH and depressing the brake pedal, the message "Power Brake Assist" and "Power Steering" were displayed. Additionally, the brake pedal went down to the floorboard, and the vehicle failed to respond immediately. The contact also stated that the vehicle lost power steering functionality. The vehicle was later taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the failure was related to the electrical system; however, the dealer could not repair the vehicle.

I replaced the fuel filter on my 2005 gmc canyon as part of regular maintenance. In order to perform the fuel filter replacement I disconnected the negative terminal of the battery. After maintenance, the battery was hooked up. Vehicle now exhibits the following symptoms. 1) drivers side window inoperable. 2) power door locks inoperable from divers side master switch. 3) vehicle does not automatically lock doors when shifted from p to r or d. 4) keyless entry inoperable. This is not the first time this condition has presented itself after unhooking the battery. Possible safety concern over inoperable window and door locks. This problem has been well documented on internet forums with no clear solution.

All the power in the driver's door stopped working - the window won't roll down, door lock/unlock button doesn't work, etc. It also prevents the door lock/unlock remote control from working. I've searched online for possible causes/solutions, and found numerous other owners with the same problem. It seems as though the canyon has a well-documented history of electrical issues. It's a shame my 16 year old daughter didn't know that before she spent all the money she saved up to buy one.

There is an extreme unsafe condition that exist on all 2012 gmc canyon pickups. There is no way to turn off the automatic door locks on these pickups. If these truck are involved in an accident and no one inside is coherent enough to put the truck in park the truck will remain locked, this could prevent bystanders from being able to open the doors and rescue any one. If there is a fire involved the passengers will burn to death needlessly. General motors will not make any effort to resolve this serious problem. Please exibite this request to have gmc reprogram the truck so that the locks can be turned off. The 2004 canyons had this choice in their programming.

Passenger door has no exterior door lock. Just who is the brain trust that decided to remove the exterior door lock ? Ahhh, but you guys compensated by placing a lock on the tailgate. Had I noticed this at time of purchase, I would have bought a toyota. My first truck was a '85 s-15 .... Loved it. That is why I returned to gm for this truck. Well, just as soon as I run this one into the ground, I won't be back.

Rear turn signal lights, brake lamps and head lamps experience permanent loss. Sometimes when the vehicle becomes wet the cruise control stops functioning, the power door locks stop working, the power windows stop working, and the power rear view mirrors stop working. Also there is periodic non-functioning of the remote key entry. As of 11/10/2006 the rear tail lights have been replaced twice and one head lamp at owners expense. Currently a third brake light requires replacement. On nov. 10, 2006 I took the truck in for repair an mentioned the recall on this particular problem. The dealership said that gm has not issued a recall and that the owner would have to pay for the repairs. I am aware of the "the federal safety agency campaign number 06v‑139" and gm's april 26, 2006 response to mr. Daniel c. Smith, associate administrator for enforcement, the federal safety agency. Although the recall references only the brake lamps and possibility of cruise control failure, I believe the problem is further exasperated with the other afore mentioned electrical problems. Consequences present themselves in the form of distractions to the driver when trying to drive and make adjustments to the following electrical componets when they fail to function: door mounted rear view mirrors, lowering of windows in order to pay for highway tolls, rear brake lights and turn signal lights fail, and reduced head lamp failures.
