2009 Gmc Canyon Complaints

ATTEMPT TO START THE ENGINE AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW HOURS IN DRIVEWAY, THE ENGINE STARTS THEN SPUTTERS AND STALLS AS IF NOT GETTING ENOUGH GAS AND ATTEMPTS TO DIE. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS, IT FINALLY CATCHES UP AND RUNS. ENGINE HAS STALLED WHILE SITTING AT TRAFFIC LIGHS SEVERAL TIMES. ACCORDING TO DOCUMENT ID # 2274089--- #08411 PRODUCT SAFETY- HARD START, NO START, ENGINE STALL- REPLACE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE- ( MAY 7, 2009) I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO A GMC DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST ALONG WITH A COPY OF RECALL BUT THEY CLAIM THAT IT IS A SERVICE BULLENTIN AND NOT A RECALL SO THEY WOULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT GATEWAY SERVICE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING WITH THE ENGINE STALL. THEY PULLED UP THE RECALL AND SHOWED IT TO ME AND ADVISED ME TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A GM DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL THAT THE GM DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL.

I DRIVE A 2009 GMC CANYON. WHEN DRIVING I'VE NOTICE THAT WHEN HITTING A HARD BUMP, SOMETIMES TURNING OR ACCELERATING QUICKLY WHETHER ON THE HIGHWAY OR STREET, THE TRUCK SHUTS OFF CAUSING THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES USELESS AND VERY HARD TO APPLY. SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES IN THE COURSE OF ONE TRIP AND HAPPENS AT A VARIETY OF DIFFERENT SPEEDS. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. THE ICON FOR THE THEFT DETERRENT APPEARS. THEN I HAVE TO QUICKLY PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL IN ORDER TO RESTART THE TRUCK. THE DATE BELOW IS THE MOST RECENT DAY IT HAS HAPPENED. THIS HAS BECOME A VERY SERIOUS CAUSE OF CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS RELATED TO THE IGNITION RECALL OR ANY OTHER RECALL. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN I HIT A HARD BUMP IN THE ROAD, AGAIN AT VARIOUS SPEEDS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO MY MECHANIC, BUT HE WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I'VE DECIDED TO ASK THE DEALER IF THEY KNOW OF ANY RELATED PROBLEMS AND SEE WHAT RESPONSE I GET, BUT I...

FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW, VEHICLE WILL NOT START. TURN KEY, NO CLICK, NO CRANK, NOTHING. ALL STANDARD DASH LIGHT COME ON, HEADLIGHTS ARE BRIGHT, ALL ACCESSORY ITEMS WORK FINE, JUST NO START. HAVE TAKEN TRUCK IN TO DEALERSHIP TWICE NOW FOR PROBLEM, AND NO RESOLUTION. STARTS EVERY TIME FOR THEM. LAST TIME TOOK KEY AND PAPERWORK, WENT OUT TO LOT, GOT IN, AND NO START, WENT BACK IN TO DEALERSHIP, FINALLY GRABBED MECHANIC, WENT TO TRUCK, BUT IT STARTED OK. MAY NOT FAIL AGAIN FOR A DAY OR MORE, THEN FAIL SEVERAL TIMES IN SAME DAY. FAILED TO START TODAY AFTER PULLING INTO GAS STATION AND GETTING FUEL, WOULD NOT START. LONG LINE OF CARS BEHIND ME AND SITUATION GOT VERY UGLY FAST. STATION OWNER/WORKER HELPED DIFFUSE SITUATION. IF YOU LET VEHICLE SIT FOR 10-15 MINUTES BETWEEN RETRIES, IT MAY START. *JS
