2009 Gmc Canyon Complaints

EVERY FEW DAYS THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START.... THE SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON.. YOU HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND WAIT FOR ABOUT 10 TO 15 MINUTES FOR THE COMPUTER TO RESET BEFORE YOU CAN RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST ONCE TO TWICE A WEEK STARTING SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE... I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WHAT BECAUSE IT DID NOT DO IT TO THEM. I ASKED IF THEY STARTED IT AND DROVE IT SEVERAL TIMES FOR A FEW DAYS LIKE I DO AND THEY SAID NO THEY JUST PUT IT ON A MACHINE AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS I FEEL WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN I BOUGHT IT OR HAPPENED FOR SOME REASON SHORTLY AFTER WHEN I STILL SHOULD HAVE HAD A FACTORY WARRANTY... SO IT SHOULD BE FIXED AT NO CHARGE TO ME... IT IS OBVIOUSLY A FACTOR SECURITY DEFECT. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 7 MONTHS AND I AM TIRED OF HAVING TO DEAL WITH IT AND ALL THEY TELL ME IS WE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING...

MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON UNEXPECTEDLY AND REMAINED ON. THE CAUSE WAS DUE TO BROKEN AIRBAG (ORANGE WIRING IN THE EXTENDED CAB DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR. UPON INSPECTION, SEVERAL WIRES (AIR BAG (ORANGE), A SPEAKER WIRE (BROWN) WERE COMPLETELY BROKEN. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN EXTREMELY COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVY COLORADOS/GMC CANYONS WITH EXTENDED CABS AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER. THE AIRBAG SHOULDN'T BE COMPROMISED BECAUSE OF A POOR WIRING DESIGN IN THE REAR DOOR. *TR

TO START OUT I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT THIS IS MY FIRST BRAND NEW VEHICLE I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. I WAS ON I 475 DRIVING APPROX. 65 MPH WHEN I LOST ALL POWER TO MY TRUCK AND WAS BARELY ABLE TO COAST OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO THE NEAREST GMC DEALERSHIP TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP FLOW CONTROL MODULE. I RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AT HOME AND FOUND OUT THAT 2009 GMC CANYONS WERE RECALLED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THE RECALL STATED THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM CONTROL MODULES HAVE A CONDITION IN WHICH AN ADHESIVE SEPARATION OF THE RTV SEAL BETWEEN THE SEAL AND THE HOUSING MAY ALLOW WATER TO SEEP INTO THE MODULE. WATER IN THE MODULE COULD CAUSE A SHORT, ILLUMINATION OF THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT (WHICH WAS ON IN MY TRUCK). ALSO THE ENGINE MAY BE HARD TO START, MAY NOT START OR MAY STALL. IF THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE IT IS MOVING, A CRASH MAY OCCUR! HELLO, THIS HAPPENED TO ME BUT I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO NOT CRASH AND DIE. SO BACK TO THE RECAL...

WE WERE AT FAMILY GATHERING WHEN A NEIGHBOR CALLED AND SAID THE BLACK TRUCK IS ON FIRE. I RUSHED OUT THE DOOR TO INVESTIGATE AND THERE WAS A FIRE INSIDE THE CAB ON DRIVERS SIDE IN REAR SECTION. I STARTED SPRAYING IT WITH A WATER HOSE AND CALLED 911. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT CAME EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND FILLED FUEL TANK WITH WATER JUST IN CASE THEY SAID IT LOOKED LIKE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL STARTED THE FIRE IN THAT SECTION OF THE TRUCK. FIRE MARSHALL GOING COMPLETE INVESTIGATION AND INSURANCE WAS CALLED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 GMC CANYON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL.
