2009 Gmc Canyon Complaints

I SENT IN THIS COMPLAINT A YEAR AGO AND NEVER HEARD BACK FROM YOU. THROTTLE STICKS ON MY CANYON AND IT APPEARS TO BE COMPUTER RELATED. IT CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE EVEN AFTER TAKING MY FOOT "OFF THE GAS." IT WILL REV DOWN AFTER HITTING THE BRAKE PEDAL. HAVE YOU HEARD OF THIS BEFORE? TRUCK IS STANDARD SHIFT AND USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN "GOING THROUGH THE GEARS". *TR

WHEN STEPPING ON BRAKE PEDAL YOU STEP ON GAS PEDAL AT SAME TIME, NO PROPER SPACE BETWEEN THE TWO PEDALS. INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN VEHICLE KEEPS GOING. SEEMS UNSAFE. *TR

THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND GOING THROUGH THE GEARS WHEN ACCELERATING QUICKLY, THE ACCELERATOR HAS STUCK EVEN WHEN MY FOOT IS TAKEN OFF OF THE PEDAL. THIS HAPPENS AS I AM SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR, WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS THEN PUSH IN THE CLUTCH AND SHIFT GEAR AND RELEASE THE CLUTCH, THE COMPUTER DOES NOT RESPOND TO MY FOOT COMING OFF THE THROTTLE. THE TRUCK CONTINUES TO ACCELERATE EVEN WITH MY FOOT OFF OF THE THROTTLE. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE ACCELERATION IS TO REPEATEDLY TAP THE PEDAL UNTIL IT RELEASES. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I THOUGHT THAT I MIGHT HAVE INADVERTENTLY HIT THE CRUISE CONTROL BUT THIS IS NOT THE CASE. IT SEEMS THAT I NEED TO ALLOW APPROXIMATELY A ONE SECOND DELAY FROM WHEN I REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE THROTTLE UNTIL I PUSH IN THE CLUTCH TO AVOID THIS SITUATION. IS THIS TYPICAL OF TODAY'S COMPUTER CONTROLLED VEHICLES? *TR

MY HUSBAND'S BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT ON HIS 2009 GMC CANYON. HE TOOK IT TO A DEALER TO HAVE IT FIXED. WE READ ONLINE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR HIS BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. THEY CHECKED HIS VIN AND SAID THERE WASN'T ANYTHING. IT ISN'T THE BULBS, FUSE, ETC. THEY "FIXED" IT AND SAID "IT'LL EITHER WORK FOR THE NEXT 5 MIN OR IT WON'T WORK AT ALL." AND HANDED HIM THE KEYS. HE DROVE IT AND SURE ENOUGH, THE LIGHTS WENT OUT, AGAIN. HE TOOK IT BACK AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. "IT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK, YADA YADA..." WHY WOULD THEY HAND THEM THE KEYS PLUS ALLOW IT PASS FOR INSPECTION IF IT DOES NOT WORK? AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, THE WORK HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED. MY HUSBAND RECENTLY GOT OUT OF THE USMC AND HAS YET TO FIND WORK. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP TAKING IT BACK OR YET PAY FOR A TICKET!!!! *TR

ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM WOULD NOT ALLOW THE TRUCK TO START, THEN ONCE STARTED THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD COMPONENTS FAILED NO SPEEDOMETER, FUEL, TEMP OR AIR CONDITIONER WOULD WORK, ALSO THE TRACTION CONTROL WENT INTO ALARM... GMC PEOPLE SAID THEY COULD NOT SEE ANY ALARM CODES AND FAILED TO REPAIR THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM... RECOMMENDED I GET ON-STAR TO HELP IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM.. I DID, IT FAILED AGAIN AND ON-STAR SAW THE CODES HOWEVER GMC SAYS THEY CANNOT TRUST ON-STAR FINDINGS, EVEN THOUGH THEY RECOMMENDED THEM WHICH IS COSTING ME $30.00 A MONTH TO MONITOR THEIR VEHICLES WARRANTY.. STILL DRIVING A TRUCK THAT SOMETIMES DOES NOT START AND THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING... VERY DANGEROUS.
