2024 Gmc Canyon Complaints

Vehicle brakes stopped working while driving. Dash board lit up and stated system brake failure. Also stated “do not exceed 43mph”

The contact owns a 2024 GMC Canyon. While the contact’s son was driving approximately 35 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to slow for a traffic signal and the brake pedal was stiff. The contact stated that his son needed to use force to depress the brake pedal. There were several unknown warning lights on the instrument cluster. The contact stated that the phone app showed a failure with the ABS. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer. The dealer was not able to duplicate the failure and cleared the codes from the warning lights but provided no information on the fault codes. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 11,000.

The Driver Information Center located directly in front of the driver that contains the speedometer, tachometer, oil pressure...etc., has a very distracting background. The background is a geometric patterns of triangles giving a sense of depth. This is very distracting especially at night. Quick looks to see speed, engine temperature or other critical vehicle information is complicated by this unnecessary aesthetic background. I reported this problem and it can be located here: [XXX] I've been advised to mail via USPS my concern to The Office of Defect Investigation Team which I will do today.

Propulsion of vehicle. Truck lost power as I was trying to pull into traffic at an intersection. Yes, it was confirmed by the dealer; truck was returned after 3 incidents. GM has been inspected the truck. Yes: check engine light immediately came on, and a comment then stated onscreen: "caution. Your vehicle has lost power and is operating at a reduced capacity". First occasion, truck was approx 6 months old. Second was 1 month later. Third and dangerous incident occurred June 11th 2025. Dealer keeps saying the truck is OK. Failure to propel keeps happening. Service supervisor tells me truck needs a new module, but GM won't approve it. Truck is still at the dealer, and issue has been escalated twice. Truck still at dealer.

The vehicle does not have a manual switch for the headlight control. The only way to control the headlights is through the digital control interface on the infotainment console panel. The headlight controller button is so small that a person has to take their eyes off the road for a long time making it a very unsafe condition. If a deer was in your lane you could not turn your lights on and off quick enough to maybe un shine the deer so in would move while honking your horn. It is just totally unsafe as a hole when you’re not looking down the road while driving. If you had the switch you can always feel around for it much safer than taking your eys off the road while driving.
