| The abs fault light comes on and the abs system starts trying to over work. this in my opinion is a safety hazard. i have had this looked at and have been told it's a known issue, however no recall. second issue:hvac system has a known issue where it keeps over heating and the hvac harness has to be replaced, after being burned. this is also a safety issue. my vehicle is out of warranty now. im sure you have other folks reporting these issues...just look at the forums on the internet... *tr | |||

| The resistor in the fan kept burning out and had been replaced. finally it was determined that the wiring harness was malfunctioning and required replacement. i believe this is a known defect, yet nothing was done by gm. *tr | |||

| I have a 2005 gmc canyon that i purchased two years ago used with about 30k miles on it. it has 60k miles now and i noticed the brake lights are staying on. i googled and found that this truck is included in a regional recall for this model. i called gm and they told me the vin is not in the recall and i will have to pay for it. i am having the exact same problem to the letter that the recall addresses. nhtsa should look at making this recall a national recall and not a regional recall. *tr | |||

| Twice the resistor on the a/c heating fan blower switch has malfunctioned. it only works on 4 (lots of noise and strong breeze). it is not covered under warranty. the vehicle on has 37,000 miles on it. the problem is intermittent, although more not working than working by a margin of 80% to 20%. *tr | |||

| 2005 gmc canyon - fire and cross circuits after having burn wire case smells,smoke, indication of airbag failure, fan motor and interior lights remained on after vehicle was shut down it was discovered that a main wire bundle that is subject to abrasion by components of the brake system at a location where the bundle goes through a hole in the fire wall. the vehicle operator may notice changes in the fan speed and other dash indication on left turns, bumps, etc. before fire and smoke. it should be noted that the short and cross system power feed will not cause system safety fuses to blow. operator may also notice that the keyless entry system will fail to work or the range will decrease greatly and the fan and interior lights with remain on after the vehicle is shut down and the door is closed. note: this wire bundle is not properly protected from damage by the brake system parts. *tr | |||

| Air conditioning fan abruptly stopped working on all fan speeds except 4, the highest position. checked internet for possible solutions and found that there have been numerous failures exactly like mine. all involved the blower motor resistor assembly, connector and/or wiring harness shorting out. scortching the connectors, resistor assembly and causing the plastic to melt/burn. gm parts at local dealership had replacement parts and i was able to resolve the problem. speaking a gm service advisor, he confirmed that there are numerous repair problems with these parts on the gmc canyon/ chevrolet colorado 2004-2007. but no explanation for why they are failing. numerous internet reports with photo's showing damage and explaining problem most requiring multiple or repeated repairs. old parts are available. *tr | |||

| Brand new truck, have owned almost 1 year. had to take truck in for slow acceleration problem as well as hard to crank. could not pull out into traffic, had to wait until there was no one on the road because i would try to accelerate then it would stop/pause for a second then start to go again. took my truck to the dealership which they found one of the heads in the engine needed to be replaced. (which at first they told me i had a slow misfire on piston #2 and they had to replace a spring and a coil) a month later i finally got my truck back. one week later i heard a knocking noise so i took my truck back to dealership and was told my oil was low so they topped it off (didn't work by the way). still having hard time cranking periodically throughout the day. took it back to the dealership, they kept my truck for 4 days and said they could not find anything wrong with it except a loose starter bolt that they tightened. truck still cranking funny but was told there was nothing further they could do for me. *jb | |||
