2015 GMC Canyon Steering

MY CANYON TRUCK STEERING STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING AND IT IS VERY HARD TO TURN IF IT WOULD OF BEEN ANY FASTER I WOULD OF CRASHED AND IT DOES NOT RETURN . I WAS READING THE RECALL ON THAT YEAR GMC SAY IT COMES BACK ,THAT IS FALSE ONCE THE ISSUE A RAISES YOU DO HAVE CONTROL OF VEHICLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE FOR THE STEERING TO RETURN TO NORMAL. THE DEALER (LAVERY AUTOMOTIVE SALES AND SERVICE, 1096 W STATE ST, ALLIANCE, OH 44601, (330) 238-4178) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANEUVER THE STEERING WHEEL AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WITH EXTREME DIFFICULTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING) ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER AND MCCONNELL AUTOMOTIVE (3150 DAUPHIN ST, MOBILE, AL 36606, (251) 476-4141); ALTHOUGH, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED THE SAME FAILURE AS LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE TRUCK WILL LOSE POWER STEERING AT ANY TIME OR SPEED WHILE THE TRUCK IS MOVING. THE MESSAGE ON THE DASH READS SERVICE STEERING ASSIST. WHEN I AM DRIVING IT CAN PULL THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF YOUR HANDS IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. I REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALER AND GMC LAST YEAR THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG BUT IT IS STILL DOING IT. WHEN YOU CAN GET THE TRUCK TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURN IT OFF AND BACK ON IT IS FINE FOR A WHILE AND IT WILL DO IT AGAIN THE SAME WAY.NOW DEALER IS SAYING THE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY NEEDS REPLACING AT A VERY HIGH PRICE. I THINK ITS ELECTRICAL. THERE IS A RECALL FOR A PLUG BUT FOR SOME REASON MY TRUCK DOES NOT FALL UNDER THAT RECALL BUT IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SEVERELY HURT OR KILLED BY THIS PROBLEM. THEY NEED TO FIX THIS AT THEIR COST NOT MINE. WORRIED.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK, I HAD A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST AND MY DASHBOARD DISPLAYED WARNINGS. I WAS ON ABLE TO STEER THE TRUCK AND ALMOST VEERED OFF THE ROAD. I HAD TO STOP ABRUPTLY. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE TRUCK. THE POWER STEERING AGAIN WORKED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ELECTRIC BELT DRIVE RACK AND PINION STEERING GEAR. THEY SAID THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION IN THE ELECTRONIC STEERING GEAR. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE IN RECALL NUMBER 15595B. THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED ON THE RECALL AND THAT IT WAS MANUFACTURED A COUPLE MONTHS BEFORE THE RECALL DATES. IT IS OBVIOUSLY THE SAME ISSUE SO I CALLED GM AND THEY JUST WERE TALKING IN CIRCLES. I CANNOT AFFORD A $2000 REPAIR. IT IS SO OBVIOUS IT IS THE SAME ISSUE AND NOT TO RECOGNIZE IT IS CRIMINAL IN MY OPINION. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THEY NEED TO FIX THIS BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED ON THE ROAD.

STEERING ASSISTANCE STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING COULDN'T TURN ALMOST CRASHED LIGHT CAME ON AND POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON IT

2015 GMC CANYON. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO POWER STEERING FAILURE. *LD *TR

THE POWER STEERING ASSISTANT ON THIS CAR IS TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING. I ALREADY TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALER THEY CHARGED ME $1000 FOR A CABLE AND THE CAR STILL DOING THE SAME THING AND YOU HAVE A RECALL ON THIS CAR BUT THIS ONE IS NOT IN THE MONTHS THAT THE RECALL WAS MADE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE STABILIZER WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PREMIER GMC (2000 EASTERN RD, RITTMAN, OH 44270, (888) 564-1107) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE RACK AND PINION NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000. *AS *JS *TR

I DROVE THE PICKUP TO WORK. AFTER BEING PARKED A COUPLE OF HOURS I STARTED IT TO RETURN HOME. UPON STARTING, A WARNING ABOUT THE NEED TO SERVICE THE POWER STEERING ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH DISPLAY. STEERING WAS EXTREMELY HEAVY AND DIFFICULT. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP. AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE STEERING BOX WOULD NEED REPLACEMENT. THE TRUCK HAS 8100 TOTAL MILES.THAT FIGURE IS NOT A MISPRINT, IT HAS LESS THAN 10,000 MILES. HAD THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING, THE RESULT COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. APPARENTLY, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2015 CANYON AND HAS HAD CERTAIN VEHICLES RECALLED, DEPENDENT ON BUILD DATE. A BRIEF INTERNET SEARCH PRODUCED APPROXIMATELY 30 OTHER CANYONS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP IS ATTEMPTING TO CONVINCE THE REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE FROM GMC TO COVER THE REPAIR. THE TRUCK WAS ONE MONTH OUT OF WARRANTY.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN THE VEHICLE. THE DASH GAVE A WARNING THAT READ POWER STEERING. DRIVE WITH CARE. I STOPED THE VEHICLE, TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN AND IT SEEMED TO RESET AND WORKED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE LAST TWO DAYS. I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2015 GMC CANYON FOR THIS ISSUE BUT MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 25 MPH THE FIRST TIME AND ABOUT 45 MPH THE SECOND TIME ON CITY STREET. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE THE TRUCK WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I JUST BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED LAST WEEK SO I DO NOT KNOW IF THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE LOST ALL POWER STEERING AFTER GETTING 2 SERVICE WARNINGS. IN THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE WITH ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST STEERING, IT IS INCREASING DIFFICULT TO STEER. (WORSE THAN AN OLD TRUCK WITHOUT POWER STEERING) IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY, IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN SUDDENLY, I CAN NOT SEE HOW IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I AM GETTING 2 WARNINGS. THE FIRST IS TO "SERVICE STABILITRACK" AT THE SAME TIME, "SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE". AT THIS POINT I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING. THE ERRORS OCCUR WHEN DRIVING, AND HAVE ALWAYS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY AND INTERSTATE SPEEDS (40+ MPH?). IN ALL INITIAL INSTANCES, THE TRUCK WAS TRAVELING ON WELL MAINTAINED ROADS, WHICH WERE STRAIGHT. I WAS NOT MAKING ANY TURNS SUCH AS A TRAFFIC SIGNAL OR INTERSECTION. ON OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL OVER, STOP, TURN THE TRUCK OFF, RESTART AND THE ERROR CLEARS. IN THE LAST 2 DAYS I HAVE CLEARED THE ERROR, BUT IT RETURNS WITH THE SAME RESULT, NO POWER STEERING. AFTER READING SOME REVIEWS ONLINE, IT SEEMS TO BE A SOMEWHAT COMMON ISSUE, AND MOST RESULT IN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING. MY TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AND THE PART WAS NOT IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE (POSSIBLY SHOWING THE NUMBER OF ISSUES??) THE DEALERSHIP HAS STATED THAT IT IS THE 'STEERING GEAR', OR RACK & PINION WHICH HAS FAILED. THE VEHICLE HAS ADDITIONALLY HAD A RECALL FOR SIMILAR ISSUES, BUT THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT IT WAS FOR A 'SOFTWARE UPDATE'. THIS IS SAID TO HAVE BEEN THE FIX IN OTHER SIMILAR SITUATIONS. I SEE THIS AS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, THE MOST SERIOUS I HAVE HAD IN ANY TRUCK I HAVE OWNED. THIS IS THE REASON FOR FILING THIS REPORT.

STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING TO THE LEFT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE SO FAR, LUCKILY IT HAD RETURNED TO NORMAL QUICKLY. GM HAS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT ONLY VEHICLES MADE JAN.2015 THRU MARCH 19, 2015. MY TRUCK WAS MADE ON MARCH 27, 2015. THIS PROBLEM JUST SHOWED UP NATURALLY AFTER WARRANTY.VEHICLE HAS 50,501 MILES. I HAVE ALSO HEARD OF 2017 MODELS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED!

HAVING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH POWER STEERING FAILURE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I HAVE TO STOP THE TRUCK TURN IT OFF TO GET IT TO RESET. SOME DAYS IT MAY TAKE TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE 15 TO 20 TIMES BEFORE IT WILL RESET

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE OPERATED, BUT EXCESSIVE EFFORT WAS NEEDED TO TURN THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 38,295.

WHILE DRIVING , LOST POWER STEERING ASSIST, VERY HARD TO STEER. TOOK TO DEALER AND GOT THE FOLLOWING ERROR CODE - C0545 - STEERING WHEEL TORQUE SENSOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AND IN BOTH OCCASIONS, IT IS VERY HARD TO STEER . IN BOTH INSTANCES, DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND VERY HARD TO PULL OVER. ONCE YOU E ERROR DISSAPEARS

POWER STEERING FAILED ON HIGHWAY AND VEHICLE WAS VERY HARD TO STEER AND CONTROL. WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER OFF THE HIGHWAY. DANGEROUS.

OCCASIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING A WARNING CHIME SOUNDS AND POWER STEERING FAILS. IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE TRUCK AND TWO WARNINGS ARE DISPLAYED, "POWER STEERING DISABLED" AND "STABILITRAK OFF". IF I PULL OVER, STOP, AND TURN OFF THE ENGINETHE PROBLEM CLEARS UPON RESTART. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING SLOWLY AND AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY WITH INCREASING MILEAGE. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 70K BUT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE ABOUT 40K.

POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THERE IS A RECALL ON 2015 GMC CANYON BUILT BETWEEN JANUARY 6 AND MARCH 15, 2015. I PURCHASED MY GMC ON DECEMBER 23, 2014. I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE ON MARCH 4, 2015. IT IS VERY CONCERNING WITH THE STEERING GOES OUT AS IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STEER. I AM TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT APPLY TO THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH MY PRODUCTION DATE FALLS WITHIN THE CRITERIA. MY VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT CHARACTERISTICS OF THE RECALL. THE DEALER DID INFORM ME THAT THERE WAS A RESET FOR MY POWER STEERING, WHICH I PAID THEM $50 TO DO AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. YOUR ASSISTANCE WITH THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 20-60 MPH, THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTIONED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS. AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING OPERATED AS NORMAL. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FOUNTAIN AUTO MALL (8701 S ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL, ORLANDO, FL 32809, (407) 240-3800). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TODAY, I STARTED THE TRUCK, A WARNING SAID POWER STEERING WAS OUT, HAVE IT SERVICED. COULD HARDLY MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. TOOK IT RIGHT TO THE DEALER. SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. SERVICE GUY CAME OUT TURNED IT ON, STEERING WAS O.K. HE TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT AROUND AND IF THE PROBLEM OCCURS AGAIN BRING IT BACK.

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH A MESSAGE TO SERVICE THE STABILTRAK COMES UP AND THE VEHICLE LOSES POWER STEERING ASSIST. THE VEHICLE IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN AT THAT POINT. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON THE ERROR CLEARS AND THE VEHICLE DRIVES LIKE NORMAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING ASSIST FAILED NEEDED TO BE RECALIBRATED AND/OR REPLACED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DECLINED TO ASSIST SINCE THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V054000 (STEERING). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

MY 2015 GMC CANYON LOST POWER STEERING TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 50MPH ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD ON ONE OF THE FIRST RAINY DAYS OF THE SEASON. IT FELT LIKE LOSING MORE THAN JUST STEERING ASSISTANCE, AS EVEN AT THAT RATE OF SPEED THE WHEEL WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN. I WAS LUCKY TO BE ON ONE OF THE LIMITED SECTIONS OF STRAIGHT ROAD. REBOOTING THE VEHICLE RETURNED STEERING FUNCTIONALITY. DEALER FOUND CODE "C0545 - STEERING TORQUE SENSOR" AND PERFORMED SAFETY RECALL #15595 WHERE THEY REPLACED THE TORQUE SENSOR COVER. I WAS CHARGED $200 FOR THE REPAIR DESPITE THE RECALL NOTICE EXPLICITLY STATING IT SHOULD BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED LOSS OF POWER STEERING IN THE MONTH SINCE THE REPAIR. I CONTACTED THE GM REGIONAL REP, WHO STATED THAT CARS CAN HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS A SAFETY RECALL, AND THE SAME SOLUTION AS A SAFETY RECALL, BUT NOT BE PART OF THE SAFETY RECALL. THAT WAS THE JUSTIFICATION FOR THE $200 CHARGE AND THE DENIAL OF REIMBURSEMENT. GM FURTHER STATED THAT THEY DON'T DETERMINE THE CRITERIA FOR A SAFETY RECALL, IT IS ALL UP TO THE NHTSA. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY WON'T DO THE RIGHT THING UNLESS THE GOVERNMENT FORCES THEM TO. IN MY OPINION AS AN ENGINEER, SENSOR + RAIN SOUNDS LIKE A PLAUSIBLE MATCH FOR THE SYMPTOMS AND THE PROBLEM IDENTIFIED BY THE SAFETY RECALL THAT THE DEALER PERFORMED. I QUESTION WHETHER THE RECALL IS MISSING SOME VIN NUMBERS, OR IF A VERY SIMILAR BUT INDEPENDENT PROBLEM EXISTS ON THE SAME COMPONENTS, WARRANTING A SEPARATE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC CANYON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE POWER STEERING STABILITY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (MCGRATH BUICK GMC CADILLAC, 1040 N CENTER POINT RD, HIAWATHA, IA 52233) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,608.
