general problems of the 2004 GMC Canyon

After reading a post from the 116 affected GMC Canyon owners I have the exact same problem. Last month June 2019 while driving home from work my ac just quit working (hot weather in sacramento), no matter what speed it was on 1 through 4. I also smelt a burning smell. Today while driving my truck to the realer to get it analyzed I hit a bump and the blower started working again on speed 4. Bob from john l sullivan chevy just called to confirm the diagnosis. . . The connector that connects to the blower was melted and the resister was burnt.

The contact owns 2004 GMC Canyon. The contact stated that the ignition failed to start. The contact mentioned that the ignition had to be turned lightly and released quickly in order to start the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 129,000.

Reference recalls on report receipt date: Apr 27, 2006 NHTSA campaign number: 06v139000 component(s): exterior lighting report receipt date: Jul 29, 2009 NHTSA campaign number: 09v310000 component(s): exterior lighting my 2004 GMC Canyon break light went out on me on 8/8/2013. The break light out was a safety concern for tailgaters. So I took to mark christopher GMC dealer, ontario CA for repair because of two same recalls on the vehicle plus transmission oil change. Orginal estimation of cost was 305. The dealer decided to charge me 155 for transmission oil change and labor, $16. 75 for a defective/malfunction brake switch and $200 on labor. They told me the recalls was done already on the vehicle and there is no warranty on the second attempt. The final estimation of cost was $377. I don't recall the date that it was serviced. How can GMC assures that the vehicle recalls was done properly? I'm very disappointed with GMC and it recalls. I felt like I got rip off by the dealer. Beside, I don't know if they ever change my transmission oil filter and casket along with the transmission oil change.

I just read a jalopnik article on a recall of the g3 hummer and the question why the Canyon/colorado was not included. A few years back the blower fan quit working on low settings. I found a tech tip that suggested I replace the fan resistor, which I did. I remember when I replaced it there was brown marks on the resistor and plug at the electrical connectors. While I did not suffer a fire like some others, this is a real problem with these rigs. Thought you should know. . .

Brake lights stopping working and door locks and controllable to and windows to.

2004 GMC Canyon, 113,000 miles. About a year ago started having starting problems. Changed fuel pump, out of my pocket, truck out of warranty. $400 later truck still had starting problems. Noticed when it won't start passlock light is on. Have to wait 10 minutes or so then it'll start. Happening more frequent now. Dealer wants $90 to diagnose plus cost of parts & labor. I've noticed quite a few other Canyon owners having same problem. How many vehicles will this have to effect before recall is done? this problem has been going on with my truck since 2008. I have just dealt with it since I don't have the money to dump into the dealers hands while they play the process of elimination game.
