As I was pulling away from the stop sign my power steering quit working and I was almost hit by another vehicle. The dash light flashed and said there was drive system problems. I was able to get the truck turned back around and headed back home. I got into my garage and checked the power steering fluid and it was full. I started my truck back up and was able to drive to the dealership (everett GMC where I purchased the truck new) the service representative said he will put it on the diagnostic machine and find out what was wrong.

5 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2016

We recently purchased a 2016 Canyon truck for about 45k with the new small diesel engine. On 10-19-16 we took it in to dealership for routine service and a major loud vibration rattling under the dash in the passenger air bag area. When we picked vehicle up we were told that they did not have a fix for noise coming from under dash air bag area and others Canyons have been in for the same problem and that they are dealership waiting on procedure from GMC for fix? we have a concern that this could be a safety issue, since noise is coming from air bag area and would like your expeditious attention regarding this matter.
