When attempting to turn left onto a highway from a stop sign, the transmission failed to engage, with a 2-second delay before engaging and accelerating into the turn. As a result of the delay, I was nearly hit by oncoming traffic. This vehicle model, 2016 GMC Canyon, has a history of not being in the proper gear when stopped or moving at speeds below 3-5 mph. This issue has happened to me over 100 times in the first 6 months of ownership, but this was the first time I nearly had a dangerous collision. GMC should correct this problem with the transmission not being in the proper gear for being stopped or for extremely low speeds.
