One problem related to transmission shudder has been reported for the 2016 GMC Canyon. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2016 GMC Canyon based on all problems reported for the 2016 Canyon.
Transmission consistently shudders when accelerating in all driving conditions and speeds, and sometimes goes to higher rpms when engine is warm and restarted. Dealer said this was normal when recently brought in. It was not showing any codes. Dealer said not to keep 4x4 in auto mode. Less than a week after receiving truck back from dealer, a 4 wheel drive warning message was displayed and the car would not go into 4 wheel drive or auto. Message and problem comes and goes. Shuddering should not occur and keeping in auto more during rain and cold weather is a safety precaution that should not be an issue.
