Wiper Problems of GMC Canyon

GMC issued a service bulletin #16019 stating that the hvac temperature control valve (no. 15-51369) was prone to break causing the defrost to become inoperable. This is clearly a safety concern. However, GMC did not issue a recall. In addition, GMC had a limited time window for customers to address the problem. The dealerships were instructed to examine the part and if faulty, replace it. My GMC Canyon did not experience this problem until after the service bulletin expired. GMC stated that this was not a safety recall. Is visibility not a safety hazard?.

Headlights began flickering two days after purchase of vehicle. Infotainment screen that operates the headlights, as there is no physical headlight knobs or buttons, also malfunction and is inoperable. So I can not turn my headlights on or off, they're set to auto and I can not adjust it. Service department at my dealership has been able to replicate my issues and are trying to fix them, but parts availability is an issue. Gm has informed me that the parts are delayed with no eta of when they would be available. Issues with the headlights flickering could lead other drivers to think I'm flashing my lights at them as I'm telling them to go ahead and that could cause a wreck. Also with the flickering there is a chance that the lights could completely cut off or go out and if I'm driving at night that would be a very big issue. Especially since the infotainment screen that I need to operate the headlight functions is also inoperable. The infotainment screen is also on national backorder per gm. Gm documented with document id 6691954 "#pit6203: headlamp or drl flicker or flash (July 16, 2024) possible hazards include oncoming drivers being flashed from flicker. Oncoming drivers thinking they're being signaled by the flicker. Pedestrians or cyclists thinking the flash or flicker is signaling them to proceed and that vehicle operator will yield. Possible that headlamps will stay off when they flicker, rendering the driver unable to see during night driving.

Gm is pushing updates over the air that are permanently disabling the backup camera by damaging the camera control module. Not sure yet how long we’ll have to wait for the part. I’ve heard of many that have been waiting months. They should not be pushing out defective software when it takes out the safety equipment.

Windshield defrost failed when hvac module temp door failed similarly to failures in 2015 and 2016 year models. GMC confirmed and repaired the 2015 and 2016 model years; but, has so far refused to acknowledge or repair my 2017 model; even though, from information available to me, it is the same part with the same problem. The dealership quoted me $2,500 for repairs.

Passenger rear defrost not working on that 1/3 of the rear window.

The transmission does not down shift when climbing a small hill in normal traffic at normal speeds. I constantly have to use the manual transmission to make the truck downshift or I have to press on the grass in order to bring the rpm up a little higher using more fuel than required. This in itself is dangerous since I am in then middle of traffic. When I purchased the truck none of the recall were on carafe nor did the dealer inform me that this vehicle type and model has already had several recalls affecting its performance and safety. There is also something wrong with the defrost system whether its on heat or cool. There is a rattling noise that can be heard over the fan noise when the vehicle air conditioner is switch to the defrost mode. I am truly disappointed and very concerned for my safety. Gm should have pulled this vehicle off the market!.

(3rd) - occurrence of the following same problem. . . . The heater and defroster systems in my new 2015 GMC Canyon produce only cold air, regardless of the settings. This creates a fog film on the inside of the windshield making the Canyon inoperable due to lack of visibility. The GMC dealer has already replaced several "heater/defroster", but the new system continues to fail. The lack of heat problem occurs at all times (I. E. Manual key start, remote start, cold engine start, warm engine start, etc. ).

An incident identical to the description of recall 11v-276 occurred. Snow and ice were present. This rendered the driver's side wiper inoperable, leaving the field of the windshield and ending past the driver's door.
