  Risk: If the inflator separates from the back plate in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, this may cause the air bag or steering wheel components to separate and be propelled into the interior compartment, potentially seriously injuring the driver or other occupants. Additionally, the air bag may fail to properly inflate, increasing the risk of injury to the driver.

  Fix: GM has notified owners, and dealers will inspect the driver air bag module inflator for proper alignment, replacing the air bag, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began March 19, 2015.

The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 MPH, the "Power Steering Assist Lost" message displayed, and the steering wheel became stiff and difficult to turn in either direction. The vehicle was parked, and upon restarting the engine, the failure self-corrected. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V213000 (Steering). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 224,000.

    Power steering and stabalink malfunction causing a radom and very dangerous complete power steering failure. GM was forced to do two recalls for this failure, one in 2016 and another in 2021 but they excluded any Canyon made after May of 2015. The recall should include these as well because their claimed fix did no such thing which is very dangerous to the occupants of the Canyon as well as other vehicle occupants on the road.

    Was driving my truck and would randomly lose power steering while driving. When the power steering cut out it would jerk the steering wheel to the left a little bit and if I pulled over and turned the key off and turned it back on, it would reset and start working until it happened again, which could be five minutes later or 20 minutes later. It would cut out at any given time. I am the second owner of this vehicle and once this problem started happening I looked into it and found out that there was a recall on this, and the recall had been satisfied in 2021 but the problem obviously was not fixed. Tried calling several dealerships with no luck and was forced to get it fixed at my regular shop at a cost of $3023.07. I have receipts for the repair. This is clearly an issue that was never resolved.

    Driving I15 and went to take my exit and the power steering went out and I almost rolled the truck now the eps won’t even come on. There needs to be a recall for my vin like there is for all other trucks that year. There was no warning just shut off immediately if my wife was driving she would’ve rolled the truck. It hasn’t been looked at but there is a ton of recalls for the same issue with 2015 and for some reason my vin is not listed. This needs to be solved asap as this is my only vehicle that I use to take to work

    the system failure is the power steering control module rack and components The safety risk is loss of power steering assist, no traction control, StabiliTrak message on dash, abs and traction control lights is on, don't feel safe to drive. The problem is confirmed by a dealer. The component has not been inspected. Yes, there are warning messages on the dash, and they appear in February 2022. A loss or reduction in power steering assist may increase the risk of a crash. In my opinion, this issue has to be solved and fixed by the dealer at no cost to the customer.

    While driving the vehicle, the power steering suddenly went out. My teenage son was driving and luckily he's had training on this in Driver's Ed or it could have caused a major accident. It has since happened to me while on the freeway and while going up our driveway. I took it into the dealership where I purchased it and they could find nothing wrong, but clearly something is wrong with the wire harness or power steering. I suspect the parts used were part of an earlier recall on GMC Canyon's as the recall ended with vehicles only a month older than mine.

A FAILED STEERING ASSEMBLY." AFTER RESEARCHING AND FINDING THAT THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2015 CANYON AND COLORADO, I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF A STEERING RECALL AND THAT IT WILL BE $2,300 TO FIX IT.

    GMC Service Bulletin - PI1429B Ignition Key cannot be removed and /or does not rotate to the off position. If you place the truck in park and turn off the switch - the key does not rotate to the off position (it only goes to the accessory position) so you cannot remove the key. You have to start it back up and move the truck forward and backward a number of times until the key is able to be removed. There are numerous posts on GMC and Chevrolet forums throughout the internet on this same issue. Cannot imagine why this safety concern is not being addressed with a recall. Gear shift assembly or Part # 23397472 is the most common posts. This happened numerous times but on 03/23/2022 it has happened every time I have tried to turn the truck off.

The dash lights stay on during the period the key is stuck and the battery dies. I have to leave my truck unattended, for extended amounts of time, with the key in the ignition. This has been going on since two years after the purchase of the truck, as new, in 2015. Technicians and the dealership have not been able to repair. An online search indicates this is a widespread issue and Gm has issued a bulletin. This needs to be a recall.

    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?

  • Filed Dec 2025

    I own a 2015 GMC Canyon that developed repeated and serious fuel-system and engine problems beginning around 56,000 miles. The vehicle experienced fuel contamination (water in the fuel system), multiple fuel injectors failing and sticking open, repeated misfires across several cylinders, and engine stalling/shutdown while driving. The truck was towed multiple times and repaired repeatedly by an authorized GMC dealership. Repairs included injector replacements, fuel pipe replacement, fuel-system cleaning, and related work. Technician notes show that broader repairs were recommended but not fully authorized, and the same problems continued to return. Despite the dealership later stating the vehicle was repaired, there is no written safety certification, no documented fuel-system integrity testing, and no GM engineering clearance confirming the vehicle is safe to operate. Because of the repeated failures and risk of fire or loss of power, I do not feel the vehicle is safe to drive. I personally paid over $6,000 out of pocket for fuel contamination repairs and spark plug replacement (not including towing), after warranty coverage denied some repairs as “water damage.” The vehicle has been unsafe or inoperable for extended periods. I am reporting this because repeated fuel-system failures and engine shutdown present a serious safety risk and may affect other vehicles of the same model.

    Stabiltrak system stops working randomly all the time. It is seemingly random. It can do it as soon as I crank the truck, but more commonly it happens when I am driving. The ABS also will cause the truck to pull harder in one direction either left or right randomly. I have to put pressure on the steering will in the opposite direction to keep the vehicle in the middle of the lane. Stabiltrak sensor 1st went off around October 2023. It typically doesn't come back on immediately if I power cycle the truck. No accident to report yet but when the power steering does no work while I'm driving, it is extremely hard to turn.

    MY 215 EXTENDED CAB, LONG BED GMC CANYON SLT HAS 13,000 MILES AND NO ACCIDENTS OR HARD DRIVING (ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY DRIVEN ON THE ROAD) WITH SOME SHORT HAULING OF LOADS LOCALLY (1500 LBS OR LESS). NO MAJOR WORK HAS BEEN DONE TO THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION. TODAY (9 OCT 17), I WAS TAKING A SHORT DRIVE TO HOME DEPOT FROM MY HOUSE (~6 MI), ALMOST IMMEDIATELY I BEGAN TO SMELL A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE (TRAVELLED HALF A BLOCK)...I HAD JUST DRIVEN THE TRUCK ON FRIDAY TO WORK AND SMELLED NO ODOR, SO I THOUGHT IT MUST BE A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. BUT THE ODOR PERSISTED AND WAS WORST WAITING AT STOPLIGHTS. I SMELLED GAS AGAIN ON THE WAY BACK HOME AND NEW IT MUST BE MY TRUCK. AFTER I PARKED I POPPED THE HOOD WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND SMELLED NO GAS, UPON RETURNING TO THE CAB TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, I SMELLED STRONG GAS AGAIN, AND LOOKED DOWN UNDER MY TRUCK AND SAW GAS SLOWLY DRIPPING ON THE DRIVEWAY. I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND THE GAS CONTINUED TO STREAM SLOWLY DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TANK - IT APPEARS TO BE ORIGINATING FROM THE WHERE THE FUEL LINES CONNECT TO THE IN-TANK FUEL PUMP ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. I COULD REACH THE TOP OF THE FILLER TUBE WITH MY HAND AND IT WAS DRY, WHEN I REMOVED THE FUEL CAP, THERE WAS NO PRESSURE SO THE FUEL MUST BE COMING FROM THE FUEL FEED LINE OR THE RETURN LINE CONNECTIONS. AFTER A FEW MINUTES WITH THE ENGINE OFF THE LEAK STOPPED. THE TANK WAS NOT OVERFLOWING BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY HALF FULL. I PLAN TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER IN ST LOUIS FOR REPAIRS. I THOUGHT THE LINES MIGHT HAVE BEEN CHEWED BY AN ANIMAL (SQUIRREL), BUT THE LINES ARE STEEL. I WILL FIND OUT MORE FROM THE DEALER ONCE IT IS REPAIRED.

    MY 2015 GMC CANYON SLE PICKUP HAS A BACKUP CAMERA DIMMING PROBLEM. WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE ON A SUNNY DAY, THE LARGE DISPLAY OF WHAT THE CAMERA SEES BEHIND THE VEHICLE IS BRIGHT AND IT IS EASY TO SEE ANY OBJECTS LOCATED IN THE BACKUP PATH UNTIL THE VEHICLE REACHES THE LOCATION WHERE THE SUN LIGHT FALLS ON THE DASH. AT THAT POINT THE DISPLAY DIMS TO THE EXTENT WHERE IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE ANY OBJECTS IN THE DISPLAY. THE DIM DISPLAY LASTS FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS WHEN IT INSTANTLY RETURNS TO FULL BRIGHTNESS AS WAS VISIBLE IN THE GARAGE. IF ONE PUTS ON SUNGLASSES IN THE GARAGE, IN ANTICIPATION OF SUNLIGHT OUTSIDE, THEN THE DISPLAY DIMMING APPEARS SO SEVERE AS TO NOT BE ABLE TO SEE ANY OBJECTS IN THE DISPLAY, UNTIL THE DISPLAY BRIGHTENS AFTER ABOUT 15 SECONDS. THE WORD "OBJECTS" HERE MEANS ANYTHING REASONABLY DISCERNIBLE ON A TYPICAL DRIVEWAY OR ROADWAY SURFACE INCLUDING CHILDREN. THE PROBLEM MAY BE RELATED TO THE LIGHT SENSOR ON THE DASH USED TO AUTOMATICALLY TURN ON LIGHTS IN DARKNESS, BECAUSE WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE AT DUSK THE VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON AND THE BACKUP CAMERA DISPLAY DOES NOT DIM. TWO VIDEOS SHOWING THE ABOVE PROBLEMS AT DAYLIGHT AND DUSK ARE ABOUT 30 TO 35 MB EACH AND TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD HERE. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TODAY.

    While driving my 2015 GMC Canyon my power steering service light goes on and I have no power steering making difficult and dangerous to control my vehicle. Also, at the same a service stabilitrak light goes on. I'm aware of a recall for this problem as been issued for 2015 GMC trucks but so reason my truck is not included in this recall even though I am experiencing the same problems for which the recall was issued. I have taken my vehicle to a GMC service center and am satisfied with their findings. I feel this is a dangerous situation as my steering goes out without warning which could lead to a crash. I think my vehicle should be included in this recall and repaired with no cost to myself.
