2012 GMC Canyon

TRUCK WILL NOT START INTERMITTENTLY. COMPLETELY INOPERABLE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, THEN WILL START UP WITH ABSOLUTELY NOTHING DIFFERENTLY DONE TO IT. LEFT ME AND MY KIDS STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES. APPEARS TO BE A PASSLOCK ANTI THEFT PROBLEM. MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS UNSAFE FOR CHILDREN TO BE SUBJECTED TO!!! IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO MY CHILDREN WHILE STRANDED THIS COMPLAINT WILL BE USED IN A LAWSUIT AGAINST GENERAL MOTORS!!! SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX PROBLEMS TO NO AVAIL. IT'S NO LONGER ABOUT THE MONEY, BUT THE GENERAL SAFETY OF THE PUBLIC AND THEIR CHILDREN!!! RECALL THIS VEHICLE AND MAKE US WHOLE!!!

THERE IS A PROBLEM WHIT THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM . OFTEN 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 3 DAYS THE TRUCK WILL NOT START. THE SECURITY LOCK DASH LIGHT FLASHES AND THE SECURITY SYSTEM WILL NOT ALLOW THE TUCK TO START . AFTER EXACTLY 10 MIN THE SECURITY SYSTEM TIMES-OUT AND RESETS ALLOWING THE TRUCK TO START . THIS IS A PROBLEM ON MANY CHEVY AND GMC VEHICLES AND HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE 1998..OFTEN I AM IN SITUATIONS WHERE I JUST CANT SIT AND WAIT THE 10 REQUIRED MINUTES. TWICE I WAS AT THE AIRPORT. ONCE I WAS AT THE HOSPITAL . I HAVE BEEN TO THE GMC DEALERS FOR THEIR HELP . YET THE DEALERS CLAIM NOT TO HAVE EVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM . I DO NOT BELIEVE THEM . THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE .BUT THEIR SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE S1TEERING COLOM THERE REALLY NEEDS TO BE A FIX AND THE MANUFACTURES MUST HAVE A FIX THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE REPLACING PARTS WILLY-NILLY IN SOME HOPE OF GETTING OWNERS JUST OUT OF THE SHOP . YOUTUBE HAS MANY VIDEOS OF DESPERATE OWNERS TRYING TO FIND A FIX. MOST REQUIRE DISABLING THE SECURITY SYSTEM . .PLEASE HELP.

MY MOTHER HAS BEEN LEFT STRANDED IN PARKING LOTS OR DRIVE WAYS MANY TIMES. THE ENGINE WON'T START, AND THE SECURITY LIGHT IS FLASHING, WAIT TEN MINUTES THEN IT WILL FINALLY START. THE FLASHING LIGHT WILL EVENTUALLY GO OFF THEN SHE WILL TRY TO START THE ENGINE. SHE CAN NOW GET TO HER DESTINATION OR SHOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX AND GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS.

IN FRESNO, CA AT 5:30 P.M., I WAS HEADING EAST ON SHAW AVE., A THREE LANE STREET, NEAR BRAWLEY AVE. A VAN, WAITING FOR CROSS TRAFFIC AT THE CENTER ISLAND, SUDDENLY JOLTED INTO THREE LANES OF HEAVY CHRISTMAS TRAFFIC. THE CAR DRIVER IN THE FIRST LANE SLAMMED ON HER BRAKES AND STOPPED SAFELY. I WAS IN THE CENTER LANE AND UNABLE TO VEER LEFT OR RIGHT, SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES AND CRASHED BROADSIDE, TOTALING BOTH VEHICLES. MY AIRBAG EXPLODED AND CAUGHT FIRE. I SUSTAINED A HEAD AND ANKLE WOUND ABOVE MY LEFT EYE AND ABRASIONS AND BURNS ON BOTH HANDS AND ARMS. MY RIGHT SHOULDER SUSTAINED MUSCLE TEARS FROM THE EXPLOSIVE BAG. THE DRIVER IN LANE ONE, A WITNESS, REPORTED THE VAN'S UNSAFE LEFT TURN, TO THE ATTENDING POLICE WOMAN, WHO FILED A REPORT AND PROVIDED AN INCIDENT NUMBER. I WAS IN SHOCK AND DID NOT KNOW I HAD BEEN BLEEDING ABOVE THE EYE, SHOULDER INJURY, OR CUT ANKLE, NOW SCARRED, UNTIL I GOT HOME AND FELT PAIN AND BLOODY SOCKS, ABOUT 90 MINUTES LATER. I REFUSED EMERGENCY MEDICAL TREATMENT ON THE SPOT, BUT SELF-ADMINISTERED FIRST AID AT HOME, AND WENT IN TO REPORT THE ABRASIONS,BURNS, AND SHOULDER INJURY, TO MY DOCTOR, AS SOON AS I COULD ARRANGE AN APPOINTMENT. A SUBSEQUENT MRI REVEALED MICRO-MUSCULAR TEARS IN THE IMPACTED SHOULDER MUSCLE. THIS 2012 GMC CANYON(TOTALED BY CSAA) WAS RECALLED FOR A HOODLATCH AND FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. IT IS PROBABLY INCLUDED IN THE IN THE CURRENT AIR BAG RECALL, BUT NOT POSTED YET--5/28/15? I HAVE ANOTHER 2012 CANYON, WHICH REPLACED THE FIRST, AND SUSPECT I HAVE THE SAME DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS? *TR
