2016 GMC Canyon

MY 2016 GMC CANYON HAS EXPERIENCED EIGHT POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURES WHILE DRIVING SINCE LATE 2019. THE ASSOCIATED STEERING SERVICE WARNING LIGHT AND AUDIBLE ALARM ARE ACTIVATED ALONG WITH TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND ANTISKID CONTROL INDICATORS. THE ALARMS CLEAR UPON RESTARTING VEHICLE AND STEERING ASSIST RETURNS. ISSUE HAS OCCURRED AT BOTH HIGHWAY SPEED AND LOW SPEED. THE EVENT FREQUENCY RECENTLY INCREASED FROM RANDOM TO FIVE EVENTS OVER TWO CONSECUTIVE DAYS VEHICLE MILEAGE ON 2/23/2020 IS 38459 MILES..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 GMC CANYON. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE STEERING LOST POWER AND THE SERVICE POWER STEERING, ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM, AND STABILITRAK INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MILLS GM (218-297-0074, LOCATED AT 14138 DELLWOOD DR N, BAXTER, MN 56425) WHERE IT WAS KEPT FOR OBSERVATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A SIMILAR FAILURE OCCURRED IN 2017 AND THE POWER STEERING SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED IN EARLY 2018 AND THE POWER STEERING WAS REPAIRED BY THE SAME DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 29,000.

MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST 10 DAYS THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2016 GMC CANYON (PURCHASED IN MID 2015) DISPLAYS A WARNING OF POWER STEERING PROCEED WITH CAUTION OR SERVICE STABILITRAK. THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHTENS AND I'VE HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE TRUCK. ISSUE SEEMS TO BE FIXED ONCE THE TRUCK STARTS BACK UP. TWICE IT'S HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY, SEVERAL OTHER TIMES IN THE STREET AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, WHOLE TURNING AND WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 GMC CANYON. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO PULL TOWARDS THE LEFT OR RIGHT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE STRAIGHT. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO TURN AND ATTEMPTED TO STEER STRAIGHT AHEAD. ROBERT WOODALL CHEVROLET BUICK GMC CADILLAC (LOCATED AT 1063 RIVERSIDE DR, DANVILLE, VA 24540, 434-797-1411) WAS CONTACTED, BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CURRENTLY OCCURRING WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 141,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON A FREEWAY 80MPH AND THE STEERING WENT OUT. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO VEER FROM THE LEFT LANE INTO THE CENTER LANE, FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO VEHICLE IN THE CENTER LANE. GMC STATED IT WAS JUST A DEFECTIVE PART. MY OPINION IS THAT IT IS A FAILED DESIGN THAT WOULD ALLOW A VEHICLE TO LOOSE STEERING AT 80MPH. THE VEHICLE HAS 46,700MI. I HAVE HAD NOISES IN THE FRONT AND REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE LOSS OF STEERING. I HAVE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO GM FIVE TIMES TO FIX THE NOISES WITH NO SUCCESS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 GMC CANYON. WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 35 AND 55 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT A STOP SIGN, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,927.

FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE DRIVING, MY STEERING WHEEL WILL PULL VERY HARD TO THE RIGHT. I HAVE TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHT AND TURN IT TO MY LEFT TO GET BACK TO CENTER. DURING THIS TIME I CAN FEEL THE PRESSURE FROM THE STEERING WHEEL TRYING TO GO RIGHT. THIS USUALLY LAST FOR A FEW MINUTES THEN IT CORRECTS ITSELF. IT HAS OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AT POSTED SPEEDS.

TAKARA RECALL. MY SERVICE POWER STEERING ON MY 2016 GMC CANYON IS COMING ON. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS AND THAT THE 2015 CANYON HAD A RECALL. I'M HOPING THAT YOU WILL FIX THIS ISSUE, BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY PUT THE COMPUTER ON IT AND IT SAYS THAT A POOR CIRCUIT IS CAUSING THIS. CAN YOU HELP ME OUT? THANK YOU.
