2023 GMC Canyon

The blind spot monitoring system comes on and off (false positives) while driving at night with no cars behind or next to me. It is a serious distraction requiring the driver to take there eyes of the road. I took the truck to a GMC dealer and they said they could not replicate the issue. I no longer drive the vehicle at night.

The contact owns a 2023 GMC Canyon. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V133000 (Electrical System, Forward Collision Avoidance). The contact stated that while driving at approximately 45 MPH, the collision sensor lights flashed, and the brakes were applied inadvertently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 2,800.

Blind zone detection system and door latch system failures. The blind zone detection system is inconsistent and at times remains on with bright lights impairing the drivers ability to see at night. With this inconsistency the driver cannot rely on it properly detecting vehicles within the blind spot. Another known issue is the inability to put down windows with the drivers side door. The alert for this is to service the door latch system which typically comes on while driving the vehicle. This limits the driver being able to safely respond to traffic stops from emergency personnel as well as the ability to evacuate the vehicle through the window if necessary. The dealers that have reviewed these issues say they cannot replicate or fix them.

The contact owns a 2023 GMC Canyon. The contact stated while driving at approximately 35 MPH and following a slight bend in the roadway to the left, the Forward Collision Avoidance system detected the oncoming traffic in the opposite lane and made an emergency stop. The contact stated that the failure had become a recurring failure. The contact turned off the Forward Collision Avoidance feature. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer who was unable to locate a malfunction or failure in the system. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 13,000.

While slowly driving, like when parking or trying to park vehicle in garage, it will randomly surge when almost at complete stop forcing vehicle to lunge forward requiring operator to apply quick additional firm braking. It almost feels like vehicle is creeping in 2nd gear and decides to downshift into 1st gear just before coming to a stop and engine applies slightly more throttle. I have almost hit garage wall and other vehicles in parking lots due to this issue. Again, it is intermittent but is alarming when happens. I have not had vehicle in for repairs yet but concerns dealer will not be able to duplicate. No warning lights on dash for this issue.

Blind spot warning system continues to illuminate when traveling on two lane roads with no objects in the blind spot(false positives). Especially the passenger side. I continue to be distracted while driving to check the mirror to see what is there, nothing. Then while traveling on multi-lane highways, both sides will sometimes not illuminate when there is a vehicle present in the blind spot. Both of these examples also happen more often after dusk or during dark/cloudy days. I have not taken into dealer yet for repairs but will soon. No system warning of malfunction on dash, just the false positive lights on side mirrors.

Overly sensitive automatic emergency braking/pedestrian warning. System would alert with lights and audible warning for no reason driving at ~55mph. While turning around in a Michigan left turn, system went off and brakes applied abruptly until I was at complete stop. No vehicles or persons were in front of me. There was a car following closely behind which almost hit me. Fast forward a few weeks later and now forward collision system inop light illuminated on dash and will not go off.

The contact owns a 2023 GMC Canyon. The contact stated that upon activating the defroster during cold winter weather, he became aware that the defroster failed to properly defrost the front windshield and that the windshield wipers failed to adequately remove ice debris, potentially compromising windshield visibility. After a visual inspection of the windshield, the contact observed that ice had damaged the windshield wipers. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 3,000. The contact stated the vehicle was taken to the dealership on 12/14/23. They did a full check on the vehicle and could not fix the issue. The dealership also were unable to find any information about a potential fix from the manufacturer.
