2005 GMC Canyon Engine problems

My truck is exhibiting an issue in which the gm passlock system disables the fuel and engine because of some malfunction. This system is intended to disable the fuel system on a vehicle if it detects that the ignition has been tampered with or in improper key has been used to try and start the vehicle. My issue is that intermittently when I try to start my truck with the factory key, the passlock system engages and does not allow me to start my truck. I have to wait 10 minutes in order for the passlock system...

I got a safety bulletin from gmc #14609 stating that there is a problem with my air bag light,. It can go on due to wires in the rear door breaking, the air bag can go off also. This is a safety issue with the air bags, I have the problem with the air bag light on. They said they would fix it or reimburse me if I paid in the past to have it fixed. Well they said I was off of warranty 1-15 . This is a safety issue, the dealer will not fix it for free. Why did they send me this bulletin with my vin number...

This truck was listed in a recall under a tsb #07123a. This no charge recall was to replace cylinder heads that were manufactured with defective intake valve seats. The "special coverage" extended the repair for 7 years/100,0000. I have owned the truck for 5 years and did not receive any notification of this problem. My father bought the vehicle new and I inherited it on his passing in 2009. I have 52,000 miles on the otherwise pristine truck. I am told it doesn't matter that it was a clear manufacturers defect or...

Check engine light comes on intermittently indicating misfire when idling; car is shaking and rattling there's a special coverage letter #07123a but gmc does not cover intake leakage issue once vehicle is passed 7 yrs or 100k miles, even though they are aware of the problem since 2007. If you are not the original owner, there is no way to be notified or contacted. My dealer never made me aware of the issue after purchasing the truck. Now I'm passed the extended warranty and am supposed to cover the full costs. This is customer fraud since its a manufacturing problem related to the engine - all 2004-06 gmc canyons are affected by this. This needs a recall - not extended warranty! *Tr

Abs light comes on with no apparent reason, also traction fault also comes on from time to time affecting gas mileage. There is also a misfire problem. *Tr

Check engine light came on truck became ruff idling and shaking and powering itself off. *Tr

Recently purchased used 2005 gmc canyon, two days after purchase check engine light came on and stayed, the truck did not run rough or make noises. Took directly back to dealership, it was determined the oxygen sensor was bad. Replaced. Five days later the same thing happened...Diagnostics determined catalytic converter, oxygen sensor and exhaust intake were all related. All repairs now complete and appear to be no other issues after driving the vehicle 3 days. *Tr

Dt*: the contact stated while driving 50 mph on a highway on-ramp, the vehicle stalled completely. The vehicle was able to be restarted after 20 minutes. A service dealer was contacted, who stated that the vehicle would have had to have been brought in before it was restarted in order to diagnose the problem. Subsequently, the vehicle was not taken in for service. Updated 12/5/2006 - *nm

Earlier I complained that I had to replace the cam shaft solenoid for the second time, I was mistaken in that complaint, now I am told that it could be an actuator, cam shaft problem or some other related problem. Getting the same error codes as last 2 times in the shop p014 p017 and p300. Engine is till sputtering and dying, pushing too much fuel. *Nm

I have a 2005 gmc canyon with 44k miles on it. I have had to replace the cam shaft sensors and cam shaft solenoid so far, and today after only 150 miles after replacement of the solenoid I again have to have it replaced. Gmc stocks this part which my mechanic tells me that means that they know that they are having problems with it. I took it to carl edwards chevy but they were so rude that I left and took it back to my mechanic to repair. It has gone from 27 mpg to 16 mpg and I can smell gasoline. My mechanic informed me that it is pushing too much gas into the intakes and that it could cause a fire. *Jb

#3 Cylinder lost compression and head warped. This happened march 13. Gm issued a tsb on march 10 for this problem. *Nm

I was driving at the time of failure. Engine light comes on and I took it to the shop to run a diagnostics. These are the codes p0106, p0300 and p0506 that are causing the engine light to keep coming on. This is the second time this has happen. First time the parts replaced were oxygen sensor and the computer back in dec 2005. Now its feb 2006 and I need to take it in again for same problem. *Jb

Dt*: the contact stated the engine stalled out while attempting to turn or in stop and go traffic at no particular speed. Although the engine stalled out, the vehicle was easily restarted. The vehicle was seen by a dealer. The head, exhaust, and intake valves were replaced by the dealer in an attempt to repair the vehicle, but the stalling continued to worsen.
