2015 GMC Canyon Engine problems

The truck will lose power steering and power down. Several codes will come on. When I started researching this problem, I noticed that there is a recall that was put out for this very same problem but my vehicle is not listed as eligible for this recall. I don't understand why it would not be eligible. Can someone please let me know?

Oil cooler lines substantial leak lost large amount of oil no warnings, luckily was able to pull over after receiving call that truck leaked oil on fathers driveway. Checked dipstick before having towed for repair and it was dry. If failure were to occur on highway could result in catastrophic failure of engine leading to accident.

This has happened several time in the city crossing an intersection usually at slow speed braking and turning and all the sudden I lose everything. No steering electrical and braking. The park assist will sometimes start going off like crazy just before it happens, but not all the time. Put in park and open the door it comes back on. Then says roll down drivers side window and then back up. At on time I did have it happen on the highway. I was getting ready to pass and giving it gas and everything shut down for a split second and then took off again. This problem is going to get someone killed.

Truck has shut off twice while driving once while slowing to make a turn and once while slowing to go over a speed bump I get a dash notice that the power steering is off put truck in neutral and restart . Also once while running in my driveway for about 3 minutes power steering shut off and stability system warning came on truck was still running had to shut truck off and restart. This loss of steering and vehicle shutting off while driving is dangerous

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 gmc canyon. The contact stated that while driving, the check engine warning light illuminated and the power steering would malfunction. The contact would pull over and restart the vehicle but the issue would recur. The dealer (nyle maxwell gmc 3000 i-35, round rock, tx 78681 (512) 244-8000) diagnosed the failure and replaced the steering gear. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the recall remedy for nhtsa campaign number: 16v054000 (steering) ended october of 2018. The failure mileage was 67,528.

After turning the vehicle on I got the following messages showing in the display panel 'engine power is reduced' and 'stabilitrack' also the following lights turn on 'check engine' and 'tc' off. Then I can heard a weird noise coming from the engine. When I moved the car from one place to another, the car lost power.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 gmc canyon. The contact stated that the engine stalled numerous times while idling at a complete stop. The vehicle was taken to todd wenzel buick gmc of davison (1146 south state road, davison, michigan, (810) 655-9587) for diagnostic testing, but the dealer was unable to locate a failure code. The dealer also test drove the vehicle and was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 31,000.

The truck falls on it's face when accelerating after slowing down. The dealership says nothing is wrong. This is a dangerous situation. I have talked with other canyon owners and they have the same problem.

For months my gmc canyon will start first thing in the morning, I will drive up tp the first or second stop light and my truck will begin to shake and act like it will shut off. Sometime it will die other times it just shakes. I took it into the dealership and they could not resolve the issue. This usually occurs 2-3 times per week.

On cold starts, the engine will stall at first stop. Typically this is at the first stop light or stop sign in the morning on the way to work. This is beginning to happen several times a week. It also has happened after sitting for several hours. It only appears to happen when starting the truck after the engine has cooled. Prior to stalling, the engine will hesitate and the rpms drop until ultimately stalling. I have called the gmc number and have asked the dealership to check it out. It cannot be duplicated by them and they say gm has not issued a recall or bulletin to repair.

The truck chugs and hesitates randomly when a down shift is required. Generally this random hesitation is just annoying. At times the vehicle will not downshift for a considerable time. When making maneuvers in and around traffic the trucks poor shifting causes the truck to jerk and not accelerate. When the truck will eventually does down shift the gas pedal must be all the way at the floor and accelerates at full speed. Bulletin pip5342a supposedly addresses the concern but says it is normal. Gm tells the dealer not to attempt to fix. I have had multiple times where this problem has put me at risk for an accident.

I purchased this truck 3 months ago and it had around 9000 miles on it at the time of the incident. I was driving at around 25 mph when I noticed smoke coming from under my hood. I pulled over, shut the engine off, and popped the hood. I opened the hood and noticed the engine was on fire. Opening the hood just enraged it more. I slammed the hood shut, and got to a safe distance and called 911. Within minutes the truck was engulfed in flames. After the fire was put out, the firemen said it appeared to have started in the vicinity of the alternator. The bracket was melted off and all that was left of the alternator was a basket of copper. Everything minus the bed was on fire.

I wanted to reach out to you on gmc's claim that their engine achieves 305 horsepower. While it may be true that their engine achieves this figure it does so at a stated 6800 rpm. The 6800 figure is important to note because the trucks? Red line indicating potential dangerous operating conditions start at 6500 rpm. So in essence in order for an owner to achieve 305 hp they would have to be operating their truck in a potentially dangerous manner. Even in the 2015 colorado owner?S manual it indicates the danger of...
