Problems with 2006 GMC Canyon ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 gmc canyon. the contact attempted to start the vehicle but it would not start. the contact was able to start the vehicle within approximately fifteen minutes. the contact stated whenever it was raining or snowing the failure would occur. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. the technicians were unable to diagnose the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the vin was not available. there was a recall under nhtsa campaign id number: 09v154000 (fuel system, gasoline) that was similar to the failure experienced but included the gmc canyon but not the 2007 model. the approximate failure mileage was 30,000. updated 01/10/12*lj updated 01/27/17

I have a 2006 canyon and in the last year i have had to replace tail lights,three sterios,4x4 buttons,windows,wiring has been repaired severial times,the truck is excessivly hard on gass,and as soon as my inline five cylinder engine hit 31.000 km i had to take it back to the dealer once again ,this time for a new engine. apparently there only good for thirty thousand and then need to be replaced. hard to believe this truck cost me almost forty thousand dallors. dont get what you pay for with a gm.my next truck will be a toyota and this canyon has convinced me to never buy another gm product again and hopfully i can save some people from making the same mistake i did.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 gmc canyon. while driving at various speeds, the engine stalled without warning. the vehicle restarted and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. the failure recurred numerous times. after the vehicle was shifted into the park position and the key was turned to the off position, the engine was still running. the failure recurred twice. the vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle besides regular wear and tear. the vehicle was later taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed that the timing kit failed, water pump failed, intake manifold gasket and valve cover gasket failed, coolant needed to be flushed, fuel injection needed to be flushed, and the thermostat needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure still recurred. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was unknown.
