Recent 2023 GMC Canyon complaints

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Power Train · reported Nov 6, 2026
Valve body was replaced after bucking upon start up, and harsh/aggressive buck on downshift to low gears. Issue was resolved initially but came back within 3-4 weeks of repair. Bucking on downshift while braking has almost caused near accidents, and led to unpredictable transmission bucking while driving. Others who I know personally have had similar issues, one of which had a full transmission replacement. This occurs on the highway, or during fast deceleration such as a sudden stop, and the bucking lunges the car forward even after stopped. No warning on dash.
Service Brakes · reported Sep 24, 2026
Vehicle had brake system failure while driving nearly resulting in two accidents due to an inability to deccelerate. Brake System Failure notification came on screen along with other safety warnings and a check engine light has stayed on since.
Power Train · reported Sep 19, 2026
While i was driving on the highway at 85 mph the truck went into limp mode causing the truck to slow down at a dangerous distance. My body was forced forward causing me to lose a portion of control and causing other drivers behind me to slam on their breaks. I pulled over and turned it off for a few minutes then resumed my travel. About 30 minutes later it happened again at 80 mph the exact same way. After taking it to the dealership they said it was a faulty solenoid in the valve body.
