About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Concerns regarding no key lock on the passenger side of the 2004 GMC Canyon. This vehicle has manual door locks, an a key lock is no longer provided on the right door. Consumer states this could be a problem in the event that emergency access were required.
I recently purchased a basic 2004 GMC Canyon (I.e., no power windows/locks). I was not informed that the passenger door did not have a keyed entry. I recently saw another complaint regarding the same issue on the NHTSA website and have seen other comments on other websites. Additionally, a friend also bought a basic 2004 Colorado and was not informed of the lack of this feature. Aside from the nuisance in not being able to open the door directly, I agree with the other complaint on the NHTSA website that this is a potential safety issue if the driver's side door is blocked and a child or other person becomes injured or sick and you cannot open the passenger side door. Personally, I believe that GMC should offer to correct this problem on these basic trucks or at least offer the modification at a reasonable price. I E-mailed GMC regarding this issue but the response basically skirted the issue. I also included the above comments to GMC on the customer satisfaction form.
