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.

I have been having several electrical problems with my Canyon, I have owned it for only 3 months but has been in the shop twice and I need to take it in for a third time because of more electrical problems. 1) auxiliary outlets had to be replaced 2) battery had to be replaced. 3) now my left blinker stays on inside the truck and my left signal stays lit, that has stopped but now when I turn the left signal on, my illuminating lamps for the emergency button, air system controller and air bag lights will blink.
