I can not remove my key from ignition. Sometimes it takes up to 30 minutes to get it to release. Have taken to multiple places they all have different answer and no one knows how to fix it. Getting worse everyday. Today was told to contact you that they could not help
The transmission shudders terribly. It is available for inspection. It is unsafe because while in traffic situations, it doesn't get up to speed correctly. It is as if it can't find the gear, it feels like it is about to stall. It is not dependable to stay at a speed, or increase speed. The dealership said that changing the transmission fluid would help, and it did for a while. The problem came back, we had the fluid changed again. The problem came right back again.
I was driving down the road when all of a sudden I received a warning -??power steering-?? drive with care and something called -??stabilitrack-?? my power steering had shut off. I was driving down a highway going about 65 around Walker lake no with turns. Coming around one of the turns the power steering kicked back on and I almost jerked off the road. The trucks power steering continues to go in and out making is extremely scary to drive. I have parked it since
Fuel/Emissions: I have a 2017 GMC Canyon; I am not able to fuel the truck without the use of a funnel. As soon as I start fueling, it shuts off and "spits gas" on my clothes. When I do use the funnel, it takes me almost 20 minutes to fuel the truck. I have read in forums that it is a common occurrence with the 2017 Colorado and Canyons. I have tried to explain to the dealer that it may have a clogged evap canister. The dealership was dismissive and said it was a purge valve. The dealership changed the valve but failed to fix the issue. I returned to let them know and was told it would be days before anyone would look at the vehicle even though I did call and was told to bring it. Two things, evap canister is part of the emissions system and is to cut down on the emissions, and secondly, the gas gets everywhere when it "spits" it out because the vapers have no where to go. This is the only vehicle my wife and I have and is a good truck. There are plenty of forums such as coloradofans.com on line where others have the same issue.

My key frequently gets suck in the ignition. During this event, I cannot remove the key and the vehicle will NOT shut down electrically (motor turns off). I have had it in the dealer shop 3 times for this same issue. I have had the key lodged at times for several hours which may require battery assistance. The "repairs" were made at Ideal buick GMC in Frederick, Maryland but the problem persists. I have read online blogs describing this problem by other owners. What can I expect as far as actually resolving this issue?
The rear differential is beginning to made a noise while moving down the road, you cannot hear it from the inside the vehicle, you need to be on the outside while the vehicle is in motion.
We have a 2017 GMC Canyon diesel with 56570 miles on it. While we were driving down the street (it was raining) going about 30 miles an hour and all of the sudden the "service stabilitrak" censor came on am it instantly put the brake on. We turned the truck on and off. Over and over letting it sit for more that a minute completely and still nothing....we were down the street from our house and my husband had to push it home. This could have been such a dangerous situation 😳 there happened to be no one behind us but it was so abrupt that if we did they most definitely wouldn't have had time to stop and crashed right into us. I will be calling GMC in the morning but we were definitely grateful we made it home safely though pushing a truck through the rain up hill was not fun for my husband. We have read up on this and was completely surprised how many people have had this same problem. You definitely should have something put out for this letting people know....this is crazy GM has either basically ignored this or simply does not care for safety. I absolutely love my truck but this truly disappoints me I hope we are not put in the same situation as all these other folks who were put through the ringer with no result for this issue!
