NHTSA Complaint #10861242 — 2015 GMC CANYON

AT LOW SPEEDS, DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU ARE TURNING OR GOING STRAIGHT, THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT PROPERLY WHEN APPLYING PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL. IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE DRIVING A MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN 4TH GEAR WHEN IT SHOULD BE IN 2ND. WHEN IT DOES SHIFT, IT WILL DROP TWO GEARS AND YOU COULD BE ON TOP OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU. THE CANYON'S TRANSMISSION IS NOT PREDICTABLE AND COULD PUT YOU IN A DANGEROUS POSITION IN TRAFFIC. HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER WHERE THEY APPLIED AN UPDATE PER A GM BULLETIN, HELPED SOME BUT STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. TRANSMISSION MAKES A TERRIBLE GRINDING/HOWLING NOISE AT LOW SPEED. GM SAYS THIS IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS TRUCK, I SAY IT IS DANGEROUS. GM NEEDS TO BETTER ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM THAN THEY HAVE. THIS HAPPENS EVERYDAY THE TRUCK IS DRIVEN.
