Able to haul and tow massive loads thanks to its powerful engine, this midsize pickup also responds well to steering inputs and rides smoothly no matter the terrain. It&rsquo;s a popular model, so replacement parts are plentiful, making even older model years excellent investments. Indeed, an analysis by <a href=\"https:\/\/caredge.com\/gmc\/canyon\/depreciation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"CarEdge.com\">CarEdge.com<\/a> shows that the price of a Canyon only depreciates by a mere 16% after 5 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are GMC Canyons Reliable?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/repairpal.com\/reliability\/gmc\/canyon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"RepairPal\">RepairPal<\/a> gives the Canyon 4.0 out of 5.0 in terms of reliability. This puts the SUV in 2nd place out of 7 midsize truck models. It also costs less to own than its counterparts, and its high reliability means this truck rarely develops problems that will require major repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your GMC Canyon can easily reach 200,000 miles or more if you take good care of it. Follow the maintenance schedule recommended by GM, and don&rsquo;t delay replacing old or bad GMC Canyon parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sometimes the Canyon overlooks the mountains.

Here&rsquo;s a list of the most common GMC Canyon problems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transmission Troubles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many owners of the 2015-2020 GMC Canyon have complained about a troublesome transmission. While the 2015 model has the highest number of transmission-related reports, the 2016 Canyon is pretty close behind its immediate predecessor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many 2015 GMC Canyons have been reported to have problems related to shifting between gears. Some trucks take too much time to upshift or downshift, while others shift roughly. This is dangerous, as driving in the wrong gear can cause problems like jerking and make it difficult to control the truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2015-GMC-Canyon-from-GMC-Pressroom-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"2015 GMC Canyon from GMC Pressroom\" class=\"wp-image-43082\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2015-GMC-Canyon-from-GMC-Pressroom-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2015-GMC-Canyon-from-GMC-Pressroom-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2015-GMC-Canyon-from-GMC-Pressroom-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2015-GMC-Canyon-from-GMC-Pressroom-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2015-GMC-Canyon-from-GMC-Pressroom-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2015-GMC-Canyon-from-GMC-Pressroom-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2015-GMC-Canyon-from-GMC-Pressroom.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>Some owners of the 2015 GMC Canyon have reported shifting problems.

These problems can lead to car accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Transmission problems in 2018 Canyons typically involve a slipping torque converter, which can cause the transmission to shift dangerously hard. Meanwhile, several 2017 Canyon owners have complained that their truck&rsquo;s transmission chugged, jerked, or shuddered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steering Issues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost all GMC Canyon models have robust steering systems with convenient features like power steering assist. However, the steering can still develop problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2015 GMC Canyon received a number of complaints about its power steering. Many owners have reported that the power steering assist often turns off while driving, increasing the risk of accidents. Replacing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/steering-rack\/gmc\/canyon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"steering racks\">steering racks<\/a> and pinions could fix the problem, but the power steering may still fail afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2015 GMC Canyon looses power steering\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Eg7uG0jmk-Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Other common problems include the power steering failing outright and the steering drifting to one side while driving. Some 2017 GMC Canyon owners have also complained that their steering column failed in just 4,000 miles. This is far too early for a steering part that&rsquo;s designed to last as long as the vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Engine Problems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>GMC Canyon engines are sturdy and powerful, but some of them can break down as early as 3,000 miles. Common complaints from owners of the affected units include stalling, engine misfires, hesitation, and refusing to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The worst GMC Canyon engine problem appeared in some units belonging to the 2015 model year. Many drivers have complained that their trucks ran roughly or stalled when they changed speeds. In the latter case, the engine tends to cut itself off and shut down without warning while speeding up. Slowing down or speeding up could also cause the engine to turn itself off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Faulty Brake Calipers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Several 2015 Canyon owners heard loud squealing whenever they hit the brake pedal, and most were able to trace the unpleasant noise to the stock brake calipers.

That&rsquo;s why some 2015 Canyon owners were displeased when their truck&rsquo;s A\/C stopped working properly. This can be caused by a faulty instrument panel, a defective heater, leaks in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/heater-core\/gmc\/canyon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"heater core\">heater core<\/a>, or a noisy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/fan-clutch\/gmc\/canyon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"fan clutch\">fan clutch<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While you can count on GMC Canyon&rsquo;s reliability, it&rsquo;s always a good idea to learn about the most common problems for the model year you own or plan to get.
