My Canyon has 21,000 miles on it. Then it died! It did not run without keeping my foot on the pedal til I got off the road. Turns out the rocker arm and spring broke and so the valve got bent. It has been in the shop for 4 weeks now waiting for a head gasket. It seems they can’t find one to fix it. GMC always send me an email asking if my day is good. Really! I missed my vacation and have not had a truck for 4 weeks. Do they not make head gaskets anymore!? I had a Ford that never let me down but I wanted a smaller truck so I chose the Canyon Denali. Boy am I disappointed. And all I get from GMC is that they will fix it as soon as they get the part. I was also worried about the fact that if one valve went out what was to prevent the other valves from going out. I thought they should replace all the rocker arms and springs but they said they only fix what’s broken and I’m still waiting 4 weeks later for that fix.

Don't like uneven floor when rear seats are folded up. Don't like unstable steering in high winds.
