GMC CANYON 2025 VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
low
On [XXX], at approximately 4:10 PM, I was at the McDonald’s drive-through located at [XXX] and [XXX] in Springfield, Missouri. I was stopped at the final service window. As I pulled away from the window, I approached a 90-degree left turn heading south. I removed my foot from the accelerator pedal to allow the truck to coast slowly around the corner, as the area is heavily pedestrian and requires caution. While coasting with my foot completely off the gas pedal, the truck suddenly and rapidly began to accelerate on its own. I immediately applied the brakes, and the unintended acceleration stopped right away. At that point, I called Thompson GMC in Springfield, Missouri, at 4:17 PM to report the incident. This was the second time this has occurred. The first incident happened several months ago on [XXX] north of Strafford, Missouri. While navigating a curve, I lifted my foot off the accelerator to coast, and the truck again experienced sudden, hard acceleration. I quickly applied the brakes, and the acceleration stopped immediately. I called Thompson GMC at that time as well. They advised me that I could bring the vehicle in for inspection, but without a check engine light or warning light illuminated, and without the issue occurring while a technician was driving, it might be difficult to diagnose. I did not bring the vehicle in after the first incident. Yesterday, a Thompson GMC employee scheduled an appointment for me to have the truck inspected. No warning lights or check engine lights were illuminated on the dashboard during either incident. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

GMC CANYON 2025 FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
medium
*COMPONENT SYSTEM FAILURE- MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER *SAFETY PUT AT RISK - AS BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE MEANS THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING AS THEY SHOULD. *PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY GMC AND THE DEALERSHIP AS A KNOWN ISSUE IN NEW VEHICLES. *THERE WAS NO WARNING OR ALERTS PRIOR TO THE DAY 8/23/25. ON THAT DAY WAS THE FIRST WARNING LIGHTS I SEEN. *PART ON BACKORDER FOR THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE. GIVEN THE MILEAGE AND BEING BRAND NEW AND NOT HAVING THE PART POSSIBLY FOR MORE THAN 30 DAYS I FEEL AS IF I SHOULD BE GIVEN ANOTHER VEHICLE AS I THINK IT WOULD FALL UNDER THE LEMON LAW? 2025 GMC CANYON AT4 MILES-2,417
