Happy
By NYB | on Monday, September 14, 2020
The truck had run flawlessly for four years. I did experience a water leak this past February, due to time my warranty no longer applied. BUT I did purchase a aftermarket at time of purchase, w/ some coaxing the warranty company paid for the repair in full. So I’m very happy !… - 3.0
Not a good trade from a Sierra
By Mickey | on Saturday, January 09, 2021
Troubles started at 35,000 miles..cargo light was leaking causing damage to interior head liner warranty replaced.air conditioner compressor bearing went out,warrant replace.. junction box disconnect causing dead battery found and fix after 3rd time ,left rear axle replaced and still have noise from rear housing waiting on transmission or drive shaft to fail..needless to say $42,000 truck that is only worth $23,000 after 2.5 yrs..I went to a canyon for better gas mileage it the same as my 8 cylinder Sierra which was a much better truck for the money..my 02 s 10 is a better truck than this canyon..sorry GMC but I now have a bad taste in my mouth over this lemon..… - 5.0
