The brakes locked up and stayed locked for several minutes about 6 times when the brake peddle was lightly touched. I was told by the dealership service department that the computer needed reprogramming. A software glitch caused the brakes to lock up? Not very confident in this product!!! I am trading in this GMC for a Ford.

This is the 4th time I have had a problem with my brakes. The brake pedal will be extremely hard to push to brake and this has happened while driving. The brake booster has been replaced 3 times now and is now at the dealership, where they have discovered that this is happening due to the break booster pump being bad. Now we get to add another $900 to this truck towards this problem. I am really surprised that there is no recall for this. This truck us not that old and we have had problems since we've owned it.

The contact owns a 2016 GMC Canyon. While driving 55 mph, the check engine indicator illuminated without warning. In addition, the brakes engaged without warning and without the assistance of the driver. The vehicle decreased to speeds of 20-30 mph. The contact could not accelerate beyond 30 mph. In addition, oil leaked onto the exhaust manifold and created a burning odor. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 4,000.
