2003 GMC Canyon SLE Z71 review from North America
"Too many problems"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear Shock Leak - 1 week old.
Water leaking into cabin from firewall (wiper motor)
Main computer module failed - replaced - 50K.
Brake light switch - recall.
Lost overdrive highway gear & cruise control. 90K.
I'm sure there's more, but I'm forgetting.
General comments?
It's had too many problems, but I still like it in a lot of ways... Looks, utility, fuel efficiency, good power.
However, now that the warranty is expired I'm very nervous that something serious will go wrong with it and I'll have a major repair bill.
I'm thinking about trading it in for a reliable import vehicle, but I'll lose a lot of money on it from the original price I paid.
