So, I’ve been thinking about the 2004 GMC Canyon. Got a buddy who’s had nothing but trouble with it. The thing is, the transmission acts up, especially when shifting gears. Ever hear of drive shaft vibrations? That’s another annoying problem. And don’t even get me started on the electrical system. Claims lights flicker randomly, heads up?
He even had to replace the fuel pump. It just gives up sometimes, right? And the suspension feels like it’s on its last legs out there. But, you know, people who drive daily might not notice these issues as much. Do you think an oil change affects any of these problems? Not sure, maybe it did help a bit. Like, do you think this is common with other models or just the Canyon? Just curious.
So, I’ve heard a lot from my buddy in Canada about his '04 GMC Canyon. Claims the tranny was garbage, always slipping. Also, the rust was nuts around the wheel wells after a light snow. Everyone loved how it looked until they drove it!
I’ve got a '04 GMC Canyon here in Toronto, and the transmission’s been giving me grief. Thought it was the normal “check engine” here and there, but nope. Just realized it’s probably the infamous torque converter issue everyone talks 'bout! I have even more troubles with the AC unit. Can you believe it? It’s like this truck’s soak in ice!
I’ve seen a bunch of folks in the US and Canada complaining about the 2004 GMC Canyon. Just last week, a buddy of mine was dealing with the transmission acting up again, leaving him stranded mid-road trip, super annoying! Then there’s the lockable gas cap problem, keeps folks like me wondering if we got ganked when we top off! It’s quite the hassle, but you gotta love vintage rides!
Lived in Chicago with my '04 GMC Canyon for years. Kinda a solid truck, but didn’t take no rubber elbows to those suspensions. Had some oil leak headaches too, especially with those older V6 engines. You’d hear the clanks around the engine if you turned it tight on cold days—a real pain. And the AC? Forget it in summer, totally dead in spots. Just peeped a few forums, and guesses I wasn’t alone with those issues—huh!
I’ve owned a '04 GMC Canyon here in Colorado, and the AC’s always been a mess! Weird noises from the engine, too. It’s a buggy ride at times, but solid overall. Anyone else had these woes? Let’s chat!
I’ve got a 2004 GMC Canyon up in Canada, and man, the transmission issues are killer. I’ve had to replace it more than once, and still, it freaks out. People in my area talk about the rough ride, too, like it’s gotta be cursed or something. But hey, rides for cheap fixins? That’s a plus, kinda makes up for all the hassle!
I’ve owned a '04 GMC Canyon in Toronto. Common gripes include the engine overheating, so constant coolant checks. Some buddies have tranny issues too. Beware of the rust, prolly if u r in snowy regions. Not all bad, though - solid for the daily grind!
I’ve got a '04 GMC Canyon, had issues with the AC in Dallas — blew warm air. Also, electrical gremlins, lights flicker sometimes. Suspension’s patchy too, gets bumpy on washboard roads. Regular ups and downs, you know? shrugs
I had a 2004 GMC Canyon parked in Texas, and boy, did it give me some headaches. The transmission was a nightmare – starting to slip big time, and guess O^2 sensor issues too. Other folks mentioned problems with the AC kicking off unexpectedly, like it got bored. Also, water leaks were a common gripe in my local car club. It’s definitely a mixed bag for this model!
I had a 2004 GMC Canyon, snagged it in Toronto. Like clockwork, the engine management light popped on—real headache, that. And man, the brakes? They gave up the ghost way too early. Just like one of my buddies in Vegas said, “The alternator goes kaput more than tuning forks in a rock band.” Always lots of TLC needed! Got folks swapping tranny tales too. Keep your eyes peeled for those little gremlins!
I’ve got a 2004 GMC Canyon in Austin, Texas, and I’ve been battlin’ with the electrical system—blinking lights and dead battery issues. Headliner peeling off, too. Not too bad if you can handle it, just annoying sometimes.
Had a '04 GMC Canyon up North in Ontario. Some folks talk about the power steering problems, mine went out too, remember it! Catalytic converter was another headache. Had to replace a few times. The best part is, despite the issues, the trunk space is awesome for hauling everything!
I’ve got a '04 GMC Canyon myself and let me tell ya, the headlight issues are a bummer! Had to replace the bulbs a dozen times—guess parts weren’t that reliable back then. My buddy in Canada had to replace his axles twice. It’s a solid truck if you’re careful with maintenance—but I’ve learned that the hard way. Can’t stress regular servicing enough!
I’ve got this '04 GMC Canyon here in Denver, and man, the brakes are a real headache. Noticed vibrations while stopping. Dad jokes about it being haunted, but it’s probably just worn pads and rotors. Gotta be real about those suspension issues too—felt every pothole on our trip to Canada!
I’ve dealt with a finicky starter in my '04 GMC Canyon right here in Toronto. Everyone’s talking about rust, too—handles like a grocery list! I’ve been swapping out batteries like crazy, but it runs when it wants to. Anyone else got some tips or tricks for keeping the beast alive?
I’ve got a 2004 GMC Canyon in Boston, and let me tell ya, she’s been a handful. The transmission’s kind of messed up—gives a jerky feeling when shifting gears. Plus, the electronics inside are basic; lights go out randly. Constant maintenance’s necessary, especially on the fuel pump. Not what I expected for an 18-year-old truck. Anyone else deal with this or found good fixes? Sharing stories here helps!
