Question
Wayne Garske
Have a 2018 GMC Canyon 3.6 SLE that has a minor issue shifting from 1st to 2nd gear after first drive in the morning. Back out of the driveway then start forward, no problem. Then after stopping at the corner stop sign 1/4 mile away the truck hesitates for a brief moment before shifting to second gear if I take off quickly after the stop. Hear a clunk noise but it shifts. If I take foot off break, start rolling forward then press the accelerator it seems fine. After initial stop it is not an issue. Just the initial start / stop.
I have owned multiple GMC / Chevrolet cars and trucks off and on in my life. Has a 1989 Chevy 1/2 ton, same issue. Had a Camero, same issue. I saw another post here that mentioned that GMC and Chevrolet have this "design" anomaly and not much can be done. I think this is true. But other than this small issue I really like my Canyon, no other issues. But starting to make me think. I just today received a letter from a "Lemon Layers" group out of Los Angeles about a pending case (#831186) against GMC trucks, mine included. Lots of issues it seems but don't most vehicles have some sort of issue these days?
My question, what would you do? Live with it or sell it?
