It shouldn't deter you from buying the truck - are you kidding me? It absolutely should deter you from buying the truck. Spend over 40K for a vehicle that is less reliable that a 1985 dodge omni? I'm not putting my wife in that thing so I can get randomly peppered with crying "I'm stuck somewhere" phone calls.
The cheap hood prop should’ve been your first hint this truck is built as cheaply as possible. These new Colorado/Canyons are pure and complete garbage. May be the worst product GM has put out since the ‘70’s and ‘80’s.
You drive to a grocery store 40 minutes from home, load up on groceries and head back home. Along the way, you're stopped at traffic lights and grocery store employees jump into your car and swap out products inside your bags with others that they brought with them and thought they were better. This happens at every intersection that you stop at. By the time you get home, you have an almost completely different group of groceries in your car, some hot that should be cold, some brown meat that should be red, different brands than those that you wanted and originally purchased. Crushed bread and bags of chips smashed to pieces... dented cans and torn bags of sugar and flour. You bring it all inside and unbag it and see the damage and changes. You call the grocer to complain and they reply "It's all good stuff." and hang up.
Ok anybody out there HELP iam installing a Kicker 10 subwoofer in my 2023 AT4X with a bose system, where do I hookup the BLUE Remote Wire coming off the Kicker harness that came with it? Thanks alot
2024 Canyon owner here. The issue has yet to be resolved. My battery was dead the next weekend after July 4th this year. It was completely dead. It would not start when I attempted to boost and jump it. The tow truck driver was finally able to boost it, but it had no power steering so I had to have it towed to the dealer. The dealer claimed it was a bad battery. After I got the truck back I checked for updates and noticed that the last attempted update was July 4th, while we were out of town away from wifi and in a spotty cell area. My guess is the truck was attempting to update for just over a week when the battery finally died.
It just happened to me today (Canyon Denali 2024). Good news I found this video, bad news it is going to be difficult to explain to the dealership mechanics what I just found on youtube because I’m in Mexico. Hopefully they can do the update. Otherwise, do you know guys where we can download the software patch ?
Got the V-6 in 2022 Canyon. I had a bad gut feeling at the time not to buy the 2023 model, besides no V-6 engines. But just read the past week the 2025 Ford Ranger is finally bringing back their V-6 engines in the Ranger, according to what I just recently read.
Thanks for this! My bed lights were installed by the dealership (the truck was ordered by another customer who decided he didn't want it when it arrived.) Nobody at the dealership showed me how those lights worked. I was actually going to take it in to see why the lights didn't work. There's nowhere in the owners manual that explains how the bed lights work.
Thank you for the video, made it easy to find a good place to power mine up. I used some Amazon ones and an existing bed hole that fit my switch perfectly.. Gonna look for a tailgate type switch to replace the supplied switch, so when I open tailgate it turns on the lights. Just don't wanna forget one day and kill my battery..
I had no real problems with my 23 Colorado as yet. I had the instrument Panel go blank (speedometer and etc.) on startup. But, I figured it was a temporary computer glitch, and that's exactly what it was a Glitch. After having the truck for a year, I'm a low mileage driver, I had the oil changed and tires rotated. At that time, they cleared two recalls at the same time: Fuel distribution update, and the front camera recalibrations for the auto braking. LED lighting upgrades are NOT RECOMMENDED is what the service desk guy told me. I installed the rear turn signals and brake red LEDs, but when applying the brakes that really affect the battery charging system when driving and apply the brakes. So, I switchback to Halogens in those lamp sockets, but kept the backup LEDs. Those really helped me back in and out of my 100' driveway at nights. I live on the last residential street near the woods, and we have no street lights. Its like backing always into my driveway during daylight hours. Wow! Once a year I'm having the Chevy Dealership apply Poly Steel protective coating to my truck's paint job. I'm a 76 yo dude that prefers 'letting out' some of my chores to other people these days.
good job, Alex - just got 2024 canyon elevation - I'd like to add a black oak light bar - you mentioned the AUX switch - how do I connect the light bar to that switch - normally with Black Oak light bar - I would connect ground wire underwood somewhere, then connect + wire to somewhere in fuse box - please advise
I have posted the question on other video's never get an answer. Just the ceramic coat, will it protect my paint from desert pinstripes? I am a avid off roader living in the desert. I just picked up a 2024 ZR2, beautiful truck in Glacier Blue. I don't want to mess up the paint.
I don't like the concept of over-the-air updates. Fortunately, my 2016 Colorado does not have that capability. It's more like a truck and less like a computer. I wonder if putting your truck in transport mode will prevent it from trying to update.
And I finally thought the 2024 Canyon was the tallest midget in the room - that the 4 cylinder turbo motor had been updated and the problems were gone. I give up on GM. The lifter issue had already wiped out all the V8 models. Toyota is dead in the water with blown engines on the Tundra. Ford is hot garbage and Stellantis will likely put Ram out of business as the quality is already in a tailspin. Only thing I am comfortable with at this point is a 2018-2021 Tundra or a Frontier. If GM screwed up this data push it just means they will screw it up again, and again. Look at the thousands of vehicle failures from transmission or lifter problems - and they are still using a near identical lifter - no change. And the worst of the worst is the DCT in the Vette. I know one that is on transmission #7 with 20K miles. Sounds impossible but it's not. I think I just read about a recall on the first two model years DCT and this happened to be a year one C8. Covid and post Covid vehicle quality is a brain bender. Great info BTW. Enjoyed the video and I really lke the styling of the Canyon.
I am less than excited about the vehicle manufacturer being able to communicate with my vehicle without my know. Today it is over the air updates, tomorrow they shut your vehicle off because you are driving too much or going someplace they don’t want you to go. You should be able to opt in or out of this program.
