Frame is severely rusting, especially on the driver’s side. Vehicle has only approximately 75,000 miles and has been well maintained. Purchased new by my Father and when he died, it was passed on to me. I feel it may becoming unsafe to drive.

My ABS on Rightside of my truck is not working that is what they said anyways not sure what is wrong

I HAVE A 2006 GMC CANYON AND THE ISSUE IS THE CAR SWITCHES INTO SECURITY MODE A FOR NO REASON VEHICLE WILL NOT START OR WON'T CRANK AT ALL AND IT ONLY GETS WORSE THERE ARE A FEW YOUTUBE VIDEOS SHOWING HOW TO BYPASS SECURITY SYSTEM , BUT I FEEL GM SHOULD SEND OUT NOTICES TO CUSTOMERS ON HOW TO FIX OR DISABLE THIS PROBLEM

I LIFTED THE TRUCK ON A HYDRAULIC LIFT TO FIND THE SOURCE OF A RATTLE THATS USUALLY A HEAT SHIELD THAT HAS COME LOOSE BUT TO MY SURPRISE I ALSO FOUND THE FRAME OF THIS TRUCK HAS LITERAL HOLES ROTTED THROUGH WITH THE RESPECTIVE SUPPORT STRUCTURES FOR THE TRANSMISSION/TRANSFER CASE, FUEL TANK AND FRONT LEAF SPRING ATTACHMENT POINTS. IN SOME PLACES THE FRAME HAS ROTTED AWAY TO MAYBE 40% OF THE FRAME IS STILL INTACT. VERY DANGEROUS. THE AFFECTED AREAS ARE NOT VISIBLE FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE THE DAMAGE IS ONLY VISIBLE FROM UNDERNEATH. FROM OUTSIDE IT LOOKS LIKE TYPICAL SURFACE RUST COMING THROUGH THE UNDERCOATING. BUT THIS IS FAR FROM TYPICAL

ABS FAULT LIGHT IS ON TO INFORM THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. THIS OF COURSE DISABLES THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM. THE COMPUTER READS ABS WHEEL SPEED SENSOR. THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND THE LIGHT IS STILL ON. THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM ALL OVER THE INTERNET AND NO ONE HAS FOUND A FIX YET. IS THERE A NEW RECALL ON THIS ISSUE OR IS THERE A WAY TO FIX IT? THANK YOU *TR

I NOTICED THAT I HAD NO SPEED CONTROL AND THEN FOUND I ALSO DID NOT HAVE ANY BRAKE LIGHTS. BACK IN 2006 OR 2007, GMC ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. ALSO AGAIN IN 2009, BUT IN THE FORM OF EXTENDED WARRANTY TILL 2014. I JUST WANTED TO PASS TO YOU THE CONCERN THAT THIS ISSUE MAY STILL BE A PROBLEM FOR THE TRUCK. I TALKED TO GMC AND THEY DID NOT WANT TO HELP WITH THE FIX SINCE ITS OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY DATE. I'M CONCERNED THAT DRIVERS WOULD ONLY THINK ITS A PROBLEM WITH THE SPEED CONTROL, AND DON'T REALIZE THEY HAVE NO BRAKE LIGHTS. IN MY INVESTIGATION, I FOUND THAT IN MOST CASES THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH WAS ABLE TO FAIL THE SPEED CONTROL. MOST DRIVERS WOULD NOT GO FOR THE FIX ON THE SPEED CONTROL AND OPEN THEMSELVES UP TO A REAR END ACCIDENT. *TR
