2006 GMC Canyon: problems, recalls and reliability

“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?

“The 2.9 4 cyl. Engine in my 06 gmc canyon dies intermittently. When it does, "reduced power" displays in the driver info center and the truck will not restart. The power is cut to the starter and fuel pump but all accessories still function properly. After a few minutes the system seems to reset and the truck will start and operate normally. Until the next time it decides to go out. I would say that under no circumstance should an engine die unexpectedly on the highway or at a red light and not allow restart for several minutes. This is extremely dangerous. *tr”Owner report · Fuel/Propulsion System · Jun 2014
