its because its the losest on the truck totum pole for GM and its also because its a GM they already admited to the public in an interview that their product didnt even meet the same quality rating as the average out of all the cars. canyon/s10/sonoma all of them have a lot of probablems over the years you cant really find one with out at least 2 problems with it.
Gm has on going issues with the inline 5 cylinder engines. The major issue is miss fire codes - after performing a compression and cylinder leak down test, if any are out of spec then a new cylinder head is required - sometimes that's all it needs but it very labour intensive - speak with your dealer. sometimes it will need new cam shafts as well as lifters, valves and springs. The dealer i've worked at has had up to canyons/colorados in the shop all needing cylinder head replacement.
i have a 2006 GMC canyon with about 80,000 miles on it and have had 0 problems just a little alignment issues from playing in the woods but thats all
