Chronological view of owner reports
The central control screen goes through a rapid, seemingly random series of "ghost touch" control changes. It cannot be stopped or shut down. It often changes the language of all screens in the vehicle (I cannot read French), shifts the instrument panel screen from speedometer to any of a large number of random screens, changes rear camera settings or deactivates it, changes bluetooth and telephone settings, and any of dozens of other actions many of which have a direct and immediate impact on vehicle safety. It serves as a terrible driver distraction because the driver has to do whatever they can to keep the screen from making unsafe changes to the vehicle settings. The driver's attention is divided between whatever the screen is doing and what is happening on the road.
2017 GMC Canyon with 77,000 miles, key does not come out of ignition when shutting vehicle off. Key is 'stuck' in accessory mode and will not turn all the way to allow it to be removed. Have to restart vehicle, then shut off, and maybe key will come out. This issue is reported frequently on internet forums as a problem with GMC Canyon and Chevy Colorado vehicles.
