Formal Complaint to NHTSA: 2019 GMC Canyon Transmission Issue To Whom It May Concern at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA): I am writing to formally report a recurring and dangerous transmission issue in my 2019 GMC Canyon, and to request that NHTSA open an investigation into why General Motors has not issued a safety recall — despite widespread complaints and technical service bulletins.
