EXTERIOR LIGHTING
When On, the normal beam headlights randomly flicker off and back on very quickly. This occurs when headlight control is in "Auto" or "Manual On". Its periodicity varies. The flicker is so fast that driver visibility is not impacted much at this time. However, on coming vehicles and vehicle in front of my truck are getting lights flickered at them. This can lead to confusion, annoyance and road rage. The primary impact is getting brights flashed towards me, which does inhibit my vision for a time.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
My headlights keep flickering immerdiently, it doesn't matter if they are on auto or manually. I called the dealership I purchased it from and they said there is nothing they can do until they receive a resolution from GMC. This poses a safety hazard at night. Not only that, people keep thinking I am flashing my lights at them.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
The headlight assemblies has a random blinking, flashing, flicker, on/off problem. This causes people to think I am either flashing them or blinking my light at them. Major safety concern!! GM is aware of this issue and does not have a fix. I requested a different vehicle to drive until they fix this safety issue and was denied.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
My GMC Canyon has an issue with flickering of the headlights at night, which sometimes results in one side or the other going completely out. I'm part of several Canyon forums, and this seems to be an issue with most 2024 Canyons. The flicker is more of an annoyance, as I can still see, but I do believe it blinds oncoming drivers when it happens, as they flash me. Obviously headlights going completely out is another issue. I have not had both go out at the same time, but many others have. The flicker happens every time my headlights are on. The total outage has only happened once. I did contact the dealership where I purchased this, and they said this is a known issue with no resolution yet. They sent me TSB #PIT6203, which states there is a known issue with the "issue internal to the LED controller that is part of the headlamp assembly". This TSB initially had a fix of replacing the headlight assemblies, but was updated in July to instruct dealers not to do that, as it doesn't fix the issue.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Vehicle headlights flicker on/ off momentarily at random when travelling at night. The flickering is NOT the automatic high beam function. When flickering occurs vehicles ahead may believe the lights are being flashed at them. GM issued a repair order to replace headlights but has since stopped performing replacement because problem has not been solved.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The headlights in front of truck are doing a flicker here and there. It is happening by itself, during normal operation. It kind of looks like I'm flashing my high beams when it happens. People may think I'm flashing my high beams at them when I'm not. I think other people are having the same issue with this GMC truck. I have not contacted GM waiting to see if they will publish something, since it seems like they are now aware of the issue?

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
My headlights flicker. The issue is problematic because other drivers think I'm flashing my lights at them. There are no warnings on the dash the vehicle is brand new. I took it home last friday. It creates a driver distraction and is unsafe. I took the vehicle back to the dealer and they advised a software update was coming. When? My problem is not resolved.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Headlights flicker often and usually one side at a time, sometimes one side is out for a second or 2. Drivers in front of me think I'm flashing them and get upset, it's annoying to keep seeing it every 1-2 minutes and makes driving at night miserable. Started the night of delivery. Dealer notified and awaiting call back.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Headlights periodically turn off and on while driving automatically, randomly, and without warning. Causes other drivers to become confused, disoriented, or enraged. Drivers think they are being intentionally flashed or harassed and respond with brake check or moving to another lane and becoming visibly distressed. This is a new truck, with less than 500 miles, and no warning lights are issued.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The issue involves the headlight assemblies flickering frequently. The whole headlight assembly will randomly turn off and on, one at a time typically. It will cause temporary loss of sight down road at night. I have also noticed other motorists flash their brights at me thinking that's what the flicker was, so it's causing disruptions to other drivers as well. GM is aware of the issue but has no fix in place and no timeframe for the fix.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The headlights flicker off and on every 30 seconds or so while driving or stationary. This occurs no matter what setting the headlight are in. Other drivers think I am flashing my lights at them and have responded negatively by brake checking me in traffic, flashing their high beams at me when oncoming etc. I am worried that the lights may flicker off and stay off while driving at night. The dealer has recreated the problem but still has no fix. My truck has been in the dealer's shop since mid July.
