EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Headlights flicker independently randomly. Does not matter what position headlights are in (auto, on, highbeam). GM looked and confirmed issue but said to not replace any modules or other parts until they can redesign the headlights. Happening on all 2024 GMC Canyons. Issue during daytime driving could lead to road rage. Issue at night is worse obviously because it is very distracting to oncoming and other drivers. Police could think you are trying to warn other drivers of their presence which would lead to a citation but mostly the distraction and irritation to other drivers is going to lead to an accident or worse. GMC needs to recall these Canyons and get a fix immediately.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I was driving at night and noticed both headlights would flicker off and then back on. Oncoming drivers on the highway were flashing their highbeams at me because they thought I was flashing my lights at them. My girlfriend was driving her new motorcycle home in front of me and had to pull over to ask why I kept flashing my lights at her. It was a very hazardous situation. The dealership ordered two new headlights for my vehicle and took several weeks to repair it.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LED Headlamps blink off and back on in a fraction of a second. Seems to be related to low beam setting. Seems to not be related to auto-dimming functionality. Seems to be a narrow build date window from late Spring 2024 thru June 2024. Occurs when vehicle is moving or parked. Can be replicated in daylight by manually turning headlights on in the control center. GM documented with Document ID 6691954 "#PIT6203: Headlamp or DRL Flicker or Flash (July 16, 2024) Possible hazards include oncoming drivers being flashed from flicker. Oncoming drivers thinking they're being signaled by the flicker. Pedestrians or cyclists thinking the flash or flicker is signaling them to proceed and that vehicle operator will yield. Possible that headlamps will stay off when they flicker, rendering the driver unable to see during night driving. Please consider escalating this issue to a formal recall due to dangers outlined above.

Possible that headlamps will stay off when they flicker, rendering the driver unable to see during night driving. Since the PIT6203 was created (with the recommended action of replacing headlamp assemblies), GMC is now advising to NOT replace them, but offers no further solution. I've received no official word from GMC or the dealership on that, but while they explore a solution, I'm driving a brand new vehicle with a potentially dangerous manufacturing / build flaw. Please consider escalating this issue to a formal recall due to dangers outlined above.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
My headlights flicker or blink without warning and I feel that they could fail while on the highway. I purchased my truck on the 1st of August 2024. Gm had issued a service letter for the problem on the 30th of July 2024 but they still sold me truck without mentioning the defect.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Headlights are flickering intermittently, causing oncoming drivers to think they are being bright lighted. Which causes them to bright light me. Also, headlight flickering causes trailed vehicle drivers to think I am signaling them to stop. Both situations are hazardous, in my opinion.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Approximately every minute while driving with the headlights on, they will turn off/flicker for a split-second. This makes it seem like I’m flashing my lights at other vehicles, and also makes the lights turn off while driving for a split second which is distracting. This has happened since the vehicle was purchased new and it happens any time the headlights are turned on.

LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION, EXTERIOR LIGHTING, STEERING
Headlight flickering causing vehicles infront of my truck to slow down or break. Been to dealership multiple times for headlight problem. Recent headlight assembly replacement. Headlight flickering still present in truck after headlight assembly replacement. Blind spot indicators intermittently work, on highway, had couple times I relied on indicators that did not illuminate. Dealer could not find issue but same day I picked up truck from service, blind spots weren’t picking up some vehicles either passing or getting passed. Steering wheel noise when turning. Dealer took part steering column, but could not find a problem. Was told it was just sound from motor in steering column. Test drive exact model truck and year, no noise from that truck while turning steering wheel

About every five to six minutes my headlamps will flicker. Googled online and found a forum for Colorado and Canyon owners who are experiencing the same thing. Some people on there have said GM is aware of the problem.
