EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Purchased vehicle 8/3/2024 and on way home experienced headlights were flickering. The problem continued and is so bad approaching vehicles will flash their bright headlights at my truck. At a 4 way stop other vehicles think I’m flashing them to go. This flickering makes it impossible to drive safely at night. It’s not only a distraction to me but other drivers as well. I brought the vehicle back to the GMC dealer and was told they were aware of the problem and have no solution to correct it. This is an unsafe vehicle to drive at night and is a distraction to other drivers. The only response from GM is they are aware of the problem.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, SEAT BELTS
Since new headlights have flicker. Took to dealership, they stated that this is a known problem with the 2024 headlights and they have no repair and gave the truck back. NO DATE OF REPAIR PROMISED OR IMPLIED. The headlights are not just an immediate danger on for driver in truck but on coming traffic. I have been pulled over for "flashing" a police officer, flip off from other drivers that think I am flashing them. Please help the entire 2024 canyon population as this is a common problem.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Headlights frequently flickering. Flickering varies from 30 seconds to 5 minutes in between. Very random and unpredictable. Service department at the dealership was able to replicate the issue. They found a bulletin, PIT6203 that said to replace the headlights, so they ordered new ones. After three weeks I called the dealer and they said GM cancelled the order because replacing the headlights did not resolve the issue. Headlights flickering has caused other drivers to flash their lights at me. Concerned that other drivers may see my lights flicker and assume I’m giving them to go ahead causing them to pull in front of me causing an accident. Additionally there is a concern my lights completely going out while driving.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The headlights flicker when driving at night. Every minute they turn of and back on quickly. The cars in front think I am flashing them and they pull over to the side or slow down. This started at 200 miles.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Headlights flicker once every couple of minutes or so. This could very well indicate me flashing someone to turn or go in front of me. I have seen multiple internet threads of this same issue happening to 2024 GMC Canyon owners. The car has 500 miles on it and I've noticed it since I've had the vehicle. No warning signs or anything. Seems like it is computer related.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Headlights Flickering frequently while driving or parked. Causes other drivers in front of me to think I am high beaming them or flashing my lights at them. Causes quick moments of darkness and is disorienting when driving at night. No warning lights or signs of damage. This issue has been reported by many other vehicle owners and currently GM has not published a solution. Other vehicle owners reported that dealerships did not resolve the problem after replacing the headlight module and updating firmware. The solution is believed to be to replace the headlight assemble due to bad diodes during manufacturing. Headlights have done this since I bought the car.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The headlights on the truck turn off for a split second and continue to do so randomly. If I had to guess they are turning off and on every 5 minutes. This causes people in front of me to think I am flashing them and the bigger concern is if they were to not turn back on again. The dealer I brought it to said that GM is currently working on a software solution to figure out the problem. Researching this issue online I found that there is a TSB already filed (PIT6203) for this issue and it sounds like there is some success fixing the issue by swapping out the headlights but does not always fix the issue. GM has not come out with an official solution for this widespread issue yet.
