EXTERIOR LIGHTING
My 2024 GMC Canyon AT4X picked up on Saturday 8/10/24. First time driving it at night I kept noticing a flickering of the headlights. I confirmed after reading multiple complaints online about the headlight blinking on many GMC forums. I have a video of it and have shown it to the dealership service department. They are ordering a lighting control module for the headlamp assembly. Very concerning that a headlight malfunction with less that 20 miles on the vehicle. And very noticeable at night almost looking like you are flashing your headlight at drivers in front of you.

Headlights blink intermittently when driving. The issue occurs every 2 min or so. The blinking may be construed by other road users as an indication to move over or other unintended confusion. Issue has been documented in a video.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The vehicle headlights flicker off and on intermittently, sometimes within a few seconds of each occurrence, other times several minutes between flickering off and on. The flickering is distracting to the driver of the vehicle and to other drivers as well as oncoming drivers flash lights back. The dealership has been notified and they are aware of other complaints on 2024 GMC Canyon vehicles. This is a known issue among other owners and apparently GM as the issue has been voiced on social media sites related to the Canyon and on Canyon related group forums.

Headlights flicker every minute or so. Sometimes every few seconds. Makes it appear that I’m flashing oncoming traffic or those I’m following. Appears GM has known about it for months but no fix yet. PIT6203A

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Key gets stuck in ignition when attempting to turn off vehicle. This leaves people stranded with their vehicles in hot/cold weather, dangerous areas, etc... Many people have been bypassing this problem by removing steering column and disconnecting a wire that allows the key to be released. But disconnection of said wire allows the key to be removed and shut off at any time, including driving down the highway at 70mph, serious safety hazard for driver and those on the road. Dealer has confirmed this issue and currently working on repairing my vehicle but it is a widespread issue with certain GM vehicles to include the canyon, colorado, camaro, and equinox.

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.

LED Headlamps blink off and back on in a fraction of a second. Occurs when vehicle is moving or parked. Can be replicated in daylight by manually turning headlights on in the control center.

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.

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.
