The contact owns a 2024 GMC Canyon. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the front headlights were flickering intermittently. There was no warning light illuminated.

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, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Headlight flicker, affects day time running light, low beam, high beam and possibly taillights. Lighter flicker off and on periodically about every 1-2 minutes consistently regardless of driving or parked, and regardless if the lights are switched on automatically or manually. Problem has been continuous since purchase of vehicle 1 month ago.

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.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Headlights are continuously flickering and GM does not have a solution. This is concerning because drivers think I am constantly flashing my lights at them which has resulted in them flashing their brights at me. This could cause an accident, so I am very concerned about driving the truck at night. GM needs to address this immediately before someone is hurt.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
As I've heard many others report, my Canyon has the headlight flicker problem that seems to be plaguing these vehicles. Driving during the night, the headlights will periodically go out every couple of minutes. It is very brief (less that 0.5 second) but very distracting and cannot be safe for other vehicles on the road.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The headlights while driving will flicker completely off. This happens during the daylight lights are on and at night when main headlights are on. This is very dangerous and concerning while driving at night when I have to drive on country roads where the headlights are vital. This issue also creates unnecessary confusion with other drivers as they are under impression I'm flashing my lights at them.
