EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Headlights flicker every couple of minutes. Very concerning driving at night. Incoming traffic thinks I’m flashing them. Not good these days. Contacted dealer. They are aware there is a problem. They stated that GM has not come up with a fix yet. To me that answer is unacceptable.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Headlights turn off and on randomly every few seconds. No fault lights on dashboard. Dealership confirmed issue exists. Dealership was advised to replace control module by GM. This did not fix the issue. Advised to change headlight assemblies but they are backordered with no ETA. This issue causes confusion to other drivers and is a safety hazard while driving at night. No recall issued yet.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Driver’s and passenger side daytime running lights and headlights flicker off randomly. This creates the potential that the lights may fail while needed at night leaving the driver without forward illumination. It has lead to drivers in front of me thinking I’m flashing my lights at them while following which in turn the driver in front of me slows down excessively in protest of their belief that I am flashing lights at them. I’ve also had oncoming traffic flash their high beams at me believing I activated my high beams at them thereby creating an unnecessary blinding situation. The flashing could be interpreted by either oncoming traffic or a pedestrian that I am yielding the right of way when I actually am not and lead to a motor vehicle accident or a pedestrian being struck or at minimum put at risk.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, STEERING
Been experiencing an intermittent issue. After completing an indicated right hand turn, the vehicle will signal a left turn for 3 blinks. This is a safety issue because the vehicle is signaling a left turn when no turn is intended.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The headlights flicker on and off. Possibly to stay off. Other pedestrians think I’m singling them to cross in front of me when I’m not. Other drivers get angry because they think I’m flashing my high beams. This is a huge safety issue

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Both headlights intermittently flicker on and off during operation. This is distracting for the driver while driving at night, and also distracts other drivers both ahead and oncoming. Dealer has reviewed the issue and is awaiting direction from the manufacturer for best way to resolve. No warning lamps or fault codes occured. The issue began within 30 minutes of purchase leaving dealership.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
When driving at night or anytime for that matter, and the low beams are engaged, the whole light housing will momentarily shut off and turn back on. This can cause safety issues, especially since it looks like you are flashing people. It happens randomly and affects both the driver side headlight and passenger side headlight. It will only stop if you turn the entire headlight housing off, or only have the daytime running lights on. I am unable to attach videos. This issue seems to affect 2024 GMC Canyons manufactured after April 2024.

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.

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.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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
