EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Headlights periodically turn off and on while driving automatically, randomly, and without warning. Causes other drivers to become confused, disoriented, or enraged. Drivers think they are being intentionally flashed or harassed and respond with brake check or moving to another lane and becoming visibly distressed. This is a new truck, with less than 500 miles, and no warning lights are issued.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The issue involves the headlight assemblies flickering frequently. The whole headlight assembly will randomly turn off and on, one at a time typically. It will cause temporary loss of sight down road at night. I have also noticed other motorists flash their brights at me thinking that's what the flicker was, so it's causing disruptions to other drivers as well. GM is aware of the issue but has no fix in place and no timeframe for the fix.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The headlights flicker off and on every 30 seconds or so while driving or stationary. This occurs no matter what setting the headlight are in. Other drivers think I am flashing my lights at them and have responded negatively by brake checking me in traffic, flashing their high beams at me when oncoming etc. I am worried that the lights may flicker off and stay off while driving at night. The dealer has recreated the problem but still has no fix. My truck has been in the dealer's shop since mid July.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The headlights flicker on and off frequently (every minute to two minutes). This put my safety at risk for not being able to see the road clear and causing a acident. It puts other drivers safety at risk because they get flashing lights pointed at their windshield and can cause and accident. It is also a safety risk because other drivers assume the flickering is being done by me the driver on purpose and I am concerned it will start road rage or another driver to escalate thinking I am road raging at them. Dealer is aware of the problem. No warning lamps. Started with 40 miles on the truck.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Headlights have an intermittent flicker that happens every 2 to 3 minutes. This flicker is a complete shutdown of the headlight for a fraction of a second, but long enough to notice and have other people in other vehicles notice as well. It is repeatable, and has been repeated by the dealer. It puts my safety at risk. Dealer stated and produced a bulletin that states they are aware of the problem, but do not have a fix for it yet. Bulletin is PIT6203A.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
This truck was purchased brand new on [XXX]. Noticed lights are intermittently flickering (every 2-4 minutes) when driving at night on [XXX]. We took vehicle in to dealership (Jessup Automotive) on 8/23/24 where is was purchased and work order stated, "Engineering is aware of this concern and is working towards a resolution. It is no longer recommended to replace the headlamp assemblies as it has been found that the issue is present in the replacements currently stocked at CCA. This PI will be updated when this direction changes." Other vehicles think you are blinking your lights at them. We took a video. Also, there are other vehicles of people having same issue on [XXX] . The vehicle has been inspected by dealership. We are taking to another GMC to get second opinion. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms before the failure. Owners on the website mentioned that changing the headlight assembly worked. They stated change module or headlights did not work. This problem has been going on at least since since May 2024. We have paid $40,000 for a truck that we are worried about driving at night. Waiting for call back from GMC now who we called on August 23, 2024 in which they stated they would call back within two business day. I have video, however it won't attach.

The headlights keep flickering. Oncoming traffic thinks I am flashing them for some reason. It’s very unsafe to drive this vehicle at night due to this issue. I would like the issue fixed asap.
