Headlights flicker approximately every 30 seconds. Creates unsafe driving conditions and is a distraction to other divers. Other drivers assume I am flashing my headlights at them. Dealer has not been able to fix the issue. This occurs whenever the lights are on.

Bought ‘24 Canyon one week ago. Vehicle headlights flicker a second at a time on their own. Flicker seems to happen once every 1-2 minutes. Flicker can cause confusion with other drivers and ignite road rage.

Headlights flicker (on/off) very rapidly, independent of each other, at random times.

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.

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.

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.

Headlights flicker intermittently causing a safety issue when driving at night which could unintentionally signal to other drivers to proceed when you are not expecting or headlights could go out completely at night

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.

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.
