2024 GMC CANYON Complaints

About every five to six minutes my headlamps will flicker. Googled online and found a forum for Colorado and Canyon owners who are experiencing the same thing. Some people on there have said GM is aware of the problem.

Lights flicker when driving at night. Drivers think I am flashing, flicker causes a distraction on the road. GM service denies the issue. No warnings. Happens every 5 minutes.

The headlights flicker constantly at night. They very quickly power off and back on appearing to other vehicles as if we are flashing our lights. This is a common issue among the 2024 gmc canyons in the facebook owner groups. Its a safety hazard and could also provoke other drivers.

Headlamps flicker intermittently, every 2-5 mins. Common problem and well documented/discussed on owner forums. There was a tsb issued by gm, bit it was rescinded shortly thereafter. No fix is currently known. Headlight flickers cause other drivers to flash their headlights back at you, as well as other aggressive and unsafe behaviors by other drivers.

LED headlamps on both sides of vehicle routinely "flicker" / "blink". The effect is such that oncoming traffic assumes you are "flashing" them or "high beaming" them. Have had several encounters with motorists honking at me or yelling as I pass by. I was also break checked by a vehicle in front of me on the highway when driving at night. These incidents have made driving at night very stressful..... and potentially dangerous. Dealership has been notified and initially stated that they would replace headlamps and ordered those items. I day before my appointment , they cancelled and said that GM was no longer replacing headlamps and was "working on a fix" PIT # 6203A. No time table has been given. This issue is apparently widespread on 2024 Canyons built between March and June of 2024.

Headlights blink or flicker off and on. Both will do it but not at same time. Seems to be only low beams and happens driving or parked. Have been to dealer and they saw it happening. GM is aware and have a bulletin #PIT6203 Headlamp or DRL Flicker or Flash (July 16, 2024) and #PIT6203A ( July 30, 2024 ) Concerns are other drivers or pedestrians think I'm flashing my lights at them signaling to pull out or walk in front of me. I'm afraid one of these times they will not turn back on.

The contact owns a 2024 GMC Canyon. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to slow the vehicle while in traffic, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to slow as quickly as needed. The contact stated that the brake pedal required increased effort to slow the vehicle. The ABS and traction control warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who diagnosed failures with the brake master cylinder and ABS control module. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 250.

The headlights on the vehicle will flicker/ short out. This creates a high risk when operating the vehicle at night. Vehicle was brought into the dealer for service on 08/05/2024, was told there is no current solution for this problem at this time. No warning light on the dash.

Headlights Flicker / GMC knows there is an issue with this / I will be making an appointment with dealership to get it fixed based on document attached

Headlights began flickering two days after purchase of vehicle. Infotainment screen that operates the headlights, as there is no physical headlight knobs or buttons, also malfunction and is inoperable. So I can not turn my headlights on or off, they're set to auto and I can not adjust it. Service department at my dealership has been able to replicate my issues and are trying to fix them, but parts availability is an issue. GM has informed me that the parts are delayed with no eta of when they would be available. Issues with the headlights flickering could lead other drivers to think I'm flashing my lights at them as I'm telling them to go ahead and that could cause a wreck. Also with the flickering there is a chance that the lights could completely cut off or go out and if I'm driving at night that would be a very big issue. Especially since the Infotainment screen that I need to operate the headlight functions is also inoperable. The Infotainment screen is also on national backorder per GM. 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.
