2024 GMC CANYON Complaints

The valve body on GM's 8 speed transmission is a known fail point for many GM truck owners. I believe the NHTSA should investigate this for the extreme risk of an accident. My truck has been inoperable for a month awaiting a back ordered part. When driven, the truck displays erratic behavior and will downshift and decelerate rapidly and without warning. The risk of being rear-ended is very high.

Since buying this truck new in june of 24 the headlights will flicker. Randomly as you drive or when parked the headlights will turn off for a second then come back on. Often at night the lights flicker numerous times

Front low beam headlights will flicker on and off for a second while driving or sitting at a stop in auto or constant on mode. They will flicker every 2-3 minutes causing cars to flash and brake check you as they thing you are flashing your lights at them.

Headlights in on position, every few minutes both left and right headlights along with DRLs flicker off and back on very quickly.

The headlights randomly flicker on and off while driving at night. This not only causes a distraction while i'm driving but is also affecting other drivers. Drivers in the other lane keep mistaking the flicker as me turning on my bright lights which is leading other driver to retaliate and either put on their bright lights or flash their brights at me. I also had one instance where a car I was following thought I was continually flashing my head lights at him and he proceeded to get behind me and tailgate me with his bright lights on. Due to the frequency of the issue and the unknown cause I fear that at some point the lights will go out completely while driving at night. The truck has been taken to the dealer an they state they are unable to reproduce however there is an only forum where multiple owners are reporting the same issue. I also posted a video to youtube demonstrating the issue [XXX] ). Here is a link to the forum where other owners are discussing the issue [XXX] ). Vehicle has only been inspected by the Dealership. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms prior to the failure. The vehicle is new and the issue has been present since the truck was new. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was driving with my cruise control set at 77 mph in the fast lane of a four-lane highway. There was no one in front of me for more than 3/4 of a mile. A car in the lane to my right apparently triggered the automatic breaking system to the point it slammed on my brakes, pushed me into the steering wheel, and slowed me all the way to 38 mph in the fast lane of the freeway. The result of this unrequested breaking caused four cars behind me to almost rear end me and pile up. The second event was going down the freeway with the cruise control set at 65 and nobody around me and the car again slammed the brakes on for no apparent reason. At this point I’m afraid to drive the car. I have zero confidence in this vehicle letting me operate the vehicle. I need help.
