2024 GMC CANYON Complaints

Battery dies during vehicle update spontanteniouly. After jumoing vehicle to start it all systems will not return to normal causing brakes not to function normally. I jumped my vehicle after one system update and brakes failed to engage almost causing an acident. these vehicles should not be on the road due to the software safety flaws. GMC is aware of this and still have no fix for the problem. There are numerous accounts of this happening to this vehicle on forums and solcial media.

While addressing the Headlamp Flicker recall N242468880 another problem was caused. The Drivers side headlamp is always on high-beam There is no way to turn it off. I have had two incidents where oncoming traffic has crossed the double yellow line. The dealer states that the entire headlight mist be replaced and it is on backorder with no expected date of availability. This 2024 GMC Canyon is blinding oncoming traffic and is a risk to myself, my passengers, and oncoming traffic. I have a case open with GM and it has accomplished nothing. GM case number 9-14098737984

When the right turn signal cancels after completing a right turn, the left turn signal activates, flashing 3 times. This appears to be the result of a defective design with the turn signal level. The dealer has acknowledged the problem and has stated that there is a bulletin from GM from several months ago which does not provide any resolution to the issue. This is a safety issue since the turn signals are not operating correctly, which could confuse other drivers.

When the right hand turn signal is cancelled following a right hand turn, the left turn signal flashes to indicate a lane change. This would falsely indicate intention of changing lanes.

The back seat is not secured tightly. When the bottom seat is down, and should be locked, there is 3-4 inches of play when lifting up on the bottom seat. It does not seem to lock properly. I told the dealership about it, and they compared it to another vehicle on the lot that did the same thing. They did not seem concerned, but if a latch is defective, anyone in the backseat could be harmed if the latch fails during an emergency stop or accident.

Where to begin... As I bought my first truck, literally within 10 days after buying the GMC Canyon 2024, the car is shaking uncontrollably on the highway... 35 MPH max speed, extremely dangerous situation, 8 AM on a busy Watterson Expressway in Louisville, KY. I was so scared I was going to crash and potentially get hurt or worse. They told me "they had never seen this happen to a Canyon before" which is obviously a lie. The car was serviced for 21 calendar days, and now my lights are spotty and I can't drive my car at night. I got this truck [XXX]. There was no communication on when it was to be ready. There are issues with a lot of minor things as well like the navigation systems. I have logged every call with the Dealership, Courtesy Buick GMC in Louisville as well as summarized every point of contact, and with very spotty responses and the manager, Frank, wont respond to my emails and was extremely uncooperative as I asked to trade it in as I was genuinely concerned about my safety and he told me absolutely not.

Turn signal not working properly and GM has not issued a solution to dealerships. Issue: When you use your turn signal to change lanes or turn onto a new street, the turn signal will flash to let drivers know. However, when you turn off your turn signal manually or the truck turns off the turn signal automatically when you turn the corner, instead of the turn signal stopping, it starts flash in the opposite direction by itself and eventually stops. This can be confusing for drivers and could result in an accident if someone thinks you are signalling and then go in a different direction.

i have had this truck 3 months and already had software problems and now I had to drive to Hammond LA after dark and the headlights were blinking, going up and down. I was passing an 18 wheeler and the light beam went up and i almost went under the 18 wheeler. God was with me for sure.. i have not received any info on the recall and went by the dealership where I bought it and they sAid I would have to wait until I get a notice in the mail. so now I cannot drive at night and I need to. what is a person suppose to do?

The contact owns a 2024 GMC Canyon. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed at night, he observed the headlights flickering. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V673000 (Exterior Lighting); but the vehicle had already been repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 5,000.

When I make a right turn, after completing it, my left turn signal flashes three times. This is very confusing to other drivers around me and I’m concerned could cause an accident. This has been occurring since I purchased the vehicle. The dealership advised that the headlight flicker repair would likely fix it, but it did not.
