2024 GMC CANYON Complaints

Safety Issue: Headlights and running lights flicker off and on every 1-2 minutes.

Headlights intermittently flicker when on sitting still or driving. This happens from a couple of times a minute, up to 5 or 8 times a minute. Other drivers are flashing their high beams at me because of this flaw. I can see a road rage incident occurring because of the issue.

Headlights flickering while driving. And it is quite noticable and distracting to other drivers. I feel this could cause accidents. I have been flashed by upcoming drivers due to them thinking I turned on my bright lights. And this is constant at 2 to 5 minute intervals. The dealer can't fix cause GMC doesn't know how to fix. And neither GMC or the dealer is going to contact me when there is a fix. The dealer said call every 2 weeks and they will check on line for any updates for the problem.

The Headlights flicker, mostly noticeable at night. They do not remain a steady beam of illumination. This is a major distraction and noticeable by other drivers as well as I have been asked not so kindly by another driver, why I keep flashing my lights at them. I have had this vehicle at the dealership for over a month, waiting for a repair. This is a brand new vehicle and should not have this kind of defect in the lighting. I need my vehicle fixed.

Headlights flicker at night. GM is saying there is no fix and no ETA. It happens periodically when headlights are on. Not a one time issue

I noticed within a day or so of receiving my new 2024 GMC Cayon that the headlights would randomly flicker. No specific pattern or time interval just random. When I was finally able to get the truck in to the dealership for service, they reviewed the issue and called me the following day to inform me that couldn't repair it. Seems that GMC is aware and they currently have no fix since all headlights they have in stock potentially have the same issue. It seems obvious to me that driving at night with headlights that will not stay on is a huge safety issue and needless to say I do not want to cause an accident or get cited for an issue the manufacturer has no repair for. Leaving my only vehicle parked at home till a fix is found is not an option either.

Lights flicker intermittently causing a distraction and limiting visibility when driving at night.

headlights will flicker/flash intermittently. Vehicle will flash beams , vehicles will brake check thinking they are being flashed. Dealers informed that there is no fix at this time no update new vehicle was brought in shop a few weeks after purchase no update on this issue

Constant headlight flickering. Lights sometimes shut off totally. Almost caused (2) accidents due to this safety issue! Why will the NTSB not make GM file a recall for this issue? Does someone need to be killed first? Do your job and make GM do theirs!

The headlights will flicker for a split second every 1-5 minutes, affecting both headlamps. While this issue does not make the car unusable, it is not expected of a brand new vehicle and could be interpreted by other drivers as aggressive signaling that leads to potential road rage escalations.
