  • 2024 GMC CANYON
    - League City, TX

    Headlights flicker independently randomly. Does not matter what position headlights are in (auto, on, highbeam). GM looked and confirmed issue but said to not replace any modules or other parts until they can redesign the headlights. Happening on all 2024 GMC Canyons. Issue during daytime driving could lead to road rage. Issue at night is worse obviously because it is very distracting to oncoming and other drivers. Police could think you are trying to warn other drivers of their presence which would lead to a citation but mostly the distraction and irritation to other drivers is going to lead to an accident or worse. GMC needs to recall these Canyons and get a fix immediately.

    I was driving at night and noticed both headlights would flicker off and then back on. Oncoming drivers on the highway were flashing their highbeams at me because they thought I was flashing my lights at them. My girlfriend was driving her new motorcycle home in front of me and had to pull over to ask why I kept flashing my lights at her. It was a very hazardous situation. The dealership ordered two new headlights for my vehicle and took several weeks to repair it.

    Head lights flicker on and off both sides in a rapid succession. Lasts 2 seconds maximum then works for a few minutes before flickering again. This has happened since 50km of owning the car.

  • 2022 GMC CANYON
    - El Paso, TX

    Key gets stuck in ignition when attempting to turn off vehicle. This leaves people stranded with their vehicles in hot/cold weather, dangerous areas, etc... Many people have been bypassing this problem by removing steering column and disconnecting a wire that allows the key to be released. But disconnection of said wire allows the key to be removed and shut off at any time, including driving down the highway at 70mph, serious safety hazard for driver and those on the road. Dealer has confirmed this issue and currently working on repairing my vehicle but it is a widespread issue with certain GM vehicles to include the canyon, colorado, camaro, and equinox.

  • 2023 GMC TERRAIN
    - Farmington, KY

    When I bought the vehicle new from dealership, they told me that side blind zone alert was not available at that time due to a semiconductor shortage, but that it would be available and could be retrofitted after they were available. I noticed that the 2022 retrofit had been authorized, and I need to know when I will be able to get this option retrofitted on my vehicle. It has horrible blind spots, and I have to literally turn around completely to see if there is anyone in the blind spots which is very dangerous because I’m taking my eyes off the vehicles in front of me to see the blind spots. This is dangerous in city driving where you are going 70mph in 4-6 lane traffic, almost bumper to bumper. If someone hits the brakes while I’m checking blind spots, then that could cause a wreck. I have all the other driver assistance, so the front braking will brake, but it is not a good idea for that to happen when someone is riding on your rear when the brakes slam on. I know I’m unique because I only see out of one eye at a time, but I believe this would still be a terrible issue for anyone trying to drive in traffic. I know the assistance packages don’t replace human interaction, but I do rely on those options to help me because of my eye condition. I told that to the dealer when I purchased this vehicle and they assured me that it was just a result of the shortages and it would be available for retrograde. I have called the dealer three or four times to check on this because at first they told me I was on the list and they would call me when the chip came in and they said it would be a few months. Well it’s been over a year and when I call now, they say it isn’t available and I asked them if I could just purchase the system myself instead of waiting for the recall, and they said I probably couldn’t afford it or it be worth it. I have looked on your site and others and I’ve seen nothing about it being in the works, so I want to report it so maybe you will look into it.

  • 2017 GMC SIERRA 1500
    - Benton, AR

    Noticed a/c getting warm. Attempted refilling Freon without success. Took by auto shop and they discovered the welds to the top driver side of the condenser were in question and ruptured causing a Freon leak. They advised a replacement and stated “this is very common with GM model trucks and SUVs. Save your info and report for recall. They need to recall these models for their a/c issues.” Condenser replaced with receipt attached

    The led headlights flicker randomly while driving. This is very distracting to me and the vehicles in front of me. I just purchased the truck Friday (8/9) and noticed it on my way home from the dealership.
