Since new headlights have flicker. Took to dealership, they stated that this is a known problem with the 2024 headlights and they have no repair and gave the truck back. NO DATE OF REPAIR PROMISED OR IMPLIED. The headlights are not just an immediate danger on for driver in truck but on coming traffic. I have been pulled over for "flashing" a police officer, flip off from other drivers that think I am flashing them. Please help the entire 2024 canyon population as this is a common problem.
2024 GMC Canyon lights complaints
Page 4 of 6: complaints 71 to 100 of 159, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Headlights frequently flickering. Flickering varies from 30 seconds to 5 minutes in between. Very random and unpredictable. Service department at the dealership was able to replicate the issue. They found a bulletin, PIT6203 that said to replace the headlights, so they ordered new ones. After three weeks I called the dealer and they said GM cancelled the order because replacing the headlights did not resolve the issue. Headlights flickering has caused other drivers to flash their lights at me. Concerned that other drivers may see my lights flicker and assume I’m giving them to go ahead causing them to pull in front of me causing an accident. Additionally there is a concern my lights completely going out while driving.
The headlights flicker when driving at night. Every minute they turn of and back on quickly. The cars in front think I am flashing them and they pull over to the side or slow down. This started at 200 miles.
Headlights flicker once every couple of minutes or so. This could very well indicate me flashing someone to turn or go in front of me. I have seen multiple internet threads of this same issue happening to 2024 GMC Canyon owners. The car has 500 miles on it and I've noticed it since I've had the vehicle. No warning signs or anything. Seems like it is computer related.
My headlights keep flickering on and off. And that has to be dangerous
The headlights go off and on. Sometimes they flicker.
Headlights flicker randomly
Headlights flicker all the time regardless of speed Radar cruise control will slam on the brakes for no reason even when there's nothing in front of me. (Seems to happen more at night) Blindspot monitoring will randomly turn on for no reason
Headlights flickering/blinking every 1-3 minutes intervals when on. This bothers oncoming traffic.
The contact owns a 2024 GMC Canyon. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the front headlights were flickering intermittently. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the failure was acknowledged; however, the contact was informed that mechanics were not authorized by the manufacturer to repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure but offered no assistance. Upon investigation, the contact discovered Technical Service Bulletin: PIT6103A; which was linked to the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 50.
Headlamps flickering. At first the automatic high beams were causing an issue so I turned that off then it was the headlamps while running normal continue to flicker while driving.
Lights flickering while driving at night
The headlight assemblies randomly flicker, and occurs while driving and while parked. It includes the HID headlights and the LED daytime running lights. The dealer has confirmed that the issue exists with this model vehicle; however, there is currently no fix.
Headlights Flickering frequently while driving or parked. Causes other drivers in front of me to think I am high beaming them or flashing my lights at them. Causes quick moments of darkness and is disorienting when driving at night. No warning lights or signs of damage. This issue has been reported by many other vehicle owners and currently GM has not published a solution. Other vehicle owners reported that dealerships did not resolve the problem after replacing the headlight module and updating firmware. The solution is believed to be to replace the headlight assemble due to bad diodes during manufacturing. Headlights have done this since I bought the car.
Headlight flicker, affects day time running light, low beam, high beam and possibly taillights. Lighter flicker off and on periodically about every 1-2 minutes consistently regardless of driving or parked, and regardless if the lights are switched on automatically or manually. Problem has been continuous since purchase of vehicle 1 month ago.
Both headlights flicker every 1-2 minutes, does matter if switch is on automatic or on.
The headlights on the truck turn off for a split second and continue to do so randomly. If I had to guess they are turning off and on every 5 minutes. This causes people in front of me to think I am flashing them and the bigger concern is if they were to not turn back on again. The dealer I brought it to said that GM is currently working on a software solution to figure out the problem. Researching this issue online I found that there is a TSB already filed (PIT6203) for this issue and it sounds like there is some success fixing the issue by swapping out the headlights but does not always fix the issue. GM has not come out with an official solution for this widespread issue yet.
Headlights flickering
Front headlights, marker lights, and drive lights flicker off and on while vehicle is running and while driving at night.
Headlights blink intermittently and separately. Have taken to dealer but was told GM does not have a fix at this time. Have noticed numerous complaints of same problem from other GM Canyon and Colorado owners.
The headlights have an occasional flicker.
Headlights are continuously flickering and GM does not have a solution. This is concerning because drivers think I am constantly flashing my lights at them which has resulted in them flashing their brights at me. This could cause an accident, so I am very concerned about driving the truck at night. GM needs to address this immediately before someone is hurt.
As I've heard many others report, my Canyon has the headlight flicker problem that seems to be plaguing these vehicles. Driving during the night, the headlights will periodically go out every couple of minutes. It is very brief (less that 0.5 second) but very distracting and cannot be safe for other vehicles on the road.
Every few minutes the headlights flicker. GM does not have a fix for this currently.
The headlights while driving will flicker completely off. This happens during the daylight lights are on and at night when main headlights are on. This is very dangerous and concerning while driving at night when I have to drive on country roads where the headlights are vital. This issue also creates unnecessary confusion with other drivers as they are under impression I'm flashing my lights at them.
Headlights constantly flicker and causes dangerous condition driving at night
Flicking headlights
Headlights flicker every couple of minutes. Very concerning driving at night. Incoming traffic thinks I’m flashing them. Not good these days. Contacted dealer. They are aware there is a problem. They stated that GM has not come up with a fix yet. To me that answer is unacceptable.
Headlights flicker on and off randomly. Anywhere from every 30 s to a couple of minutes.
Headlights turn off and on randomly every few seconds. No fault lights on dashboard. Dealership confirmed issue exists. Dealership was advised to replace control module by GM. This did not fix the issue. Advised to change headlight assemblies but they are backordered with no ETA. This issue causes confusion to other drivers and is a safety hazard while driving at night. No recall issued yet.
