“The headlight assemblies has a random blinking, flashing, flicker, on/off problem. This causes people to think I am either flashing them or blinking my light at them. Major safety concern!! GM is aware of this issue and does not have a fix. I requested a different vehicle to drive until they fix this safety issue and was denied.”
NHTSA complaint #11612369, filed 2024-09“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11612957, filed 2024-09“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11632888, filed 2024-12“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11610552, filed 2024-08“The headlights flicker off and on every 30 seconds or so while driving or stationary. This occurs no matter what setting the headlight are in. Other drivers think I am flashing my lights at them and have responded negatively by brake checking me in traffic, flashing their high beams at me when oncoming etc. I am worried that the lights may flicker off and stay off while driving at night. The dealer has recreated the problem but still has no fix. My truck has been in the dealer's shop since mid July.”
