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.

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.

The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 100.

The turn signal is activating in the opposite direction. After completing a 90 degree right hand turn, when the turn signal deactivates it will turn on the left turn indicator for 3-5 seconds. This only happens when making right hand turns and I have been able to replicate it on multiple occasions. My concern is that other people will see the indicator and assume that I intend to change lanes when my intention is to continue straightforward. This could cause someone to move in front of me or turn into my lane of travel. I just purchased the vehicle a week and a half ago. I plan on making an appointment with the dealership within the next week to have the issue evaluated. This was first noticed about 1 week after taking ownership. I purchased the vehicle on September 13, and noticed the issue on September 20.

Headlights flick intermittently
- Dixon, NM, USA
The vehicle, since it's purchase, has a persistant flickering occuring with the entire headlight when the main headlights are on. The problem doesn't seem to be an issue when the DRLs are only being used. The vehicle was taken back to the dealership to be looked at but when they discussed the issue with the GM even they couldn't figure it out. This can pose a serious safety issue if the lights go out all together at night on a dark roadway.

Lights flicker at random times
- Piedmont, OK, USA
Headlights flicker about once every minute. it gives the impression that i am using my brights for oncoming traffic and has caused other drivers to "flash" their brights at me and i get flashed after passing other vehicles. I am concerned that at one point the "flicker" will just shut off and leave me totally in the dark driving country roads. i drive mostly on rural highways. it would be impossible to drive without lights. Also the flicker is causing other drivers to potentially "road rage". I took this to the dealer last month. GM has not come up with a fix and has told the dealer not to do anything at this time. problem has occurred since deliver in early June

Headlights flicker every few minutes when on. Can be distracting to driver and other cars on the road at night. Seems to be an issue for several people with these new 2024 trucks but GM has no fix yet.
