IllustrationHeadlights consistently flicker. I have had other drivers stop me and warn me. Happens every 1-2 minutes on both sides. GM dragging their feet with a repair. I am hearing multiple customers with the same issue. Please put pressure on GM to correct this issue now!

Exterior Lighting complaints
159 reportsHeadlights are flickering intermittently, causing oncoming drivers to think they are being bright lighted. Which causes them to bright light me. Also, headlight flickering causes trailed vehicle drivers to think I am signaling them to stop. Both situations are hazardous, in my opinion.
Approximately every minute while driving with the headlights on, they will turn off/flicker for a split-second. This makes it seem like I’m flashing my lights at other vehicles, and also makes the lights turn off while driving for a split second which is distracting.

This has happened since the vehicle was purchased new and it happens any time the headlights are turned on.

Headlight flickering causing vehicles infront of my truck to slow down or break. Been to dealership multiple times for headlight problem. Recent headlight assembly replacement. Headlight flickering still present in truck after headlight assembly replacement. Blind spot indicators intermittently work, on highway, had couple times I relied on indicators that did not illuminate. Dealer could not find issue but same day I picked up truck from service, blind spots weren’t picking up some vehicles either passing or getting passed. Steering wheel noise when turning. Dealer took part steering column, but could not find a problem. Was told it was just sound from motor in steering column. Test drive exact model truck and year, no noise from that truck while turning steering wheel
About every five to six minutes my headlamps will flicker. Googled online and found a forum for Colorado and Canyon owners who are experiencing the same thing. Some people on there have said GM is aware of the problem.
Lights flicker when driving at night. Drivers think I am flashing, flicker causes a distraction on the road. GM service denies the issue. No warnings. Happens every 5 minutes.
The headlights flicker constantly at night. They very quickly power off and back on appearing to other vehicles as if we are flashing our lights. This is a common issue among the 2024 gmc canyons in the facebook owner groups. Its a safety hazard and could also provoke other drivers.
Headlamps flicker intermittently, every 2-5 mins. Common problem and well documented/discussed on owner forums. There was a tsb issued by gm, bit it was rescinded shortly thereafter. No fix is currently known. Headlight flickers cause other drivers to flash their headlights back at you, as well as other aggressive and unsafe …

LED headlamps on both sides of vehicle routinely "flicker" / "blink". The effect is such that oncoming traffic assumes you are "flashing" them or "high beaming" them.

LED headlamps on both sides of vehicle routinely "flicker" / "blink". The effect is such that oncoming traffic assumes you are "flashing" them or "high beaming" them. Have had several encounters with motorists honking at me or yelling as I pass by. I was also break checked by a vehicle in front of me on the highway when driving at night. These incidents have made driving at night very stressful..... and potentially dangerous. Dealership has been notified and initially stated that they would replace headlamps and ordered those items. I day before my appointment , they cancelled and said that GM was no longer replacing headlamps and was "working on a fix" PIT # 6203A. No time table has been given. This issue is apparently widespread on 2024 Canyons built between March and June of 2024.
Headlights blink or flicker off and on. Both will do it but not at same time. Seems to be only low beams and happens driving or parked. Have been to dealer and they saw it happening. GM is aware and have a bulletin #PIT6203 Headlamp or DRL Flicker or Flash (July 16, 2024) and #PIT6203A ( July 30, 2024 ) Concerns are other drive…

GM is aware and have a bulletin #PIT6203 Headlamp or DRL Flicker or Flash (July 16, 2024) and #PIT6203A ( July 30, 2024 ) Concerns are other drivers or pedestrians think I'm flashing my lights at them signaling to pull out or walk in front of me. I'm afraid one of these times they will not turn back on.

1EA26006 · Electronic Brake Module Component Failure
Opened Aug 21, 2026 · No close date supplied
Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Service Brakes
On April 11, 2024, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation PE24011 after receiving complaints concerning a loss of brake assist in 2023 MY Cadillac Lyriq vehicles. These complaints allege a hard brake pedal, followed by a “Brake System Failure” message at start up or while driving. GM shared records regarding several internal investigations for loss of brake assist due to alleged spindle fractures in the eBoost system. GM has stated that in the event of a spindle fracture, anti-lock brakes (ABS), stability control, and traction control remain functional until the vehicle comes to a complete stop. At this point, ABS, brake assist, stability control, and traction control functions are lost. The loss of these functions causes the vehicle to set one of three Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) based on failed performance criteria for the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM). These DTCs, in turn, activate several driver alerts: an audible chime, a visual “Service Brake System” message in the display, and multiple illuminated Malfunction Indicator Lights (MILs) for the ABS, Traction Control, and Brakes informing the driver of loss of functionality. The vehicle speed will also be limited to 70 KPH (43 MPH). Since opening PE24011, ODI has continued to receive reports of loss of brake assist. Some of these reports describe symptoms inconsistent with GM’s description of a spindle failure. These reports allege an immediate loss of brake assist functionality as opposed to the loss occurring after the vehicle comes to a complete stop. The sudden loss of brake assist during a braking event could result in extended braking distance, which increases the risk of a crash or injury. ODI believes further analysis is necessary to assess the potential for failures in GM’s eBoost system to resulting in safety-related outcomes. At this time, ODI is aware of the following vehicles that are equipped with this eBoost system: 2023-2026 MY Cadillac Lyriq, Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon; 2024-2026 MY Buick Enclave, Envision; Chevrolet Blazer EV, Equinox EV, Traverse; Cruise Origin; and GMC Acadia; 2025-2026 MY Cadillac Celestiq and Optiq. ODI is also aware of 2024-2026 MY Acura ZDX and 2024-2026 MY Honda Prologue vehicles that were built with this system. The Acura and Honda vehicles were manufactured by GM in a joint venture with Honda, and will be included in the Engineering Analysis as peer vehicles. ODI is opening this Engineering Analysis to further assess the safety-related consequences of a failed eBoost system. In addition, ODI is expanding the scope of the investigation to encompass all GM vehicles that share this eBoost system.
