2024 GMC Canyon owner complaints

While addressing the Headlamp Flicker recall N242468880 another problem was caused. The Drivers side headlamp is always on high-beam There is no way to turn it off. I have had two incidents where oncoming traffic has crossed the double yellow line. The dealer states that the entire headlight mist be replaced and it is on backorder with no expected date of availability. This 2024 GMC Canyon is blinding oncoming traffic and is a risk to myself, my passengers, and oncoming traffic. I have a case open with GM and it has accomplished nothing. GM case number 9-14098737984

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.

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?

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 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.

Headlights blinking on and off all the time. supposedly parts or on back order with no time line.

Upper radiator hose leaks where it connects to radiator. 40k miles and my truck has no coolant

The contact owns a 2024 GMC Canyon. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the steering wheel was rattling abnormally. The check engine warning light was briefly illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where the vehicle was test-driven; however, the failure was not identified. The failure reoccurred, and the vehicle was taken back to the same local dealer, where it was diagnosed as needing a rear intermediate steering shaft, and a retest was performed. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the same local dealer, where the vehicle remained under investigation. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 4,491.

2024 GMC Canyon Elevation trim 4x4 with 31,000 miles on it always had maintenance every 5k interval. I noticed an upper radiator hose leak significant enough to require a decent amount of coolant and decided to take it in to GMC to get it repaired. Mind you this repair is almost $1,000 to get repaired with the hose itself only costing $148. It's disappointing to have such a new truck and have these kinds of problems and upon research there seems to be several others with the same problem relating to an O ring in the upper radiator hose. Considering the truck is routinely serviced more frequently than required I see this as an issue for someone to run out of coolant and possibly be stranded on the side of the road if gone unnoticed and needs to be properly addressed asap.

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.

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 ever

Vehicle was brought in 5/18/24 for check engine light Dealer eventually found broken wire in headliner on right side Dealer repaired wire and I picked up vehicle 5/22/24. Vehicle was brought in 7/29/24 for park assist code dealer found short in wire. Dealer stated that to fix wire would require taking cab and bed off frame. Dealer ran a new wire along frame to avoid fixing properly. Vehicle picked up 8/1/24. Vehicle brought in 9/10/24 for a variety of sensors activated. Dealer stated to me that anti-lock brake module was on NATIONAL back order and not expected until 10/28/24. Ut was not safe to drive the vehicle, and they have had the vehicle from 9/10/24. Also, drivers power window module has to be replaced. This 2024 Canyon has been a problem. I have contacted GM and asked for a buyback

I am reporting a driver distraction safety issue involving the infotainment system in my 2024 GMC Canyon. The vehicle displays a mandatory “Focus your attention on driving” warning every time the vehicle is started, requiring user acknowledgment. When using the built-in Google Maps navigation without subscribing to GM’s paid Connected Services plan (while tethering to a personal cellphone hotspot instead), the system displays a modal warning stating that a connected services subscription is required. This warning appears whenever cellular connectivity is briefly interrupted, even for a few seconds (such as when driving through a known cellular dead spot). The warning overlays the navigation screen and requires the driver to manually press a “Dismiss” button to continue, even while the

The back seat is not secured tightly. When the bottom seat is down, and should be locked, there is 3-4 inches of play when lifting up on the bottom seat. It does not seem to lock properly. I told the dealership about it, and they compared it to another vehicle on the lot that did the same thing. They did not seem concerned, but if a latch is defective, anyone in the backseat could be harmed if the latch fails during an emergency stop or accident.

While driving through a car wash air blow dryer, the roof was popping in and out resulting in a dent of the sheet metal. The roof area appears to be very weak structurally. The roof can be pushed in by hand. This could be dangerous in a rollover situation.

I've noticed an issue since I picked up my vehicle from its last service where the RPMs stay around 1,000 when I let off the gas and should be coasting. The vehicle will continue to accelerate at 11 to 13 mph, and I really have to mash the brake pedal to stop. There is an update notice that popped up starting yesterday, but it will not install. Looks like the update is for the issue I am having. The update was supposed to be installed already per the service bulletin. Update number is N242452130

16,000 miles driven and my replace brake sensor light came on the dashboard. I took it in to get looked at and was told the Front Drivers Side has 1 brake pad showing a life of 5 while my other pads all showed a life of 9/10. I was told that most likely something stuck inside the brake pad itself causing it to wear unevenly but I don't drive anything but highway and paved roads. I looked around other forums and multiple others are complaining of the same issue. I contacted GM and they told me brakes are a wear item. The dealer told me they aren't sure how it happened, but this isn't right to be replacing brakes on a brand new vehicle I've only driven for 10 months. Multiple others are saying the same thing in GM/Colorado forums.
