EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Consequences:
Headlights flicker off and back on randomly every few minutes. Possible hazards include oncoming drivers being flashed from flicker. Oncoming drivers thinking they're being signaled by the flicker. Pedestrians or cyclists thinking the flash or flicker is signaling them to proceed and that vehicle operator will yield. Possible that headlamps will stay off when they flicker, rendering the driver unable to see during night driving. Please consider escalating this issue to a formal recall due to dangers outlined above.

Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
Headlights began flickering two days after purchase of vehicle. Infotainment screen that operates the headlights, as there is no physical headlight knobs or buttons, also malfunction and is inoperable. So I can not turn my headlights on or off, they're set to auto and I can not adjust it. Service department at my dealership has been able to replicate my issues and are trying to fix them, but parts availability is an issue. GM has informed me that the parts are delayed with no eta of when they would be available. Issues with the headlights flickering could lead other drivers to think I'm flashing my lights at them as I'm telling them to go ahead and that could cause a wreck. Also with the flickering there is a chance that the lights could completely cut off or go out and if I'm driving at night that would be a very big issue. Especially since the Infotainment screen that I need to operate the headlight functions is also inoperable. The Infotainment screen is also on national backorder per GM. GM documented with Document ID 6691954 "#PIT6203: Headlamp or DRL Flicker or Flash (July 16, 2024) Possible hazards include oncoming drivers being flashed from flicker. Oncoming drivers thinking they're being signaled by the flicker. Pedestrians or cyclists thinking the flash or flicker is signaling them to proceed and that vehicle operator will yield. Possible that headlamps will stay off when they flicker, rendering the driver unable to see during night driving.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Consequences:
LED Headlamps flicker off and on and occurs repeatedly every few minutes. Occurs when vehicle is moving or parked. Occurs in a controlled lighting environment meaning it is not due to the auto-headlamp sensor being triggered by light or darkness changes. There are no error or fault warning messages that display on the dash or control center. No human involvement triggers the flickering. The issue occurs even when remote start is used and the vehicle is unoccupied. I have located dozens of other owners with the same issue with a similar build date from Spring 2024 through June 2024. GM documented the issue with Document ID 6691954 #PIT6203: Headlamp or DRL Flicker or Flash (July 16, 2024). Hazards include the possible signs of headlight catastrophic failure rendering the driver unable to see the road and surrounding vehicles as well as other drivers being unable to see you that could result in injury or death. Vehicles that are being trailed when the flickering occurs interpret the action as being indicated to rush and make way for the approaching vehicle resulting in road rage actions such as brake checking or other forms of violence that can result in injury or death. Pedestrians may interpret the flicker as the driver yielding to them resulting in the pedestrian entering the path of a moving vehicle resulting in injury or death. Oncoming drivers that are being flashed from the flicker are distracted or blinded in a way that could result in injury or death. Please escalate this safety issue to a formal recall due to severe consequences that could result from the faulty headlamps.

Seems to be a narrow build date window from late Spring 2024 thru June 2024. Occurs when vehicle is moving or parked. Can be replicated in daylight by manually turning headlights on in the control center. GM documented with Document ID 6691954 "#PIT6203: Headlamp or DRL Flicker or Flash (July 16, 2024) Possible hazards include oncoming drivers being flashed from flicker. Oncoming drivers thinking they're being signaled by the flicker. Pedestrians or cyclists thinking the flash or flicker is signaling them to proceed and that vehicle operator will yield. Possible that headlamps will stay off when they flicker, rendering the driver unable to see during night driving. Please consider escalating this issue to a formal recall due to dangers outlined above.
Corrective Action:
LED Headlamps blink off and back on in a fraction of a second. Seems to be related to low beam setting. Seems to not be related to auto-dimming functionality.

Defect Description:
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Potential Consequences:
The headlights are malfunctioning where they periodically flicker and there is a loss of lighting. The frequency seems to increase the longer the headlights are on and in use. The loss of lighting during the event increases risks of driving at night and impairing oncoming traffic. Yes, the problem has been confirmed and documented by my dealer, Ideal Buick GMC in Frederick MD Yes, Dealer inspected the problem, replaced parts but the problem still exists. No other indications of failure. Symptoms appeared immediately after taking delivery of vehicle.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
The valve body on GM's 8 speed transmission is a known fail point for many GM truck owners. I believe the NHTSA should investigate this for the extreme risk of an accident. My truck has been inoperable for a month awaiting a back ordered part. When driven, the truck displays erratic behavior and will downshift and decelerate rapidly and without warning. The risk of being rear-ended is very high.
