2017 Chevrolet COLORADO Exterior Lighting Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1420178
Internal NHTSA #	11042116
Manufacurer	General Motors LLC
Brand	CHEVROLET
Model	COLORADO
Model Year	2017
File date	18/07/17
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The auto headlight function changes the instrument panel lights to dim when driving. Example: at 4 o'clock pm your driving east. The sun is setting towards the west so the light sensor on the dash that controls the auto headlight function doesn't see the sun directly thinks it's dark outside and turns the headlights on. When this happens the instrument panel lights go dim because you have set the dim control the previous night to a lower level that is not bright and distracting to your night time driving. When this happens you have to physically take your eyes off the road to adjust the dim control switch so the instrument panel light is bright enough during the daylight hour to see and read the instrument panel. Also it can be 12 noon with overcast sky's outside and the sensor can not tell that it is not dark outside. This is a hazardous and safety concern due to a distraction on a daily basis of having to take your eyes off the road when driving during these hours or conditions. Note: i had a 2012 chevrolet colorado with the auto headlight function and had no problems with its function being a distraction. It functioned properly. I have contacted gm with no response from them with a solution to this safety issue.
