Description of the problem | 2018 equinox lcd screen gets stuck in bright mode. Upon initiation of the backup camera the lcd stays bright for as long as the vehicle is running. Nighttime driving is extremely uncomfortable. If the radio is reset (hold down home and fast forward, or turning off vehicle for the period of time it takes to completely shut down radio) it will stay in the proper dim setting until the backup camera is initiated again. I have tested this on several 2018 equinox cars and found this to be a malfunction. Must view problem at night to see hazard. I had a service call to mark porter chevrolet, pomeroy, oh, and they acknowledged the problem and instructed me to wait for a fix from chevrolet itself. |
