Consumer Description

DASH INSTRUMENTS AND GAUGES ARE NOT VISIBLE IN DAYTIME. RUN OFF ROAD TRYING TO SEE SPEEDOMETER TO SET CRUISE CONTROL. DASH LIGHTS ARE COMPLETELY OFF IN DAYLIGHT, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE DASH INSTRUMENTS. CONTACTED DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. CONTACTED GM AND THEY TELL ME THAT IT IS A DESIGN FLAW AND IT IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEM. IT IS ON BUICK LUCERNE 2006, ALSO UNDERSTAND 2007'S HAVE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS NOT ON ALL CARS AS I UNDERSTAND IT. IT IS DANGEROUS TO OPERATE CAR. MAY CAUSE TO RUN OFF ROAD OR CROSS CENTER AND HAVE WRECK TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT SPEED CAR IS GOING. NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *NM
