Consumer Description

COMPLAINT REGISTERED YESTERDAY, BUT DID NOT INCLUDE PHOTOS WHICH I NOW WILL INCLUDE. 2015 BUICK ENCORE HAS A DIMMING ISSUE WITH THE SCREEN WHEN UNDER A CLOUD OR PERHAPS A TREE, WHILE MOVING OR STATIONARY. CANNOT SEE SCREEN FOR DIRECTIONS WHEN THIS HAPPENS. MUST TURN LIGHT SWITCH TO OFF IN ORDER TO HAVE SCREEN RETURN TO BRIGHTNESS. WHEN THIS HAS TO BE DONE, THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS TURN OFF COMPLETELY AND CANNOT TURN ON AGAIN ONE STOPS AND RESTART THE VEHICLE.
