Consumer Description

CAR CAME WITH LIGHT GRAY DASHBOARD WHICH UNBEKNOWNST TO ME AND UNDECLARED BY DEALER HAS BEEN REPORTED TO NHTSA SINCE 2017 AS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO REFLECTION AND GLARE THAT THIS COLOR DASHBOARD CREATES. AT TIMES SIDEVIEW MIRROR AND DRIVER'S WINDSHIELD IS DANGEROUSLY CHALLENGING TO SEE CLEARLY OUT OF AS DASHBOARD REFLECTION INTERSECTS WITH OUTSIDE ENVIRONMENT. HARD TO TELL WHAT IS WHAT. THIS IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS DURING UNFILLED DRIVING (I LIVE IN LOS ANGELES WHICH IS MOSTLY UNFILLED). GIVEN THE COMPLAINTS TO NHTSA IN 2017, I CONTACTED CHEVROLET CORPORATE TO COMPLAIN AND EXCHANGE BRAND NEW CAR FOR BLACK DASHBOARD. THEY CLAIM THERE IS NO DEFECT!!!! IT IS A DESIGN DEFECT THAT IS DANGEROUS....SINCE 2017...FOR NO REASON. MAKE BLACK DASHBOARDS!!!!!!!! LIGHT COLORED DASH IS DANGEROUS!!!! PLEASE DO SOMETHING!
