The reason for this complaint is because i believe chevrolet has defective abs sensor embedded in the wheel hub of this vehicle.

Electrical System · Exterior Lighting
On cloudless days when the sun is about 30 degrees or lower in the sky the automatic headlights turn on and the vehicle dims the instrument panel. It is too bright outside to drive without sunglasses and almost impossible to see the dimmed gauges. My other vehicles with automatic headlights do not turn on when it is so bright outside.

This car has been damaged from the day we purchased it, we were finally told it was more than likely tied down too tight on the delivery truck.
