Headlight Switch Problems of Chevrolet Colorado

The auto headlight function changes the instrument panel lights to dim when driving. Example: at 4 o'clock pm your driving east. The sun is setting towards the west so the light sensor on the dash that controls the auto headlight function doesn't see the sun directly thinks it's dark outside and turns the headlights on. When this happens the instrument panel lights go dim because you have set the dim control the previous night to a lower level that is not bright and distracting to your night time driving. When this happens you have to physically take your eyes off the road to adjust the dim control switch so the instrument panel light is bright enough during the daylight hour to see and read the instrument panel. Also it can be 12 noon with overcast sky's outside and the sensor can not tell that it is not dark outside. This is a hazardous and safety concern due to a distraction on a daily basis of having to take your eyes off the road when driving during these hours or conditions. Vehicle can be moving or stopped. Sensor is too sensitive. This happens all the time.

Note: I had a 2012 Chevrolet Colorado with the auto headlight function and had no problems with its function being a distraction. It functioned properly. I have contacted gm with no response from them with a solution to this safety issue.

At first, truck showed tps alarm ,then stability alarm ,next it had the headlights cut out on the highway at night @ 70 mph for 15-30 seconds. It has shown these problems separately and simultaneously at different times. Finally it manifested a new symptom I would intermittently not crank the engine over even though the battery was at full charge. After repeated trips to the dealer(they said they could not reproduce the problem) with no effect or improvement, a call to Chevrolet netted a case number #71-1257538002. As a result of this call( I feel) work was restarted on the vehicle. As of today 12/26/13 the Chevrolet dealer has now changed the ignition switch. We shall see. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Left turn signal indicator on when headlights are on. Activation of left turn signal causes both front turn lights to blink, and all four rear tail/turn lights to blink. This might be due to turn signal switch, or multifunction switch failure.
