Headlight Switch Problems of Chevrolet Cruze

The headlights are very dim on this vehicle. This is a brand new car but it is the LS model which does not have separate daytime running lamps. Instead of daytime running lamps, the headlights are on anytime the ignition key is in the run position. Whether or not the headlight switch is set to "auto" or the headlights are turned on manually makes no difference in headlight intensity. I've taken the car to the dealership and they claim that they cannot find the problem. But the problem persists. When I drive on he freeway at night I can tell that the headlights on neighboring cars are brighter. I am often forced to use the high beams when there are no other sources of illumination. I wonder if the lighting "computer" is supposed to be able to control the power of the headlights. I've noticed that chevy Cruzes with discrete dt running lamps (leds) still utilize the low beam headlights (projector beam) but in a dimmed mode. My vehicle has old fashioned halogen headlights. I need to determine if the lighting computer is dimming my headlights because it can't differentiate night from day. This problem persists at all times. It could be that this vehicle model has poor headlights. I've owned and driven many cars over a long stretch of time. But rarely have I driven a vehicle that had such poor headlights.

-the following symptoms occur intermittently (approximately one time per month) -while operating the vehicle, the issue typically begins with the center radio display and sound flickering on and off. -next, various electrical systems in the car begin to malfunction. This includes traction control, power steering, headlights, turn signals cruise control, window functions, and brake lights. -the vehicle does not only report the system malfunction, but will actually experience failure (etc, power steering is actually disabled in the car). Power steering was once lost at the bottom of a switchback in the mountains. I nearly lost control of the vehicle. -after this issue occurs, if the vehicle is turned off it will not restart for 30-60 minutes (unless the battery is disconnected and reconnected). -during this period it will not restart, none of the electrical functions of the car will work (doors will not lock, windows will not move, lights will not turn on, etc). -also, during this period I have noticed a sound within the dashboard. This sounds like a small electric motor running for approximately 60 seconds.
