When the truck is in reverse at night, the data system on the dashboard shines too brightly and makes it nearly impossible to use. You cannot look across the truck to use your passenger sideview mirror, nor use your rearview mirror. This caused me to back over a mailbox, and had caused a few near- misses while backing at night.

When backing up the truck at night the center screen gets so bright that you cannot see anything from the rearview mirror or side mirrors the backup camera itself is a very poor quality camera at night and there is no option to dim the brightness of the screen or turn off the camera so I can see at the rearview mirror instead.

Headlight housing dogs constantly and remains fogged for a length of time while driving. Headlight function diminished due to the fogging. Chevy states the headlights are vented and designed to behave this way but clearly this is a safety issue and the seal of the housing is faulty.

The backup assist camera is too bright to see side mirrors and look out the back window when backing up in the dark. It is very dangerous to try and maneuver the vehicle with such a bright light in the cab.

Infotainment screen at night when in reverse backing up the rear camera display is so bright it blinds visibility of the surrounding area. Ive pulled in front of cars twice cause I cant see lights coming down the road, all I can see is a reflection of light inside my trucks windows from the brightness of the rear cam. Its almost to wear im about to make a cardboard cover to cover it so I can see.

My backup camera at night when you go to reverse the camera is very bright, my wife holds a book over it so I can see out the windows. It is extremely bright but only in reverse, when driving the brightness is fine. This could case a safety issue if my son is driving at night, very difficult to back up and see your surroundings.

During darkness, I have my interior lights dim for it offers me better visibility at night, when I put the vehicle into reverse, the screen go full bright, it goes so bright that I have to stop what I'm doing (reversing) wait for eyes to adjust so I can then see the mirrors again. It is like having a flashlight shined into your eyes while looking in mirrors.
