Encore Sport Touring 1.4L Turbo

  • Automatic transmission
  • 11 miles

2019 Buick Encore Sport Touring with automatic headlights. Believe the automatic headlights are activated way too early - quite often the sensor will activate headlights mid day or when there is plenty of daylight. Vehicle has bright LED daytime running lights and I believe there is no reason headlight should activated until dusk at the earliest.

I have taken the vehicle in to the dealer for this complaint however after they contacted Buick it has been explained that this is considered normal. Believe that Buick should offer a software update to adjust the sensitivity of the sensor or, like ever manufactures, Give the customers a setting where they can set the sensitivity to their preference. Believe this issue if left unchecked will result in unnecessary expense and premature replacement of headlight bulbs.
