problem #1

Oct 042006

CTS 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 4,800 miles
Automatic light sensor does not sense daylight for 5 mins and 23 secs at the last timing. In a daylight drive of 12 miles, the car turned night-time lamps on and off 6 times. Dealer says it is working as designed. This has just started to happen the last 12 days. No light settings have been changed since they were set when I purchased the car. I was told by sholz Cadillac repair to wait for the lights to sense the change before driving. However, what do I do when entering and exiting a tunnel? when placed side by side with a GMC xuv with an automatic sensor, the GMC senses the difference in light in 3 seconds. This delay in my Cadillac is certainly a safety hazard.
