problem #2

Oct 242016

Canyon SLT V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 8,145 miles

Screen and dashlights dimmed again. Eventually they come back on, so I'm not sure what is causing this. I'll check with the dealer on my next tune-up visit, and see what would cause this. Todays occurrence was after the GMC Intel Link didn't boot up this morning

This has happened off and on, but the challenge was catching it while it occurred. Unfortunately when you are driving the dash lights and screen will dim and then brighten again, but since my eyes are focused on the road it was hard to determine what happened.

There are instances of when the touch screen will refresh, like after you change a radio station. So I wanted to make sure this isn't confused with a screen refresh.

In the past, I've noticed the dash dimmer dial rolled (spun), downwards causing the dim lights. But, that wasn't the case here neither.

the outside lighting was normal, so I don't think anything externally was causing the dash lights and screen to dim.

This is concerning in a since that if the touch screen breaks then its going to be several thousand $$$'s to repair.
