Speedometer light and the center dash (gps, radio, uconnect) screen illumination can not be dimmed at night using the rotary knob (wheel) located on the left side of the dash. The illuminaton coming from these screens is incredibly bright, especially when traveling on rural roads where deer, ferrel hogs and other wild animals run into the roadway. I can not see these obstacles and believe this is a severe safety hazard for any driver who travels on non-illuminated roads. The light from my speedometer can not be dialed down when the vehicle is sitting idle, or in drive and when parked or in motion. It has never worked properly and the dealership is not able to determine what the problem is. They are clueless and since the dealership open after 5 pm to observe this problem during hours of darkness. Numerous other Jeep Compass owners 2017 and 2018 model years, have complained of this same problem. Deer are the same color and contrast of gray asphalt and they are nearly impossible to see at night, due to the overwhelming illumination from the center display and speedometer brightness. This problem has been occurring since my purchase 3 months ago and continues to this evening. I plan on uploading a video to youtube soon. I am retired from film and television and taught this subject at a private university here in Texas.

Instrument panel lights will not dim on automatic lights setting or when display lights have been on for longer then 8 seconds. The dash lights and stereo lights are too bright to drive at night. Have to stop car, turn off car along with turning off all light switches. Have to wait for at least a minute then can start the car and adjust the brightness before has been on for 8 seconds. When on interstate this is not possible to do. Need to be able to display dash and should work automatically. Doesn't matter whether parked or moving. Lights will not work on the automatic setting. Others have complained. Please see this youtube.com video because our issue is the same. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=6ajaaemp7W8

Instrument panel dimmer does not work causing extreme brightness at night. Navigation panel does not switch to nighttime mode causing it to be a safety hazard if using while dark out. Backup camera is blinding at night, creating safety hazard. This occurs while stationary, while moving, during all types of driving when dark out. This has been an on-going issue from the day I bought the car with no resolution from the dealer.

The interior instrument panel and console lighting will not dim at night. This leads to a blinding situation. The dimmer switch functions only intermittently but the ip lights will go full bright after a short while after a vehicle restart. This occurs whether or not the car is moving or parked. Headlights are switched on to auto. The lights behave this way day or night. Appears to be a sensor issue.

Instrument cluster lighting control including dimmer, headlight 'on' sensor, dash ambiant light sensor, related software do not function properly. Unable to dim dash at night with dimmer control & or 'auto night dim' does not function. The blinding brightness of the dash at night is not only discomforting it is hazardous. This fault is well documented on internet forums & youtube videos.

- El Paso, TX, USA

Instrument panel lighting fails to dim properly at night causing difficulty seeing at night due to the brightness of the display. I am able to get the display to be tricked into going into "night mode" if the display light sensor has no light at vehicle startup with headlights on. At any time if the sensor is exposed to light again such as if a door is opened or interior light is turned on the vehicle needs to be stopped, doors locked, and sitting for one minute for the workaround to be successful again.

In violation of FMVSS section S 5.3.2.2 (B) the vehicle's interior dashboard lights are not capable of being dimmed. They remain at brightest level regardless of any parking or headlight settings, and cannot be dimmed or turned off. This creates a dangerous condition during night time vehicle operation. Dealer has not been able to correct this even after two visits, and has made no progress in resolving this issue since vehicle purchased one month ago.
