problem #1

Jan 202003

Vibe 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 900 miles
2003 Pontiac Vibe. Vehicle has a sensor that turns on the interior lights and taillights. These lights are not illuminated until 15-20 seconds elapse. I noted my wife driving away with headlights but no tail lights after she started the car after sunset. The tail lights came on as she was two blocks down the street. I believe this is a very danger design flaw that should be corrected immediately. Thanks
