The automatic lighting control module is malfunctioning and causing my headlights to turn on/off rapidly in multiple different lighting conditions. Weather the sun is up/overcast or even at night if I-??m close enough behind a vehicle from the reflection of my headlights it causes the sensor to turn the lights on and off. I was pulled over by a local sheriff the other day because he saw it happening during the day and that-??s how I initially realized it was happening. If anything it-??s an obvious safety risk for the distraction it causes to not only me but other drivers on the road. And I am always constantly checking the light on my dash to see if my headlights are actually functioning(lighting) when they should be. As another note there is many other people having this same issue that I-??ve seen on Trax forums.

The auto lights during the day are defective. They work perfectly at night. On a sunny day they will be on, then turn off when I drive down a road with shade from a tree. Not only is the interior light flashing, my head and taillights do as well, causing concern and distraction for drivers around me. I took my Trax into the dealership shop several times. They changed a sensor, but that did not change anything. The sent a request to GM for a "fix" but there only suggestion, after more than 6 months was to drive a different Trax to show me all of them do that, that that is how they are made. I am just exasperated! Lights should not turn off when you drive under a shade tree, but stay on when it's bright and sunny.

When set to auto headlamps function, headlamp lights begin to flicker/flash on and off randomly while driving in sunny daylight conditions. This could be a distraction for drivers in front of vehicle. Dealership cannot repair problem as they claim not to have a Service Bulletin number from GM.

Ambient light sensor defective since vehicle was new. It would turn the lights on at dusk and back off at dawn but was confused by direct sunlight on sunny days. The the lights would switch from DRLs to headlights/taillights whenever direct sunlight hit the sensor and then immediately switch back to DRLs when any shadow crossed over the sensor causing the lights to flash. this causes other drivers to flash their lights back and can be very distracting. After replacement of the sensor, the problem went away.

Only have had this vehicle about a month but almost every day I drive it during the day if it's even just partly cloudy, cloudy, or raining the autoheadlights just constantly flash on and off. Sensor clearly isn't working properly. If it's completely dark lights come on correctly and if it's very sunny they stay off but anything in between is just a constant flash. Not safe due to sight, but also can cause road rage of other drivers thinking I'm flashing them....

When the auto headlight feature is on, the headlights keep flashing even when it is sunny outside. The intellibeam sensor seems to be too sensitive to any deviations in lighting. This could cause issues while driving if people think you are intentionally flashing your lights at them.

I-??ve had problems with the headlights flickering for no reason and randomly (every day) With the green indicator on the dashboard turning on and off. It happens at different times of the day, in different weathers and for no reason. Seems to be worst on sunny and cloudy days and it happens at any speed, even parked. Already took to the dealership twice, first they did an update (it didn-??t fix anything) and now they mentioned they have ordered a part to replace. I-??ve talk in forums and groups with multiple people experiencing this issue. I had also problems with the back up camera staying on while driving and looking like it have -??fish eye-?? effect. With the lane assist and forward collision warning not working. All this is also random, I-??ve owned the car for a little over a week and seems like many people are talking about similar problems. The deactivation or failure of safety features is definitely dangerous. The dealership just mentioned they can-??t replicate this. The problem with the flickering lights is a huge safety issue, other drivers gets confused and with the headlights going on and off you can-??t really drive in safe way. I-??ve documented with some videos and I have the dealership paper about The flickering lights problem. I-??ve not been able to document the other problems since it happens while driving. I must mention I experienced this problems from the day one I got the car out of the lot (new). And the flickering lights problem KEEPS happening every day.

Auto headlights turn headlights ON in sunshine. Then OFF in daytime shade. (when driving down a tree lined road, lights come on when not under tree shade, then off with every tree shade, gives the appearance I am "flashing" my headlights, same thing with underpasses, etc. Lights work properly at night.) Dealership said they had "no idea" what the problem was and would have to contact GM engineers in Korea. It has been 2 months so far with no information from dealer. I have to try and remember to turn AUTO HEADLIGHTS OFF every time I start the car, which also turns DRL off, a safety issue for certain.
