    CONSUMER RECENTLY RENTED A VEHICLE THAT HAS A GLARING DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE. WITH SUN GLASSES ON, CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO SEE THE INSTRUMENTS ON THE DASHBOARD, THE DISPLAY IS IN RED AND OBSCURED BY THE DARK GLASSES. CONSUMER HAS TO TEMPORARILY LIFT THE SUNGLASSES OR TAKE THEM OFF IN ORDER TO TELL THE SPEED AT WHICH HE WAS TRAVELING, NOT A RECOMMENDED MANEUVER AT 65 TO 70 MPH. *TT

    REGARDING THE AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHT SENSOR -- THIS SENSOR IS LOCATED ON THE TOP LEFT SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AT THE BASE OF THE A-PILLAR. ON VERY BRIGHT AND SUNNY DAYS, THE SENSOR TURNS THE HEADLIGHTS ON AND OFF BECAUSE OF SHADING BY THE A-PILLAR OR STATE INSPECTION STICKER. DEPENDING ON THE ANGLE OF THE CAR RELATIVE TO THE SUN, THIS HAS OCCURRED BETWEEN 10 AND 20 TIMES EACH DAY THAT I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR AND OCCURS AT ALL HOURS OF THE DAY. WHEN THE LIGHTS GO ON, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS DIM MAKING THE SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER GAUGES UNREADABLE. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN SINCE I CANNOT SEE MY SPEED UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. THE DEALER KNOWS OF NO WAY TO DISABLE THIS SENSOR AND PONTIAC HAS NOT RESPONDED TO MY E-MAILS YET.*AK
