I have a 2010 Chevy Mailibu with @23,000 miles. The dashboard lights will periodically click off. At this point the numbers on the speedometer, gas guage, etc., are not visible.

Your helpful suggestions are welcome.

Isn’t this car still under warranty?

Take it to the Chevy dealer and have it fixed.

Are the dash lights going out or just dimming. If the headlight switch is set to Auto (default) on my 2010 Cobalt and the lights come on the dash lights automatically dim. This makes the dash hard to see in daylight, especially if I’m wearing sunglasses. Make sure the light sensor on the dash is not covered. This should be covered under warranty.
