Black screen during calls

I'm loving my new pixel XL, but there is one HUGE issue that bugs me which I just discovered.

While placing a call, the screen turns black immediately after pushing the call button. Tapping the screen, fingerprint reader, and power button does nothing. It seems the sensor doesn't know any longer when the phone is by your face or not.

So basically making business calls and accessing the dial pad while on a call isn't a choice whatsoever. You can no longer hang up the call or use your phone until the call automatically hangs up at a later point in time.

Anybody have ideas?? This is still a phone right? To make calls on lol..... It's the latest nougat 7.1 and it's bought directly from Google so there is no Verizon bs on it...
