Description of the problem	Half the windshield goes very dark , nearly black at night. It is factually dangerous and if i have to drive at night my speed is greatly reduced as i cannot see at all. I cannot see more than 30 feet in front of me and cannot see turns and cannot see at all with hills. Even driving very slow, 10mph or less in a parking lot the extreme lack of visibility becomes 100% obvious and extremely dangerous. Bmw corporate office says they are not aware of any technology that dims the windshield, the local dealership is clueless to this as well. I have read that a savvy and honest dealership can adjust this through the on board computer controls. I really dont know. I am scared to drive at night that is bottom line, no one can seem to help me despite it being all over the internet with all types of vehicles. I want this documented if crash or injury occurs i want protection legally. Example-driving posted speed no oncoming traffic at night approach slight turn or incline and in an instant the darkness descends and the reaction is to hit the brakes as you don't know where you are on the road. This is the front windshield. I beg of you please investigate this, i am shocked there has not been more deaths or crashes and injuries. I brought a 3rd party with me to show them and the reply was, "i cannot see and i am the passenger" "oh my god its black in front of me" all you need to do is drive any number of vehicles at night and you will see. Adaptive headlight issue, some chemical activated thing in windshield? Dont really know.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
