| Component | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The instrument panel brightness cannot be adjusted, causing glare when driving at night irrespective of whether it is in-motion or stationary. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard number 101, "control and displays." the only way i can drive at night is to cover the glass display so that i do not get the glare reflecting from the side windows and windshield. When the glass dash is covered you lose critical information including vehicle speed. The glare obscures seeing out the windshield, side windows, or mirrors. This has been an issue since i took delivery and limits operation to daytime only. |
