Took it to the dealer and…

This is extremely distracting to the driver. The dash light dimmer control switch works the dash lights and the infotainment screen. If one were to dim the dash lights so that the infotainment light is low enough to be acceptable, then the…

The headlights are the worst on any vehicle that i have owned over the past 35 years. I almost hit a…
