Wiper problem #1

The auto-dimming rear-view mirror inside the car does not properly dim or does not dim at all resulting in headlights reflecting on the driver and causing a constant distraction that's potentially a driving hazard. There's no manual option to force it to dim, and there's no option to replace the auto-dimming mirror with a manual one. This is not an isolated occurrence as it happens extremely regularly; only rarely does it dim effectively.

Wiper problem #2

Windshield washer pump was defective from the factory. Vehicle had no ability to wash windshield. Part replaced under warranty but with California sun, this became a serious issue. I had to drive around with a squirt bottle in the car in order to keep windshield clear due to dust. Part took some time to arrive to local dealer.
