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.
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.
