Internal headlight wiring is extremely flaking off its insulation, revealing bare wires throughout both headlights. Both sections of the light are affected, xenon and halogen. Discovered during routine bulb replacement. Merely touching the wires caused extra flaking. Seems to be a potential electrocution/fire hazard.

Driving on freeway and driver's side seat heater overheated burning seat and creating abundant smoke inside car's cabin. This was a very dangerous situation on the freeway and I have no doubt that the seat would have caught fire if I hadn't felt the burning sensation early enough. Dealer stated that they had never heard of this happening and quoted $1200+ repair. Researched online and found many similar occurrences. Decided not to repair and chance the same happening again. Disconnected wiring to seat heater.
