Headlights continually fog up and puddle water in them. It takes a major effort to dry them out. Dealer says they are vented and that they will clear themselves but don't. This is a continual problem and poses a safety issue because of headlight failure.
My vehicle has not been involved in any accidents as a function of this design flaw. The following occurs when vehicle is in motion or stationary: during daytime driving, when headlights are not turned on, the digital instrument panel and digital control panel dim undesirably, making them difficult to read and creating unsafe driving conditions. This is undesirable behavior is most prevalent on cloudy days and at sunrise and sunset. The dimming needs to be inactive if headlights are off. If headlights are on, it needs to be inactive if bright light is detected through windshield (sunrise, sunset) -or- if bright light is detected inside the cabin.
