Instrument Panel problems of the 2010 Mazda CX-7

I purchased the 2010 Mazda cx7 vehicle about nine months ago. I frequently do not drive the vehicle because I feel it is unsafe under many conditions. The dash lights are inadequate and make it almost impossible to know how fast you are traveling day or night. I am afraid I will be ticketed for traveling too slow or too fast when the instrument panel is so poorly lighted. I have looked at other 2010 and 2011 models, and they are all the same, poorly lighted. I recently spoke to someone with another model who had the same complaint. I feel that it is unsafe and should be recalled. I have no other complaints about the vehicle at this time.

The contact owns a 2010 Mazda Cx-7. While driving at 30 mph, the contact experienced difficulty reading the gauges on the instrument panel in the bright sunlight. The contact also stated that the gauges were difficult to see at night because they were illuminated with a white lighting. Furthermore, the contact stated that the space between the brake pedal and accelerator pedal were too close making it hard to depress the correct pedal while driving. The current mileage was approximately 700. The failure mileage was 414.
