THE LIGHTS ON MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE WITH THE LIGHT ADJUSTMENT WHEEL. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS BRIGHT MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT. (I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE). *TT *TR
SAFETY HAZARD POOR VISIBILTY HEADLIGHTS- HALOGEN BULBS H11LL. POOR VISIABLILTY LOW LUMENS TERRIBLE ROAD LIGHT DISTANCE. DEALER CHECKED STATED LIGHTS WERE FINE.
PURCHASED FIRST DEFECTIVE VEHICLE ON 9-29-17, RECEIVED REPLACEMENT ON 10-7-17, DISCOVERED THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD NOT DIM AT NIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN HOLDING THE CAR WAITING FOR A SOLUTION FROM CHRYSLER EVER SINCE. THEY WERE SCHEDULED TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE MODULE ON 11-22-17 BUT ISSUED THE RECALL ON 11-21-17. I STILL HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN A REPAIR DATE ON A NEW VEHICLE THAT I HAVE OWNED FOR 2 MONTHS AND HAD AT HOME BUT FOR 12 DAYS.
DASH AND UCONNECT SCREEN WILL NOT PROPERLY DIM IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS. MOST NOTABLY, IF YOU TURN ON THE CAR DURING THE DAY AND DRIVE INTO THE NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL TURN ON, BUT THE DASH AND SCREEN WILL NOT DIM. IF YOU TURN ON THE CAR WHILE IT IS DARK OUT, DASH WILL PROPERLY DIM. THERE SEEM TO BE ADDITIONAL SCENARIOS THAT INTERFERE WITH DASH DIMMING, SUCH AS OPENING A DOOR WHILE CAR IS ON AND TURNING ON OVERHEAD LIGHTING. DIFFICULT TO FOCUS ON ROAD AHEAD WHEN BRIGHT DASH AND SCREEN IS GLARING IN YOUR FACE.
