Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE DAYTIME RUNNING HEADLIGHTS IN DRIVE MODE, I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE NEW FEATURE FOR THIS MODEL. CAN NOT SWITCH LIGHTS UNTIL CAR IS PARK MODE, ENGINE OFF. I HAVE NOTICED WHEN I HAD EMERGENCY BRAKE ON AND STARTED THE ENGINE, THE LIGHTS WHERE OFF UNTIL I RELEASED THE BRAKE AND THEY CAME BACK ON. THERE ARE TIMES I NEED TO HAVE CONTROL TO TURN LIGHTS OFF AT NIGHT THAT DONT REFLECT ON OTHERS WHILE IDLING THE CAR. IT NICE TO HAVE RUNNING LAMPS ON FOR SAFETY, BUT I SHOULD BE ABLE TO TURN THEM OFF WHEN NEEDED. EXAMPLE: DRIVE IN THEATRE. HAD THIS PROBLEM FROM THE DAY I PURCHASE MY CAR.
