I'm reporting a problem that can cause the vehicle to catch on fire. During cold temperatures the heated windshield will turn on and the car will catch on fire.

At night there is a dangerous, very distracting reflection in the windshield. What is being reflected upward are the lighted digital tachometer and speedometer. When the driver is driving at night in his or hers field of view are the dash gauges reflected vividly in the windshield glass. This condition exists in all 2015 S550's. and I believe that it exists on all 2014 S550 please address as I almost have had 3 accidents being distracted by this at night driving. Thank you
