problem #1

Jun 152009

Routan

  • 88 miles
Heating/ventilation/air conditioning control panel is mounted low in the center dash area and is illuminated in blue, making it almost impossible to read in daylight. This causes the driver to take his/her eyes off the road when making adjustments to the settings and can result in a crash. The 2010 model of this vehicle uses white lighting, correcting the problem. 2009 models should be recalled for a retrofit.
