Seal around windshield is leaking, causing electrical shorts in vehicle. Dealer cannot remedy the problem. The water drops onto the computer control and causes all instruments to work irradically on the dash board. Consumer feels the main controls should be shielded from windshield leaks. Also, the headlights and tail lights went out.

Headlights, as designed and as checked for alignment by the dealer, are aimed too low and do not cover enough area in front of vehicle for safe operation. Driver has to use high beams in local driving, with constant need to dim for oncoming traffic, where other cars can use only low beams. In country, at highway speeds, even high beams do not illuminate far enough.
