This has continued to be an ongoing problem. I have taken it back to the dealer twice as it is becoming a safety hazard but they "cannot replicate" the problem. They state they have reports of the interior lighting dimming on some vehicles when they go through a tunnel, but then it corrects when they emerge. My car does this driving down the highway on a sunny day, it does it coming out of the parking garage into the sunlight, it does it at night, there is no rhyme or reason but I would say it is doing the "dimming of all control lighting" at least twice per month, which is dangerous to drive...not so much if you are in a familiar area, but if you are depending upon your navigation, and/or your speed control on an interstate hwy - this becomes a safety issue. I don't know where else to turn as my dealer just keeps shinning me on -probably because I am a female owner.

Continuation of previous problem, which dealer has said is not fixable. The display on the entertainment and navigation panel at dusk and during any type of rainy/stormy weather fades out to unreadable. You cannot read the time, the navigation or any of the other information on the panel. the display at night is always murky and unusable, but it is the fact that you completely lose it during "bad" weather that is most ineffective.
