Bring that those switches are the most crucial when operating the vehicle the white lettering should be sustainable and durable making the visibility great whether driving during the day or night.

During normal driving - clear weather conditions - the car will suddenly activate the forward collision braking. It will literally slam on the brakes and decrease the speed by 10-15 MPH. This happened as I was going down the drive of our neighborhood, I was at 45 MPH with no one in front of me or behind me (thankfully) and the car applied the brakes and activated the front collision warning. There is also an intermittent issue with my seatbelt. Specifically the drivers seat belt. I was witness to someone driving my car - he buckled his seat belt and it unlatched. He then buckled it again thinking he didn’t do it right - but it wouldn’t latch. This has happened to me before as well - but usually after the third try of buckling the seat belt it will work and so I thought nothing of it. Additionally, the windshield wipers do not go back to their original position after being in use.

Parts of windshield, rear window and side windows have distortion. I would describe it as though one hasn't turned on the windshield wipers during a pretty heavy mist (not a downpour).

My car has cracks in the windshield located outside of the vehicle from both sides on the wiper blades trails. It has not been hit by a rock. I noticed it on two different occasions when I was using the wipers on rainy days. I was told by the glass repair shops that it was caused due to the heated wipers while it was cold outside. The vehicle was in motion and while driving in the rain to work the cracks appeared to travel longer on the windshield.

Windshield wipers wouldn't work while driving in rain on highway. Pulled over, went to service station, they had me turn car off and checked some fuses. Then warning lights came on about the vehicle stability control, braking and various safety features. This morning when I started car and backed out of driveway the wipers started working but the warning lights are still on. Took it to dealer this morning.
