I have only had this vehicle for 3 weeks but I have noticed that the lower part of the radio and the fog lamp switch get very hot. Particularly at night. I did notice that the foglamp switch cooled off a bit if I turned the fog lamps on. The lower part of the radio and the top part of the climate controls stay hot. This could be a hazard for young children and possibly a fire hazard. That's how hot the area can become. The wiring in a vehicle should not be generating that much heat. I have not contacted the dealer yet. I will be having the vehicle serviced in the next week or two and I will mention it at that time.
