THE DASH LIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO EASILY READ THE INFORMATION. IF YOU WEAR SUNGLASSES, YOU MUST REMOVE YOUR SUNGLASSES IN ORDER TO ATTEMPT TO READ THE SPEEDOMETER OR OTHER INFORMATION, BECAUSE IT IS TOO DIM. THE DASH IS DIMLY LIT AND DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH CONTRAST. WHEN IT IS OVERCAST, THE DASH IS BARELY READABLE. WHEN IT IS SUNNY OR BRIGHT OUTSIDE, THE DASH IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE. THIS IS DANGEROUS, BECAUSE IT TAKES THE DRIVER'S EYES OFF OF THE ROAD FOR TOO LONG. HAVING THE DIMMER SWITCH SET TO FULL BRIGHT DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. WE HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED ON 5/18/17. ATTACHED ARE A PICTURE OF THE DASH WHEN IT IS SUNNY AND A PICTURE WHEN IT IS CLOUDY.

EXPERIENCES DANGEROUS STALLING AND LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER TO ENGINE DURING DRIVING. THIS CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THIS IS SPECIFICALLY A SYMPTOM OF ONE OF THE MANY RECALLS SUPPOSEDLY PERFORMED ON THIS VEHICLE ALREADY. I BELIEVE THE RECALL REPAIR PREVIOUSLY WAS NOT COMPLETED PROPERLY BECAUSE I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS 10 TIMES IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS.
