DASH LIGHTS BLINK ON/OFF WHEN HEAD LIGHT SWITCH IS IN THE AUTOMATIC POSITION. THE AUTOMATIC HEAD LIGHT SWITCH IS NO LONGER RELIABLE. LIGHTS NEED TO TURNED ON/OFF MANUALLY. AT THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 300M, THIS FAULTY SWITCH IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRENTY. ONE YEAR LATER, INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS NOW BLINK ON/OFF CAUSING DISTRACTION. DRIVERS SEAT POSITION BUTTON IS NOW STARTING TO MOVE UP AND BACK DURING INCORRECT TIMES. AT TIMES SEAT POWER DOESN'T WORK AT ALL. TOTALLY ELECTRICAL???

THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH ELECTRIC WINDOWS AND A CRACK IN THE DASH. THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS HAD STUCK SHUT DUE TO THE TIGHT SEAL DESIGNED TO REDUCE THE WIND NOISE, AND THE CRACK IN THE DASH WAS AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AND APPEARED WHERE THE MATERIAL WAS STRETCHED OVER THE AIR BAG UNDERNEATH.
