1st occurance happened when going into an exit in the state of Pennsylvania from the highway. All gadgets froze and shut down. Engine kept running but stayed at 40 mph no matter how many times I pressed on the brake. 2nd occurence happened on the highway in NJ, same thing speedometer stayed stuck at 40 mph no matter how many times I pressed on the brakes.
Unexpected glare from the instrument panel has the potential to blind you while driving thru winding roads in bright sunlight. The curvature of the lower right and left corners of the panel needs to be made of a non-glare material. I am going to place something in each corner to keep them from reflecting the sun back in anyone's eyes.
