The windshield of this vehicle was designed to be lighter weight to increase fuel savings. This in turn caused the windshield to be more fragile. Rock chips immediately cause cracks in the glass, and larger object penetrate to the polymer sub-layer easily. This is a major safety issue in states like Colorado that still use gravel for traction on ice.

1) low beam headlights have a very short range, perhaps as little as 100 feet with a very sharp cut-off. Almost hit a deer because although I was driving at 30 mph, I could barely see the deer as it crossed the road. This was evident on a straight country road with no street lights while the car was in motion driving straight. This is a serious safety issue because it's dangerous to drive on low lit or unlit roads at night. The fix would be a redesigned headlamps (both sides) or a brighter bulbs. NHTSA safety rating site shows the problem clearly. It's dangerous. 2) windshield wipers continue to streak although they were replaced by the VW dealer, elgin VW, which did not fix the problem. The streaking creates a blind spot on the right part of the windshield. Unable to see to the right front at intersections.
