| Front suspension has a clunk everytime you turn and start from cero. radio, backlight is to low and is impossible to read it with sunlight in cold weather the vents for the a/c cycles every 15 seconds and headlight, interior light dim every time. people think you are changing lights when driving at night because of this cycling of vents going on with the a/c on. the system is not normal working. every outlander has the same issue. is kind of annoying to drive at night with the light dimming every 15 to 30 seconds. *tr | |||
