    My dealer had to take the dash apart, remove the lens, clean the lens, and then re-install. I was fortunate that mine was still under warranty at the time.

    I have seen this happen only once to me.

    There was water/moisture in the car from the humid weather and some wet clothes in a bag left over night in the back of the car.

    Never, ever leave anything inside the car that is wet especially overnight.
    The display for some reason is a magnet to moisture.
    Once I removed everything from the car, I never saw the problem again.

    For example a gym bag left in the car after a work out should be avoided.

    This was a common problem with earlier cars. Not so much anymore. Easy dealer fix.
