Double vision at night

I have had a 2013 Cayenne Diesel (July build) since November and wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issue. At night, I see double vision of LED lights - whether is be taillights on cars I am following, stop lights or LED DTRL. For instance at about 1/2 city block away, a red light will have the main light with a very distinct ghosted "2nd" light directly below it. The dealer looked at my car vs. others and said they all do that. Can anyone else confirm they do? For an otherwise perfect car, this is a huge issue as driving at night is very distracting. For the record, I have 20/20 vision, wear no glasses or contact lenses.

Thanks in advance for any light you can shed (no pun intended)

Rick

You have the heated windshield? My salesman said to avoid them as there could be an issue with the thin wires inside the windshield.

Nope, no heated windshield option, just the standard windshield

2013 Cayenne S here. Can't say I have this with my windshield. This is going to sound silly but try cleaning your windshield both inside and out with something and see if this persists. Maybe you have some kind of residue left on your windshield from the factory ? If that doesn't help I would try and get a replacement from the dealer.

Oct CD build here and no issues I've noticed.

I second cleaning it good inside and out. Some detailers like to apply antifog (inside) and water repellant (outside). I've had that stuff do weird things in different lighting conditions.
