Consumer Description

ANYONE OVER 5'11" CANNOT SEE THE SPEEDOMETER WITHOUT SLOUCHING OR TIPPING THEIR HEAD SIDEWAYS. THE VIEW IS BLOCKED BY THE STEERING WHEEL. NO ONE AT THE DEALER HAD EVEN SAT IN A SIMILAR VEHICLE A MONTH AFTER I BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION. THE ONLY WAY TO SAFELY SEE THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE INDICATOR, HIGH BEAM INDICATOR OR OIL LIGHT IS IF THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A TILT WHEEL. I NOTIFIED THE DEALER AFTER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE LESS THAN 100 MILES. TO DATE THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING AND TELL ME IT COULD COST ME $3400 - $5000 TO RECTIFY.
