Consumer Description

THE CHROME TRIM RING AROUND THE SHIFTER ON THE CONSOLE MOUNTED SHIFTER REFLECTS THE SUN RIGHT BACK INTO YOUR EYES DURING CERTAIN TIMES OF THE DAY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO HAVE THIS GLARE IN YOUR VISION. I MUST COVER THAT AREA WITH MY HAND TO BLOCK THE REFLECTION. I CANNOT HAVE BOTH OF MY HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I CANNOT LEGALLY TINT MY FRONT SIDE WINDOWS OR THE FRONT WINDSHIELD TO LESSEN THE LIGHT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS DESIGN FLAW. *TR
