NHTSA Complaint #10629444 — 2007 LEXUS IS

MY DASH HAS BEEN MELTING FOR A LONG TIME NOW, IT FIRST STARTED LIGHTLY THEN WOULD DRY UP BUT THE LAST TWO SUMMERS IT HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE. YOU CAN NOT SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD DRIVING IN SUNLIGHT OR WHEN LIGHTS APPROACH AT NIGHT, GLARE FROM THE SHINE ON DASH PAD REFLECTS UP ON WINDSHIELD CREATING LARGE REFLECTIVE AREA. I HAVE TAKEN SEVERAL IMAGES RECENTLY THAT SHOW THE CLEARLY DEFECTIVE DANGEROUS CONDITIONS THIS CAUSES & IN THE IMAGES ALTHOUGH VERY CLEAR THAT IT BLOCKS SIGHT... YOU CAN NOT TELL THE SEVERITY THAT IS ACTUALLY PRESENT WHEN TRAVELING AND IT FLASHES ACROSS CERTAIN ANGLES & SOMETHING PULLS OUT IN FRONT OF MY CAR I AM TOTALLY BLINDED COUPLE SECONDS. ENOUGH TIME USUALLY HAVE HIT BRAKES OR SWERVE BECAUSE CAN NOT SEE AT ALL OR IF ABOUT TOO HIT ANYTHING OR NOT, LUCKILY SO FAR NOTHING HAS HAPPENED BUT IF SOMEONE NOT USED TOO THIS CONDITION DROVE MY CAR THEY WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE AN ACCIDENT NO QUESTION. I HAVE LOANED THE CAR TOO FRIENDS AND BROUGHT BACK INSTANTLY BECAUSE AFRAID TOO DRIVE LIKE THIS. *TR
