Consumer Description

DURING CERTAIN TIMES OF THE DAY IN THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON WHEN THE SUN IS AT AN ANGLE THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR WINDOWS THERE IS A BLINDING GLARE ON THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN AS WELL AS THE HIGH GLOSS CLEAR COVER THAT COVERS THE AREA AROUND THE 7 INCH SCREEN. EVEN WITH SUNGLASSES ON IT IS LIKE LOOKING INTO THE SUN. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND DESIGN FLAW. MY BROTHER HAS THE SAME ISSUE ON A USED 2015 LEGACY THAT HE JUST BOUGHT. IN ADDITION THE SILVER METALLIC LIKE STRIP ABOVE THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT CREATES A PIERCING GLARE.
