Consumer Description

1) SUNLIGHT REFLECTS OFF OF THE WHITE DASH ONTO THE WINDSHIELD AND BACK INTO THE DRIVER'S EYES. VISIBILITY IS IMPAIRED. THE EFFECT EXTENDS AS FAR AS THE SIDE MIRRORS AND THIS IN PARTICULAR NEARLY CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO ANOTHER CAR WHICH I DID NOT SEE DUE TO THE TEMPORARY OPACITY OF THE GLASS. I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE OF THIS INCIDENT. I'M ONLY CLICKING ON THE CALENDAR BECAUSE THAT ACTION IS REQUIRED IN ORDER TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. I'M USING THE DATE THE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN. THE INCIDENT LIKELY HAPPENED THE DAY BEFORE. 2 )THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH SUNLIGHT REFLECTING OFF OF A SHINY CHROME BAR JUST ABOVE THE VIDEO SCREEN DIRECTLY INTO THE DRIVER'S EYES.
