NHTSA Complaint #11230428 — 2019 CHEVROLET BOLT EV

I EXPERIENCED EXTREME WINDSHIELD GLARE WHILE DRIVING MY NEW CHEVY BOLT AT MIDDAY ON A VERY SUNNY DAY. THE GLARE WAS MANAGEABLE AT FIRST, AS I APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. AS I ENTERED THE INTERSECTION, THE WINDSHIELD SEEMED TO TURN WHITE. I LOST MY VIEW OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND WAS HIT BY AN SUV. THIS WAS THE FIRST REALLY SUNNY DAY AFTER I TOOK POSSESSION OF THE BOLT. PRIOR TO THAT DAY, THE WEATHER HAD BEEN PARTLY/MOSTLY CLOUDY. I HAVE DRIVEN THROUGH THIS INTERSECTION MANY TIMES BEFORE UNDER VARIOUS WEATHER CONDITIONS IN MY OLD ACURA TSX WITHOUT INCIDENT. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS AMOUNT OF GLARE ON A WINDSHIELD AT THIS TIME OF DAY BEFORE.
