Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE HAS A HUGE FLAW. THE DESIGN ANGLE OF THE WIND SHIELD PICKS UP A GLARE FROM THE DASH WHICH COVERS THE ENTIRE VIEWING ANGLE FROM CENTER WIND SHIELD TO THE RIGHT. ONLY REALLY VISIBLE WHEN THE SUN IS OUT. KIA CONSUMER AFFAIRS HAS ADMITTED VIA EMAIL AND CASE STATEMENT THAT IT IS A DESIGN ISSUE AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE. PHOTO SHOWS DASH GLARE. ANYTHING THAT IS PLACED ON THE DASH IS REFLECTED ON THE WINDOW SHIELD.
