Consumer Description

Issue Description: While driving during daylight hours, especially when the sun is positioned at a certain angle, I have observed an intense reflection from the dashboard onto the inside of the windshield. This reflection is bright and widespread, directly obstructing my field of vision and making it difficult to see the road ahead clearly. The glare is particularly noticeable on clear or sunny days and significantly increases the risk of an accident. This visibility issue appears to be related to the dashboard material and design, which may not adequately diffuse or absorb sunlight. I believe this condition may affect other drivers as well, potentially leading to widespread safety concerns. I respectfully urge the NHTSA to investigate this matter and consider whether this condition warrants further examination or manufacturer guidance to reduce the risk associated with glare-induced visibility loss. Please let me know if any further information or documentation (such as photographs or video recordings) would be helpful in reviewing this issue. Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your continued efforts in promoting road safety. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
