All Visibilitywindshield Complaints
REFLECTION ON WINDSHIELD MAKES VISIBILITY VERY DIFFICULT. THIS CAUSES DRIVING BLIND FOR SHORT INSTANCES AND MAKES MANEUVERING/PARKING IN TIGHT SPOTS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. *NM
WINDSHIELD GLARE UNSAFE. E.G. ROUNDING CORNER INTO SUNLIGHT CAUSES DASH REFLECTION ONTO WINDSHIELD & UNABLE TO SEE OBJECTS OR VEHICLES IN FRONT. USE OF POLARIZED SUNGLASSES HELPS...BUT CAN'T WEAR THEM ALL THE TIME. DIFFICULT TO JUDGE DISTANCE, SEE OTHER VEHICLES.*JB
THE REFLECTION OF THE DASHBOARD ONTO THE WINDSHIELD IMPEDES VISIBILITY OUT OF THE WINDSHIELD. GOING FROM THE OUTSIDE (BOTH SUNNY AND CLOUDY DAYS) INTO A GARAGE OR TUNNEL, THE EXTREME GLARE PROHIBITS VISIBLITY THROUGH THE WINDSHEILD. WHEN IN A PARKING LOT AND BACKING OUT OF A SPACE, VISIBILITY IS RESTRICTED SEEING THE ADJACENT CARS.
DT: CONTACT STATES THE INTERIOR COLOR OF VEHICLE IS CAUSING A GLARE IN THE WINDSHIELD, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE. THIS HAPPENS ON A CLEAR AND SUNNY DAY. WHEN IT IS CLOUDY THE REFLECTION IS NOT AS BAD. THE SERVICE DEALER SUGGESTED PUTTING A RUG ON THE DASHBOARD TO ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM.*AK
GLARE ON DASH. NO ACCIDENT YET, BUT WILL BE.
