Reduced visibility through the front windshield. The combination of low windshield angle and a light colored dash reduces visibility through the wind shield. This is especially a problem when going from light to darker areas- into garages, along a street with trees and along a city street as building block sunlight.
2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 12 of 12, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Due to the angle of the windshield, reflection from the light ash grey color, creates a very very bright colored glare, which reduces visibility immensely on sunny days. Without the proper sunglasses, it is very difficult to see pedestrians, other cars and signs. Note the "shaded" and or the vents of the dash and how much darker and less reflective they are in the attached photo. ( ie, above the transponder where it is shaded) I understand that the dark color dash does not create this dangerous reflection and some owners have replaced the dash at their own cost. I believe this is a safety hazard and the light color dash, trim, etc, should be replaced at company expense. This is a new model and it would be better now than later, before someone gets hurt, or worse, killed!
