While driving during the daytime the sun light reflects from chrome lining of the dash and around and under speedometer. This causes glare as if I were watching a welder at work with no sheild. This will blind you, this will blind you, this will blind you. Not only while you are driving but permanently,permanently, and even more quickly for drivers that require glasses that magnify, that magnify the welding spots. The welding spots do not occur in only one spot but several as the car and sun move. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
2014 Toyota Avalon body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 12 of 12, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Few days after purchasing brand new 2014 toyota avalon, noticed a highly intense mirror like reflection of the sun coming off the very thick shiny polished chrome in the dashboard that surrounds the instrument cluster and the AC vents in the center. 3 spots in the dash where I get severe glare. It happens usually midday when it's sunny outside and sun is overhead. The blinding light is so bad I must put my hand in a position to obstruct the view from my eyes. I am scared this may distract me from driving and cause an accident, or even cause injury to my vision and permanently blind me. Please help. Took vehicle to dealer complaining about it 6/10/14. They said they will look into it. I see complaints from 2013. Why hasn't anything been done about this? How can they build a car like this and continue selling it this way? I am scared to drive this car with the thick polished chrome in the dash.
