| Description of the problem | The dashboard's reflection in the windshield is terrible! It is especially bad on a bright, sunny day or when i'm pulling into my garage. The glare makes it so difficult that i must roll down the side window and put my head out to be able to pull into the garage! When i drive it in the dark, the street lights light up the dashboard and that too reflects into the windshield. I've reported this to ford executive office (karen jones) and they say it's just the way the vehicle was desgned. They claim it's not safety issue and have no plans to modify the vehicle. I disagree! They have not driven my truck and seen this!*ak |
