| Description of the problem | 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). |
