Description of the problem | Vehicle dashboard chrome accents reflect the sun at mid-day like a mirror, blinding the driver. This happened to me today while driving. This makes the vehicle undriveable for nearly 2 hours each day. There are many similar reports online, including this one from a professional reviewer: " although the chrome used is ? Smoked? To lessen brightness, matte aluminum would have improved the overall ambiance immensely. At one point, i was actually blinded by dazzling reflections off the bezel of the instrument cluster." - http://reviews. Carreview. Com/2013-toyota-avalon-limited-review *js |
