Description of the problem	A. Day driving impaired visibility-rear windshield: a rear windshield visibility problem exists with the 2018 toyota avalon on sunny days.. The combination of the steep angle of the rear windshield and the light interior on the back deck behind the rear seats creates a glare onto the rear windshield. The glare is the reflection of the rear deck panel onto the entire rear windshield. It is a distraction to the driver because it is difficult to see clearly cars approaching from behind through the rear view mirror. Instead of looking through the rear window, the driver looks at the rear window which causes more distraction. This lack of clear visibility can potentially cause an accident. Toyota has had this problem since 2013 (nhtsa 10505067) and should have solved it. Photo image 5288 clearly shows the reduction in visibility caused by the glare which appears as a haze across the entire rear windshield. Photo image 5289, problem mitigated by using a darker interior (for contrast, black towel on left side) on the back deck. B. Night driving impaired visibility-rear windshield headlights of approaching cars from behind shine though the rear windshield, and create vertical columns of dashed lines as shown in photo bw1, with window film. These lines are spaced in proportion to the distance between the heater strips in the rear windshield. And obstructs the drivers view. Without window film, this night effect is still not eliminated as shown in photo bw2. Toyota has built this avalon from 2013 through 2018, and should have fixed these design flaws; (1) the daytime glare on the rear windshield on sunny days, and (2) the night time vertical column of dashes created by car
