| Component | VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The design ( angle ) of the windshield creates severe visibility problems when driving into the sun. The glare off the front windshield is blinding even with the sunshade down. Using sunglasses helps but does not elevate the problem at all. I have tried adjusting seat to change viewing angle but wont help. This is a problem i have never experienced with any other vehicles i have driven. This concerns me very much and makes me hesitant to drive the car in the mornings. With sun behind you there are no problems with visibility. *jb |
