Description of the problem | I purchased this car 7-31-2015, by 8-3-2015 i noticed the windshield and passenger side windows looked badly pitted. I called the dealership and on 8-7-2015 took it in. They said it was pitch from a tree and agreed to detail it to remove the sap. I picked it up the same day. That was not the problem as the windows are still showing prisms when light comes through. When i came back about it again 8-28-25015 they said they couldn't see it at all but did pull another highlander out that was just taken off the truck, it too had the same issues with the pitting, the dealer has agreed to replace the windshield but not the passenger windows. I'm not happy that i was sold a car with defective windows. It is a safety hazard for night driving or when the sun is low. What can i do about this? |
