In owners' own words
The dash grill pattern totally blinds the driver because the sun casts a reflection or glare of this dash pattern on the entire windshield. I have come close to hitting a child in residential that was riding his bike that I didn't see because of the reflection that blinded me. Luckily, I was traveling slow enough he moved in time. I didn't see him until the side window after he moved and I drove past. Visibility/wiper
Whenever the sun is out, the glare from the dash makes it impossible to see out of the windshield without mistaking the glare for a car/deer/other animal. Since I purchased the car in the middle of the winter where, here in Michigan, we don't get a whole lot of sunshine. Now after driving for a few days in sunshine, this glare is dangerous. This needs to be fixed before people get hurt. Visibility/wiper
Glare on the windshield from the reflected dash can be quite profound on sunny days. At times, when the sun is at a particular angle during late afternoon, the glare makes driving in congested city traffic very difficult due to a nearly opaque view through the glass. A perfect image of the dash blocks the driver's view of near objects, especially people walking on front of the vehicle. Visibility/wiper
