Description of the problem | Head lights from oncoming traffic at nighttime have a "halo" and "prism" appearance. Additionally, reflective road signs are also very distorted, seeing what appears to be multiple signs. Since that time eyes have been tested with no change from last exam and new glasses are now being worn. There is no difference. My wife states she sees the same distortion when driving after dark. This has been a continual problem since we purchased the vehicle. In addition, the windshield was replaced in august, 2012, as a result of hail damage. It was replaced with genuine toyota parts. There is no difference. |
