Description of the problem | Interior dash and center console have highly reflective chrome bezels. The chrome reflects sun directly into driver (and passenger) eyes depending on the relationship of the sun and location of the vehicle while it is being driven. The reflections shine directly into the drivers eyes and occur at the same time across the length of the dashboard and center console. This reflection of sunshine into the interior is extremely distracting. Even if one holds up a hand in an attempt to block the bright reflection one can't block all the different reflections from the interior. I believe this is an severe safety issue that should require replacement of the mentioned interior chrome details with a dark non-reflective trim. |
