“The contact stated while driving at no particular speed the back ground color on the instrument panel made the instrument gauges impossible to see. The primary problem with this is in daylight. The sun beams into the window and there is direct contact with the instrument panel making it unable to be seen. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no alternative to the problem. The contact stated he could not read the speedometer during daylight hours. It was so bad that the contact's wife could not and would not drive in daylight hours.”
