2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“I have a light gray interior trim package and the glare from the dashboard is extreme. There are times, like pulling into my own or public garages, when my visibility is reduced almost completely. On the open road the problem is also significant. To maintain good visibility I have resorted to wearing polarized sunglasses at all times during daylight driving.”

“The drivers door window has gotten vertical scratches on the outside of the glass. Dealer said a wiring harness caused the problem. They fixed it under warranty. (I wouldn't complain except the same thing has happened to my other 2018 bolt)”

“1) sunlight reflects off of the white dash onto the windshield and back into the driver's eyes. Visibility is impaired.

The incident likely happened the day before. …”

I was informed that the fault was caused because the wiper motor had been stripped . I am not sure how my wife, while driving the car could have caused the wiper motor to get stripped. The wipers were working one moment, and the next they were not. …”

“Thie is a new leased vehicle. Issue relates to severe forward visibility impairment in daylight due to dashboard reflection. My car interiors are light ash gray-ceramic which include a light-gray colored dashboard and trimming. I have relayed this issue to the dealership (weseloh Chevrolet - san diego ca) - but their recommendation was to purchase a dark-colored 3rd party dash-cover. I am concerned 3rd party dash mat could compromise or otherwise adversely affect the performance / deployment of dashboard air-bags during a collision - thus compromising the safety of passengers. …”
