“The windshield of the Fj Cruiser seems to be unusually susceptible to pitting under normal driving conditions. When the sun or oncoming headlights shine on the windshield it becomes extremely difficult to see the road. The windshield suddenly appears to be dirty and translucent. Reference vehicle is a Toyota certified used vehicle. In overcast conditions the windshield is fine and appears fine from a distance. However, closer inspection reveals massive pitting that appears at first like dirt. …”
