“I am citing a safety deficiency on 2016 Toyota rav 4 hybrid ltd, sold to me by greentree Toyota, danbury ct, on april 27, 2016. It is a reflective area attached to the dashboard, which causes a glare into the driver's eyes when the vehicle dashboard catches the sun. This unnecessary and dangerous glare is more than an annoyance because it reduces the driver's ability to see when the glare occurs. I therefore request and demand that it be corrected on my vehicle promptly. Toyota drivers who are affected by the reflective surface glare pose a threat to all vehicles on the road. …”
