Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Dt: 2005 Volvo saa. The consumer stated that is==was a glare in the windshield. The dashboard itself was a two tone color black and tan. The black piece was right above the steering column, and the rest of the dash was tan . Therefore can see a crease in the glare of the windshield. Dealership said either paint the black part of the dashboard tan or put dashboard cover on at my expense. If sun glasses used the glare was okay, but if not used the glare would be in my right eye. Consumer must lean over to the left to be able see without this glare.”
