Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a problem with a distracting light that interferes with my night operation of the car. at night, away from lights, i see the 140 from the speedometer and e from the fuel gage, reflected in the windshield. the image is upside down and the light is a safety concern as it is dead ahead in the field of travel. ive adjusted my seat so im as low as possible, the top of my head is about 2 from the ceiling. i've contacted the dealer that attempted to service this, regional and national toyota offices (case # 200110160534). they report "this is a design flaw and nothing can be done".*ak
