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 the 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. i have adjusted my seat so i am as low as possible, the top of my head is about 1" from the ceiling. i've contacted the toyota dealer. they stated they could not see the reflection, but if it is there, they report "this is a design flaw and nothing can be done". *jb
