| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Optical safety problem when looking through the front windshield of my 2006 toyota 4 runner: any increased light situation, @ night or during the day, provides a double vision of the light source that appears above the source ~ 8 to 10 feet @ ~ 1 mile away. as the vehicle gets closer to the source it converges downward toward the light source until it reaches the front of the vehicle when it almost merges completely. this action actually causes me to become nauseated while driving practically any distance causing an unsafe optical view distracting me while i'm driving taking my attention to the double vision conditions. at times it is almost hypnotizing. i have documented this complaint 3 or 4 times to the dealer and once to the home office via email to no avail. i've been told by the dealership that this condition is common on this model yet they will not replace the windshield as it is seen as not a problem to be replaceable. no personal accident has occurred yet due to this condition. maybe other owners are experiencing the same phenomenon. *nm |
