On a longer trip in my new Ford Transit Connect, I noticed reflections of the outward-facing dashboard and grill on the lower half of the windshield. Sometimes it was there,sometimes not. I checked the owners manual which mentioned "tempory shimmering" while the windshield warmed up. I did not realize until after a crash how much these reflections interfered with the driver's road visibility. The reflections come about when light shines on the windshield from the front or sides, but not from the back. Now that I know what's going on, I see how dangerous such windshields are, and the cars should be recalled and non-reflective windshields installed.

Safety recall notice 12s36/NHTSA recall 12v-374. While at my dealership mac haik Ford, 7201 s ih35. Georgetown TX on 8/6/12, I was notified of this safety recall for my windshield wipers at which time the part(s) were ordered for this repair. My last communication with my dealership was yesterday, Wednesday 9/12/12 and their response: "still on back order". This is upsetting as I have been told that my windshield wipers could cease to work at any time and today it is raining and I was unable to run necessary errands as I did not feel comfortable in driving in the rain with such faulty equipment. I would appreciate your attention, or someone's attention to this matter.
