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".

At night there is a glare on windshield from instrument panel. Has contacted dealer, dealer was not willing to do anything about that.

While driving at night dashboard light will reflect on windshield glass, and will interfere with driver's vision in dark. The reflection on to windshield was due to design flaw. The dasboard does not extend far enough to block the reflection from the instrument panel.

The reflection onto the windshield appears to be a design defect whereby the instrument cluster was not recessed sufficiently into the cluster to prevent reflection of the dashlights onto the windshield. Similarly, reflection of sunlight onto the windshield is apparent in bright sunlight. Dealer service department as denied any knowledge of the problem. Defect was reported to Toyota a few weeks after delivery and I was told that they would correct only if a recall was issued. The impairment of vision is a serious defect and safety hazard at night.

Glare on windshield from glass over instrument panel. Worse at night when dash lights are on, had to dim lights to see safely. Can also have glare daytime whether sunny or not. This is in my direct line of vision and can be a safety hazzard. Please advise if there has been a solution to this problem as I have consulted haley Toyota in roanoke va and they say they have never heard of the problem. I have seen several other complaints of this nature on your website.

Dashboard lighting reflects in the windsheild which interfers with vision. Dealer has tilted the speedometer & raised the gauges forward to change the angle for less glare. Toyota doesn't acknowledge this as being a problem.

Dashboard lights or sunlight that illuminates the lower right portion of speedometer (140 mph section) and fuel gauge reflect off of windshield at a location in the middle of the driver's line of sight causing a severe driving hazard.

Instrument panel (portions of speedometer and fuel gauge) reflects in windshield at eye level. At night, this glare impairs view of road, and normal head movements create the impression of something coming into road in front of car, causing reflexive braking or swerving. In daylight, sunlight striking instrument panel reflects in driver's eyes as a blinding flash or band of light. I reported this to manufacturer as part of dispute that included other defects (rattles and squeaks in dash area) and was informed that they would reposition instrument panel per technical service bulletin b0014-0. The repair attempt failed to correct the blinding glare or the other defects. I recently accepted an 2002 Avalon as a rental car and was stunned to find that this dangerous condition persists in the 2002 model.

Dash board does not extend far enough to block reflection from instrument panel onto front windshield creating a annoying distraction while driving. Issue was identified in February 2000 consumer reports review of the 2000 Avalon.

Severe glare into windshield from poor instrument panel design. Sun reflects off of instrument panel bazel into windshield at driver eye level blinding driver. At night lighted instrument gauges reflect into windshield creating a distracting "heads up" type display. Instrument panel lights must be almost completely dimmed to avoid reflection problem. This creates another problem of viewing gauges.

Reflections onto the windshield at night in poorly lit areas of the car gauges, cowl covering the gauges and wood area around the radio should be extended to prevent reflection. Nlm.

At night there is a green glow from the dash lights that reflects onto the front windshield, obscuring my view to the road ahead. It is impossible to get a clear view of the road and last night I almost hit a pedestrian because my view was obscured. The dealer tells me that there is no way to fix the problem and that I can turn the instrument lights off to solve the problem, but when I tried that it was impossible to read my speed, etc.

In daytime when sunlight reflects off the dashboard it makes a glare on the windshield that is blinding. At night the light from the dash panel reflects on the windshield. Toyota has been contacted.
