3 Structure problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2005

I have just purchased a 2005 Toyota Highlander limited. I find that in the bright florida sunshine, the instrument cluster (speedometer etc. ) is so deeply recessed into the dash, they are dark and impossible to read -- especially with sun glasses. This is rather disconcerting when I cannot see/read the speedometer! I have reported this to Toyota but they have not responded to date.
