1 Visibility problem

Failure Date: 10/15/2010

The rear window on 2010 Toyota Prius , while driving at night,generates the vertical light bars attached to the source of light , headlight of the folowing vehicle, thus image of the cars traffic on the busy highway is totally distorted by the presence of the these unwarranted light efects. This defect introduces the safety issue while driving in heavy traffic, the driver is presented with the light effects that totally blurs the back view . The issue is augmented if the rear window is tinted . The issue had been been verified by round rock(texas) Toyota and appears to have been a test escape. However the dealership refused to address the problem arguing that there is insufficient field data that would justify action to be taken. Being the user of the multiple Toyota product in the past, I can express the heavy concern about the potential safety breach while driving at night, primarily in heavy hiway traffic.
