Is this a known problem?

What owners wrote
“When driving in the midday sun, the reflection on the dashboard is so bad that I can hardly see out of the windscreen. Happens frequently when driving in direct sun.”
Filed Oct 7, 2024
“Dashboard design creating significant glare on the windshield. Visibility is impaired.”
Filed Oct 4, 2024
“Design flaw/safety issue? The dash trim gets reflected onto the windshield and severely impairs visibility.”
Filed Oct 3, 2024
“The way the dash is made, anytime there is bright sunlight the reflection on the windshield makes it very difficult to see. This makes it very difficult to drive safely and see what is ahead of you, especially when switching between bright sunlight and a shaded area.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 49 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
