Chevrolet Camaro Visibility Safety Report | Aug 31, 2011
Reported on Aug 31, 2011
| THE WINDSHIELD IN MY 2011 CAMARO APPEARS TO HAVE OPTICAL DISTORTION WHICH CREATES A GHOSTING EFFECT THAT IS VERY DISTRACTING. IN PARTICULAR, AT NIGHT WHEN THERE ARE HEADLIGHTS, TAIL-LIGHTS, TRAFFIC LIGHTS, ROAD SIGNS, AND ETCETERA IT IS ESPECIALLY BAD. THIS IS EVEN SEEN WITH SUNLIGHT REFLECTIONS DURING DAYTIME DRIVING. THE REASON I FEEL IT IS OPTICAL DISTORTION IN THE WINDSHIELD IS BECAUSE IF I RAISE MY HEAD TO THE VERY TOP PORTION OF THE WINDSHIELD, THE OPTICAL DISTORTION GOES AWAY. I FEEL THIS IS INDICATIVE OF AN ANOMALY/DEFECT IN THE WINDSHIELD ITSELF. I HAD THE WINDSHIELD REPLACED ONCE WITH A NEW FACTORY WINDSHIELD AND I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME OPTICAL DISTORTION ISSUES. I'M CURRENTLY TRYING TO HAVE THE ISSUE RESOLVED. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS INDEED A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD IN WHICH I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE I'VE EVER DRIVEN (WHICH MAKES IT EVEN MORE STRANGE). IT IS MY HOPE THAT THIS TESTIMONY WILL BE HELPFUL TO ANYONE ELSE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. *TR | |
