Toyota Avalon 2013 VisibilityToyota Avalon 2013 Visibility Review #10505067 TOYOTA AVALON 2013 car safety problem was reported on Mar 01, 2013.TOYOTA AVALON 2013, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VISIBILITY . in the 2013 toyota avalon, driver visibility is dangerously distorted when looking through the rear view mirror at approaching cars (especially at night), due to a defect in the new 2013 engineering design of the rear glass material, rear glass contour and angle, tinting, and defrost strips. all lights (especially vehicle headlights, street lights, traffic lights, etc.) observed through the rear glass have long, bright, vertical lines radiating at the top and bottom from the main light source viewed through the rear view mirror. these vertical lines shining from all of the numerous light sources obscure the rear view vision, causing confusion for the driver in many ways: 1) not being able to correctly judge rear car distance, 2) not being able to identify the types of vehicles in the rear, 3) not being able to change lanes safely because of distortions through the rear glass panel, 4) not being able to judge how many vehicles are approaching and/or passing, and last but not least, 5) causing the driver to stare longer through the rear view mirror in an attempt to discern what is taking place behind which takes the driver's eye off of the front vision for too long. although the bright vertical lines can be seen more distinctly at dusk and night, they are also observable during the daytime if the vehicles coming from behind have front lights on, and/or the sun shines on the chrome. these radiating vertical lines take on the color of the main light source seen from behind so the driver may observe white, yellow, red, green, etc. colors. this causes confusion when trying to judge what is happening with approaching vehicles from behind. on a multi-lane highway at night, these many-colored vertical lines radiating up and down from the various types of headlights, street lights, etc. cause a confusing and dangerous situation for the driver. .Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):4T1BK1EB5DU.

Toyota Avalon 2013 Structure BodyToyota Avalon 2013 Structure Body Review #10523373 TOYOTA AVALON 2013 car safety problem was reported on June 11, 2013.TOYOTA AVALON 2013, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STRUCTURE:BODY . serious problem: 2013 toyota avalon dashboard trim causes a dangerous reflection of sunlight directly into driver's eyes. during mid-day sun, blinding beams of sunlight bounce off several areas of the mirrored-chrome-colored plastic trim that surrounds the dashboard and wraps around the instrument cluster. sunlight is reflected off chrome trim beneath the tachometer and speedometer. blinding sunlight also reflects off trim on both sides of the steering wheel, and other points across the trim. depending on time of day and direction of car, sunlight bounces off different places on the trim. because the trim is beveled, instead of a vertical surface, it focuses the sunlight directly back into the driver'¿¿s eyes. drivers need to regularly glance down at the instrument cluster and reflected sunlight from that area and other sections on the dash is dangerously distracting. accidents could occur as a result of drivers being momentarily blinded by their dashboard trim. toyota needs to replace the mirrored surface of the trim, as well as other chrome trim on the steering wheel and around the air conditioning vents, with a dark-colored trim or matte, non-reflective surface. despite similar complaints posted at the nhtsa and my direct contact with toyota motors usa, the company refused to offer a solution and/or temporary work-around for retro-fitting the trim with a non-reflective surface. the company told me it does not acknowledge there is a problem with sunlight reflecting into driver's¿¿ eyes from the trim. thus, no problem means no need for a solution. this needs to be investigated by the nhtsa. because the problem occurs in 2013 models of toyota avalon currently being sold in dealerships, the buying public needs to know about it. further, toyota needs to be prompted to take corrective action to prevent unnecessary injuries or fatalities in the future. *tr.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 200 miles.
