THE WINDSHIELD IS SEVERELY DISTORTED. DURING THE DAYTIME, WHILE MOVING, OR SEEING MOVING OBJECTS, IT IS UNUSUALLY HARD TO JUDGE SPEED AND DISTANCE DUE TO THE DISTORTIONS. AT NIGHTTIME, THE DISTORTIONS BEND, TWIST LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS MAKING DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS. MULTIPLE VISITS TO THE DEALER AND A VISIT FROM A TOYOTA FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE TO INSPECT THE WINDSHIELD HAVE BEEN MET WITH REFUSAL TO MAKE REPAIRS. THE FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE DOES ACKNOWLEDGE WINDSHIELD DEFECTS BUT SAYS "THEY ARE COMPARABLE TO LIKE VEHICLES." HE REFUSED TO EXAMINE OTHER NEW "LIKE" MODELS WITH ME BECAUSE HIS ASSERTION IS ERRONEOUS.
