Visibility › Windshield

Filed Dec 22, 2005NY

I JUST PURCHASED A 2006 LANDROVER LR3 WITH COLD CLIMATE PACKAGE WHICH INCLUDES A HEATED FRONT WINDSHIELD. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT ANY HEAD LIGHT FROM ON COMING CARS OR STREET SIGNS IS AUTOMATICALLY BLURRED BY THE VERTICAL ELEMENT LINES THAT ARE IN THE WINDSHIELD. (THERE ARE MANY VERTICAL HEAT ELEMENT LINES ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD). ANY BRIGHT LIGHT VIEWED AT NIGHT TENDS TO BE BLURRED WHICH CAN MAKE DRIVING A BIT MORE DANGEROUS. AS I HAVE SEARCHED, THERE ARE OTHER CAR MAKERS WHO OFFER FRONT HEATED WINDSHIELDS. HAVE THERE BEEN ANY STUDIES REGARDING THIS. *JB

Reading these

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
