I ATTACHED A PHOTO, NOTICE THE BLACK MARKS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE MIRROR...THESE WILL GET LARGER OVER TIME AND AFFECT VISIBILITY. THIS ALREADY HAPPENED WITH THE ORIGINAL INTERIOR REAR VIEW MIRROR, WHICH WAS REPLACED AT BREDEMANN TOYOTA IN PARK RIDGE, IL. THIS MIRROR IS NEVER TOUCHED, SO THIS IS VERY ODD. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 TOYOTA COROLLA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE WINDSHIELD STARTED TO CRACK ACROSS FROM THE PASSENGER'S SIDE TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. TOYOTA OF LINCOLNWOOD LOCATED AT (7225 N. CICERO AVE, LINCOLNWOOD, IL 60712) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE IS A VERY STRONG WAVE EFFECT ON THE FRONT AND REAR WINDSHIELD THAT COVERS THE LENGTH OF THE GLASS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM AND A SERIES OF WAVES OF VARIABLE WIDTH THAT COVER THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD. IT SEEMS AS IF THE THICKNESS OF THE GLASS VARIES. THE OBJECTS CHANGE SHAPE WHILE DRIVING. IT BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO OBSERVE THE APPROACHING TRAFFIC AND DISTANCES. WHEN YOU TRY TO TURN IT IS VERY DIFFICULT. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONCENTRATE ON THE ROAD DUE TO THE DISTORTION PRESENT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE EFFECT IS SIMILAR TO LOOKING THROUGH GLASSES THAT HAVE THE WRONG RECIPE, OR WEARING TOO STRONG READING GLASSES. I AM WORRIED ABOUT HAVING AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS SITUATION. DRIVING THE CAR CAUSES MIGRAINES AND HEADACHES.
WHEN I SET UP AND SET DOWN THE PILOT WINDOWS. IT MAKES A ESTRANGE NOISE, THIS CAR IS NEW. *TR
