This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
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.
Front driver's side windshield has distortion in line of sight. Had new manufacturer's part installed and 2nd windshield has same issue. It causes dizziness and is very distracting.
