I am glad I found this site. I thought something was wrong with my eyes. When driving at night I am unable to use the rear view mirror because of the reflection from the rear defroster. Is there any solution for this problem?
The photos shown in this section show some of the problem. Street light and parking lot lights also reflect badly. It is very distracting and presents a driving hazard. I am relieved to see others have this problem with the reflecting defrost lines. Two days after I made my purchase and returned to the dealer with my legitimate complaint 4 days later I was received a very frosty treatment and was told that Toyota does not make a repair on this problem. Just to think after research I chose the Camery SE over the Sonata SE, Optima SE, similar Passat and Mazda6. I have owned and driven many cars with rear window defrosters and never had this problem. This should be a no-brainer to design and build...Ben
The rear window defrost lines reflects the lights of a car behind you. If there is one car behind you there is 20 lines of lights showing, if there is 2 cars behind you you now have 40 lines of lights be showing in your rear window and if three cars 60 lines and etc. It casuses a very bad distraction and you can not see anything else through your rear window. So I can not see anything clearly thorugh my rear window at night. During the day it is there but not as bright. If feel this is a safety hazard and Toyota should fix the problem.
