When wearing sunglasses (polarized) the vehicle's radio and temperature control displays cannot be read. This causes the driver to take off or lower their prescription or regular sunglasses in order to read the displays. Doing this while driving seems to me to be a safety issue as additional distracted time is used to read the displays. Toyota dealer says it's a design issue, nothing they can do; the national Toyota customer service center has no fix for this problem.
