On 5/30/07 I picked up a 2007 Toyota Corolla ce..at the time of the test drive I did not notice this safety issue & perhaps it was due to the distraction of the sales person's constant talking.. since I am short I need to move the seat up forward to be comfortable when driving & to be able to see clearly, but once I move the seat forward & tilt the steering wheel so that I can drive comfortably & safely I cannot see all of the speedometer readings.. on the left I can see 0-20 mph & on the right I can see 90-110 mph anything in between is not at eye level & I cannot see the speedometer readings.. when I drive in order to see my speed I need to take my eyes off the road look down & under the top part of the steering wheel.. obviously this is extremely dangerous when doing 70 mph on a parkway which I needed to do & I consider it to be a safety issue with this Toyota.. I cannot believe that Toyota actually put this out on the market. How did this vehicle pass safety tests " also, on this exact same vehicle I have filed a complaint on the tires ODI # 10200011 which I am still having a serious safety problem with.. has Toyota sacrificed consumer safety for production & income " this is not my first new car but it has become a horrific experience for me and I am afraid that these vehicle problems will become my statistic.. communications with Toyota have been unsuccessful..
