All Toyota Prius vehicles since 2004-- cannot see the dash board during all bright, sunny days. Cannot see speedometer- do not know the speed of the vehicle. Very dangerous !!!!!!! at night, a wide green slash appears on the windshield at drivers eye level. Impairs night vision. Again, dangerous -impedes rivers ability to see properly.
