20161221VISIBILITY/WIPER
MY VEHICLE PURCHASED LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO HAS DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD THAT DISPLAYS NUMEROUS SCRATCHES AT NIGHT ONLY. VISION IS DISTORTED CAUSING HEADACHES WHEN ONCOMING VEHICLES LIGHTS HIT THE WINDSHIELD. THIS WAS BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF MY LEXUS DEALER AFTER DRIVING AT NIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME AND HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR UNSUCCESSFUL REPAIR THREE TIMES TO DATE. MY LOANER VEHICLE, WHICH IS A 2017, HAS THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO SAT IN THREE OTHER NX200'S AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. DEALERSHIP WON'T FIX UNTIL LEXUS ACKNOWLEDGES ISSUE AND COMES OUT WITH A FIX FOR THE ISSUE. *TR
