| 2006 toyota 4runner: vision problem exists when viewing lights, i.e. headlights, street lights, traffic lights, etc. through windshield. all lights have a double, or ghost, image that exists above the actual light source. this problem exists all of the time, but is much more noticeable at night with a dark background. i have had no success resolving this problem with the toyota dealership or the district service manager. the windshield has been replaced twice and all three windshields (original and two replacements) exhibit the same problem. i have also inspected approximately 10 to 12 other 2006 and 2007 toyota 4runners and all of these vehicles exhibit the same problem. *tr | |||

| Optical safety problem when looking through the front windshield of my 2006 toyota 4 runner: any increased light situation, @ night or during the day, provides a double vision of the light source that appears above the source ~ 8 to 10 feet @ ~ 1 mile away. as the vehicle gets closer to the source it converges downward toward the light source until it reaches the front of the vehicle when it almost merges completely. this action actually causes me to become nauseated while driving practically any distance causing an unsafe optical view distracting me while i'm driving taking my attention to the double vision conditions. at times it is almost hypnotizing. i have documented this complaint 3 or 4 times to the dealer and once to the home office via email to no avail. i've been told by the dealership that this condition is common on this model yet they will not replace the windshield as it is seen as not a problem to be replaceable. no personal accident has occurred yet due to this condition. maybe other owners are experiencing the same phenomenon. *nm | |||
