NHTSA Complaint #10257801 — 2009 TOYOTA MATRIX

THE SIDE REAR-VIEW MIRROR IS LARGE AND CREATES A LARGE BLINDSPOT SO THAT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE OBJECTS WHEN TURNING LEFT. I WAS TURNING INTO MY SUBDIVISION AND ALMOST HIT A VEHICLE THAT WAS WAITING FOR ME TO COMPLETE MY TURN BEFORE ENTERING THE INTERSECTION. I BELIEVE THE VEHICLE WAS A RED BMW SEDAN (SMALL), AND I DIDN'T SAW IT UNTIL WE ALMOST COLLIDED. FORTUNATELY I WAS GOING SLOWLY ENOUGH TO MAKE A QUICK CORRECTION WHEN THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE HONKED. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS OTHER SIMILAR INCIDENTS DURING THE SIX MONTHS I HAVE DRIVEN MY CAR. *TR
