Consumer Description

THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT. THE SIDE MIRRORS ARE TOO LARGE AND PLACED IN A LOCATION ON THE WINDOW THAT CREATES A BLIND SPOT AND IN PARTICULAR THE DRIVER'S SIDE THERE ARE INSTANCES WHEN YOU CAN NOT SEE A CAR COMING AT YOU FROM THE LEFT, OR OF YOU ARE TURNING LEFT YOU CANNOT SEE IF THERE IS AN ISLAND. WHILE WE HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT, IT IS A HAZARD AND SHOULD BE RECTIFIED. THIS HAS GIVEN RISE TO A NUMBER OF NEAR ACCIDENTS AND I HAVE TRIED TO GET AUDIO TO LISTEN TO ME. *TR
