Consumer Description
REAR VIEW MIRROR (SELF-DIMMING WITH COMPASS) BECAME CLOUDY AND DISCOLORED. UNABLE TO CLEARLY VIEW ACTIVITY BEHIND VEHICLE. THIS IS, ACCORDING TO INTERNET RESEARCH, A COMMON DEFECT IN THE SUBARU REAR VIEW MIRRORS IN THE ERA OF (APPROXIMATELY) 2003-2008. NO RECALL HAS BEEN RECEIVED. AN E-MAIL TO SUBARU LAST EVENING EXPLAINING THIS PROBLEM WAS ANSWERED BY TELLING ME TO ORDER A NEW MIRROR FROM A LOCAL DEALER. THEY NEED TO INVESTIGATE THE DEFECT AND PROVIDE NEW MIRRORS. IT'S AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE AND MUST BE CORRECTED BY SUBARU IMMEDIATELY. *TR
