Consumer Description

SINCE BUYING THIS CAR NEW I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE NEAR ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE BLIND SPOTS CAUSED BY BOTH A-PILLARS, USUALLY INVOLVING PEDESTRIANS FROM THE LEFT (CROSSWALKS, PARKING LOTS) AND CROSSING TRAFFIC AT INTERSECTIONS APPROACHING FROM THE RIGHT. I HAD NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH MY PRIOR VEHICLES (PREVIOUS NEW VEHICLE = 2001 DODGE DURANGO). I HAVE TRIED TO ADAPT SINCE IDENTIFYING THIS PROBLEM BY LOOKING AROUND THE A-PILLARS BUT IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN, ESPECIALLY IN BUSY/CROWDED SITUATIONS. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, I HAVE NEARLY STRUCK PEDESTRIANS (AGAIN, ONLY THOSE APPROACHING FROM MY LEFT) OR ACTUALLY PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF A CAR APPROACHING FROM MY RIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION. IS THIS A COMMON COMPLAINT SINCE THE WIDER A-PILLARS WERE ADAPTED? *TR
