Consumer Description

THIS IS NOT AN ACCIDENT (YET) BUT THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IS FAILING - IT WAS THE KIND THAT HAS ALL THE "FEATURES" DIMMER, COMPASS ETC BUT IT IS FADING AND I CONSIDER THAT A SAFETY CONCERN. THE FADING MAKES IT LOOK LIKE AN OLD FASHIONED MIRROR WITH A TARNISHED LOOK THAT IMPEDES VISIBILITY AND CREATES BLIND SPOTS. I LOOKED IT UP ONLINE AND IT IS COMMON BUT I WONDER WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN CONSIDERED A RECALL SINCE MIRRORS ARE SAFETY EQUIPMENT. *TR
