Consumer Description

THE DRIVER WAS ENTERING THE VEHICLE AND WHEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS SHUT, THE PASSENGER SIDE SIDE MIRROR GLASS FELL OFF AND SHATTERED. THIS LEFT A BLACK PIECE OF METAL WHERE THE MIRROR SHOULD HAVE BEEN. BECAUSE THE GLASS FELL OFF SO EASILY, THIS COULD HAVE EASILY HAPPENED WHILE ON THE ROAD FROM A GUST OF WIND OR A BUMP. IF THE GLASS HAD FALLEN OFF WHILE DRIVING AND WAS NOT NOTICED, IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF ONE WAS NEEDING TO USE THE MIRROR FOR PASSING OR MERGING.
