Consumer Description

LARGE SCALE DESILVERING OF THE REAR VIEW MIRROR HAS LEAD TO THE APPEARANCE OF BLACK SPOTS AND LOSS OF REFLECTIVITY. THE SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF REFLECTIVITY HAS RESULTED IN DIFFICULTY SEEING OBJECTS IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS, ESPECIALLY DURING LANE CHANGE MANEUVERS. THIS HAS BEEN A LONG-STANDING ISSUE WITH AN UNKNOWN START DATE (PRIOR TO THE DATE GIVEN BELOW). ADDITIONAL RESEARCH CONDUCTED BY REVIEWING OTHER NHTSA COMPLAINTS FOR THIS MODEL, AND BY SEARCHING OTHER INTERNET SITES INDICATES THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE, E.G. <HTTP://WWW.CLUBLEXUS.COM/FORUMS/GS-3RD-GEN-2006-2011/556707-REARVIEW-MIRROR-QUESTION.HTML>.
