NHTSA Complaint #11112575 — 2008 JEEP COMMANDER

THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR AND BRONZED AND HAS WHAT LOOKS LIKE VEINS RUNNING TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF THE MIRROR. I AM NOT ABLE TO SEE CLEARLY AT ALL FROM THE INSIDE OF THE JEEP. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE VEHICLE. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER. I WAS TOLD THE PART WAS DISCONTINUED AND NOT COVERED BY MY LIFETIME WARRANTY. THE DEALER AND BODY SHOPS HAVE TOLD ME THEY EXPERIENCED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WITH THIS ISSUE. THE MIRROR HAS DEFROST AND ELECTRICAL MOVEMENT. I FEEL THIS PART IS DEFECTIVE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR SAFETY ISSUES. MY JEEP ONLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 69,500 MILES AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION OTHER THAN THIS MIRROR. THE SIDE MIRROR AND NOT BEEN DAMAGED IN ANY WAY PHYSICALLY FOR THIS TO HAVE HAPPENED. THE GLASS IS SMOOTH AND DOES REFLECT LIGHT, HOWEVER, I CANNOT SEE CLEARLY AT ALL FROM THE DRIVER SEAT. THE BRONZING DOES NOT ALLOW A REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR OF WHAT IS BESIDE ME.
