NHTSA Complaint #11320649 — 2006 LEXUS GS

INSIDE REARVIEW MIRROR HAS PROGRESSIVELY DEVELOPED BLACK MARKINGS OVER PAST SEVERAL YEARS THROUGHOUT THE MIRROR OBSTRUCTING MY REARVIEW VISION IN BOTH DAYLIGHT AND AFTER DARK. VERY WELL DOCUMENTED BY OTHER LEXUS OWNERS. LEXUS HAS NOT AND IS NOT PLANNING ON ANY RECALLS BUT THIS IS A CLEAR SAFETY RISK AND HAS CAUSED SEVERAL CLOSE ENCOUNTERS AS I HAD MY VISION OBSTRUCTED AND NEARLY CAUSED SEVERAL TRAFFIC ACCIDENT DUE TO OBSTRUCTED VIEW. HAVE PRESENTED THIS CONCERN TO LEXUS NUMEROUS TIMES BUT WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BUT THE REPLACEMENT MIRROR IS $1000. I AM THE SOLE OWNER SINCE PURCHASED NEW IN 2005, GARAGED HOME AND WORK, EXTREMELY WELL MAINTAINED AT LEXUS DEALERSHIP SINCE NEW AND WITH EACH SERVICE, IT IS DISCUSSED BUT WITHOUT SUPPORT FOR REPLACEMENT. CLEARLY IS MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN PRODUCTION AND INCREASING SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
