NHTSA Complaint #11400240 — 2019 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA

THE PLASTIC CAPS ON SIDE MIRRORS (BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER) ARE INCREDIBLY UNSTABLE AND ARE AT RISK OF FLYING OFF OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DURING A WINDY DAY WHEN THE PLASTIC CAP FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR FLEW OFF. THE MIRROR/CAP HAD NO PREVIOUS DAMAGE AND WAS NOT LOOSE IN ANY WAY, SO THERE IS NO REASON THAT IT SHOULD HAVE JUST FLOWN OFF. THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN INVOLVED IN A MINOR ACCIDENT, AND WHEN I HAD THE PIECE REPAIRED, IT WAS SIMPLY SNAPPED ON WITH NO SEALANT, AND CONTINUED TO FALL OFF AFTER REPAIR.
