Consumer Description

ON FIRST INCIDENT, IN AUGUST OF 1999, I WAS TRAVELLING AT 65 MPH ON I-4 JUST NORTH (EAST) OF ORLANDO, FLORIDA WHEN THE RIGHT , SIDEVIEW MIRROR LENS FLEW OFF, BOUNCED ALONG THE SIDE OF MY CAR, AND FLEW BACK INTO THE TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. I STOPPED, AND NO OTHER CARS STOPPED- THEREFORE I DON'T FEEL THIS MIRROR HIT ANYONE. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED IN JULY OF THIS YEAR, WHERE THE LEFT SIDE-VIEW MIRROR BLEW OFF UNDER IDENTICAL CIRCUMSTANCES. AGAIN, THERE WERE NO INJURIES. WHY DID BOTH SIDE-VIEW MIRRORS FAIL (AND BLOW OFF) WITHIN AN ELEVEN MONTH PERIOD. I'M SURE THE POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS, IF NOT FATAL INJURY WAS THERE WITH THIS 3" BY 4" PIECE OF GLASS FLYING AROUND AT 65 MPH. I CONTACTED FORD, AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVE SAID THAT THEY WOULD DO NOTHING FOR ME , AS THE CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. PLEASE NOTIFY ME OF THE RESULTS OF ANY INVESTIGATION REGARDING THIS COMPLAINT. THANKS FRANK RENNER. *AK
