Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Driver mirror,split screen. As vehicle approaches from the rear driver side, vehicle appears in split screen and as it approaches it appears to veer into your car. First reaction is to turn right, as it seems the approaching vehicle is going to hit my rear side. Gut reaction causes me me turn sharply to the right, indangering traffic in right lane( if I am in middle lane of three lane highway) or veer into ditch on right. This mirror should be replaced with normal view, it almost killed me.”
