“The contact owns a 2006 Gmc Canyon. The vehicle was purchased on march 5, 2008 and two days later, the contact realized that there was no keyhole on the passenger side. The rearview mirror reflected the instrument panel instead of the rear of the vehicle. The rear window has no molding, which will cause major damage to the driver's head in the event of a crash. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer, but they were unwilling to make the adjustments. The failure mileage was 22,900. Updated 06/30/08”
