Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Both rear view mirrors for the driver side and passenger side spontaneously popped off and would no longer stay in place. They would just swivel back and forth while driving. I needed to use tape to keep them in place while driving. I heard a loud popping sound while my car was parked and the mirror just fell backwards. Nothing hit the mirror and I was in the car as it happened. The popping mirror happened on two separate occassions. The first time happened while I was driving and I thought something had hit my mirror and caused it to break. However, I didn't see anything hit it while driving. …”
