Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The Lexus ls430 folding rear view mirrors (both driver side and passenger side) fold out past the acceptable vision range each time the vehicle is started. There is no way to disable the mirrors from being swung out each time the car is started (even though there is a cut-off switch). This results in having to manually adjust the mirrors by hand (which is not always easy to do for the passenger side mirror). Lexus does not offer an affordable method to stop this from happening - - other than offering a $2,000+ solution for new mirrors - - which is unattractive. …”
