“This report is in accordance of my owner's manual that suggests I report any safety issue to the nhsta. Upon purchasing the car we reported to the dealer that, amongst other problems, the rear view mirror vibrated at highway speed to such a degree that we could not make out what was behind us without grabbing the mirror to steady it (in fact, on one occassion I had to grab the mirror to see that the vehicle behind me flashing its lights was an emergency vehicle trying to pass me )we returned the vehicle for repair, the dealer assumed it was the mirror, and replaced the mirror 3 times. …”
