“Mercedes benz 1999 CLK320: the outside mirror on the driver's door has turned so dark, it is virtually black and the driver cannot see anything in it. This inability to see in this exterior side-view mirror is extremely dangerous. It probably is caused by changes in the coating that is supposed to either heat the mirror or dim it.”
