Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“When sitting in drivers seat ( I am 5ft. 1 in tall) and the convertible top is open, I can not see through the rear view mira because the convertible top folded is blocking my vision. My seat is at highest position. Just as point of reference I had a 2012 Mini conv. And this was not a problem. Because of this I had to take the car back to the dealer and get another vehicle which cost me in excess of $5000 as my 3 day old car was considered used with 91 miles on it. My husband who is 5'9 tall tried it and had some visibility but very limited. …”
