Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“When turning left the visibility is very poor for a 5' 1 driver. The double a pillar and large side view mirror block the driver's visibility and caused an accident. Several other people also complained about the visibility almost causing accidents on a LEAF blog website. The accident happened when turning left at a busy intersection and an old lady fell because the LEAF driver did not see the pedestrian soon enough due to poor visibility on a clear day around noon. …”
