ONE THING THAT I FEEL THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESS IS THE USE AND SHAPE OF THE RIGHT SIDE MIRROR. AS IT STATES ON THE MIRROR, THINGS MAY BE CLOSER THAT THEY LOOK, IS ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS OF SOME OF THE "SO CALLED ROAD RAGE". WHEN THE DRIVER LOOKS IN THE RIGHT SIDE MIRROR, THEY SEE THAT HAVE CLEARED WHAT THEY ARE PASSING, HOWEVER, IT IS CLOSER AND REALLY UNSAFE TO RETURN TO THE LANE OF TRAVEL. I AND A OVER-THE-ROAD TRUCK DRIVER, WITH OVER THIRTY-ONE (31) YEARS EXPENSE. I HAVE BEEN IN FORTY-FOUR (44) OF THE LOWER FORTY-EIGHT (48) STATES AND CANADA. I FEEL THAT WE NEED TO GO BACK TO THE WAY THE MIRROR WAS DEIGNED , NOT CONVEX. THAT WAY A DRIVER SEES THE REAL PICTURE. I ALSO KNOW THAT EVERYONE IS IN A HURRY TO GO NOWHERE, TALK ON THE PHONE, READ A MAP, BOOK, PUT ON MAKE UP AND WHAT EVER THEY TRY TO DO. SOMETIMES, I THINK SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE HAVE A DEATH WISH. I DO NOT KNOW IF ANY OF YOU DO MUCH DRIVING, IF NOT, GET OUT OF YOUR OFFICE AND FIND SOMEONE, NOT A FRIGHT HAULER, SOMEONE THAT RUNS COAST TO COAST AND RIDE WITH HIM OR HER, I THINK YOU WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT OUT LOOK ON LIFE, OVER THE ROAD. THANK FOR YOU TIME [XXX]. *NM INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
