Honda Cr-v Visibility/wiper Safety Report | Apr 17, 2013
Reported on Apr 17, 2013
| AFTER TAKING OUR NEW HONDA CRV ON ITS FIRST SHORT TRIP - MOSTLY HIGHWAY DRIVING, I BEGAN TO REALIZE THAT ON FREEWAY DRIVING THERE WAS A CONSTANT VISUAL DISTRACTION WITH THE DRIVERS-SIDE DOOR REAR MIRROR. MAINLY DUE TO THE SPLIT FROM THE DESIGN OF THE MIRROR. IT CAUSES A VISUAL IMPAIRMENT TO MY PERIPHERAL VISION, GIVING A FALSE SENSE OF PASSING CARS COMING TOO CLOSE TO THE VEHICLE AS THEY PASS TO THE RIGHT (FREEWAY DRIVING). THIS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES ABOUT 5 TIMES IN A 120 MILE DRIVE. AT ONE POINT, A CAR COMING UP ALONG MY DRIVER'S SIDE FELT SO CLOSE I SWERVED INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE. WHILE AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT I ASKED ABOUT THE DRIVER'S MIRROR, IF THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE MIRROR TO HAVE THE SPLIT ON IT., THEY CHECKED INTO IT AND SAID THAT IT WAS. I ASKED IF IT COULD BE SWITCHED OUT FOR A NON-SPLIT MIRROR AND WAS TOLD IT COULD NOT. I JUST FEEL THIS MIRROR HAS A POTENTIAL DANGEROUS VISUAL FLAW AND SHOULD BE REPORTED FOR REVIEW. *TR | |
