MAZDA3

  • 15,000 miles
I have a complaint that could be very dangerous to others. I know to check my blind spot, but even when you turn to look over your shoulder (either way), the back panel between the back glass and the door is in the way. I have at least 3 times now, almost switched lanes into another vehicle because it wasn't visible. I looked in the side and rearview mirrors, as well, but I never saw the other vehicle. A friend of mine, as well as other 3 owners, also has the same problem with their Mazda 3.
