The rear view miirror on the passenger side does not move far enought to the left (9 P'clock) to permit adjustment so that there is a serious blind spot on cars moving up toward the left rear of the vehicle. So I conclluded there I a a serious design flaw in the mirror mechanism.... I talked to gary rhine, the dealer service advisor, and he said there was nothing that can be done about it. I have never owned a vehicle wherein the driver's rear view mirror could not be a adjusted all the way outward satisfactorily... I believe a recall is appropriate..........................................................................left rear of the vehicle. Attempts to adjust many itimes faile, so I conclude there is a design failure this failure nearly caused 2 accidents as I started to miove into the left lane.. I talked to gary rhine.
