GX 460

  • 400 miles
When putting the vehicle in reverse the sideview mirrors automatically turn in and down per Lexus default. Problem is you cannot override the default to adjust them for a clear view to the rear, which means every time you back-up you have to adjust them. That creates 2 safety issues: First being sometime I am in the middle of the street trying to adjust the mirror to I can back-up, second if I don't I could possible damage or injure something or someone. I am a retied tractor-trailer operator, was also instructor qualified in the military, an accident investigator in the military, and have over a million miles under my belt. I say this so you understand if this was the military I would not let any of my soldiers operate this vehicle with the default Lexus has set the mirrors at. I have notified Lexus, but they are taking it as a dissatisfied customer instead of a safety issue and the possibility of the major ramifications this could cause (I.e. damage, injury, death, etc.) while backing up. The picture I am sending is taken from head height like I was looking at the mirror, which shows what I see every time I put the vehicle in reverse.
