problem #1

ML320 4WD

  • miles
I purchased a Mercedes sport-utility vehicle in 1998 (ML320). The driver-side, side-view mirror is a "major-league" driving hazard. The mirror does not adjust sufficiently, leaving a huge blind spot. Every car I have ever owned allowed the mirrors to be adjusted so that a car passing on the drivers side could be tracked from the rear-view mirror, to the side mirror, to the drivers peripheral vision. With the ML320 a passing car gets lost in the transition between the side-view mirror and the driver's peripheral vision. The mirror cannot be adjusted far enough outward to cover this blind spot. This problem is excascerbated by the position of the wide roof-support column.
