About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
When turning left the visibility is very poor for a 5' 1" driver. The double "a" pillar and large side view mirror block the driver's visibility and caused an accident. Several other people also complained about the visibility almost causing accidents on a Leaf blog website. The accident happened when turning left at a busy intersection and an old lady fell because the Leaf driver did not see the pedestrian soon enough due to poor visibility on a clear day around noon. The Leaf had stopped waiting for 3 vehicles to pass before making the left turn at a slow speed but the large double "a" pillar and large side mirror blocked the driver's view.
