Tundra

  • 101,809 miles
The inside rear view mirror in my 2001toyota Tundra is an electro chromic self-dimming mirror that has no manual backup. The mirror contained a fluid which leaked out causing the self-dimming mirror to fail to provide dimming against rear approaching headlights resulting in the driver to either be blinded or to have to turn the mirror away which greatly eliminates rear view capability in the interior. There are many documented cases of these mirrors failing in various makes and models as a result of usually from the internal fluid leaking. I understand that the oem mirror maker, steve chenlo, from magna donnelly (his direct line is 616-786-7495), now refuses to supply replacement mirrors. A few years ago, I have documentation that magna donnelly was replacing these mirrors for free but stopped for unknown reasons.
