Description of the problem | Nothing has happened yet... But a few very close calls.... The equipment that the rear view mirror is attached to is huge and the mirror is such that is blocks a major part of the view to the right... Esp when i am on a curvy road... It literally blocks anything in that area... Anyone on a sidewalk etc etc.... When i need to look to the right i have to bend down or lean over... I am going to hit or kill someone.... I have tried calling ford.... But have been told they have no safety dept... I am spoken to people in every country who do not know how to get me to the right dept... I have left my phone number etc... I also asked if the mirror can be swapped out for a smaller one.... I have had to resort to putting the mirror up and down... Vs the way it is sold..... Also, this car was mad with no cover for the cargo area.... I have talked to many people about this.. Apparently they are waiting for quotes from manufacturers.... I often put my car on transporters... I move artwork and antiques... I would never have bought a car with no cargo cover..... I am often in s fl... Cars are broken into often... Yet, at the car show there was on on display... Tricking the public.... They are hiding from these issues... Please help me get answers... Have leased a ford over 8 years... Never again... And i want people to know these issues so they can rethink the purchase... Safety should come first....... I am not including pics now... Just sit in any 2020 escape..... |
