Description of the problem | No incident has occurred, yet. This is a warning to prevent accidents. Honda has moved the position of the driver's side side-view mirror from what it was on my previous 2000 year model. The current position makes it very difficult to see traffic approaching the driver side of the car, even when the mirror is adjusted as far to the side as possible. I think it is because the mirror has moved too close to the driver, rather than closer to the front of the car. I'm guessing they did this since they made the driver side window two pieces instead of one (they added a small triangle shaped window at the front of the window). This is an accident waiting to happen. |
