1995 Dodge Dakota Visibility Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the visibility system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Visibility reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE CONSUMER HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH CONVEX MIRRORS. MIRRORS ARE HARD TOO USE BECAUSE THEY MAKE OBJECTS SEEM CLOSER THAN WHAT THEY APPEAR, AND THEY CREATE TOO MANY BLIND SPOTS BECAUSE THEY ARE TOO SMALL. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED. *AK
