Wide angle mirror on trailer toe does not provide sufficient view from rear of driver's seat.
1999 Ford F-250 visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 22 of 22, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Side mirrors used for towing, extend too far out when vehicle not towing. Can not pull mirrors in or shift to different position in order for mirrors not be hit. Another vehicle had hit side mirrors. They had shattered glass onto driver's side in the process.
No matter how consumer adjusts the mirrors there is still a blind spot.
When using the defroster, the unit isn't working, causing the windshield to be covered with 2/3 frost. Dealer can't determine the cause.
Unable to use vehicle for intended purpose of pulling a travel trailer. Don't feel safe pulling a trailer when wide angle mirrors are "non-adjustable". It's ridiculous to have non-adjustable mirrors on a vehicle! Dealer informs it's a design item; not warranty.
Defective blind spot mirror, on the larger extended truck mirror
Mfg. Knows the mirrors are unsafe, makes safe passing or lane impossible.
The left and right convex mirrors that are standard on this truck are not adjustable. The left mirror looks at the left rear tire. The right mirror is a bit better. It is difficult, if not impossible to use these mirrors safely when passing, or being passed when I am towing my 5th wheel travel trailer.
The towing mirror poses a safety hazard. Cannot see back of trailer. Mirrors are in fixed (stationary) position.
My ford f250 is equipped with a towing package to tow a fifth wheel trailer. The towing mirror is my complaint. There is a large mirror on top and a smaller parabolic mirror on the bottom of the mirror frame. The upper mirror is adjustable, but the parabolic mirror is not adjustable and you cannot see anything out of it except for the rear tires of the pickup and the ground. If I were about 5 feet tall it would work great, but I am 6'1'' and cannot see anything out of it that will help me see the trailer or the traffic behind me. I have contacted my dealer, the ford dealers in tucson, az and the ford motor company and have gotten no satisfactory answer. The mirror needs to be adjustable for persons of different heights. Is there anything I can do at this time to remedy this situation.
Rear view mirror design extends too long, resulting in oncoming truck to hit the mirror on the driver's side shattering the mirror and cracking the housing.
Mirrors are designed in a fixed position, can't be adjusted. Qcaw
