Wiper arm broke, leaving me in a downpour with no wipers. I was towed to service, but no dealer in three states had the part. All dealers and the regional office said that the part had been on backorder and was in demand, leading us to believe that the manufacturer was aware that there was a problem and was not acting to fix it. Regional parts supervisor confirmed this. After a day's search, we found a used part (at higher cost) 100 miles away.

Passenger side mirror is the cheap model that does not give the correct distance of the vehicle on that side. It is not normal for a person to look at the driver side mirror (which is true) the inside mirror (which is true) and then your eyes have to change focus because passenger side mirror is like looking through a microscope. This is not a normal demand on your eyes and very dangerous at the freeway hight speeds because of desecptive distance perceived after looking through left side or inside mirror. I am asking for a recall of all these cheap mirrors and have almost had accidents because of the deception of these mirrors. At the cost of the vehicles these days, they should not be allowed to put this cheap mirror at a place that is very key to today's drivers safety.
