	This is a design defect. the side mirrors are too large and placed in a location on the window that creates a blind spot and in particular the driver's side there are instances when you can not see a car coming at you from the left, or of you are turning left you cannot see if there is an island. while we have not had an accident, it is a hazard and should be rectified. this has given rise to a number of near accidents and i have tried to get audio to listen to me. *tr
