| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Inside rearview automatic day/night mirror in my 1996 continental has stopped dimming. there is a spot approximately in the upper right middle of the mirror that does dim as it should. as such, when a car comes up from behind (especially when they have brights on), it blinds me and decreases my "night vision." not only is this an annoyance, but it is also a safety issue. i have contacted the dealership and they said there is not a tsb or warranty on it. it does cost $500.00. i have e-mailed the company that makes the mirror (donnelly corp.) but they have not returned my request for additional information on repair, warranty or replacement. i further understand that this may be a "common" problem with 1996 and 1997 conti.. any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated. thank you.. *ak |
