| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Side mirrors break very easily, and spray a type of antifreeze on the side of the vehicle. this antifreeze stains/corrodes the paint permanently, requiring a paint job. on a minivan, this costs upwards of $1500-2000, as the entire side of the van was splattered. i simply bumped mirrors at a very low speed on a narrow street, the glass shattered, and the antifreeze sprayed the car. the main housing of the mirror was not damaged, illustrating that this was in fact a very minor and small impact. it's bad enough that it caused the glass in the mirror to break, but to cause a $2000 repair is very bad. dealership reported others have had this issue as well. cars are judged in part by how expensive they are to repair in a minor collision. this wasn't even a true collision! *nm |
