The consumer stated that while driving the exterior driver side mirror flew off onto the highway. The consumer did not notice if the mirror was loose before he entered the vehicle.

There was no indication that the mirror had been hit prior to this incident. There was very little glue where the mirror had previously been attached. The vehicle had not been inspected to determine why the mirror had come off. The manufacturer had not been contacted. (12/07/05).
