1 Interior Rearview Mirror problem

Failure Date: 06/25/2006

I recently contact the wisconsin dept. Of consumer protection in regard to my 2006 chevy Trailblazer. When I purchased the vehicle I did not notice this, now obvious, engineering defect. I am @ 6'2" tall. Several months after the purchase of the 2006 Trailblazer I was almost in a near collision. I simply did not see a car at a stop sign on my right because the rearview mirror had completely blocked my vision of the vehicle before me. I then tried to adjust my seat to bring me down lower so that I could have a full panoramic view of the front windshield. The seat would not adjust to accommodate a full panoramic view of the front windshield. I have had other close calls due to this condition. I finally decided to contact the wisconsin dept. Of consumer protection whose intervention precipitated a representative from gm to contact me. This representative has been telling me that there have been no complaints or accidents attributed to this sort of condition. This representative also stated that the 2006 Trailblazer meets all NHTSA standards. This is my question to the NHTSA. Does the NHTSA allow a vehicle to be mass produced and disseminated on all of the us roads and highways that does not allow the drivers (over 6-foot tall) to have a full panoramic view of the traffic through the front windshield? I would appreciate a response to this communiqu㉠as well as copies of all records and all other data pertaining to the 2006 Trailblazer.
