Rearview Mirror Problems of Dodge Dakota

The contact owns a 2001 Dodge Dakota. After the vehicle had been parked for four months, the rearview mirror fell from the windshield. The contact noticed a crack that spread all the way down the windshield. She purchased adhesive and replaced the rearview mirror; however, the windshield was still cracked. The current and failure mileages were 101,300.

I had to replace both side mirrors because of the inside support broke off. They broke about a month apart. Left mirror first and then the right side.

Oversized outside mirrors are mounted so high that they create a serious blind spot for shorter drivers. This causes problems rounding corners, at intersections, and at night when the eyelevel mirror reflects following headlights. Possible souutions: lower the mounting position of the mirrors; raise the seating position.

This vehicle was specifically ordered from Dodge as a towing vehicle. The truck came with the factory installed towing package. However, there are no towing mirrors offered as an option. I do not think Dodge should build towing vehicles without providing the availability to purchase such mirrors. I have notified Dodge about the problem and all they say is there are no factory towing mirrors for the Dakota trucks. Yet they continue to offer factory installed towing packages. This policy does not make sense. If they do not offer towing mirrors for this model then they should not offer a towing package. I cannot even locate a towing mirror replacement only the universal strap on ones which do not work well. Cipa offers a slide over towing mirror but not for the Dodge Dakota slt model that I have. Please look into this.
