I own a new 2004 Dodge Durango limited. It has a dealer activated feature that tilts the outside rear view mirrors downward for greater visability when in reverse. I had that feature activated and found that the mirrors did not tilt downward sufficiently for increased visibility as described in the owners manual. After activating the feature on another Durango, the dealer's sales and service personnel all agreed that it did not work as described and was ineffective. The dealer's service manager promised to initiate and forward a defective engineering report to Dodge.

I have noticed a problem with Dodge Durango and full-sized Dodge pickups. The size and placement of the exterior rear-view mirrors creates a huge blind spot for smaller drivers! taller men who would typically chose this vehicle may not realize that their smaller spouse or kids would not be able to see. The width of the door frame also compounds the problem. We just investigated another right-angle crash with this problem. The female driver, about my height (5'4"), did not see the approaching vehicle and pulled into its path. I know of at least 2 others recently. When my husband and I purchased a pickup 4 years ago, I vetoed his choice of the Dodge because of the visibility problem. A CO-worker has noted the problem in her husband's truck. We do not have this problem on our GMC pickup, as the mirrors are placed lower. Dodge has them directly in the sight line, especially when checking traffic to the right. While this may not be a recall issue, study and publicity about this issue should be done soon. Thanks.

Sideview mirrors are oversized and create a blind spot for smaller drivers. Three times my wife came very close to accidents due to this blindspot. Mfr refuse to replace or recognize there is a problem.

Side view mirror base is too large to see through, and is blocking the view when trying to makes turns. Dealer had been contacted for this situation. The over sized out side mirror is a design flaw and the driver is experiencing difficulty in making left turns.

Driver's side outside mirror & support beam causes a blind spot whenever making a left hand turn. The vehicle had incurred an accident due to location of beam & mirror & needs to be relocated.

Both sideview mirrors obstructed the consumer's view when she attempted to make a turn, the dealership stated the mirrors were heated and could not be removed. Ts.

When the radio is on the exterior rearview mirrors vibrate excessively, making it hard to view cars appraoching from the rear. Dealer replaced the mirrors and problem still exists.

Driver side mirror does not show objects while turning. Yh.

Passenger's side rear view mirrors are large in size and height. However, it's extremely hard to determine traffic due to blind spot. Also, these vehicles are equipped with a tow package. Please give any further details.
