On 3 June, 2006, my daughter, while driving our 2006 Ford pickup, met another vehicle on a narrow country road. The steep dropoff and nature of the road did not allow either driver to completely move over enough and the mirrors of the two trucks bumped. The mirror on the other truck, a Chevrolet, broke away causing no injury to the driver and minimal damage to the vehicle. The mirror on my daughter's 2006 Ford exploded sending shards of glass flying throughout the cab of the truck. My daughter required a trip to the emergency room, stitches, and follow up medical treatment. In addition to the flying glass, the mirror housing separated and one large section struck my daughter in the shoulder before coming to rest in the back seat of the extended cab truck while a smaller section of the housing landed in the truck's bed. Both vehicles were traveling at about 30 mph and were slowing when they met. The Chevrolet mirror detached with no injury and minimal damage. The Ford mirror caused physical injury and over a $1000 in damages to the truck. There is obviously a vast difference in the design of the Ford and chevy mirrors which caused this dangerous situation and harmed the Ford's driver. Pictures, medical records, and a statement were sent to Ford but they refuse to acknowledge any problem with the design and refuse to make any comment on this situation. They have also refused to return the documents and pictures which I have submitted. We own 2005 and 2006 Ford trucks and are now afraid to drive them with the windows open for fear of injury from possible flying glass in the event of an accident.

Exterior mirrors leave blind spot, and unable to make ajustment. Noticed correction made on 2000 f350 models, but not 1999 models. Dealer notified and informed consumer that nothing could be done.

Design of the mirrors (convex) do not allow the consumer to see properly, and is unable to adjust the mirros. An accident could result due to poor visibility or blind spot. Dealer / manufacturer notified, and informed consumer that nothing can be done. Nhtsa needs to look into this matter.

Exterior mirrors are not allowing consumer to see the back end of vehicle when needed. Dealer notified.

Extended driver side outside wide angle mirror does not provide the view the driver needs. Because the mirror is poorly designed, it is not large enough to see vehicles in adjacent lanes during changing lanes.

The consumer bought the camper package when the vehicle was purchased yet the consumer is unable to see around the camper with the rearview mirrors. Nlm.
