Exterior Rearview Mirror Problems of Honda Accord

The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the passenger’s side mirror was started hitting against the vehicle, before the side mirror detached, and fell off onto the highway. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who determined that an impact had caused the failure. The mechanic diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the mirror needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted by the local dealer, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 3,000.

Driving slowly down a residential street during daylight hours and suddenly there was a loud noise and the passenger side side view mirror exploded. There wasn’t an accident of any kind - the car had not come inti contact with anything and there was no other damage except the actual glass part of the mirror was completely gone. There were no scratches or other damage to the rest of the mirror assembly or the car and no evidence that anyone had thrown anything at the car. The car was driven immediately to the Honda dealer and they insisted that there must have been an accident and refused to cover the damage. A brief internet search revealed others with the same make and model had experienced the exact same thing. I strongly believe this is a manufacturing defect and it is a safety issue because the sound of the explosion was startling and there was broken glass flying around and now the car side view mirror is missing.

2014 Honda Accord. Consumer writes in regards to the design and safety of the vehicles expanded view mirror. The consumer stated there was considerable vehicle distortion related to the size and location of vehicles as they appeared in the expanded view driver's mirror, generating a perspective where one vehicle appeared as two vehicles. Also, vehicles traveling in the opposite direction appeared to swerve as their image entered and exited the expanded view driver's mirror. Vehicles in the far left lane appeared less than half their actual size and at times, seemed as if they were right next to his vehicle.

The driver's side mirror is distorted causing the cars to appear further away than they actually are. There is a horizontal line that contributes to the distortion. I have been having a difficult time with this since I purchased the vehicle. It also makes me dizzy/have double vision as I look into the mirror after a few seconds. This distortion caused me to get into an accident where I was changing lanes thinking the vehicle in the lane left to me was further behind me. Both vehicles had extensive damage and the drivers injuries. On several other occasions I have vehicles beeped at me when I am changing lanes because they are closer than they appear in my mirror. I took the car back to Honda for the repairs and the employee was aware of the distortion the mirror causes. In fact, on the way to the dealership I almost had another crash, something I told the Honda representative. As I think back of when I test drove the vehicle before purchase, the salesperson took me on a road where there were no other vehicles passing by us so that I could realize the distortion. I contacted Honda's main customer service number and have been told that Honda designed their mirror that way so that the driver has a larger view of the vehicles in their blind spot. This design is flawed and causes a dangerous distortion making the vehicles appear further away and making the driver think that they have time to change lanes.

Passenger outside mirror exploded while I was driving down the road. If the passenger window had been down it would have hit my daughter in her head. When the incident happened I stopped the car and picked up the mirror, there was no other cars or nothing around that could have hit the mirror, it made a very load noise but no other damage was done other than mirror came flying into in the side window and then hit the ground. All other parts on the mirror are in place and fine, only the center mirror parts fell off the car. I took it back to Honda to tell them the mirror fell out and the service manager left me standing there and didn't come back, he never got my name. I asked the desk boy where he had gone and he paged him and the said that he would call me, he didn't know who I was, my name or who the owner of the car was so how is he going to call me. Brand new, only had the car 2 weeks.
