4 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2010

The front window rear view mirror coating has come off from the inside of the mirror and has very very poor reflective qualities. With approx. 60% - 70% of the reflective mirror coating gone it makes it almost impossible to see what's behind you using this mirror and could definitely contribute or cause a accident. The dealer said this happens to this make and model but did not say they would replace it and said the approx. Cost for this mirror (I cant remember the exact cost) is around $800 or more dollars (expensive because of the electronics that are inside the rear view mirror). Please let me know if there has been more complaints about this car part or what can be done to have the dealer replace the mirror at no cost. Thanks.
