1 Exterior Rearview Mirror problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2000

Driver's outside mirror is wavy and distorted. Makes you somewhat dizzy to look at it. Replaced twice by dealer with exact same results. Dealer finally told me that all 4runner mirrors were coming that way. When asked the solution, he actually told me "don't look at it". I told him I considered it a safety hazard.

2 Exterior Rearview Mirror problem

Failure Date: 03/22/2000

Original driver's door rear view mirror was bad, image was distorted, eyes couldn't focus. The dealer has replaced the mirror and/or entire assembly 3 times, still not fixed. I'm working on getting it replaced again. . . .

3 Exterior Rearview Mirror problem

Failure Date: 01/31/2000

Driver's side rear view mirror glass is warped. All other vehicles on lot had same problem. Bbs feedback indicates other owners are experiencing same problem. Toyota should be forced to order a recall. People who have asked and got replacement mirrors/glass have found same problem (warpage) exists on replacement mirrors. Image in mirror is distorted and is a nuisance if not also a potential safety hazard. Problem is unique to driver's side mirror- passenger side mirror is fine.

4 Exterior Rearview Mirror problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2000

Driver's side mirror is warped. Replacement was ordered and it was warped as well.

5 Exterior Rearview Mirror problem

Failure Date: 12/01/1999

Shortly after I purchased my new vehicle, I noticed the driver's side rear-view mirror was warped. I went to a local dealer and it was replaced as a warranty item, but the replacement was worse than the original. A new mirror was ordered, and it was warped just as badly as the one that was installed (the third was never installed). The dealer said Toyota was contacted, and now refuses to take anymore action to replace the mirror, or tell me in writing what is being done to correct the situation.

Failure Date: 11/01/1999

Driver's side rear view mirror warped causing distraction. Replaced 3 times, still warped. Called Toyota canada, says it's a known problem but no fix exists. Internet shows problem is widespread.
