| Description of the problem | Dear sir: i recently purchased a brand new 2008 honda crv and am largely happy with it. However, on several occasions i have come dangerously close to having an accident when changing lanes due to what i consider to be an exceptionally large blind spot that is not covered by any of the mirrors. Even turning my head around is not always adequate, and is itself dangerous when driving at highway speeds. |
