| Description of the problem | The driver's side mirror and windshield column create an 18 inch blind spot. And, the mirror is so tall it is almost impossible for a 5'6" driver to see over it. There is no seat height adjustment. The blind spot makes it very unsafe to make left turns. I have had a few close calls and last week it caused a minor fender bender. I was turning left on a residential street in pagosa springs, co. Because of the blind spot, i did not see the car coming up to a stop sign. The jeep grand cherokee mirror design is dangerous. |
