Description of the problem	Over time, the rearview mirror has darkened with black spots and lines making it difficult to see during the day. Lexus is aware of the problem, but will not replace the mirror without a recall. The defect can be seen on rearview mirrors for sale on ebay. I was advised by lexus service that if it doesn't pass safety check inspection to stick on a temporary mirror. They know there is a problem and it is a safety issue. There must be a recall before someone dies. I find myself looking longer into the mirror, taking my eyes off the road, to discern the traffic behind. I took pictures, but on ebay, if you look close, you can see the spotting and lines on the used mirrors for sale. It's not an isolated incident. Especially by the compass in the right hand side there are noticeable parallel diagonal lines. The rest of the mirror is spotty with lines and dark.
