Description of the problem	First off, i have only had this car for approximately 1 week and spent considerable time driving in a large metropolitan area as well as on the interstate with the vehicle in this first week (1200 miles in total). I have adjusted the side mirrors as wide as they are capable of adjusting and still, an enormous blind spot remains for the driver that is both dangerous to myself and drivers around me. On two occasions this week, one (today) that was the worst yet, i was changing lanes and after checking the side mirrors and seeing absolutely nothing, i came extremely close to hitting a sedan that was driving in my blind spot. Fortunately, the other driver was paying attention and able to swerve away from my vehicle to avoid being hit. This particular vehicle is the cargo version with a bulkhead installed which renders the rearview mirror useless and no ability to look over your should out a rear window to check for vehicles. I have just ordered extra clip on mirrors from amazon to make the vehicle at least operational but in my opinion being forced to alter something such as side mirrors to make the vehicle reasonably safe to operate is unacceptable from any manufacturer, let alone mercedes-benz who claims such a high standard of safety on their vehicles. After doing a little more investigation, this is clearly a known issue experienced by a lot of people who operate this vehicle (i. E. Http://www. Metrisforum. Com/forum/385-appearance-body/1610-mirrors. Html). Any quick internet search will reveal that this is a major concern and complaint of those who own the mercedes metris.
