2016 Mercedes-Benz METRIS Visibility Wiper Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1310770
Internal NHTSA #	10897409
Manufacurer	Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC - DBA Sprinter
Brand	MERCEDES-BENZ
Model	METRIS
Model Year	2016
File date	20/08/16
Component	VISIBILITY/WIPER
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The passenger side mirror on this vehicle offers very little visibility and creates a huge blind spot. The mirror is flat offers a very narrow field of view. Because this is a cargo van with no window on the side door a convex mirror is necessary to offer a acceptable field of view for safe lane changing. I feel the lack of a convex mirror on the passenger side may lead to several side swipe accidents by owners of this vehicle. I have experienced several incidents of attempting to change lanesome to the right only to find that there is another vehicle in the massive blind spot. Upon researching the european version of this vehicle i discovered that they are equipped with a proper convex mirror. Failure to equip the american version of this vehicle with the same mirror seams like a lack of regard for safety
