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

Issue ID	1314430
Internal NHTSA #	10903192
Manufacurer	Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC - DBA Sprinter
Brand	MERCEDES-BENZ
Model	METRIS
Model Year	2016
File date	01/09/16
Component	VISIBILITY/WIPER
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The side mirrors are flat instead of convex and this, combined with very high headrests, gives one extremely poor rear vision. I can not recall driving any vehicle made after the 1970's that has flat mirrors like this. Changing lanes, even with blind spot warning, is just guesswork and very dangerous. I have not felt so uncomfortable and unsure of what is next to me since i drove cars without any right side mirrors years and years ago. The same van in europe does have convex mirrors that are so much better than those used in us. Contacting manufacturer regarding this has proven useless. This is an issue in all situations but worse in urban driving or heavy traffic where knowing what is around one's vehicle is critically important. This is a terrible and dangerous oversight.
