| Description of the problem | The bulky side mirrors on the toyota highlander block the driver's view of oncoming traffic when making a left hand turn. I have on at least three occasions barely missed a collision because of visibility issues related to the bulky side window on the driver's side. My elderly aunt driving a 2017 toyota highlander was recently involved in a serious collision because of visibility issues related to the bulky side mirror, i will let her file her own complaint |
