I FEEL THERE IS A SAFETY DEFECT IN THE MODEL OF THE 2009 FORD FLEX WITH A DVD SYSTEM. WHEN THE MONITOR IS IN USE THERE'S AN OBSTRUCTION OF VIEW FOR THE DRIVER. IT IS QUITE DIFFICULT TO SEE OUT OF THE REAR VIEW MIRROR WHEN THE MONITOR IS IN USE. I HAVE TRIED ADJUSTING THE DRIVER SEAT AND I CAN NOT FIND A POSITION WHERE THERE IS NOT AN OBSTRUCTION OF VIEW FOR THE DRIVER. *TR
