VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES
INSIDE REARVIEW MIRROR NEEDS TO BE READJUSTED DAILY. -- FIRST COMPLAINING TO DEALER WAS 1-24-13, 2665 MILES. DEALER ORDERED MIRROR AND REPLACED ON 1-31-13. NEW MIRROR HAD SAME PROBLEM. SECOND COMPLAINING 2-26-13, 3799 MILES. CHRYSLER RESPONSE: KNOWN ISSUE BY CHRYSLER -- "REARVIEW MIRROR LOSES ADJUSTMENT AFTER A FEW DAYS. INSPECTED MIRROR. CHECKED FOR APPLICABLE TSB'S. TECH TIPS AND STAR ONLINE CASES. CHRYSLER RESPONDED TO REQUESTS FOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE BUT OFFERED NO SOLUTION AT THIS TIME. SUGGESTING THAT HARSH/ROUGH ROAD CONDITIONS MAY AFFECT THE MIRROR'S ABILITY TO RETAIN ITS ADJUSTMENT. THIS IS CONSIDERED A NORMAL CONDITION AND NO ATTEMPT TO REPAIR IT SHOULD BE MADE." I INFORMED THE LOCAL DEALER THAT WAS AN UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE. THIRD COMPLAINT 5-16-13, 8974 MILES. DEALER RESPONSE: "INSPECTED MIRROR FOR DEFECTS. ROAD TESTED. NO PROBLEMS FOUND. NO UPDATED PARTS AVAILABLE." INSIDE REARVIEW MIRROR PROVIDES VISIBILITY THAT THE OUTSIDE MIRRORS DO NOT, PARTICULARLY IN REDUCED VISIBILITY WHEN OUTSIDE MIRRORS ARE FOGGED, FROSTY, OR ICY. MADE A 2,775 MILE TRIP FROM MARYLAND TO THE MICHIGAN UPPER PENINSULA AND MIRROR HAD TO BE ADJUSTED A FEW TIMES DAILY ON THE DRIVE UP AND BACK. MADE A 2,050 MILE TRIP FROM MARYLAND TO FLORIDA AND MIRROR HAD TO BE ADJUSTED A FEW TIMES DAILY ON THE DRIVE DOWN AND BACK. THIS ISSUE BECOMES A HAZARD WHEN THE DRIVER FINALLY REALIZES THEY ARE MOVING THEIR HEAD TO GET A SAFE VIEW IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR. REARVIEW MIRRORS ARE A BASIC SAFETY FEATURE OF ALL MOTOR VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. THEY NEED TO BE RELIABLE. A DRIVER NOT REALIZING THIS MIRROR IS OUT OF ADJUSTMENT UNTIL HAVING TO CRANE THEIR HEAD TO GET A SAFE VIEW IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR IS QUITE DISTRACTING. DRIVER DISTRACTIONS WHILE DRIVING AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. A VEHICLE TRAVELING 70 MPH IS GOING 102+ FEET PER SECOND - ANY DISTRACTION IS HAZARDOUS. *TR

THE NEW RAM TRUCKS USE A DIAL LIKE SHIFTER THAT CHRYSLER IS CALLING THE "ROTARY SHIFTER" IN WHICH THE DRIVER USES TO SELECT THE TRANSMISSION POSITION FROM PARK OR DRIVE. THE SYSTEM IS CAUSING SAFETY ISSUES IN CONFUSING DRIVERS THINKING THAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, VAN SPEED CONTROL, OR EVEN THINKING THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK WHEN ACTUALLY IN DRIVE. WITH OUR INCIDENT THE DRIVER THOUGHT THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK HOWEVER IT WAS IN DRIVE. THE DRIVER STARTED TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT STARTED MOVING FORWARD CAUSING A COLLISION TO ANOTHER VEHICLE WITHIN OUR GARAGE LODGING THE DRIVERS HEAD IN THE TOP PORTION OF THE DOOR AND LEG IN THE LOWER CAUSING INJURY NOT TO MENTION DAMAGE TO EACH VEHICLE INVOLVED. THE DAMAGE COMBINED TO FOR BOTH VEHICLES IS WELL OVER $2,000 FOR A MINOR COLLISION AND ALSO TWO SEPARATE COLLISION CLAIMS ON OUR AUTO POLICY. CHRYSLER IS CALLING IT A DIVER ERROR AFTER REPORTING IT TO THEM UNDER CLAIM #24280455. WE FEEL AND AFTER TALKING WITH OTHERS IN THE PUBLIC IN JUST THIS SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS OTHERS IN OUR AREA ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE HOWEVER NO ONE WAS INJURED OR IN A COLLISION FROM OTHERS THAT WE HAVE TALKED WITH THUS FAR. *TR
