VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR
I OWN A 1997 DODGE RAM TRUCK AND THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS OUTSIDE MIRROR WILL NOT HOLD INTO POSITION (THEY SWING IN TOWARDS THE DOOR GLASS WHILE DRIVING). I CONTACTED THE DODGE DEALER IN MY AREA AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THERE IS A CONCERN WITH THE MIRRORS, IN FACT THEY TOLD ME THAT DODGE REDESIGNED THE MIRRORS FOR THAT REASON. THE REPLACEMENT MIRRORS ARE THE OLD DESIGN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IN A MATTER OF TIME THE NEW ONES WILL DO THE SAME THING. BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY MATTER I WOULD HOPE THAT THE MIRRORS COULD BE RETROFIT TO THE NEW STYLE OR A PERMANENT FIX BE MADE.*AK
