Pulling out of the Firestone parking lot, looked both ways; nothing coming from the right or the left, began to pull out, and almost hit a guy on a motorcycle. There is a very poorly designed trait in my Pontiac Vibe with the side mirrors blocking your view.... can the mirrors be changed to a smaller (height) mirror? this had actually happened to me twice since I've owned this car.... never buy another one.

The driver side window imploded showering me with glass while driving on the interstate 435 in the Kansas City area. This was unexpected, nearly caused me to lose control of the vehicle on the rain wet roadway while a panel truck was passing me on my left side. I have heard of other incidents of this nature establishing a pattern of failure for this window as well as the passenger side front windows. A retainer notch at the bottom of the glass seems to be a weak point which causes sudden failure of the tempered glass which can result in injury from glass in eyes, down clothing as well as loss of control of the vehicle.
