This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The inside rear view mirror in my 2001toyota Tundra is an electro chromic self-dimming mirror that has no manual backup. The mirror contained a fluid which leaked out causing the self-dimming mirror to fail to provide dimming against rear approaching headlights resulting in the driver to either be blinded or to have to turn the mirror away which greatly eliminates rear view capability in the interior. There are many documented cases of these mirrors failing in various makes and models as a result of usually from the internal fluid leaking. I understand that the oem mirror maker, steve chenlo, from magna donnelly (his direct line is 616-786-7495), now refuses to supply replacement mirrors. A few years ago, I have documentation that magna donnelly was replacing these mirrors for free but stopped for unknown reasons.
