I was driving my vehicle on our street, which is considered a private road, while preparing to turn around a bend in the road, a 94yr old woman walked in front of my car, was struck, and died. at no time during my turn did i see the woman as she stepped in front of my car. research of the 2014 highlander revealed many owners had difficulty seeing any object or person due to the blind spot of the left side mirror. research at toyota nation forum, revealed all owners had blind spots due to the size and position of the left side mirror. most were related to drivers 5'2" in height, but 6ft drivers also complained about the blind spot of the left side mirror. in fact, i found another driver who hit a pedestrian, but their victim survived.
The safety film on the windshield is not properly sealed. *tr
