Reported at 84,000 miles, September 2007

Visibility:rearview mirrors/devices:interior I currently own a 2006 lexus is250. About a year ago, I noticed several splotches on the rearview mirror. Initially there were only a few, but the splotches increased to the point that it is now impossible to use the rearview mirror which interferes with rear visibility and normal driving conditions. This situation can increase the possibility of an accident since it becomes impossible to see anything thru the rearview mirror.
