Consumer Description

FIRST NOTICED PROBLEM WHEN MERGING ONTO INTERSTATE. THE DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR WAS POINTING DOWN SO I ADJUSTED IT WHILE ACCELERATING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. ONCE THE MIRROR WAS IN PLACE I SWITCHED THE MIRROR SELECTOR SWITCH TO THE CENTER NEUTRAL POSITION. THE MIRROR IMMEDIATELY STARTED MOVING ON ITS OWN AND ENDED UP POINTING TOWARD THE SKY. I HAD A NEAR MISS WITH A SMALL CAR IN MY BLIND SPOT. EVEN BEING FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL MORE NEAR MISSES. THE DEALERSHIP SIMPLY DISCONNECTS THE BATTERY FOR A FEW MINUTES AND SENDS ME ON MY WAY. THIS FIXES THE PROBLEM FOR A FEW HOURS BUT IT ALWAYS COMES BACK. BOTH SIDE MIRRORS ARE DOING THE SAME THING BUT THE DRIVERS SIDE IS MORE AFFECTED. *TR
