Consumer Description

THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR VIBRATE WHEN A SPEED OD 35 MPH OR HIGHER IS REACHED. IT CONSTANTLY VIBRATES FROM THAT SPEED ON, AND VIBRATES TO THE POINT THAT IT IS ESSENTIALLY USELESS - YOU CANNOT SEE IN IT. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP (PALMER DODGE) APPROXIMATELY 4 TIMES, AND ALSO TO SOUTH TOWNE DODGE. EACH DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE MIRROR AND RETIGHTENED ALL NUTS, BOLTS, SCREWS, ETC., BUT THE VIBRATION WILL NOT GO AWAY. THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE TOLD US THAT IT OCCURS ON ALL TRUCKS FROM 1994 TO THE PRESENT, AND THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION YET. PLEASE HELP ME BE ABLE TO SEE BEHIND ME WHEN I DRIVE. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.
