VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR
WHILE CHANGING LANES TO PASS A STOPPED BOX VAN ON THE RIGHT, I NICKED THE REAR CORNER OF THE BOX VAN WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR HOUSING. ALTHOUGH THE HOUSING FOLDED FORWARD AS IT IS DESIGNED TO DO, THE MIRROR "POPPED" OUT, FELL TO THE ROADWAY AND BROKE. THIS LEFT ME WITHOUT A DRIVER'S SIDE MIRROR, POSING AN OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. THE REPAIR, WHICH I AM PERFORMING MYSELF, IS NOT YET COMPLETE DUE TO PARTS DELAYS. NOTE: THE DATE OF THE INCIDENT AND MILEAGE ARE APPROXIMATE. *AK

SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST
PROBLEMS WITH POWER DRIVER SEAT. I SET THE RECLINE POSITION IN THE FURTHEST UPRIGHT POSITION OUT OF PERSONAL PREFERENCE. EVERY TIME I GET IN THE CAR I HAVE TO INCLINE TO SEAT TO ITS MOST UPRIGHT BECAUSE THE SEAT ALWAYS HAS RECLINED TO SOME DEGREE. THE DEGREE THE SEAT RECLINES VARIES EVERY DAY. OCASSIONALLY WHEN I EXIT MY VEHICLE, THE SEAT WILL AUTOMATICALLY RECLINE ALL THE WAY DOWN WHEN I HAVE NOT EVEN TOUCHED THE POWER SEAT CONTROLS. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING NUISANCE AND MY DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. PROBLEM IS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS HARD TO DUPLICATE WHILE AT THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT.
