Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The passenger mirror will move out of position on its own without touching any controls. This will also occur when the car is turned off. After reviewing various internet postings other Bmw owners have experienced the same problem. This is a serious safety issue as it can adversely impact the driver's rear vision.”
