Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The electric side mirrors on this truck are way too small. Specifically, they are too short. Upon inquiring at the GM dealer, I was informed that they cannot be changed due to the onboard computer will not accept anything but the original. They cannot even be changed to a manual mirror. Upon inquiring at a local truck aftermarket store, I was informed that they have heard this many times before but unfortunately offer no solution aftermarket or otherwise. These mirrors are woefully too small, therefore cannot be adjusted properly and in fact are nearly useless. …”
