NHTSA complaint #10508596, filed 2013-04, 50 miles“The left driver's side exterior mirror is restricted in its upward movement and will not move high enough to enable safe viewing of the blind side on the left of the car.

NHTSA complaint #10486577, filed 2012-11, 39 miles“Chevrolet tahoe/Suburban and gmc yukon/yukon xl units with the blind zone system in the driver's mirror do not properly adjust.
