“There is a serious safety problem with my 2001 Gmc savanna. The outside mirrors vibrate so badly that I have a problem during the day seeing the correct images. At night the problem is worse. I am constantly readjusted the mirrors to try to avoid headlight flash . I have had Gmc replace the mirrors. When I asked for a second replacement, they said that this was common and that I would just have to live with it. I drive this van approximately 350 highway miles a week. Because my field of view is so poor due to this defect, I feel that my safety has been seriously compromised.”
