They state to me that I have to wait till I get a letter in mail saying that the parts are in and I can bring my car in for repair. It has been a year! Really, I could have died by now because of this recall and no one seems to care about this... …”

NHTSA complaint #10954110, filed 2017-02, 10,000 miles

Other or unknown: “Just one day after driving this new vehicle home I got on the highway and found the driver's side view mirror tilted at any angle so far I couldn't see any car on the highway with it.. The electrical controls to work the mirror did not have range enough to correct it owing to the fact the entire mirror body had left what I am told is its snap in position. I had never touched it and it had no reason to leave its proper position. And it was in its proper position the day I drove it home. The mirror had tilted itself so far I could see my own reflection it it! …”
