This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.

Side mirrors move up and down even when not set to adjust when going into reverse. Mirrors are adjusted prior to driving, yet at times move the highest or lowest position resulting in mirrors pointed to sky, or road pavement. This has occurred repeatedly. In addition to the problem with the mirrors, passenger and/or driver side power windows roll down after being rolled up. Several trips to dealership made in which computer was "reset" with no resolution to problem. Mirror issue nearly caused accident when trying to avoid an obstacle while driving on highway.
Catastrophic failure of the sunroof on my 3.35I BMW coupe 2008 model. No known cause. It just exploded and showered the passenger compartment with glass shards.
