The carS side mirrors are memory side mirrors are supposed to automatically adjust to the driverS preset positions. When the car is put into drive, these mirrors adjust themselves to a random position, thus rendering them unless. They must be manually adjust for visibility and this process must be repeated every time the car is put into drive. The car has been in for service twice, with no successful improvement or correction to solve the problem. GM now refuses to attempt any additional remedies.

2002 Oldsmobile Bravada. The mirrors are adjustable to suit individual drivers. This occurs automatically depending on whether key #1 is used or key #2. the problem is the mirrors do not return to the set positions. This is extremely dangerous when entering high speed traffic from an on ramp. Incident date is daily. I did not fill in the date below as there is no "daily" choice.

Both remote mirrors will not hold their memory. I have had my vehicle into service for this problem four times and the problem still exist. The mirrors move when the key is inserted into the ignition before starting the car. Also, both mirrors will not hold their position after being programed in either the normal driving mode or the "reverse-backing up" (curb view assist) mode. I have to manually move my mirrors each time I get into my car to drive, even if only leaving it for a few moments. I have had one minor accident due to the problem because of the mirrors moving. Please help. Thank you.

While driving the left front tire would make a loud noise, thus distracting the consumer. The dealer was been notified. Ph the right front tire had a high whistle. The dealer was unable to fix, stating that this happens after the vehicle reaches 20K miles, and greased the axle(s). The light underhood was inoperative. The dealer replaced the underhood light, lamp assembly, (stop), tail, and turn signal light underhood. The outside mirrors would not stay in place. The dealer replaced both modules per bulletin 02-08-64-027/both side mirror actuators. Scc
