The exterior side mirrors have intermittent electrical/memory malfunctions. When locking the vehicle, the side mirrors begin to fold, pause or glitch briefly, and then continue folding. Separately, when the vehicle is shifted into reverse, the right-side mirror tilts downward to assist with backing/parking, but when shifted back to drive or park, the mirror does not reliably return to its original saved position and requires manual readjustment. This is being reported as a safety concern because exterior mirror position affects rearward and side visibility, backing visibility, lane-change awareness, and the driver’s ability to maintain proper mirror alignment. An intermittent mirror control, folding, memory, or tilt malfunction may indicate an electrical, motor, control-module, wiring, switch, or mirror-memory issue. No crash, fire, injury, or fatality occurred. The vehicle/component is available for inspection, and service communications, issue lists, photos/video if available, and related electrical-system records are available.
I purchased my vehicle Jan 3rd 2019 in az. It was transported to NJ via private carrier and delivered on Feb 12th. On April 10th an approx. 8 inch long arching crack appeared in my windshield. I was not hit with a rock or any other debris. In the am the car was fine and several hours later this huge crack appeared. The car had not been moving and was in an area where nothing could have hit the car.
