Exterior Rearview Mirror problems of the 2001 Mazda Tribute

Three problems related to exterior rearview mirror have been reported for the 2001 Mazda Tribute.

car   Exterior Rearview Mirror problem 1
Failure Date: 08/15/2002

Outside mirror on driver side will vibrate at speeds over 50 on the highways. In bad weather or at night it is hard to tell who and what is coming up the side of the car. This is dangerous condition as it is. Mazda replaced the mirror once and it is still just as bad.

car   Exterior Rearview Mirror problem 2
Failure Date: 07/15/2002

The exterior driver side mirror vibrates to the point that the reflection is blurry and distorted at speeds of 50 mph or higher. The mirror has been replaced by the dealership but I still have the same problem. This condition is dangerious in bad weather and needs to be fixed. The dealership has offered no help in fixing this problem nor has support in California.

car   Exterior Rearview Mirror problem 3
Failure Date: 02/21/2001

The driver's side mirror vibrates at speeds of 30 mph and above. The vibration is excessive enough on the freeway that images reflected are completely distorted and blurry which disallows proper visualization of traffic and other vehicles. The vibration is also so bothersome that I refrain from looking in the mirror anymore which I view to be a serious safety issue. According to the dealership and car manufacturer, the problem is a characteristic of the vehicle, including all models of Mazda Tributes, that cannot be corrected. I find that to be unacceaptable!.
