Exterior Rearview Mirror problem #1

The our side mirror on the driver's side of my 2005 Nissan Frontier crew cab truck cannot be adjusted to eliminate a blind spot. The mirror is electric, and is electric heated, and will not adjust at the angle needed to see cars next to you. This means I must always take my eyes off the road and turn my head to look for cars. My other trucks and cars don't have this problem, so I know that Nissan could correct it with a different mirror motor. I have contacted Nissan about it and gotten back an unsatisfactory form letter.

Defogger problem #2

I noticed at driving speeds of around 45 mph the truck would shake very bad. Also my heater would only blow cold air. When I took the truck in they said the transmission fluid looked like a strawberry milkshake. $6000. 00 later and looking online seeing all the other people that have had the same issues I am trying to figure out why Nissan is not being held responsible?.
