Read full complaint

THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR CHANGES POSITION, POINTING DOWN TO THE GROUND, ERRATICALLY, USUALLY WHEN ENTERING OR LEAVING THE CAR, OR INSERTING THE KEY, EVEN THOUGH I AM ALWAYS USING DRIVER #1 KEY. I CAN RESET IT, USE THE MEMORY BUTTON TO SAVE THE POSITION. IT MAY WORK FOR SEVERAL STOPS DURING A SHOPPING TRIP, THEN CHANGE AGAIN ON IT'S OWN. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE WHEN I WANT TO CHANGE LANES I LOOK AT THE MIRROR AND IT IS POINTED TO THE GROUND. THE DEALER WHERE I ALWAYS TAKE MY CAR FOR SERVICE, HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM.

Official recalls

14V355000 · Electrical System:ignition

Jun 23, 2014

This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne, 2000-2005 Cadillac DeVille, 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS, 2006-2014 Chevrolet Impala, and 2006-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the weight on the key ring and road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, a key knocked out of the run position will cause loss of engine power, power steering, and power braking, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 23, 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-521-7300 (Buick), 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), and 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet). GM's number for this recall is 14299.
