When driving up to a drive-up atm machine, my wife folded the passenger side-view mirror toward her so it would not hit a post. After completing her transaction, she unfolded the mirror to it's regular position, and it broke. The mirror did not fall off, but had to be tied on to the arm, so it wouldn't sit crooked.

My complaint is on my 2002 Chevy Avalanche. The drivers side external mirror has been slowly leaking the fluid that is inside of it and now the mirror is so discolored by the problem that it is unusable. The replacement mirror is about $320. The Chevy dealership will not replace it as a defect but want me to pay for it. No damage was the cause of this failure. This truck has never been in any type of accident.

The drivers outside mirror is showing double images. Auto-dimming mirror has been replaced by dealer 3 times and still has same problem. Mirror does not show double images if replaced with standard mirror. Mirror was not doing this when purchased new in 8/02.
