Cavalier 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • 200 miles
Driver's side mirror vibrates constantly. Cannot see out of it, especially at speeds greater than 45 mph. Took to dealer one week after purchase and dealer replaced mirror. Still vibrates!! took it back to dealer but was told "vehicle is operating as designed." Test drove 6 other new Cavaliers in the lot with a sales rep, they all did the same thing. Cannot use mirror at all, this is definetely not safe!!
