Experiencing problem with rearview mirror; whenever mirror is adjusted from day to night and returned back to day, the whole mirror has to be readjusted. Dealer notified, and replaced mirror on two occasions, and problem still occurs. This can lead to a vehicle accident due to adjusting mirror. Asking NHTSA to look into this matter.
