The driver side mirror can vibrate while driving, and it gets worse above 35 mph. The shaking blurs the reflected image of nearby vehicles and distracts the driver. A dealer technician confirmed the vibration and replaced the mirror, but the new one still shook. Only 2 complaints are on file, and one of them gives no detail beyond an attached document. Nothing reported points to a crash, but a blurred mirror makes lane changes harder to judge.
