Power mirrors on 07 are crap!

[sickk23]

I havent had any experience with other manufacturers power fold mirrors, but are they any better / worse?

Far better. My 2015 Grand Cherokees are decent, quieter and smoother. My 2014 Lexus GS 350 they fold every time you lock/unlock and they are seamless. Completely quiet and smooth. But that's something you'd expect from a Lexus.

Its something any of us would expect from a 40k-60k vehicle and todays current tech. But we still get cheap ass parts for some reason......

Chad - Youre talking about a one year and two year old vehicle. Of course they are going to be working just fine. My buddies 08 Avalanche is still working just fine, and he uses it at least twice a day. I'm not doubting theres issues with the gears - Im just curious what other vehicled from 2007+ have power fold that still work as good as new.

And Im sorry, but Lexus quality, give me a break. You do realize 99.9% of all components from all cars come from nearly the same places. Lexus has no better quality than anything else.

I drive a 06 Mercedes S class, and the mirrors are excellent. Smooth as silk, and I use them every time I park.

You sound like a *****. The GC came out in 2010 as a MY2011 so... And if all of the parts do come from the same place like you say, well Lexus sure did choose to use a hella higher quality part from the same company.

^^It won't let me edit my post but fwiw, I didnt say they were working just fine. I said they were quieter and smoother. I have never had an issue with any of my folding mirrors for GM, they're just loud and occasionally pop.

The mirrors on my 07 still work great with regard to the power fold and we use them every time we park or pull into the garage. Just recently my driver mirror stopped tilting the glass down when I put the vehicle in reverse but other than that they work well. They've always been pretty noisy when folding, though.

No ***** here, just stating that comments like that make people sound uninformed about the reality of things.

Every manufacturer has a problem or two here and there. American cars have as good of quality as European or Japanese these days. And I agree- if you look at the country of origin on parts, they all share parts manufacturers. Just don't try working on a German car though. They build them explicitly to not be user friendly when it comes time to repair their over-engineered vehicles. My daughter had a VW and it was the most ridiculously difficult car I've ever worked on, just stupid and complicated.

Whenever we get German or Swedish (Volvo) in the shop we take a vote of who's been a moody ******* over the previous week and make them fix it. They're ass backwards on engineering and most components are far more brittle than any other make.
