| The mirror on the right side of the auto has blind spot that does not allow the driver to see cars that are along side just to the bed of the truck. dealer has no solution gm has no solution. these are the trailoring mirrors for when you pull a trailor. if you well notice they corrected the drivers side by adding small mirro within the larger mirror. the potential is fatal if you are pulling a trailor and you are unable to see a car along side your vehicle. it need to be fixed. | |||
