| I have just purchased a 2004 k2500 chev. suburban with the electric camper mirror option. i have driven it two weeks and discovered that the passenger (convex) mirror has a huge blind spot that hides all cars and up to medium size trucks. it is dangerous. the dealer has inspected the truck and confirmed the problem. the service manager has contacted chevrolet and they say there is no fix. i contacted chevrolet and they confirmed there is not fix and also confirmed that the service mananger has recommended that this be corrected. chevrolet's position is that they are going to do nothing else. *ak | |||

| Heard rattle and a wind noise as if a door or window was partially open. rear liftgate glass passenger side hinge partially separated from window glass, allowing the strut which lifts the window up normally to push the top edge of the window up about an inch. what makes this dangerous is that if at highway speed, the wind could have easily caught the lifted glass edge and stress it enough to shatter and injure someone or damage a following vehicle. *tr | |||
