Noticed something on passenger mirror auto tilt

I saw a post a while ago, and could not find it to see if someone already replied or flamed.

FYI...The auto tilt feature of the passenger mirror when in Reverse does not work if the side mirror control switch is not in the neutral position. I am sure this is in the manual, I just noticed it this morning.

1 more thing. My 03 has 3600 miles and every day when I am on the highway it feels like the car downshifts at about 60 mph then it is fine, not drastically like has been described in other posts, but you can feel it. I saw that my car was not included in the extended warranty group on the ownerlink website. Does anyone think this should be a concern for me, or is it normal?

Yep, the mirror thing is in the manual.


Hard to say what's going on with your tranny... Doesn't sound like an issue... If it's repeatable, just take it over to your dealer and show them...

Tranny question sounds like the torque convertor locking and unlocking which would sound like a downshift. The RPMs probably fluctuate about 500 RPMs when that happens too. It's totally normal....
