Description of the problem	Both exterior mirrors get out of adjustment while driving or closing doors. It is very dangerous as a lone driver not being able to see out of the right-hand mirror. Also when changing lanes to avoid an accident, discovering the left-hand mirror is out of adjustment. I have had to change lanes blindly. The mirrors have been falling out of adjustment since i purchased the vehicle. They fell out of adjustment when i was doing a test drive. The salesman said they would be tightened, but they have not stayed in place. I am inquiring if there has been a recall notice? I have heard several complaints over the internet about the same problem and no one has come up with a solution. *nm
