Help with power mirror
#18
Could we know how many miles/years on your car before the mirrors went out?
I like the tilt feature and think its great help to keep my rims safe. As long as it goes out before 5 yr and 50K, I am happy. Then after warranty runs out, I stop using the tilt.

I got both mine changed not too long ago as well, which was covered under extended warranty. At first the problem was intermittent on the driver's side and then the same with the passenger's side. Eventually they both stopped working. Now both my mirrors tilt down when I reverse.

I am having this same problem now..... I don't understand how or why it manually can be corrected but switching from Reverse to Drive the mirrors never return to the correct location. I guess I am pushing the mirror button long enough for the gears to catch? This becomes very annoying as I reverse out my driveway daily.

from what I understand all the gears inside the mirrors are plastic. It will wear out I'm sure lexus know that. But it's almost a sure thing that you can't wear it out within the warranty period.

Is it a fact that the gears that are at fault?
What about the motor that turns the gears?
Or the shaft the gears and motor are attached to?
I'd be more inclined to lean towards an electric motor and/or shaft issue - especially if it tilts down in reverse, but doesn't return to its previous position when taken out of reverse.

I have the same issue super annoying...This was as close as I got to those gears. Maybe I can take that spare apart.

they might get worn down.
my old camry had an antenna auto roll up/down...that gear got worn so bad it can't roll up. i couldn't believe it was made out of plastic. but than i couldn't believe it worked more than 3 years.
