However, since leaving the dealer tire pressures have been showing up so not sure what problem the dealer had? Have power folding mirrors. Drivers side mirror was very loose and shook excessively when driving. Reset mirrors, and is not loose anymore. However, the mirror still shakes really bad over bumps.
