Sticking electric wing mirrors.

[Bunkermagnet]

Ah, but I don't randomly go into limp mode in this car. That is progress

Buy a VW , you will then
Neither of my Mazda's have done that

Anyone else think door mirrors are vastly over-engineered these days...

I hope they never do for you. The scary thing was that limp mode was not a speed restriction of 40-50mph, it was 5mph. When you are doing 60mph and then the car decides to drop to 5mph, that is not fun . All makes can have problems, I just got unlucky with my experience (not helped by the inability to pinpoint what the issue precisely was)

Probably, but most people still don't have them set right or even use them.

I think that is more the issue.
TBH I wouldn't expect to see it happen on our Mazda's anyway, as they are both petrol.
The diesel VW Transporter on the other hand...

All cars are.

Someone just needs to make a simple car with basic features .
ABS ,power steering Bluetooth and no infotainment system! winding windows
Would help with insurance as well.

That’s dangerous.
Happened to me with ACC.

My VW has dipping mirrors for reversing
But it never goes back to standard position there a pain.
I reckon I don’t use 80% of the tech in my car.

My daughters Seat Atteca has that (my VW Transporter only has electric mirrors). Its a feature she can turn on or off and is a feature I hate. To me, the nearside mirror shouldn't need to be adjusted to reverse and park once set. But then I have driven vans for the last40 yrs and having your mirrors adjusted correctly is essential.

They must have a memory function that needs setting first

My Kia returns to correct level after or the wife's level, we have to save the settings first tho.

We have a button 1 and 2 for seat settings that does mirror levels aswell

The seat we used to have you could save them to each key or the seat memory

I’ve got levers on the seats for that .

Certainly a lot less to go wrong.
