The driver side mirror changes position, pointing down to the ground, erratically, usually when entering or leaving the car, or inserting the key, even though I am always using driver #1 key. I can reset it, use the memory button to save the position. It may work for several stops during a shopping trip, then change again on it's own. It is a safety hazard because when I want to change lanes I look at the mirror and it is pointed to the ground. The dealer where I always take my car for service, has not been able to determine the problem.

possibility that this could occur three more times. I know several people with this model deville ( not this year) that have the same problem but can not afford to get the part replaced consequently they are driving around with no window in the back.

I think it has not been addressed because the complaints appear to be unrelated. However taken as a whole for all the years it is significant. I you look at the window regulators you will see the problem. I do not know how to get cadillac to address this problem. *Tr
