The side mirrors erratically repositioned themselves each time the doors were unlocked or if the vehicle was put into reverse. Also, the reverse sensor did not work properly.

August 2003 Crash

When ever I unlock my 2003 ford expedition with the key ring clicker, the exterior side mirror erratically adjust itself to an unknown position. This occurs frequently and is a huge inconvenience for me because I have to always readjust the mirrors.
