I have a 2003 Cavalier with less than 1500 miles and already it has several annoying problems. First off, the driver side power mirror (the glass itself) shakes very noticeably when driving. Also, there is a very annoying rattle noise coming from the right side of the dash near the passenger airbag. If you push on the part of the dash between the glove box and airbag, the noise goes away. A third issue is that the exhaust appears awfully black and sooty for such a new car. Is this normal. You can wipe off pure black when touching the inside of the exhaust. Car's idle is somewhat smooth, but more noticeable and rougher than when I first picked up the car. I obtained 25.8 MPG city and highway combined.
Anyone else have these problems? I intend to go to the dealer and soon as I can get a chance, but just curious whether I am the only one with these problems or not.
Oh yeah, if I get a replacement mirror assembly, will the dealer have to remove the door panel to remove the mirror (thus probably causing a new rattle when put back on), or just the black cover (where the control is)?
TIA, Matt
