Anyone know or have had an issue with their driver side mirror? On my 2014 it won't stay adjusted. Every time I turn the vehicle off, and open the door, it automatically turns the mirror down so that every time I get back in, I have to reset it. I have followed the directions in the manual and even disconnected the battery for 30 minutes but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions appreciated.

It because the mirror was in that position when the "exit" seat memory was programmed. Simply put the seat in the place you want for exit with the mirrors adjusted normally, and re-memorize the exit memory using the door mounted buttons.
My "14 started displaying issues with the mirrors as its first symptom of a failing battery. Replaced the battery, and the problem went away. I never had any hard cranks or any other wonky behavior, but as soon as it did this, I saw the handwriting on the wall (after owning more than a couple C6s).
The battery is about a year old. Don't have any issues with starting the car. In case the car sits more then a couple days, I plug in the battery tender just in case.
If all else fails, I might get a new battery just for the heck of it. Thanks for your input.
I tried reprogramming the seat and mirrors for the exit memory but still have the same issue. I have to move the driver side mirror up to the driving position each time to drive.

Not all new batteries are good from the get-go, so it's worth a shot.
I had a substandard battery this year on my '05 C6. I started failing at only a bit over a year. Replaced under warranty from Track Auto.
Yours is not a well known issue, but a problem with some C7’s. I have read where some C6’s have the same problem. I can tell you I am in the middle of trying to run this problem down. I have taken it to the dealer. They are scratching their heads. It is not a set-up/reset problem, nor is it a battery or key FOB issue. The dealer recommended reprogramming my memory module. That $140 had no effect. I have already replaced the battery, the mirror module in the door, and the mirror actuator behind the mirror itself. Right now I am in the middle of replacing the memory module under the driver seat. After that the dealer will have to program it for the Corvette. If that doesn’t fix it, I have a mirror control module that I have cut the wire that controls the mirror position signals. At least that way it will stay put.
I will post results after I’m finished. Good luck.

I had the same issue when I first got my car. Like others said before, it is tied to the memory seat function. Once I disabled that, the mirror issue went away.

Good Luck.
Like myself, there are a few owners in this community that have reported "Memory Recall" issues even after disabling the "convenience" memory features such as "Easy Exit." Meaning, if you only use the door's side memory switches 1 & 2 to recall a seat/mirror position, the mirror drives to a position not stored.
my 14 coup did it for about a week when I first bought it... messed around with everything I could think of and it started working correctly.. I think I remember reading that the seat can not be all the way back on the exit settings, something about that switch...
After recently replacing the Memory Seat Module under the driver's seat, I had my dealer program the required firmware. (Without the C7 program, NONE of the adjustment switches on the side panel functioned.) I noticed this new module had a couple different numbers stamped on it. Probably a revision to the circuit. I asked the parts dept. to verify the part number is correct. The next day I started to play around with settings and storing my memory presets. Well, it looks like I've gone backwards. Once when I opened the PASSENGER door, the DRIVER seat moved full forward in position and tilted against the steering wheel. After this, the seat back tilt wouldn't tilt the seat back. It would tilt forward no problem. When trying to recline the seat, I could hear a relay clicking in the module but no seat movement.
I then pulled the battery to do a "reset" of the system - no joy! I reinstalled the original factory-installed Memory Seat Module. Now all switches function normally. I'm hesitant to try another memory module or a reprogram. I guess you can say I'm tired of throwing money at this problem.
I have tried everything except the Body Control Module for this problem. A list of actions to this point (in order):
1. Reset all memory functions per published AND Youtube instructions.
2. Replaced battery
3. Dealer reloaded Memory Seat Module firmware.
4. Owner replaced Mirror Control Module (in driver's door)
Since my issue was isolated to only the driver's side vertical adjust (and it started driving max up or down, depending on its mood) I traced that signal from the memory module to the mirror actuator. I cut the pin that makes contact with the up/down motor and simply adjusted the mirror vertical position manually. Now I can continue to use my memory recall features. This includes the "Easy Exit" AND the quick tap of the 1 & 2 switches on the door. Not exactly a fix, but a work-around I can live with.
