Do you have the mirror switch put to the right or left mirror?

Only the passenger side is supposed to tilt

lol, but I think the pass mirror does go bad and stops tilting or returning to the correct position...

This is true. When I was in for the fuel pump recall, I had my SA take a look at it because it was doing exactly what you described...Found out a mooch was hitching a free ride the whole time! Tech said there were spider webs inside the unit (along w/ a little spider) that was touching the circuit board or whatever.

No spiderwebs or freeloaders ftw!

only the passenger side tilts down, if it dosnt tilt jus adjust the mirror abit on the up side should work perfectly!!!

hahaha if your driver side tilts too, you're on something

Both mirrors can tilt when reversing, but only one at a time. You can select which side tilts using the toggle switch below the 4 way mirror adjustment button.

on the switch, set to the left, the right mirror tilts down when reversing.
set to the right, the mirrors do nothing when reversing.
this is operating as the manual describes.

on my fathers lexus, both mirrors tilt down

Or perhaps you were facing backward in the driver's seat and confused right and left - happens all the time
