“The windshield wipers do not work properly, irrespective of your speed or timing selection. This is now constant as they will not shut off. The wiper speed is fast and when it does intermittently stop, it stops in the middle of the drivers view and cannot be moved.”
NHTSA complaint #10619154, filed 2014-08, 64,000 miles“The windshield wipers do not work properly, irrespective of your speed or timing selection. This is now constant as they will not shut off. The wiper speed is fast and when it does intermittently stop, it stops in the middle of the drivers view and cannot be moved. This presents a safety issue as the driver is distracted trying to fix the wipers as well as the wipers blocking the drivers view. The wipers on this vehicle are long and broad. Which obstructs the drivers view head on. In eye range.”
NHTSA complaint #10557636, filed 2013-12, 78,000 miles“Erratic/unreliable wipers/motors and control (not blades). Wipers will not activate properly and when activated act erratically, example will not go into variable speed, will stop mid windshield. When deactivating can take a minute. The whole wiper system when turned off will stop in different positions on the windshield. This poses a safety issue since when you are driving the wipers will stop at an unpredictable time and in your field of vision. Thus blocking some view and also distracting the driver. Should you need more proof, I shot a video of what happens and can provide it if needed. …”
NHTSA complaint #10370484, filed 2010-12, 59,000 miles“The contact owns a 2007 Acura RDX. When the climate control system is placed on auto and the weather is warm, the recirculation will not shut off. This does not allow fresh air to enter the vehicle, and forces the contact to keep the recirculation on manual. The failure has occurred ever since the vehicle was purchased. Acura stated that the vehicle was designed to perform in that manner. The current mileage was 13,000 and failure mileage was 7. Updated 07/29/08 updated 08/01/08”
