Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Windshield wipers do not effectively clear the snow; the snow is pushed into the air intake; the melted snow forms ice/snow globs on the windshield wipers reducing visibility to very hazardous levels. This buildup has to be manually removed with a scraper. This wiper blade assembly is used on all newer Audi's ( 2002 forward) and some volkswagens. We purchased the 2004 allroad and a 2005 vw toureg this spring under dealer certified used car programs. Both have the same wiper assembly. …”
