“It was raining really heavy with lightning and thunderstorms and in the middle of the storm lightning came down and my wipers stopped working. I had to pull over to a safe place on the highway to wait for the heavy rain to stop before I could drive again.”
NHTSA complaint #10583340, filed 2014-04, 109,000 miles“Rear exterior safety lighting does not work due to design flaw where trunk lid breaks ground wires. Recall already done on other model years.
