Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I have a 2003 chevy s-10 quad cab 4-wheel drive. When it has been raining and I hit a puddle, instead of the water going out towards the sides of the vehicle, it comes straight up in front pf the truck like a giant tidal wave and then onto the entire windshield. This problem is dangerous. I cannot see the road and if I have to turn on my wipers, that takes extra time to clear the windshield. I have a friend who is a service manager for a chevy dealer and when he saw it happen he was shocked. He stated he has never seen anything like that. …”

“The biggest issue with the growing number of SUV like vehicles on the roads is that you can't see through them. Very often accidents between non-SUV cars are caused by the fact that they can't see through an SUV. Those central-raised brake lights on cars - you can't see those if there is an SUV in front of you. Is this on anybody's radar screens?”
