“The front winshield wipers only work on high speed. When you shut off the wipers they stop wherever they want to. This is very dangerous for visibility purposes. High speed wipers are not always needed.”
NHTSA complaint #11300638, filed 2020-01, 60,000 miles“Initially, the component that was failing was the rear wiper blade. The wiper blade would not perform a proper rotation. It wouldn’t move at all when I would turn the switch, but anytime the car was unlocked or locked. The door was open or closed the blade would move. A few days later, one reverse light was out. The rear wiper doesn’t really pose any risks but with my reverse lights, failing and any other lights in the rear could be a safety issue. …”
