Example complaints

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

“Two separate problems occurred with the windshield wiper assembly. First, on a yearly basis the rubber on the windshield wipers peels off the wiper blades while in use. Second, july 2000 the wipers stopped working while driving in a storm. I consider this a serious problem and should be of major concern because the wiper arm assembly contains a small plastic part which wore out. This plastic part is hidden under the exterior windshield trim of the car. …”

NHTSA complaint #732295, filed 2000-09
